Preamble
The week’s European action has decimated the traditional Saturday 3pm slot, but there is still much to play for this afternoon. Manchester City have a five-point deficit to make up on Liverpool after last week’s defeat at Norwich City. They strolled in midweek with Fernandinho in central defence against Shakhtar Donetsk, but Watford’s burly forwards might make life a little different for the Brazilian. What does that dreamboat Quique Sanchez Flores have planned? Real man Toy Deeney would have fancied a pop.
Mind, City have not lost to Watford since 1989 and have won the last 11 meetings. scoring 38 goals.
What next for Norwich and Teemu Pukki? Burnley could provide something of a rough landing. Dycheball v Farkeball, a clash of styles. Burnley have not won since opening day but their equaliser at Brighton last week through Jeff Hendrick was the type of sweeping goal that Norwich have become noted for.
Marco Silva’s sheen is being tarnished by Everton being, well, Everton again. They were hopeless last week at Bournemouth, frankly. Sheffield United, after their bright start, know they are in the Premier League now, and were on the end of VAR last week against Southampton. No Billy Sharp for them, either, after his red card in that game.
The Championship, after Leeds take on strugglers Derby in that early game, will see Swansea, who began the day level on points, taking on Bristol City. At the bottom, how can Stoke get on at Brentford. Or has Nathan Jones been going on too long?
In League One, Ipswich have chance to go back to the top with their match at Gillingham and in League Two, leaders Exeter are at Newport.
All that and the latest from Germany and Scotland, too.
