Matchweek 26
Before I proceed with this week’s deliberation, let me just gloat that I called CHE’s drubbing of the Terriers to a T.
Now let’s get to it.
Teams to Watch -
MCI v CHE
I spoke at length how Maurizio will not drop the (Sarri)ball against HUD last week but MCI at home is another matter altogether.
Hot of a slew of matches, the Cityzens will be pumped to be at the freaking perch and will defo seek to carry on their winning momentum.
I don’t see that stopping tonight.
LIV v BOU
Klopp’s recent “artistic” run of results would have made the serial draw-er, a certain Jose, blush.
They were made to look drab by a high-pressing WHU, and only an offside goal breached the Hammers’ rearguard.
BOU will aim to employ those similar tactics away at Anfield to get at least a point off the Reds.

My head suggests a narrow victory for LIV but my heart is crying out for at least a BOU draw. Pretty please, with Cherries on top.
Players to Watch -
Tielemans
He would need to play a big part if LEI were to trump Spurs and remind the world his stint at Monaco was, but an aberration.
Richarlison
Back at the club he started out in the BPL, it would be poetic if this fixture was to reinvigorate his form and that of his current employers’ slump.
Special Mention -
Everton
The Toffees have melted in recent weeks and it’s disappointing that these group of players a caught in that sticky situation (yet again). Will it finally come to a halt this weekend? I for one seem to think so.
Cardiff
They played their hearts out in memory of the unfortunate Sala and ran out shock victors against an in-form BOU. Question is — can they muster all that will and effort away from the Bluebirds’ nest?
P.S. have you seen THAT disgusting tweet, a terrace chant from what appears to be a LIV fan, comparing their Mo Salah to the recently departed Emi Sala?
Nadir.
