November 11th 2024.
It's been a wild weekend in the Premier League, and there are so many intriguing questions that have emerged. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until after the third international break of the season to get any answers. It's frustrating for fans who would rather watch club matches than international ones, and this will continue until the World Cup in 2026. But let's be real, it would take a lot of incompetence for England to not qualify for the expanded finals in New Jersey.
But let's focus on the present. The big discussions this week won't revolve around England's Nations League match against Greece, but rather the state of the Premier League. Is Manchester City's hold on the title starting to slip after their loss to Brighton? Can Liverpool solidify their lead at the top of the table? And have Arsenal bounced back from their recent dip in form after their draw with Chelsea?
There's also a lot of talk about Tottenham's recent defeat at home to Ipswich. It seems like they have a knack for helping their opponents get their first league win of the season, as they did with Crystal Palace and now the Tractor Boys. It's almost like a curse, as they've lost their last match before each international break this season. Their manager, Ange Postecoglou, must be relieved that there won't be any more disruptions until February.
Meanwhile, Manchester City have lost four consecutive matches for the first time under Pep Guardiola's reign. Liverpool, on the other hand, are five points clear of City and nine points ahead of the rest of the field. With Chelsea, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton all tied on points, it's anyone's game. But it would be foolish to count Liverpool out, with their deep and experienced squad and a manager, Arne Slot, who has adapted to English football seamlessly.
In terms of odds, Liverpool are the favorites to win the championship at 13/10, followed by Manchester City at 9/4. Arsenal are at 4/1 and Chelsea at 18/1. It's worth noting that Liverpool are the only team to have prevented City from winning the title in the last seven seasons, and it looks like they may do it again.
In other news, Jannik Sinner, the world's number one tennis player, continued his impressive record this year with a win over Alex de Minaur at the ATP Finals. He will now face Taylor Fritz, whom he defeated in the US Open final in September. Sinner is expected to win in straight sets, and the best bet is for under 20.5 total games.
Lastly, in the world of darts, Michael van Gerwen is the favorite to win the Grand Slam of Darts with odds of 8/1. This comes after defending champion Luke Humphries was knocked out of the tournament with two straight defeats in the group stages.
In other news, former England and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard is rumored to be making a shock return to management, Jaap Stam gives advice to fellow Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy on his future at Manchester United, and Britain's youngest racing driver has big dreams of competing in Formula 1 before he can even read and write.
