When you consider the fact that...Spurs were on the brink of losing,1-2 to Leicester in the FA.[only a few days earlier]it kind of makes sense that Leicester are a stronger side.(and that is why...they won!)And the tiny fact about Leicester being above Spurs,in the table...is no coincidence.The three wins,one draw and one loss [WWWDL]represents a form of a top four team,in the premiership.Can they maintain that status,and put behind them their latest loss? Sunderland [LLLWW]have improved their form with a back to back win but, it still leaves them ...in a relegation spot.Crucially their form ...represents a team in the bottom half of ...a "middle ten"(out of relegation places).Can they maintain the momentum? ⚽️SCORE: 2-0 __________________😎 __________________✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ ⚽️TEAMS BOURNEMOUTH VS NORWICH ⚽️ODDS: BOURNEMOUTH 17/20 Draw 5/2 NORWICH 100/30 ⚽️LAST (PREM)HEAD2 HEAD: 3-1(Norwich v Bournemouth) ⚽️LAST PREM.GAME: 1-3(Bournemouth v West Ham) 3-1(Stoke v Norwich) ⚽️NEXT PREM GAME: Sunderland v Bournemouth Norwich v Liverpool ⚽️Form going into this match Bournemouth LLWDLWLDLLLLDDWWWDLDL Norwich LWDLWDDLLLLWLDLDWLWWL ⚽️Table position Comparison 16th&21pts 15th&23pts ⚽️Goals scored:conceded ratio -14 -11 ⚽️Percentage [HOME TEAM] 23.8Win% 28.37Draw% 47.61Loss% ⚽️Percentage [AWAY TEAM] 28.57Win% 23.8Draw% 47.61Loss% ⚽️BETTER-Manager: Bournemouth ⚽️BETTER-Luck Run: Norwich ⚽️BETTER-Players: Bournemouth ⚽️BETTER-Motivation: Bournemouth ⚽️MY GUESS HOME-win%: 40 ⚽️MY GUESS DRAW%: 30 ⚽️MY GUESS AWAY-win%: 30 ⚽️COMMENT/NEWS Looking at the last five games of Bournemouth [WDLDL];we can say,it represents a team in the bottom five.And it is a shame ...because it looked like they were kick starting a revival[a few games earlier]With three wins,on the roll... the whole premiership teams were beginning to sit up,and notice Bournemouth.Ironically,if they find themselves exactly in this position...after the 38th game,they would be rejoicing. (WLWWL)for Norwich represents...a remarkable turn around. At one point...in the season they lost four games in a row??It seems to me that,this season,we would see a lot of teams...adopting high forms,as well as low ones.Norwich's form represents a top five team[even if ...it is more of a 4th or 5th,than 1st,2nd or 3rd] ⚽️SCORE: 2-1 __________________😎 __________________✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ ⚽️TEAMS CHELSEA VS EVERTON ⚽️ODDS: CHELSEA 7/10 Draw 14/5 EVERTON 19/5 ⚽️LAST (PREM)HEAD2 HEAD: 3-1(Everton v Chelsea) ⚽️LAST PREM.GAME: 2-2(Chelsea v west brom) 0-0(Man city v Everton) ⚽️NEXT PREM GAME: Arsenal v Chelsea Everton v Swansea ⚽️Form going into this match Chelsea DLWLLWDLWLLLWDLLWDDWD Everton DWLDWDWDLLWDWDDDLWLDD ⚽️Table position Comparison 14th&24pts 11th&28pts ⚽Goals scored:conceded ratio -3 +7 ⚽️Percentage [HOME TEAM] 28.57Win% 28.57Draw% 42.85Loss% ⚽️Percentage [AWAY TEAM] 28.57Win% 47.61Draw% 23.8Loss% ⚽️BETTER-Manager: Chelsea ⚽️BETTER-Luck Run: Chelsea ⚽️BETTER-Players: Chelsea ⚽️BETTER-Motivation: Chelsea ⚽️MY GUESS HOME-win%: 33.3 ⚽️MY GUESS DRAW%: 33.3 ⚽️MY GUESS AWAY-win%: 33.3 ⚽️COMMENT/NEWS It was a rude awakening...experience [I believe]for Chelsea.Most of those players still think,they can simply turn the tap...and the water would start flowing ...again.A hard earned draw 2-2 against west brom,on Wednesday suggests,this team has really not improved