Its that time of the week again! Here are the fixtures and my thoughts on the Premier League matches that lie ahead.
*times are CAT
A few very good games this weekend but there is only one big clash that stands out and that is the opener for the weekend. Manchester United welcome Spurs to Old Trafford. This game is going to be very interesting. Spurs are in great form in the League as they beat Liverpool 4-1 last weekend and Man United is still recovering from that shock loss to Huddersfield. It will be interesting to see how Jose Mourinho implements tactics. Will he be on the defensive like we have seen him go against top 6 teams or will he use the attacking players that he has. Harry Kane is doubtful for the match which is a big blow for Spurs, but they still have good attacking power in the likes of Son and Alli. One thing is certain: this will be a thriller.
Arsenal take on Swansea at the emirates and The Gunners will not be settling for anything less than 3 points after last weekends performance. And with the combination of Lacazette, Ozil and Alexis, the Swansea defense might have a very difficult time.
Huddersfield visit Liverpool. Can they bring another Premier League giant to their knees? It is most defiantly possible and it will be interesting to see how Jurgen Klopp reacts after the poor result last weekend.
Man City travel to West Brom, and i think this match might well end up in a draw. West Brom are very good defensivly and many teams have struggled to take 3 points away from The Hawthorns. Good momentum can only last so long.
The champions, Chelsea play away against Bournemouth and we have seen The Cherries upset Chelsea in the past. This smaller club is notorious for comebacks and beating big teams. With talks of players turning on the manager and there being a bit of turmoil in the Blues' dressing room, we might just see Chelsea dropping points.
Some of the other games I am looking forward to are Leicester vs Everton and Burnley vs Newcastle.
