Preamble
It’s bitter out, and the lunchtime fun has been cancelled.
There’s always Leeds against Derby. But that’s not our specific wheelhouse here. There’s red-hot Premier League action. Thankfully, if windy, it’s not too bad in London, and the champions are in town, and with Liverpool not playing, can lick their wounds. Yes, Crystal Palace v Manchester City takes centre stage, and then Brentford v Newcastle sees Eddie Howe’s team taking on the team with the best home record in the Premier League. And Aston Villa v Southampton sees Villa, on that bad recent run, against Russell Martin’s bottom-of-the-table evangelists.
There will also be news from the EFL and across Europe, too. Join me.
