Matchday 17 is here and having seen or heard what happened as they were 8 penalties awarded in matchday 16 as all were converted. The top 3 teams have to fight hard to come out with a win through the spot-kicks.
Brentford has picked up 3 vital points against Watford during the weekend will hope to repeat the same fate when they face Manchester United that equally needs a win to keep their top 4 hopes alive. Norwich City welcomes Aston haven lost to Manchester United during the weekend as Aston Villa loses to Liverpool to make the encounter more interesting. Table leader Manchester City will welcome Leeds United to Etihad stadium to continue their unbeaten run of 6 matches.
Brighton versus Wolverhampton is a nice fixture I expect goals in that match. Burnley versus Watford as both teams hope to get back to winning ways but till then, 90 minutes will decide. Crystal Palace's whooping of Everton during the weekend will give the Eagles more morale as they host Southampton. Arsenal versus West Ham United is gonna be the match for the mid-week as a win for the Gunners will see them leapfrog the Hammers.
Thursday is another day as matches will take place. Leicester City will welcome Hotspur to the King Power stadium having run route on Newcastle United during the weekend. Hotspur having rested as their match as Brighton was called off. Chelsea will hope the good luck is on their side as they welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge hoping to infringe more pains to the Merseyside. Liverpool will love to avoid any slip-off as they welcome Newcastle United to Anfield hoping for but nothing than the 3 points.
The top 3 position is a stake as draw or loses will give another team hopes to overtake. The bottom side is also at stake as a win to any of the rock bottom will put their survival chances in the balance. I am happy because all the clubs from England have made it to the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League which is a bonus that the English Premier League is doing extremely well at the international stages. It is a wrap, I remain the sports Oracle as more updates will come your way after matchday 17 is over.
