Preamble
Alexander Isak’s late penalty final night time means there’s a little bit of mustard on Spurs’ journey to Southampton. With no Champions League to give attention to, the fabled ‘fourth place trophy’ is all Antonio Conte can obtain in his previous few months at Tottenham the previous couple of months of the season.
In my head Spurs have a very good document at St Mary’s, however the details say in any other case. The 5-2 thrashing initially of the 2020/21 season was the one time of their final 5 conferences on the south coast that Spurs left victorius, with Saints successful two and a pair of 1-1 attracts finishing the set.
Elsewhere, intrigue comes on the Gtech (is {that a} factor?), the place Brentford can leap again into the European spots in the event that they beat Leicester. Wolves and Leeds are break up by 5 groups however simply 4 factors in what’s shaping up because the widest relegation battle ever. Whereas Aston Villa, arguably the one actually mid-table staff within the Premier League at the moment, shall be trying to place a stiff arm on a Bournemouth aspect for whom mid-March mediocrity is an aspiration. Eager for a three-bed semi within the suburbs with a driveaway and a pleasant automobile to place in it, if you’ll.

Guiding you gently by way of Everton’s go to to Chelsea within the 5.30pm kick-off shall be Daniel Gallan, whereas Scott Murray is readily available for minute-by-minute updates from the primary FA Cup quarter-final of the weekend, which sees Manchester Metropolis welcome again Vincent Kompany and his Burnley aspect.
