GW 17: Arsenal vs. Manchester City

Image
Arsenal vs. Manchester City This Premier League season has been one of disappointment for many sides, and the league table will be shocking to most, even at this stage of the campaign. Many of the historically elite sides still find themselves in poor positions, despite the halfway point rapidly approaching. Two of these clubs are Arsenal and Manchester City, who are set to face on matchweek 17. Currently, Manchester City sit in 3rd, while Arsenal are in 9th, having both experienced extraordinary downfalls from seasons prior. What's worse, neither of these teams have seen an improvement over the last few weeks, and their recent form suggests that they are actually on the decline. This makes this match more important than ever, as both sides need a strong result in order to turn things around and get their seasons back on track. In previous years, Manchester City have been dominant in this fixture, having won every Premier League game between them over the last two...

GW 17: Wolves vs. Tottenham

Wolves vs. Tottenham With 16 Premier League gameweeks having been played, the halfway point of the 2019/20 campaign is rapidly approaching, as we look forwards towards the end of the decade. At this stage of the season, the Premier League table is still fairly unstable, and two teams who have moved into Europa League spots recently are Wolves and Tottenham. Both of these sides have demonstrated good form over the past few weeks, and they are set to play on gameweek 17. These clubs have endured similar seasons up to this point, as they both struggled to get off the mark, but have now found themselves in a position to challenge for European football, and possibly an elusive spot in the top 4. For Spurs, they have seen a massive dropoff from last season, in which they placed 4th. Wolves, however, will be relatively pleased with their campaign up to this point, and with the insecurity that teams like Manchester United and Chelsea have faced recently, they’ll be positive ...

GW 16: Manchester City vs. Manchester United

Manchester City vs. Manchester United With the Premier League fixtures coming thick and fast over the next few weeks, the pressure is on the teams near the top to push through this period, and nobody can afford to drop points. After the first set of midweek fixtures this season, Premier League action is returning with a bang this weekend, with the Manchester Derby to be played on Saturday. Neither of the Manchester sides have performed to their expectations this season, and although they place relatively highly in the league table, they are both some ways of their respective goals. City are currently in 3rd, 11 points of league leaders Liverpool, while United have just recently moved into a Europa League position. Despite sitting in 6th, United are 8 points away from the top 4 finish that they would have been hoping for, with a historically difficult fixture coming up next for them. Derby games always offer the highest entertainment, and this fixture has seen some cr...

Manchester United vs. Tottenham As we move into December, the Premier League schedule is more packed than ever, and the first midweek set of fixtures of the season is bound to bring drama. Although the Merseyside derby is scheduled for Wednesday, the main attraction this gameweek could be between Manchester United and Spurs. These sides have both been struggling for form in the opening parts of this campaign, and they have found themselves much further down the table than they would have liked. Manchester United are currently languishing in 9th, while Spurs have actually improved recently and have found themselves in 5th. However, both teams are still quite some ways away from the top 4 finish that they would have been hoping for, and significant progress is needed if either team is to challenge that area. Over the past few seasons, this fixture has often been crucial to the sides involved, and while the clubs might not be performing at the same level, it is still a...
