Premier Predictions (Week 07)

Another 4 day week starting on Friday.
One game Friday, 3 on Saturday, 4 on Sunday and 2 more on Monday.
Saturday games look the best with Sheffield and Burnley winless at home to Man City and Chelsea who both play in Europe either side of this.
Hopefully Antonio will be fit for the Hammers against Liverpool.
Man U v Arsenal was a big game 10 years ago now it's a bottom half game, and the other 2 winless teams play each other on Monday.

Wolves v Crystal Palace
Sheff Utd v Man City
Burnley v Chelsea
Liverpool v West Ham
Aston Villa v Southampton
Newcastle v Everton
Man Utd v Arsenal
Tottenham v Brighton
Fulham v West Brom
Leeds v Leicester

Good Luck All  😀

Unrelated good news, Southend managed to pay their latest tax bill so are saved until the next bill. Currently the strongest team in the EFL holding the other 91 teams up 😢

Also good to see European football this week with fans in the stadiums (I remember those days).

Premier Predictions (Week 06)

Week 6 and the games are spread over 4 days.
Kicks off with 100% Villa against Leeds, 4 games on Saturday, 3 on Sunday and the last 2 on Monday.

Man Utd v Chelsea is totally unpredictable as you have no idea what either team does from one week to the next.

Can West ham produce a huge shock or at least stop City hitting 4 or 5 like normal?

last 5 home meetings - West Ham 1 Man City 22

Aston Villa v Leeds
West Ham v Man City
Fulham v Crystal Palace
Man Utd v Chelsea
Liverpool v Sheff Utd
Southampton v Everton
Wolves v Newcastle
Arsenal v Leicester

Summer Transfers 2020 Complete

The transfer windows have finally shut so here's where the Premier league cash was splashed during the summer break.
Info based on the best sources I could find (no sensationalist newspaper figures), includes squad and youth players .
Several Undisclosed figures which I've counted as Free transfers until I hear different.
A lot less players this summer than last year, and also only 2 over £50m but overall a similar amount of cash splashed as a lot of pretty average players were going for over £20m.
Brighton seem to be following the Chelsea and Man City scheme of buying in lots of youth players and loaning them out, but for a lot less outlay.
