FRIDAY: HULL V CHELSEA Hull are flying in the Championship with the Tigers currently sitting inside the play offs and six points outside the automatic promotion places after being widely tipped to go down at the start of the season. Chelsea boss Liam Roesnior used to manage Hull and he returns to the KCOM for the first time since he was sacked nearly two years ago despite finishing 7th that very season. He's made a strong start to life as Chelsea boss and he'll no doubt be lo

Many players right across the world have lit up the game of football over the years including the ones from North America, Asia and the Caribbean which is what this top 10 is about. A lot of players from those continents have been scouted by European clubs because they give them the chance to develop as players, something they probably weren't given the chance to if they stayed in their own country. They arrive in Europe relatively unknown as they're arriving from a country w

There have been many played who have had a deadly right foot in the Premier League over the years with the majority of them being among the greatest players to have ever played in the Premier League. The majority of players in general are right footed like most people are right handed and I even found out recently that about 90% of people are right footed/handed. I mentioned earlier that most of the greatest Premier League players are right footed and you'll see that when I r

TUESDAY: CHELSEA V LEEDS Chelsea have made a 100% start under Liam Rosenior in the Premier League and he deserves a lot of credit for the start he's made. He had his doubters when he first got the job because of Chelsea being a massive club and his lack of experience as a manager, but he's quietly silencing his doubters. It was good to see Cole Palmer back among the goals against Wolves over the weekend with his hat trick and if he can stay fit and in form, he'll hopefully pu

Is Victor Gyokeres finally delivering for Arsenal? Viktor Gyokeres has had a tough debut season at Arsenal as he hasn't quite delivered the goals that many people thought he would given that he was brought in to be that 20+ goals a season striker Arsenal were crying out for. He's barely been in games due to a lack of service and him maybe still adjusting to the pace and physicality of the Premier League alongside the way Arsenal want to play. But after scoring 7 goals in his

GK: DAVID RAYA (ARSENAL) - Raya kept 3 clean sheets during January and made a number of important saves as Arsenal kept up their title challenge. The Gunners did drop off slightly during the month and if it wasn't for Raya, they might've lost top spot. RB: NORDI MUKIELE (SUNDERLAND) - Mukiele has been one of Sunderland's standout performers this season and especially during January. He put in a good shift at both ends of the pitch in making key interventions defensively and o

FRIDAY: LEEDS V NOTTINGHAM FOREST This relegation six-pointer is a must win for both teams as a win for either of them will give them plenty of breathing space between themselves and West Ham. Leeds were taught a lesson by Arsenal last weekend which can happen to any team but I did think they would make it a tougher game than it was. The momentum is more with Forest coming into this game as they're on a four game unbeaten run which included two wins and a draw each with both

Derbies are the games every fan looks forward to when the fixtures come out before the start of every season and when they come round, there is an almighty buzz in the city it's taking place in. There have been many great derbies in football over the years right across Europe and they're great because of the rivalry between the two teams and the quality of games they produce. They're games that both fans and players are massively up for and want to win because of the importan

It was transfer deadline day yesterday so I've decided to make this week's Premier League top 10 about deadline day moments. Transfer deadline day is one of the busiest days in football because a number of clubs are trying to get deals done before the window slams shut. Many players have moved clubs on deadline day including the players who have been linked with a move throughout the entire window. As well as deals getting done, many other things have happened on deadline day

Is Fabian Hurzeler under pressure? Brighton's 1-1 draw with Everton was followed by a roar of boos from the home supporters at full time following yet another draw. They've picked up more draws than any other team this season with 10 and have won just 1 of their last 11 league games. A number of their fans are not happy with Fabian Hurzeler in charge and because of this and the form they're in; is Hurzeler under pressure? One of the reasons why the fans aren't satisfied with

SATURDAY: BRIGHTON V EVERTON Brighton are one of those teams who create a lot of chances and play on the front foot but aren't always clinical in front of goal. They've picked up the joint most draws this season along with Sunderland and Bournemouth with 9 and they've certainly be higher up the table had they turned their draws into wins. Everton haven't been fantastic on the road this season but they do come into this game off the back of winning their last two away games ag

Unsung Heroes are the players who always put in a good shift and play an important role for their team but don't always get the credit they deserved. The game of football has seen many of them over the years and especially during the modern era. Every successful team of course has the superstars who carry the team and get all the plaudits, but they also have the players who go under the radar and quietly go about their business. It's because they quietly go about their busine

There have been many controversial moments in the Premier League over the years involving both players and managers whether they've lost their cool or have done something absolutely crazy. The majority of controversial moments in the Premier League have involved players because they're the ones who go out there to perform on the pitch and the most likely to lose their cool or let their emotions get the better of them. Any player or manager can lose their cool during a game of

Could Spurs be in a relegation battle? Spurs' poor run of form extended to one win in eight games over the weekend following their draw at Burnley which leaves them in 14th place and eight points above the relegation zone. Could they be in a relegation battle? The reason why I'm asking this season question is because they have some tough games coming up with Man City, Man United, Newcastle and Arsenal in their next four games. Three of those games are at home and knowing how

SATURDAY: WEST HAM V SUNDERLAND West Ham picked up a much needed win against Spurs last weekend which was their best performance in a long time. Nuno will want his side to repeat that performance on a more consistent basis so they can get themselves out of the relegation zone and up the table. They definitely need to start repeating it at home because their home form this season season has been poor and very poor. Sunderland blew the Hammers away on the opening day of the sea

There aren't that many players who stay at one club their entire career and especially more recently because players want to seek new adventures elsewhere due to the ambitions they might have. But throughout the modern era as a whole, we've seen many players who who remain loyal to one club and stay there their entire career . They stay at that one club because they either feel comfortable with their surroundings or they have a love for the club they're at and feel there is n

There are many reasons why we love the Premier League. The entertainment, the quality on show, the games, the brilliant goals and also the surprise packages. Surprise packages in terms of football are teams that do a lot better than pretty much everyone expects them to and the Premier League has seen many of them over the years. The majority of them have been tipped to either be relegated or finish quite low down the table at the start of a season only for them to finish a lo

Has Glasner managed his last game at Crystal Palace? Oliver Glasner announced that he is leaving Crystal Palace at the end of the season during the week when his contract expires. But after what he said in his post-match interview following his side's 2-1 defeat at Sunderland, he might be leaving soon than he planned after he criticized the club hierarchy like Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim did recently. Has he managed his last game at Crystal Palace? He said in his post-match

SATURDAY: MAN UNITED V MAN CITY Man United appointed Michael Carrick during the week and will have him in charge for the first time of his second spell in this game. The appointment is a decent one as Carrick is someone who knows the club and its values and will hopefully give them an identity in how they play. Something they haven't had in a long time. But he couldn't have had a tougher start to his second spell as his side face Arsenal after this one against City. Man City

Taking a penalty is one of the hardest jobs in football because the taker is under the spotlight and is under a lot of pressure to put the ball in the back of the net. To be a good penalty taker, you need to be calm and composed under pressure, a good striker of the ball and have a good idea of where you want to the ball to go. A lot of players have boiled under the pressure over the years because they haven't had the composure or the confidence to take a penalty. But there h