in performance from the one that visited west brom.If one..wants to be harsh;you could say they are even worse.They beat west brom away but failed ..to match that result on a more favourable ground! So who..is questioning Jose's assessment right now?WDDWD is a form of a team ...in the "second five"group.It is not entirely bad.However Chelsea are used ...to leading the pack.And,if they venture to clash horns with PSG in this form,they would surely be exiting the CL for this season.Everton have [LWLDD]. It does not take a genius to know that,it is not a good form,for a club like Everton[one win ,in five matches]If their ...earlier encounter with,Chelsea is anything to go by ... this match is likely to end in a stalemate.[considering also,everything I said...earlier] ⚽️SCORE: 0-0 __________________😎 __________________✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ ⚽️TEAMS MAN CITY VS C.PALACE ⚽️ODDS: MAN CITY 4/11 Draw 19/5 C.PALACE 15/2 ⚽️LAST (PREM)HEAD2 HEAD: 0-1(Crystal palace v man city) ⚽️LAST PREM.GAME: 0-0(Man city v Everton) 1-0(Aston Villa v C.Palace) ⚽️NEXT PREM GAME: West Ham v man city C.Palace v Tottenham ⚽️Form going into this match Man city WWWWWLLWWDWDLWLWLWDWD C.PALACE WLWWLLWWLLDWLWDWWDDLL ⚽️Table position Comparison 3rd&40pts 8th&31pts ⚽️Goals scored:conceded ratio +18 +3 ⚽️Percentage [HOME TEAM] 57.14Win% 19.04Draw% 23.8Loss% ⚽️Percentage [AWAY TEAM] 42.85Win% 19.04Draw% 38.09Loss% ⚽️BETTER-Manager: Man city ⚽️BETTER-Luck Run: Man city ⚽️BETTER-Players: Man city ⚽️BETTER-Motivation: Even ⚽️MY GUESS HOME-win%: 40 ⚽️MY GUESS DRAW%: 30 ⚽️MY GUESS AWAY-win%: 30 ⚽️COMMENT/NEWS LWDWD...How have the mighty fallen?Pellegrinni's job may be safe for now but,his team are surely not playing like Champions.If I was ..Man city,I would rather have Bony and iheanacho ahead of Sergio.And,bring him on from the bench..until he is razor sharp.They are scoring a lot of goals in some matches ,and none [or too little]in others.Two wins in five is the mark of a team between 6th and 10th[inclusive]And yet they are third, with 40pts.[Thanks to a very good start] C.palace would still pose a serious threat to man city in this game. A few weeks ago..Crystal palace would have been seen as more than a serious threat.A back to back loss,has seen Pardew's team lose form(WDDLL);which is a form a team in the bottom five deserves.One would like to see..them,lifted to a more deserving form[one that reflects where they are ...in the table] ⚽️SCORE: 1-0 __________________😎 __________________✅✅✅✅✅✅ ⚽️TEAMS NEWCASTLE VS WEST HAM ⚽️ODDS: NEWCASTLE 7/5 Draw 23/10 WEST HAM 19/10 ⚽️LAST (PREM)HEAD2 HEAD: 2-0(West Ham vs Newcastle) ⚽️LAST PREM.GAME: 3-3(Newcastle v Man united) 1-3(Bournemouth v West Ham) ⚽️NEXT PREM GAME: Watford v Newcastle West Ham v Man city ⚽️Form going into this match Newcastle DLDLLLDLWLDWLLWWDLLLD WEST HAM WLLWWWDDWWLDLDDDDDWWW ⚽️Table position Comparison 19th&18pts 5th&35pts ⚽️Goals scored:conceded ratio -16 +9 ⚽️Percentage [HOME TEAM] 19.04Win% 28.57Draw% 52.38Loss% ⚽️Percentage [AWAY TEAM] 42.85Win% 38.09Draw% 19.04Loss% ⚽️BETTER-Manager: West Ham ⚽️BETTER-Luck Run: West Ham ⚽️BETTER-Players: West Ham ⚽️BETTER-Motivation: Even ⚽️MY GUESS HOME-win%: 30 ⚽️MY GUESS DRAW%: 30 ⚽️MY GUESS AWAY-win%: 40 ⚽️COMMENT/NEWS DLLLD ...is becoming of a team,at the bottom of the bottom five. This is how bad,their form is,at the moment.The purchase of Shelvey and