Opinion
Championship action returns this week as the midweek fixtures are spread across Tuesday and Wednesday night, and the latter provides us with two matches in particular where former managers return to their old haunts…
Premier League Everton’s recent poor form in the English top-flight has led to talk of the Toffees potential involvement in the fight for survival. A 1-0 defeat at Watford on Saturday means that the Merseysiders have lost six of their last eight league games in the English top-flight, winning just twice in the process.
Manchester City headed into their home game with Chelsea on Sunday expecting a tough afternoon. However, it turned out to be far more comfortable than anybody expected as the Citizens hammered the Blues 6-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Injured Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar celebrated his birthday on February 5th. The Brazilian football star turned 27-years old and held a massive party to celebrate despite being sidelined with another metatarsal injury.
Look back to the 3-1 defeat at Liverpool in the Premier League and it appeared there was very little Manchester United fans were going to have to cheer about this season.
So many column inches have been written about Tottenham this season and either their failure or perhaps lack of desire in terms of signing new players. However, it was a sub-plot that almost went away after a string of impressive results.
On Monday night, Premier League leaders Liverpool drew 1-1 with West Ham to extend their lead at the top of the table to three points over reigning champions Manchester City. Despite the point, there seems to be a feeling of deflation about the Reds.
The mid-week Premier League results did not make good reading for Chelsea fans. Having lost 2-0 at Arsenal in their previous league games, the Blues were expected to produce a much better performance in the away trip to Bournemouth.
If you had been at Anfield on Wednesday night for Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Leicester City, you may have thought the Reds were about to be relegated. To the contrary, Liverpool moved five points ahead of Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title.
Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat at relegation-threatened Newcastle on Wednesday night.
Premier League Everton’s league campaign has been full of ups and downs this season. The Toffees are currently mid-table and look highly unlikely to finish in the top-six.
Barcelona’s transfer signing of Sassuolo’s Kevin-Prince Boateng is proof that there is little value for money in the winter window.
Chelsea are on the verge of signing Argentinian striker Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus on loan until the end of the season, with the deal extending another season if he achieves pre-set objectives.
Tottenham recorded a 2-1 victory at Fulham on Sunday courtesy of a last-gasp effort from midfielder Harry Winks.
Tottenham have a striking crisis on their hands after England captain Harry Kane was ruled out of action until March with an ankle injury. The 25-year-old picked up the injury in stoppage-time of Spurs 1-0 defeat against Manchester United at Wembley on Sunday.
Unai Emery’s first season at Arsenal was always going to be one of transition. Having taken over the role as manager from the long-serving and hugely successful Arsene Wenger, it is going to take time for any changes to have an impact.
Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points with a win at Brighton on Saturday. Manchester City could cup the gap on Monday night, though, as the Citizens host Wolves.
It has been nearly 15 long years since Leeds United last graced the English Premier League.
Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat at Wolves in the FA Cup third round on Monday night. The defeat now means that Jurgen Klopp’s side has lost their last two games in all competitions after a defeat to Manchester City in their last league game.
Having sacked Jose Mourinho before Christmas, Manchester United have since been linked with several big names in management.
