Premier League Round Up

So what have we learned over the weekend as far as the Premier League is concerned?

Well quite a lot if we are being truthful.

Chelsea were made to look very ordinary once more against a hard working Everton team. There seems to be a number of problems at Chelsea at present, we can expect the turn around to be slow. The defence looks shaky, the midfield is lacking the creativity needed to make chances for the strikers. We can argue that if Chelsea start the Champions League campaign off slowly Mourinho could be on his way?

Everton on the other hand lack strength in depth, but if they can stay injury free they have an outside chance of claiming a European spot come May. As a betting proposition we need to keep on the right side of them.

Manchester City won away at Crystal Palace by one goal to nil. Not many teams will claim the three points at Selhurst Park this year and it proves that they can grind out a win when needs must.

Manchester United got the better of Liverpool by the scoreline of 3-1. United still look like a team of individuals rather than a 'group'. However with the quality they have they will have enough to turn over most teams in the Premier League. If they start to gel they could become serious contenders to Manchester City for the title.

Elsewehere Norwich claimed the three points against Bournemouth. I fear for the Cherries who are going to struggle this term. A few other teams who look to be struggling at present are Aston Villa, West Brom & Sunderland.

Villa let a two goal lead slip against Leicester. Villa's defence is a worry especially with the open football they play. We should be looking to back against Villa when they play away from home.

The Baggies are struggling to score goals. They played out a bore draw at the Hawthorns against Southampton. In their previous match they struggled to break down a Stoke side who played the majority of the game with nine men.

Sunderland once again lost at home against a disjointed Spurs team although there were glimmers that they may be turning the corner?

We now look forward to this weekends Premier League games, but before that the big boys will be in action in the Champions League.



Have a great day.
