Saturday football (22 Jan)
|
|
EVERTON vs ASTON VILLA (1230 ko)
Rafa’s departure has given the headline writers a body blow, but they should still have enough to think of something corny about this one. A feisty start to the day’s fixtures beckons, Duncan Ferguson taking on an old Toffees’ nemesis. Draw.
BRENTFORD vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (1500)
Brentford have been uncomfortably leaky in recent games and that should suit their visitors down to the ground. Away win.
LEEDS UNITED vs NEWCASTLE UNITED (1500)
This probably doesn’t count as a six-pointer, the more so after Leeds collected three points last time out. For Newcastle, the situation looks increasingly desperate. They have to pick up points somewhere, somehow(e). One, at least, from today’s visit to Yorkshire. Draw.
MANCHESTER UNITED vs WEST HAM UNITED (1500)
Two teams that are scintillating at their best and dire at other times. The trouble is that you’re never quite sure which one to expect. If we go in believing we can and will win, there’s absolutely no reason we can’t leave Old Trafford with one if not all points. The whole team should be smarting from an almighty rocket up their collective backside after the appalling defeat at home to Leeds. Will Rangnick be tempted to give Jesse Lingard a rare starting place? Interesting – and, perhaps, clever – psychology if he does. There’s something to be had from this visit up north, let’s hope we’re up for it. Draw.
SOUTHAMPTON vs MANCHESTER CITY (1730)
The Saints lie just one point from the comfort of tenth spot. The visitors have an eleven goal advantage over the side in second place. That’s one heck of a challenge for Southampton. Away win.
**SUNDAY**
ARSENAL vs BURNLEY (1400)
After last night’s atypical Norwich win at Watford, Burnley now sit bottom of the table, albeit with a remarkable five games in hand over Norwich. It wasn’t so long ago that their fate mattered a lot more to Arsenal than it now does. It’s a measure of their progress that an expected win today may see them leapfrog us. Come on, you Clarets! Home win.
CRYSTAL PALACE vs LIVERPOOL (1400)
No room for any slips today if Liverpool are to maintain their unlikely chase of Man City for the title. Away win.
LEICESTER CITY vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1400)
It’s hard to get overexcited by this one. Home win.
CHELSEA vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (1630)
Form says Spurs. But this is where top managers earn their bread. Territorial advantage plus an end to their dip to tip the balance. Pumpernickel to trump focaccia. Home win.

Very soft VAR decision for the Scouse, you can see the keeper put his arms up and almost lean back as he doesn’t want the collision, what was he meant to do? It was Jota that wanted the Collison!! Liverpool would have won any way but that was a poor call IMO.
Mind you how Westwood of Burnley stayed on the pitch for that tackle was also a bit of a joke! Not even a yellow for the lunge on the Arsenal player whose name I forget! Had the idiot Arteta at his animated and aggressive best though seething on the touchline and waving his arms around....hahahaha

Tottenham have some tough games coming up, next 3 are Southampton, Wolves and Man City. Can see them losing a couple of those.
Waiting for the Conte vs. Levy contest to start now.

The problem for Spurs is that all the sort of players they need to close the YAWNING chasm to the teams above them are likely to go to those teams.
And they will be getting more like N'Dobbly, LaCelso, E Royal J Rodon & B Gil while battling on with a resentful Harold Kane and their TWIN CRAB midfield of H Winks & O Skipp.

Il be astonished if Conte stays beyond this season . The gulf in class between them and Chelsea is staggering . There at least 6 players short .

Good results for us today
Still 3 games in hand for the yids and 2 for Arsenal but one of them they play eachother so one of them at least will be dropping points

Lukaku is a real disappointment for a £97m centre forward
Chelsea have spent £150m on him & Werner
T Silva takes a dive. Did the same when Bowen scored at Stamford Bridge last season I recall. Now centre halves dive!
