Morning, all. Oh Liverpool. “And at sea with flowing hair I’d think of Dublin Of Grafton Street and Derby Square,” as Phil Lynott once had it, though all that forgot Atalanta, a rather good team in recent years. Have Liverpool lost it? Who has found it? Perhaps more will be revealed this weekend, and elsewhere too in the Premier League as much is at stake.
Newcastle v Spurs: Eddie Howe seeks to salvage the season while this week’s Euro flops mean Spurs really really need to land fourth.
Brentford v Sheffield United: Thomas Frank’s team really need to start winning soon or else Blades might get out of this mess.
Burnley v Brighton: Big Vin’s team are in trouble, Brighton are on a salvage job, too.
Manchester City v Luton: David Pleat’s moccasins will be mentioned. Will Rod Edwards wear a tan suit? The title and relegation both at stake.
Nottingham Forest v Wolves: Forest continue to be desperate for a win. What a job Gary O’Neil is doing by the way. Just don’t mention the VAR.
Bournemouth v Manchester United: How many shots will the Cherries get on Andre Onana’s goal?
Liverpool v Crystal Palace: The flags will be back at Anfield but will the defending and shooting boots? Palace, still on only 30 points, are not out of danger.
West Ham v Fulham: Perhaps the weekend’s least stakes game, though how will David Moyes be greeted by Hammers fans?
Arsenal v Aston Villa: The Premier League leaders against a team whose need for fourth has increased for coefficient reasons.
Chelsea v Everton: Two more points down for Sean Dyche’s team. What can Cole Palmer do to them?