the exhilarating 3-3 performance against man united can gloss over this fact.But,sooner rather than later,their true plight would be obvious.They are ..going to be in the thick of the relegation battle.A player like Shelvey...can only turn a couple of potential losses into draws.This would not be enough,to save them.West ham are back...to their winning form again.Interestingly, they never dropped too far below their standard.They went through a period of six draws,and a loss.It is the mark of a strong team.And through all of it,they have managed to maintain the fourth lowest percentage loss amongst all the teams in the premiership .[Behind Leicester,Arsenal and Spurs] A ,[DDWWW]...Form, matches their table position:you cannot say that of ...a lot of teams. ⚽️SCORE: 0-1 __________________😎 __________________✅✅✅✅✅ ⚽️TEAMS SOUTHAMPTON VS WEST BROM ⚽️ODDS: SOUTHAMPTON 4/6 Draw 11/4 WEST BROM 17/4 ⚽️LAST (PREM)HEAD2 HEAD: 0-0(West brom vs Southampton ) ⚽️LAST PREM.GAME: 2-0(Southampton v Watford) 2-2(Chelsea v West brom) ⚽️NEXT PREM GAME: Man united v Southampton West brom v Aston Villa ⚽️Form going into this match Southampton DLDWDLWWDDWWLLDLLWLLW WEST Brom LDLWDWLLWWLLWDDDLLWWD ⚽️Table position Comparison 12th&27pts 13th&27pts ⚽️Goals scored:conceded ratio +4 -5 ⚽️Percentage [HOME TEAM] 33.33Win% 28.57Draw% 38.09Loss% ⚽️Percentage [AWAY TEAM] 33.33Win% 28.57Draw% 38.09Loss% ⚽️BETTER-Manager: Southampton ⚽️BETTER-Luck Run: West brom ⚽️BETTER-Players: Even ⚽️BETTER-Motivation: Even ⚽️MY GUESS HOME-win%: 33.3 ⚽️MY GUESS DRAW%: 33.3 ⚽️MY GUESS AWAY-win%: 33.3 ⚽️COMMENT/NEWS (LWLLW)Southampton have shown a lot of inconsistency this season.And looking at their present form,you would see how, true it is...Fortunately,their incompetence is not of the worst kind. They are mixing ...losses with a lot of wins in their games.If draws and losses featured more ...in their result stats,then I would be very worried for them.Still,Koeman would be concerned...about the losses. I am sure he knows,his team is capable of better results and form. With west brom,Tony has shown again that his successful pragmatic approach ...is right for this team.A[LLWWD]form shows ..a team that is not enjoying a rosy period yet,but is,doing enough to keep itself out of trouble.13th is a few places...away from the enviable top 10,so West brom can be quietly confident.The form is indicative of a team ...in the bottom half of "my middle ten".There is room for improvement;yes. Nevertheless,I think they are moving in the right direction. ⚽️SCORE: 1-1 __________________😎 __________________✅✅✅✅ ⚽️TEAMS ASTON VILLA vs LEICESTER ⚽️ODDS: ASTON VILLA 5/2 Draw 12/5 LEICESTER 11/10 ⚽️LAST (PREM)HEAD2 HEAD: 3-2(Leicester vs Aston villa) ⚽️LAST PREM.GAME: 1-0(Aston Villa v Crystal palace) 0-1(Tottenham v Leicester) ⚽️NEXT PREM GAME: West brom v Aston Villa Leicester v Stoke City ⚽️Form going into this match Aston Villa WLLDLLLLLLLDLLDLDDLLW Leicester WWDDWDLWDWWWWDWWWLDDW ⚽️Table position Comparison 20th&11pts 2nd&43pts ⚽️Goals scored:conceded ratio -20 +13 ⚽️Percentage [HOME TEAM] 9.52Win% 23.8Draw% 66.66Loss% ⚽️Percentage [AWAY TEAM] 57.14Win% 33.33Draw% 9.52Loss% ⚽️BETTER-Manager: Leicester ⚽️BETTER-Luck Run: Leicester ⚽️BETTER-Players: Leicester ⚽️BETTER-Motivation: Even ⚽️MY GUESS HOME-win%: 20 ⚽️MY GUESS DRAW%: 30 ⚽️MY GUESS AWAY-win%: 50 ⚽️COMMENT/NEWS Second win of the season,haha.Maybe...they would now go