Well it’s been two weeks since the last games but I think I can knock up a quick analysis.

Neither of these teams are going to win the league but it’s a top of the table clash between mentor and mentee. Mentor seems unable to buy a good defense and goalkeeper. Mentee inherited a bad defense. Mentor has seen performances dip. Mentee has seen performances improve. Conclusion: Mentor wins.

Will the Villains really start with 4 wins? No they won’t. Vardy rescues a lackluster team having taken a week off.

An early scare for The Reds Devils as Newcastle jump on a dubious and nervy Manchester United. Bruno will score two stupid jump-bounce penalties in the last 10 minutes to make AM and JE feel better.

What a clash of giants. One team will not have full five game losing record. It won’t be Fulham. It won’t be Sheffield. It might be both.

Chelsea are a decent team and have a manager who doesn’t settle for poor performances. Expect changes and an improvement in performances.

Usually I would pick this as a 1-0 to the home team with 1 red card. This year is different as I think both teams are capable of banging in the goals. Bit more effort on the part of Everton sees them victorious (as does a dubious penalty).

Palace are significantly better this year. Brighton are significantly better this year. Palace’s better is better than Brighton’s better.
