Based purely on fixtures, it doesn’t look good for Bournemouth or Villa. Sadly I think West Ham will get out of it, but you never know what performance they’ll put in. West Ham do have Spurs and Chelsea next, but their run in overall (on paper) is easier.
Finding it psychologically really interesting, that there’s waaaaaay less play acting and rolling around without a crowd influencing things.
At left back - that would have been entertaining!Oh shame .... was hoping they’d bring Lovren on![]()

Merseyside Derby or Champions elect warm up game?
I’m bored, time to watch something else
Aston Villa v Sheffield United and Man City v Arsenal were postponed from their original dates pre-lockdown due to the EFL Cup final. So they had to be played first to ensure everyone had played the same amount of games.It IS very dull, I’ll agree.
How come Sheffield United had to play twice before these two teams played? I don’t understand
