With massive Merseyside and London derbies on Saturday, as well as Pep versus De Zerbi, we can almost forgive the Premier League for f***ing off for a fortnight. This really is a biggie…After what feels like a 427-day international break, the Premier League is back and treating us to a dirty weekend, starting in
As many a paranoid Red will tell you, Craig Pawson hates Liverpool, as does VAR official David Coote. They haven’t forgiven the latter for failing to intervene when Jordan Pickford knacked Virgil van Dijk three years ago. We all know Chelsea’s glaring weakness: having spent a billion quid, still they remain without a ruthless b*stard up front. But there are plenty of positives around that void where a top-class centre-forward should be. Raheem Sterling was outstanding last time out; Cole Palmer is showing why Chelsea spent what seemed like silly money for a rookie; Mykhailo Mudryk, fresh from his first Premier League and international goals, might finally be hitting his straps.
The academy graduate has come under fire for some of his decision-making this season as he gets to grips with playing with and servicing a proper centre-forward in Rasmus Hojlund. His performances have offered the impression of a player in dire need of a break, which England duty might have provided.
Brighton will press City perhaps like no other side so Rodri’s availability is even more important than it would have been against almost anyone else. But Pep will have seen Seagulls picked off in recent weeks, especially by Aston Villa. So City for once may be content not to dominate the ball, focusing more on direct, lightning-quick breaks rather than death by a 1000 passes.
That, their own home form, and a creditable point at Southampton last time out offers the Millers some encouragement as they desperately try to avoid being cut further adrift in the bottom three.during the summer, but Juve have been left to pick up the pieces around Nicolo Fagioli’s admission of guilt.
