Bologna v Inter – Tuesday 27 October Inter go into this following a 1-1 draw away at Palermo, which made it their fourth consecutive match without a win. Roberto Mancini told Premium Sport: “We were too direct, struggled in attack and suffered in defence.” The lack of goals from Icardi was also mentioned, and will be a morale blow for the player personally. The striker was joint league top scorer last season. Mancini stated: “We will keep working to find the right system, but in the meantime it’s important to […]

Swansea v Aston Villa – Saturday 24 October Arguably the most important fixture of the weekend, with both managers under considerable pressure. Garry Monk and Swansea have been on a winless run of six games, since beating Man Utd on August 30th, whilst Tim Sherwood’s Villa side are on just four points from nine games. Sherwood is undoubtedly in the more perilous position of the two, especially with Spurs and Man City next up after Swansea. In an act of desperation the Aston Villa Supporters’ Trust issued a statement to […]

They are marginal favourites for this match with the Spiffindex at 2.54, but Klopp has barely had time to meet his new charges […]

Man Utd v Wolfsburg – Wednesday 30th September Man Utd are flourishing right now; top of the Premier League, Wayne Rooney looks to be getting back to his best, the England man is forming a promising relationship with Martial, and Depay has hit 4 goals since his arrival too. The goal in the 3-0 victory over Sunderland will do wonders for Rooney’s own confidence; the striker had previously gone 999 minutes goalless in the Premiership. Juan Mata has warned his teammates that they’ll need to be at their best to […]