on an unbeaten run for the next three or four games.Nah, I doubt it.Leicester today,west brom next and West Ham after that...nah.Most teams ...would shiver with this kind of line up.If they manage to improve their form[DDLLW]then who ...knows?At the moment,it is ..probably the worst form. A few ...weeks ago,we were talking about a Leicester form that was miles ahead of the rest.Now,[WLDDW]reflects a middle team.It is a slow down ...in the pace,that was set earlier.It is however not surprising to a lot of us.Leicester had a December & early January fixture that would cripple any other team.We eagerly..waited for the games to roll by,so we could tell whether Raneri's team was the real deal.Playing Chelsea,Liverpool,man city,Everton,Spurs and Bournemouth ..left them with 11 points. [W3,2D,1L]50%win 33.3%draw,16.7%loss.Both win% and draw% are higher or larger than the loss.Not bad, considering..who they played!After this...it would be a shame, if they do not finish in the top three places,at the end. ⚽️SCORE: 0-3 __________________😎 __________________✅✅✅ ⚽️TEAMS LIVERPOOL VS MAN UNITED ⚽️ODDS: LIVERPOOL 7/5 Draw 23/10 MAN UNITED 19/10 ⚽️LAST (PREM)HEAD2 HEAD: 3-1(man united vs Liverpool) ⚽️LAST PREM.GAME: 3-3(Liverpool v Arsenal) 3-3(Newcastle v Man united) ⚽️NEXT PREM GAME: Norwich v Liverpool Man United v Southampton ⚽️Form going into this match Liverpool WWDLLDWDDDWLWWLDLWWLD MAN UNITED WWDLWWWLWDDWWDDLLLDWD ⚽️Table position Comparison 9th&31pts 6th&34pts ⚽️Goals scored:conceded ratio -2 +7 ⚽️Percentage [HOME TEAM] 38.09Win% 33.33Draw% 28.57Loss% ⚽️Percentage [AWAY TEAM] 42.85Win% 33.33Draw% 23.8Loss% ⚽️BETTER-Manager: Man Utd ⚽️BETTER-Luck Run: Man united ⚽️BETTER-Players: Man united ⚽️BETTER-Motivation: Liverpool ⚽️MY GUESS HOME-win%: 50 ⚽️MY GUESS DRAW%: 30 ⚽️MY GUESS AWAY-win%: 20 ⚽️COMMENT/NEWS A[LWWLD]form is not a wildly good or bad form.If you add, the draw before that loss,then Liverpool would be in 12th on the form table.It is not what the owners ...were wishing for Christmas but,it is baby steps.I watched their performance against League leaders:Arsenal.It was pulsating to say the least. Many a Manchester fan..would have salivated at the prospect of a Manchester performance like that...Well,different team, different manager and different club goals.Liverpool exhausted themselves..in the beginning stages of that game,and gave away some stupid goals.I think,the tactics would have worked otherwise.By the way,what was Benitez doing in ..the stadium? A job role ...upstairs?Man United have defensive issues.Big time. Ashley Young playing ...defence?My God...After man United had gone 2-0 up,I thought that was the end of Newcastle.Chris smalling was too slow to react.And he is the best amongst the rest! Man united need...a solid,solid defender.Otherwise,all this talk about style and...winning,is a waste of energy. ⚽️SCORE: 3-1 __________________😎 __________________✅✅ ⚽️TEAMS STOKE VS ARSENAL ⚽️ODDS: STOKE 16/5 Draw 5/2 ARSENAL 17/20 ⚽️LAST (PREM)HEAD2 HEAD: 2-0(Arsenal vs Stoke) ⚽️LAST PREM.GAME: 3-1(Stoke v Norwich) 3-3(Liverpool v Arsenal) ⚽️NEXT PREM GAME: Leicester v Stoke Arsenal v Chelsea ⚽️Form going into this match Stoke LDDLLDWWWLDWWLWDLWWLW ARSENAL LWDWWLWWWWWDLDWWWLWWD ⚽️Table position Comparison 7th&32pts 1st&43pts ⚽️Goals scored:conceded ratio +2 16 ⚽️Percentage [HOME TEAM] 42.85Win% 23.8Draw% 33.33Loss% ⚽️Percentage [AWAY TEAM] 61.9Win% 