*International Break between Matchday 11 & 12*
First off we got the match of the round. The North London Derby. Arsenal vs Tottenham. Spurs could go up to 2nd depending on Man Uniteds result. Arsenal need a win to stay near the top 4. I think the Spurs train will keep chugging along here.
Bournemouth had an upset win over Newcastle but I don't think they can get another win against Huddersfield. Not really been impressed with Bournemouth this season.
Burnley on the other hand currently have the 4th best defence in the league only letting in 9 goals in 11 matches. They should get past Swansea easily who have the equal 2nd worst goal scoring record.
Everton had a spectacular comeback win over Watford the other day but I feel Palace could snatch a point here after a pretty decent performance in their loss to Spurs.
Leicester would be disappointed drawing with Stoke after a Peter Crouch header but they do seem on the right track under Puel. Unfortunately for them they face the best team in the league by far in Man City. This could get ugly.
Liverpool seem to be back to winning ways after a change in formation and 3 wins on the trot. Mane, Coutinho, Lallana and Henderson all could be back so they should handle Soton who have not been very good this season.
Chelsea haven't been overly terrific this season but their win over Man United via a Morata header should be a big confidence booster. West Brom won't get anything out of this game I feel. An interesting side story though is what happens with David Luiz who was left out of the squad completely last game.
Newcastle after a good start to their season have only won 1 of their last 6 games. For Man United, players like Lukaku and Mkhitaryan would love to get out of a bit of a slump and show some strong form here. Newcastle under Rafa are a very defensive side so will we see Mou go out and attack them?
West Ham have sacked Bilic after their 4-1 loss to Liverpool. Will we see the Moyesiah take over before the int break ends? Watford would be spewing after choking away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 including missing a 100th minute pen. Will the Hammers start this new era on the right foot?
Stoke have grabbed a few points unexpectedly in the last few weeks and I think they have a chance to get another against Brighton who beat Swansea 1-0.
My Picks:
Arsenal vs Tottenham 1-2
Bournemouth vs Huddersfield 0-1
Burnley vs Swansea 2-0
Palace vs Everton 1-1
Leicester vs Man City 1-4
Liverpool vs Soton 3-1
West Brom vs Chelsea 0-2
Man United vs Newcastle 1-0
Watford vs West Ham 2-2
Brighton vs Stoke 1-1
