    They're going to have so many matches in the second half of the season that there will still be scope for them to appoint two new managers.

    With Liverpool having to play in the semi final of the EFL Cup and maybe a final - likewise Chelsea,, and having to rearrange matches, in addition to possibly losing Salah and Mane, this, in theory, favours Manchester City!!

    Games are stacking up for Burnley

    I guess there are reasons they can’t try and schedule a match against a club without the cases but who also have a postponed match. Other than short notice which is a good reason in and of itself

    Spurs Vs Crystal Palace looks set to be postponed as well, following a covid outbreak in the Palace squad

    Oh good.
    We get to face a fully refreshed Spurs team on Tuesday. What could possibly go wrong?

    We have a game before facing Sours in which players returning from injury will regain match fitness. No wrongs right?

    Can someone explain to me how you can do two fouls that give away penalties and not be booked for either?

    I haven’t seen them but that still seems fortunate

    Is it a perk of having a transfer fee over 40m or something ?

    Don't get me wrong, Lukaku has done really well there. But Mings didn't even attempt to jump. One lame attempt to try and block Lukaku is all he offered. Horrendous defending.

    Arsenal are only 12 points off the top of the league. Given the start they had that's pretty good. Arteta has got them moving in the right direction.

    Hmmm. I'm still far from being convinced by them and think they'll drop off again in new year.

    It doesn’t seem to really work when they try and play both of Ings and Watkins

    And there is no way they can fit those two and their two 30m+ signings all in one side
