West Ham - Leicester
I would be a fan of Premier League starting on friday, if it were good games playing. Instead, we are given the thrilling game between West Ham and Leicester. As it's the first game of this game week, I will do a preview of it, as some might want to take advantage of it. West Ham recently hired Moyes, who since Everton has proven absolutely nothing. He might be just as lost as West Ham at the moment. West Ham simply has to win soon, and Leicester might be one of the worst team to play when you're forced to attack. Leicester counter attack is deadly and West Ham has to be extremely careful. Careful is simply not what a manager that has to win can be, and therefore I predict a Leicester win. Leicester will win this due to Vardy, Mahrez and Morgan and Maguire will keep Carroll calm as the only way he can score is with his head, and that's just another day at the office for the Leicester defense to defend against players like him. Moyes got off to the worst start possible, and it will get worse.
Missing and doubtful players: Byram, Chicarito, Fonte, Ayew, Collins, Antonio, Arnautovic (West Ham) and James, Huth, Silva (Leicester)
Tottenham - West Bromwich Albion
Tottenham luckily suffered a loss to Arsenal, but bounced back quickly against a poor Dortmund. Now Tottenham has the chance to bounce back in the Premier League. W.B.A has lost the last four games, and I don't expect nothing but that extends to a five-game streak without a single point. Not only have they lost the last four games, but they didn't manage to win the last 10 as well. It's a team standing in a big pile of shit, and Tottenham is looking forward to adding a bit more shit to that pile. I expect a 2, or 3-0 for Tottenham. I don't think Kane, Eriksen and Alli are the only ones to have on your team, as they are all very expensive. Son is looking really good and can be bought for only 7,9, compared to the other players who at least cost 9m £. I personally bought Son. Tottenham has also proven to be a great defense, but recently without Alderweireld, it seems like they are having a problem. Still, it's against W.B.A and I still expect them to keep a clean sheet. I think they will play Trippier and Davies, who can be great players to have, as they are extremely offensive. Expect a dominant Tottenham team to take advantage of the poor confidence at W.B.A.
Missing and doubtful players: Wanyama, Alderweireld, Lamela (Spurs) and Morrison, Dawson, Chadli (W.B.A)
Liverpool - Chelsea
Match of the week. Even though Liverpools defense is probably the worst amongst the top 6 teams, they still have managed to only concede one goal at Anfield. Impressive. Also, it's important to notice that ever since Kanté got back from his injury, Chelsea has kept three clean sheets in three matches. Impressive. Therefore I predict this match to be under 2,5 goals. Both teams will probably be okay with a draw. If not a draw I predict a Chelsea win. Liverpool dropped a 0-3 lead against Sevilla until their manager announced that he had cancer, which fired them up. That loss of confidence might have an impact on their performance against Chelsea, as they probably will play almost the same lineup. With the same lineup and the last match for both teams taking into consideration, I would expect a 0-0 or 1-1. Players to have on your team, of course, include Salah, Mané, Morata, and Hazard. Especially Hazard. Hazard was substituted off against Qarabaq, and should be more than ready to open up the Liverpool defense. If you don't have any players from the teams, I would not suggest you buy any just for this match.
Missing and doubtful players: Bogdan, Clyne, Lallana, Matip (Liverpool) and Moses, Batshuayi (Chelsea)
