We are in for another thriller again this week with another huge game. Arsenal disappointed with a defeat against Stoke. Will they be able to recover against Liverpool. Manchester United seems to be on fire, and looks unstoppable. Will they win by four goals again? Ladies and Gentlemen. We have another matchweek of beautiful soccer for you!
I have selected three matches. Two of them are matches with value, and the last one is of course a short preview of Liverpool - Arsenal.
Tottenham - Burnley
Last time Burnley went to London it went down pretty crazy. I don't think that will repeat itself. Even with two red cards, Chelsea managed to create chances, which shows the true strength of Burnley. Even though I am a believer that Tottenham will suffer on Wembley, I don't think this match will be a problem. Eriksen (9.5m£), Alli (9.5m£) and Kane (12.5m£) are the players to have. The problem is that they are expensive. Kane will the man to have for me. Burnley is likely to back off and be extremely compact. Eriksen likes to take advantages of teams that have a higher defensive line, therefore Kane will do the damage against Burnley. Kane is great man vs man, in the air, and he somehow always seems to be in the right spot.
Manchester United - Leicester
Leicester is having a rough start. Two top 6 clubs within the first two weeks. Being extremely close to secure a draw and almost a win, they will not be close to anything against United. What we witnessed in this season first game at Old Trafford was complete domination. It's easy with United. Lukaku (11.6m£) is the man to have. Another player who have impressed so far is Mata (7.0m£) and if given the start he would be a good man to have on your team. Other than those I will promote Mkhitaryan and Pogba. Both looked extremely good Old Trafford against West Ham and against Swansea, and I believe they will shine once again. Will we see another 4-0?
Liverpool - Arsenal
Once again we are given an amazing match this matchweek. Liverpool - Arsenal. I find it very hard to predict this match, as Liverpool hasn't played great and the same can be said about Arsenal. Arsenal might have a slight advantage as Liverpool has a midweek game. If given the chance Alexande-Arnold is still cheap at 4.5m£, while Mane seems to be on fire, with the current price of 9.5m £. From Arsenal it's hard to predict where the points will come from. To be honest I don't see any value in Arsenal players for this match. The only one might be Ramsey at 7m £. Koscielny is back for Arsenal which might the perfect timing. They are in desperate need of their captain, and with his come back they will play their back-three like they want to. Mustafi, Koscielny and Monreal/Kolasniac. But will it be enough? I doubt it.
