Preamble
There are five games tonight (we will focus on the 7.30pm BST kick-offs) in the Premier League, and there is no shortage of intrigue among the offering.
Liverpool will be looking to follow up their victory over Manchester City when West Ham visit. Jurgen Klopp’s side looked more aggressive and confident at Anfield on Sunday so a replication of such a performance will ensure it is a tricky night for David Moyes’ side. The Hammers, however, will not be fearful thanks to a five-game unbeaten run and if they can carry on such a sequence they will be ecstatic.
Elsewhere, Newcastle are hosting Everton. Eddie Howe’s side sit sixth at the start of the night and could move up a place if Spurs get something at Manchester United in the 8.15pm kick-off. The Magpies and their expensively assembled squad are looking like a side who can challenge for European spots, having not lost since August. Everton are slowly improving under Frank Lampard thanks to a more stable defence and midfield but they really need to find some zip in the final third if they are to get back to being a top-half team because they are struggling for goals.
Brentford and Chelsea are doing battle in a west London derby. The Bees showed what they could do against Brentford on Friday and Graham Potter can do no wrong at Chelsea, making it an intriguing 90 minutes ahead.
If all that is not too much for you, then we can indulge ourselves with Bournemouth v Southampton. One side is looking composed under a caretaker manager, while the other could soon need one. Gary O’Neil is unbeaten since replacing Scott Parker on a temporary basis and Southampton, arriving in the relegation zone, are tipped to send Ralph Hassenhuttl packing if results do not take a dramatic upwards turn.
Here’s to a fun night!
