Swansea vs Everton: Who will win?

We begin the day in Wales, where Swansea is hosting Everton, hoping that they continue the good form. But Roberto Martinez has the same ambition for his team also, showing that they are not a team that is supposed to fight against relegation with their last 3 games ending with 3 points for them. The only weak link in their team is Gareth Barry, the veteran who has the know-how but lacks the physical power and ability.

Gomis, the replacement for Wilfried Bony, proved that he has what it takes to play at top level, especially having a mastermind like Shelvey behind him ready to provide him with the killer pass.

Anyway, this is maybe the only game this weekend with the least amount of pressure on both teams, having in mind that every other team is either fighting to avoid relegation or to win the title.

Everton has on paper more individual quality in this match, but we will see if they use that strength to enforce their game.

Red is the colour today!

Liverpool will face Manchester United this afternoon on Enfield Road, hoping that they will repeat similar result as it was on Old Trafford.

 

Brendan Rodgers has Lucas Leiva back in the squad, although on that position there is no shortage of great players. Worth mentioning is the return of the captain Steven Gerrard whose experience should be essential in making the difference between winners and losers.

On their last match, United defence was terrible, so their only chance today is improving their cooperation in the defence. They need to close down the space between lines if they wanna keep Coutinho and Sterling harmless.

Having in consideration that the crowd in Liverpool is one of the best in the world, I am pretty sure that they will make the difference.

It's the passion after all..

Second game in a row on Goodison Park for Everton. The first one was successful against Dynamo Kiev and it was booster for great ambient in Everton. Newcastle manager is not confident at all, after attending the game from the Europa League, stating that he is impressed with the atmosphere he saw. And it is not only that, he has many injured players and banned top scorer Papisse Cisse.

On the other hand, Roberto Martinez is looking forward to see Leon Osman back on the pitch as a leader and the most experienced Everton player. With that kind of confidence, like Everton has ahead this game, you can win games even if you are the weaker team.

This should be a walk in the park for Everton.

Gunners or Hammers? Arsen or big Sam?

Big clash today we have. It is another London derby, ladies and gentleman. Arsen Wenger is on a course to secure a win in the Premier League with some tactical moves, and that is not going to be an easy task for him. Next Tuesday he is visiting Monaco in the Champions League, a decisive game that will determine if England will remain with a representative in the strongest competition on Earth. 

Let's see who is favorite for today. Well obviously Arsenal, because they have beaten Manchester United on Old Trafford and because they've beaten West Ham on every single one of their last five games. 

Now let's see who can counter that statement, and by who I mean which West Ham player is capable of producing magic in the next game. First of all, there is Alex Song, former Arsenal player, with huge potential ahead of the game. He could be motivated to destroy the people that didn't liked him in the past (Arsen Wenger), or he could become totally useless if the pressure comes on his back only. 

Another player who can help Song is Valencia. Then there is Downing, Nolan, Noble, Kouyate and many others. After all, it all depends how much Arsenal is going to let them play. If I were on Wenger's place, I would give Ramsey a little bit more defensive role in the midfield alongside Coquelin, and just let Sanchez and Welbeck do their thing.
