Hello everyone!
I have been meaning to set up a thread every Saturday morning pre-kick off to discuss your team's chances of winning, losing, getting relegated or promoted. It will be a bit like Football Focus so will mainly focus on the Premier League unless there is demand for the other leagues as well. Here goes! The teams playing today are:
3pm KO
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
Brighton vs Huddersfield
Leicester vs Newcastle
Stoke vs Spurs
Watford vs Burnley
West Brom vs Swansea
5.30 KO
Man City vs Man Utd
Sunday
Arsenal vs Southampton (2.15pm KO)
Chelsea vs West Ham (4.30pm KO)
My team are Arsenal who had a good result during the week in Europa and it looks like we are going through to the next phase (unless we implode which is highly likely!).
There is a Manchester derby that should be a great match, just in terms of the managers stropping with each other.
Anyway, over to you!

"There's a lot riding on the Manchester derby.... A certain personal wager could affect next weekend positively."
Have you got a bet on this? I think City will win after losing so badly mid-week to Liverpool. |

"I really hope it's a blue day in both derby games"
So your going of Chelsea and Man City I tend to agree. What on earth is going on with Hammers? Any Hammers fans want to share their concerns? |

"Why haven’t you mentioned Everton v Liverpool.
Away win most likely"
My apologies
It is a 12.30 KO
Liverpool played a blinding game on Wednesday - they blew City apart. Klopp has a good bunch of players now so it will be tough on Everton. |

Liverpool need a win to keep the pressure on united.
And I'm praying city beat them and win the title at Old Trafford.
Really really really not a fan of United. |

Is that because of the manager or the team? Mourinho does like to be the centre of attention |

Does anyone else actually regard Mourinho as a world class manager or like myself see him as a guy playing a manager game with an unlimited budget.
I'd be so interested to see him take on a team like West Brom and see just how good he is.. |

I'm a Liverpool fan. Always hated United and Mourinho is in my eyes an average manager but simply has always had access to unlimited funds. Most managers would be a success with so much cash. |

Agreed - he would struggle with no funds. Look at the great job Ed Howe is doing at Bournemouth! But then again, Wenger has the money but doesn't always use it! |

I'm an Arsenal fan and am only interested in three games. Ours, City's and Chelseas. A great weekend would be wins for Arsenal, West Ham and City. A good one would be a Gunners victory. |

I am a Cockney red fan and I hate to say it but City are going to beat us today unless Jose does something against his nature like try and attack to win the game rather than wait for the opponents to make a mistake. |

Early KO
Everton v Liverpool
I honestly don't know what the score is, but I'm hoping forva Everton win.
3pm KO
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
This will be a tight game, but I think Bournemouth will win (as long as JD is on form)
Brighton vs Huddersfield
I have a soft spot for Brighton and they need to bounce back from last week's humiliation. Brighton win.
Leicester vs Newcastle
Hate Mike Ashley, so it has to be a Leicester win for me.
Stoke vs Spurs
As a Spurs fan, I have to say a Spurs win.
Watford vs Burnley
Burnley are on fire this season, although they are going through a rough patch (I think). Burnley win.
West Brom vs Swansea
Both teams are in difficulty and need a win. Draw.
5.30 KO
Man City vs Man Utd
City win. Hate Man U, not a fan of the whinging one.
Sunday
Arsenal vs Southampton (2.15pm KO)
It has to be a Southampton win (although, I don't think it will happen)
Chelsea vs West Ham (4.30pm KO)
Hate both teams. Chelsea need to come back after being beaten by Spurs last week and WH need to prove that last week wasn't a fluke. Hoping for a draw, but expecting a Chelsea win. |

Thanks for the analysis! Still 0-0 at Goodison! |

Liverpool doing their usual and following up an amazing display midweek with a dour draw with a side managed by the uber negative dinosaur that is Sam Allardyce.
Disappointing. |

Bugger, I forgot Allardyce is Everton manager. Glad it finished 0-0 then! |

If the ref writes it in their report at the end of the match that they saw it, nothing can be done. It's to stop the ref being undermined. |

"The city is ours!!!!! The city is ours!!!!
Slated the pathetic lot at half time, had everyone on social media ripping in to me. Full time get in!!!!
Up the fooking reds "
City had to let you have something to cheer about before celebrating the title in a couple weeks. Just keeps the season fun for longer xx

fair enough, but the issue is that if that happened in the world cup in the summer, that is one of the things that would be looked at by VAR......... so it is swings and roundabouts....
anyway i am guessing arsenal will put out the reserves today against southampton with thursday night in moscow in mind
anyway i am like in sports heaven today, commonwealth games, hong kong rugby 7's, footy, the f1 gp and paris-roubaix classic cycling.....

The sad thing is, that was deamed an acceptable tackle back when football was a physical sport. (Not played by sentimental athletes). He got ball fiirst, which clearly shows intention for getting the ball and not the player. Why that rule changed I’ll never know. As when playing, I have to back off, because I might contact the player after the ball amd risk a card. . The premier ship is soft, yes. It should have been a penalty (according to the rules and precidents set before ). |

A member of the toon army? We don’t travel well but you never can tell! Arsenal have taken me to real highs and heartbreak within minutes! I’m usually an emotional wreck when I watch them. |

BHA V Huddersfield
Appalling, total shambles, quiet embarrassing, on both sides.
As for the Hudd fan who walked into the club bar after the game & called Brighton a bunch of gay wankers... What did you think would happen. |
