The Final Sub

LIVERPOOL UNDERLINE TITLE STATUS, MANCITY TEARING AWAY AT THE TOP, LEICESTER GIVING RESPONSE, ARSENAL GET ACT TOGETHER, WESTHAM FLOUNDERING. The Premier league action returned this weekend after the commencement of the Uefa Champions League in mid week. We were treated to plenty of action as always as Liverpool travelled down to London to halt Chelsea’s unbeaten start to the season, while Mancity added Bournemouth’s scalp to their growing list of casualties this term and  Leicester came back with a commanding win over Burnley at home.

Manchester United’s boss Jose Mourinho has already lamented at the disruption it might have caused especially as his side went in with an 100% start to the new campaign. We too are glad to see its return especially with the titanic clashes in the offing  this weekend. The much anticipated 'classico' of English football, talking of the Mancunian derby is upon us. More intriguingly , we shall see another cold tactical battle between Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. It promises much. Chelsea on Sunday would be hoping to capitalize on any slip ups when they visit the Liberty Stadium. Antonio Conte’s men also hold a 100% record start to the season and would be out to continue.
