Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has never been one to shy away from tactical scrutiny, often acknowledging the noise surrounding his team selections. Following the stalemate at the London Stadium, the spotlight has fallen firmly on his handling of Rayan Cherki, whose impact as a substitute stood in stark contrast to the starters' output.
Former Arsenal star and current pundit Paul Merson has delivered a blunt assessment of the challenges facing Arne Slot at Liverpool. While the former Feyenoord boss hit the ground running in the Premier League, Merson believes that the grace period afforded to him will be remarkably short if silverware does not follow. Merson suggested that without trophies, Slot risks being viewed in the same light as managers who have struggled to make a lasting impact at Tottenham Hotspur.
Chelsea legend John Terry was left in awe of Max Dowman’s impactful cameo against Everton at the Emirates Stadium. With Mikel Arteta’s side locked in a tense battle, the 16-year-old was introduced with just 16 minutes remaining and immediately changed the complexion of the game. He provided the spark for Viktor Gyokeres’ 89th-minute opener before scoring a stunning solo goal in stoppage time.
Manchester City’s pursuit of another Premier League crown took a devastating hit on Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham United. Despite dominating possession, the Blues failed to secure the three points needed to keep pace with a relentless Arsenal side who sit comfortably at the summit.
Tottenham Hotspur interim boss Igor Tudor has stood by his brutal 17th-minute substitution of Antonin Kinsky during a chaotic defeat to Atletico Madrid. Despite facing intense scrutiny for ignoring the tearful goalkeeper as he left the pitch, Tudor remains adamant that his touchline reaction was a deliberate strategy to prevent a bad situation from spiraling out of control.
What's the cheapest way to watch as much Premier League football a season?
Currently, the most cost efficient package looks to be picking up a TV deal through Virgin Media or EE TV.
Existing TV or broadband customers can add TNT Sports to Virgin Media for £12 per month and Sky Sports for £31.75 per month, adding on Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
EE TV (formerly BT TV) also provide their Big Sport deal which includes TNT Sports and Sky Sports via NOW TV, for £45 per month, which is available for existing broadband customers, with the addition of Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
However, when it comes to bang for your buck, if you’re wanting to spend a little less, then the Complete Sky Sports package from an additional £22 per month on top of your current Sky TV deal is the best option, giving you over 128 games across a single season.
