To get this fixture-filled Premier League weekend started, Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal take on Hull, a game that will be vital for the future of Arsene Wenger because if they lose then it would be Arsenal’s third loss in a row and some fans may turn against their manager.
Soon after Arsenal’s game against Hull, Sunderland play Southampton. Sunderland are definitely on an upbeat after their passionate and disciplined 4-0 win over Palace and they could once again escape being relegated, but if they do stay up then they should be beating Southampton who have found it reasonably hard in the league after Ronald Koeman has left the club.
The last game on Saturday is probably the biggest game of the day as Liverpool take on Spurs. Liverpool have dropped in the league after their electric start to the season. However, a win at Anfield would make them climb up the table. Spurs, unlike Liverpool, had a mediocre start to the season but have gone further up in the table and they’re now in second position.
The last game of the weekend is Leicester vs. Swansea. Both clubs are in a relegation battle so both teams must treat this game as a must-win. At the start of the season, no one expected Leicester to be in this position but awful form has put them in a relegation scrap.
I apologise for there being no podcast this week, we decided due to illness not to do it but we’ll return next Wednesday for another podcast.
