United trudged out of the Europa League in predictably turgid fashion against Liverpool on Thursday night and are sleep walking to the end of the season when surely a big bold, brave and SPECIAL decision must be made as to who takes the club forward from the dugout.I’m loathed to go for a City clean sheet with their Vincent Kompany-less defense holding a shocking statistical record over the course of this season but the Marcus Rashford hoop-la has already waned and Kinglsey Coman showed on Wednesday night that the Red Devil’s don’t have the most exciting teenage Frenchman in Anthony Martial. City to win 2-0 for me but please for the love of god let this match be a better spectacle than the rancid ninety minutes this two served up in the reverse fixture in October.
Leicester got the job done against Newcastle in workmanlike fashion on Monday but there were clear signs that the pressure has now been ratcheted up a notch or two and you can be certain they are going to drop points somewhere along the line before May. Palace did the double over the current league leaders last season and it is not fanciful to suggest they can come away with at least a point here.
There is a good chance though they could lose their last 8 games and still be safe and it’s hard not imagine that isn’t somewhere in the back of the player’s minds. They are unbeaten in four and have won three on the trot but will find this weekend’s outing their toughest assignment for a long while. Spurs defense has wobbled lately with just home clean sheets in their last six EPL home games but Bournemouth’s brand of football suits the way Spurs play to a tee as proven by the 5-1 away win in the reverse fixture.
