LSTD's League GW20

Leicester 2-0 Portsmouth

Walkover?

Costa x2
(Ronaldo, Sane)

MOTM – Costa


Villa vs City

Home advantage and for me a stronger side across the pitch was key here, think Fan has done a good job at City and their front 6 is looking tasty now, think the midfield 3 would certainly hold their own defensively but may not have enough penetration going forwards, all in all a hard fought home win for the Villa

Villa 2-1 City

Benzema (KDB) Robben (KDB)

Icardi (Yaya)

MOTM – KDB


Spurs vs Hull

two other improving sides, I like what Welshy is doing and I think his midfield pivot is quality, Milik is a good front man and will carry a goal threat, Fud has done well to keep building on his team and I very much like his wingers, never a huge fan of Lukaku but he keeps banging them in and again today he proves a real match winner.

Spurs 1-0 Hull
Lukaku (Mahrez)
MOTM – Kante

Birmingham vs Chelsea

interesting match-up this, we have Blues with their Trump inspired wall vs Chelsea who seem to keep heading towards the title. I think for the most part Blues plan would work in stifling Chelsea BUT it just invites more and more pressure onto them, I think their front 3 gives them a decent threat though so it wouldn’t be all Chelsea – with Goretzka dropping to essentially to a 4th CB the Chels just couldn’t break through and home advantage gave Blues a share of the spoils…..Lahm’s late <redcard> didn’t help but certainly won’t leave Fan best pleased

Blues 0-0 Chelsea



MOTM – Vertonghen

Man Utd vs Liverpool

A historical derby where United take on their oldest and dearest rivals, Leffy is doing a decent enough repo job on them since Lubo disgracefully asset stripped them, I like the front 4 and I think Giroud is unfairly criticised by many. LSTD’s side I like very much he’s becoming a proper Conte-acolyte and Jorginho is truly one of my favourite centre-mids. Think all in all Liverpool are just too strong for united

Man Utd 1-2 Liverpool
Giroud (Candreva)
PEA (Griezmann) Griezmann (Marcelo)

MOTM – Jorginho

Newcastle vs Wolves

I like this Newcastle side a lot, Tranq’s gone a bit Bobby Robson by calling Lloris Buffon……Suarez for me is probably the best striker in the world right now and backed up by that trident even though I don’t rate Ozil, he’s gonna be deadly…..I like what Marky’s tried to do here and he’s probably got enough in there to hold the centre ground of the pitch and give his side a platform….Mata is back to some good form and carries the weight of the team, not sure on Lacazette though.

Newcastle 2-1 Wolves
Suarez (sane) Firmino (Radja)
Lacazette (Mata)

MOTM – Radja

Arsenal 1 - 0 Stoke

Cavani (Hamsik) 37
MOTM - Hamsik

Stoke held there own for the majority of this game but the quality of Arsenal up front they were always going to score
