Hull City vs. Liverpool - Possible Line-up + Prediction
Monday, 11 November 2013
Team of the Weekend: Man Utd Back in the Title Race; Liverpool Smash Fulham
 |
| The Daily Telegraph |
With all of their closest
rivals dropping points, the weekend belonged to both Liverpool and, more
interestingly, Manchester United; the current champions, and arguably sleeping
giants so far this season.
It was a monumental
step for United on Sunday, as they defeated current leaders Arsenal, 1-0 at Old
Trafford. It was a hard fought, chess-like encounter, with chances few and far
between; and it was Robin Van Persie’s first half header that ensured all three
points went to the Red Devils.
Liverpool saw off a
flailing Fulham, 4-0, with Luis Suarez amongst the goals once more, as the
Anfield outfit closed the gap on Arsenal to just two points.
Newcastle keeper, Tim
Krul was a man-possessed at White Hart Lane, keeping Spurs at bay almost
singlehandedly, earning his side an unlikely 1-0 win.
Manchester City’s
troubles on the road continued, with a 1-0 defeat to lowly Sunderland the
latest in a string of damaging away losses for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
Jose Mourinho came
mighty close to losing his astounding Premier League undefeated home record
against West Brom on Saturday. Were it not for a contentious penalty given in
stoppage time, converted by Eden Hazard, the Portuguese would have had to have bid
farewell to an unbeaten run stretching back to the very start of his first
spell in charge.

Team of the Weekend: Suarez & Torres Feature In Attack-Minded XI
 |
| The Daily Mirror |
It was a weekend to
savour for the majority of the top clubs in the country, with goals aplenty for
some of the Premier League’s most feared marksmen. Clean sheets were scarce
commodities, as strikers up and down the country ran riot; just another day for
one of the greatest football leagues in the world.
The story of the
weekend came from Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea
beat the formidable Man City 2-1, thanks to a
fortuitous late goal from recent goal-machine, Fernando Torres. A mix-up at the
back from the City defenders allowed the Spaniard to nip in and steal all three
of the points for the Blues, sending reverberations around the Premier League. A
potentially critical result in the grand scheme of things; one that may come
back to play a big part come the business end of the season.
The red half of
Manchester had a little more luck, but just barely, having fought back to win
3-2, after being behind twice at Old Trafford against a stubborn Stoke
side. Arsenal maintained their lead at the top
of the EPL with a hard fought 2-0 win over manager-less Crystal Palace; with
the Gunners playing with ten men for the best part of half an hour at Selhurst
Park.
Luis Suarez
continued his rich vein of form, smashing three past a bewildered West Brom, on
the way to a thumping 4-1 win; and Spurs
snatched a 1-0 win over Premier League new boys, Hull thanks to a late penalty
from big money man, Roberto Soldado.Monday, 30 September 2013
The ‘Football-Talk’ Team of the Weekend: Gameweek 6
All things change, and following a weekend of
surprise results among the teams at the top of the table, that change may be
closer than once thought!
Both Manchester clubs came unstuck against lower
sides in the division, once more proving the depth of quality that currently
resides throughout the Premier League.
United arguably had the biggest upset, with their
1-2 defeat to West Brom at Old Trafford a real eye-opener, and an equally real
kick in the teeth for beleaguered boss, David Moyes. The Scot has barely
readjusted the seat in the dugout since the departure of the stalwart Sir Alex
Ferguson, and the walls have already started to come crashing down around him.
After last week’s abysmal loss to City, this latest defeat will have only increased the enormous pressure on the former Everton man.

Manchester
United’s haul of seven points from their opening six matches represents
their worst start to a season since 1989-90!
City themselves suffered the ignominy of a shock
defeat away to Villa that same Saturday, as a likely win was snatched away from
them after some typically poor away day defending from the Citizens.
Spurs and Chelsea
shared the spoils at White Hart Lane, after a hotly contested 1-1 draw. Arsenal and
Liverpool lead the way
at the top, with both sides collecting valuable 3 points away from home.

Player of the Year 2012/13: The Top 5 Strikers
And so, I finish off my Players of the Year
roundup the same way most teams end successful attacks, with the strikers.
Exceptional to the last, the men on this list have risen to glory from a
multitude of different starting points. Impressing on loan from mega
parent-clubs, breaking the heart of a former club, dancing barefaced in the
light of controversy, performing heroics for an underdog, and emerging from the
shroud of lower league obscurity – each if these strikers has had a uniquely
defining season.