19.04Draw% 14.28Loss% ⚽️BETTER-Manager: Arsenal ⚽️BETTER-Luck Run: Arsenal ⚽️BETTER-Players: Arsenal ⚽️BETTER-Motivation: Arsenal ⚽️MY GUESS HOME-win%: 30 ⚽️MY GUESS DRAW%: 30 ⚽️MY GUESS AWAY-win%: 40 ⚽️COMMENT/NEWS Right now,LWWLW is an enviable form.If someone told Mark after the first six games this season that he would have a 42.85% win rate ,he would have smiled jokingly.It is fantastic.And 7th in the table is ...not the highest position they can achieve.The form they are in,right now..is worthy of a top four place.As a matter of fact,if you add the previous game before the last five ...[I selected]stoke would be a place higher in the form table.And then,add the one before that ...and,bingo,Stoke would be third in the form table,behind Arsenal and Leicester.West ham would be..in fourth simply on a lower "Goals for count".So to summarise...if we count seven games instead of six...Stoke would be third on the form table.wow!Well done.Ofcourse it could go pear shaped,if they lose to Arsenal. Arsenal, despite the last minute...goal conceding against Liverpool are still the team to beat.The 3-3 draw put a skid mark on their match to a long overdue Premiership title.I have one advice...for Mr Wenger.And we all know ...how hard it is ...to do nothing in situations like the one I am about to talk about...When you are minutes or seconds away from,a crucial win...And the score is separated by a goal ;keep the players you have got on the pitch[and motivate them]When you make a substitution [fresh legs;usually a defender for an attacking one]You interfere with the well oiled machine keeping...you ahead.Of course,the thinking behind it is..."more legs,in the defence...more effective defending "(haha,no way!)What you get is "more legs,less effort from everyone". ⚽️SCORE: 1-2 __________________😎 __________________✅ ⚽️TEAMS SWANSEA VS WATFORD ⚽️ODDS: SWANSEA 6/4 Draw 11/5 WATFORD 19/10 ⚽️LAST (PREM)HEAD2 HEAD: 1-0(Watford vs Swansea) ⚽️LAST PREM.GAME: 2-4(Swansea v Sunderland) 2-0(Southampton v Watford) ⚽️NEXT PREM GAME: Everton v Swansea Watford v Newcastle ⚽️Form going into this match Swansea DWDWLDLDLWLLDLLLDWDLL WATFORD DDDLWWLDLWWLLWWWWDLLL ⚽️Table position Comparison 17th&19pts 10th&29pts ⚽️Goals scored:conceded ratio -11 +1 ⚽️Percentage [HOME TEAM] 19.04Win% 33.33Draw% 47.61Loss% ⚽️Percentage [AWAY TEAM] 38.09Win% 23.8Draw% 38.09Loss% ⚽️BETTER-Manager: Watford ⚽️BETTER-Luck Run: Swansea ⚽️BETTER-Players: Even ⚽️BETTER-Motivation: Watford ⚽️MY GUESS HOME-win%: 33.3 ⚽️MY GUESS DRAW%: 33.3 ⚽️MY GUESS AWAY-win%: 33.3 ⚽️COMMENT/NEWS Swansea are free falling.I am worried for them.DWDLL is not good at all.A six game-form measure leaves Swansea at the bottom of the form table;just above Aston Villa.So,again...not good enough.After,a reasonable start to the season;seeing Swansea in this state is painful for all their admirers.Experts would point to Bournemouth,Aston villa,Sunderland,Norwich and Newcastle...as prime relegation candidates.Swansea are making a strong case ...to be included. I will break pattern here,and ..take the last 8 games of Watford. Four wins in a row,and then the mayhem.It has been...an extraordinary switch in form.4wins,and then nearly..4 loses.Well,what is next..? This game is important to them.Despite ...the talent of Flores,and the core of his team:losing another match could be a game changer. [in the wrong direction] ⚽️SCORE: 1-2 __________________😎
