Opinion
This season seems one of uncertainty in the English Premier League. At the time of writing, two of the teams in the top four having played 14 matches are Everton and Leicester City.
Three of the eight teams that line-up for the Quarter-Finals of the League Cup this season have never won the competition before. Between them, Stoke, Tottenham, Man Utd, Arsenal and Man City have won the League Cup on 19 occasions, but Everton, Brentford and Newcastle have never lifted this trophy before.
On Thursday night, Sheffield United suffered a 3-2 home defeat against Manchester United at Bramall Lane. The way that the Blades have performed of late and considering their opposition the defeat may not have come as a massive shock.
On Tuesday night, Manchester City hosted West Brom at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League. The Citizens were heavy favourites to win.
The 2020/21 English Premier League season is different to many that have gone before due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Many British football head coaches have been written off in the last few years. Mainly because their recent records in managerial have been questionable, to say the least. One of those is West Ham boss David Moyes.
Southampton have made a good start to their Premier League campaign. The Saints are currently fifth-place in the top-flight table, just a point outside the Champions League spots.
Since the start of the season, Manchester United have been a highly inconsistent mess. Some games they show up and dazzle, yet some the players look like they have never met before. Unfortunately for the Red Devils, they endured one of the latter matches on Tuesday night.
With 10-games played, by the majority of teams in Serie A this season, AC Milan top the table and for the first time in a long time, look like genuine title contenders.
At the time of writing, the majority of teams in the English Premier League have each played 11 matches and it is Tottenham Hotspur who sit at the top of the table.
On Sunday afternoon, Tottenham retained their lead at the top of the Premier League with a disciplined 2-0 north London derby win against Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Celtic are winless in nine of their last 10 games in all competitions. The Hoops are in chaos and Neil Lennon is on the verge of being sacked – if he hasn’t been already by the time you read this.
Paris Saint-Germain have won seven of the last eight Ligue 1 titles. Since Qatari Sports Investment’s takeover of the club, they have been nailed on title winners before the beginning of each season with the real challenge being just how many points the team will collect.
Olivier Giroud showed that he is far from finished by netting all four of Chelsea’s goals against Sevilla in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Barcelona stalwart, Gerard Pique, sustained an injury during the game against Atletico Madrid which will keep him out for the rest of the season.
A look at the English Premier League table on the morning of the 30th of November shows Arsenal down in 14th place. They have only 13 points to show from their 10 games played this season and a -2 goal difference.
Lens were promoted back to Ligue 1 despite the campaign being cut short. In the end, despite only occupying 2nd-place by a single point with 10-matches still left to play, Lens were gifted promotion along with Lorient. Lens’ promotion saw them return to the top-flight after 5-seasons in Ligue 2.
It is no secret that 2020 has been a phenomenal year for Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has established himself as one of the deadliest forwards in the game – and he has now been recognised for his efforts.
On Sunday afternoon Everton recorded a 3-2 win at struggling Fulham. The result was a close one in the end after Fulham put in an admirable second-half display.
Brentford are the masters of Moneyball although their current position of 11th in the EFL Championship doesn’t necessarily show it. The Bees narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, losing to rivals Fulham in the playoff final.
