We are back in action with the Premier League this week after the midweek European action and it promises to be a very interesting weekend of matches with some big games lined up across Saturday and Sunday.
There are games on Friday and Monday this week too, which leaves just eight games across the weekend, but amongst them are some crackers including Leeds United taking on Chelsea in a game that will have purists of 1970s football purring with delight.
If you haven’t seen any of the clashes between these two teams on YouTube from the early 1970s, I’d highly recommend it and you will be able to see why it would be the case if the game was played back then as it was today, both teams would have been down to about 3 men apiece at the end of the game.
There’s also the big North London derby game on Sunday with Arsenal hosting Tottenham in what should be a very interesting game. Spurs have had the better of things in the most recent meetings between these two teams and with Bale, Kane and Son now all in tandem and starting to fire together, that is a worrying sign for an Arsenal defence that has defended like the Keystone Cops in some recent games.
We’ve also got Manchester United facing West Ham on Sunday night in what should be a good game at Old Trafford which will have a real impact on both teams chances of Champions League football next season.
Let’s take a look at my predictions for this weeks games.
