GWT: EPL - Matchweek 20

[bluesfan94]

Happy New Years everyone! This festive fixture matchweek spans the holiday, kicking off with Luton hosting Chelsea in a relegation dog fight. Elsewhere, we see a couple London derbies, with Palace hosting the Bees in what may be a match for Roy Hodgson to keep his position, and Fulham welcoming Arsenal to the Craven Cottage. Once 2024 kicks in, we have a couple fun fixtures, as Liverpool attempt to retain top spot when they welcome Newcastle to the west coast and West Ham hosts Brighton in a battle of European sides.

This is the last MW for players leaving for international tournaments. LFC lose Salah to AFCON and Endo to Asia after this fixture for several MWs afterwards.

Newcastle badly need to right the ship here, and I think that this could look A LOT like the Utd 0-0 game; Newcastle would be thrilled with a 0-0 draw just like Utd was.

January is always a weird month, and this is about when City start to kick into gear. Buckle up folks

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Think Spurs will struggle again.

Think Spurs will struggle again.

Bournemouth is probably the worst team to face right now. have won 6 out of the last 7, clearly the form team in the league. Solanke is banging in the goals as well

PALMER!

MADUEKE! Beautiful one by him.

 

[Peen]

Feel like the goalie should have saved that

 

[Blender]

I still haven't figured out how they calculate stoppage time yet. 5 minutes seems low for this one, and then other games there's like 8 minutes for no reason.

I hope they take Jackson off. I'm so tired of his act.

On the bright side he doesn't go offside when playing out wide.

It's definitely unpredictable. There used to be one thing you could be sure of, and that was that they'd add more time at game end than before half. Now even that's not true.

PALMER AGAIN!

 

[Jack Straw]

That was pretty nifty

 

[Blender]

I think we'll be saved by offside here because that defending was terrible.

 

[Blender]

Massive save by Petrovic. Chelsea looks switched off.

 

[Jack Straw]

Wow

 

[Blender]

...and the collapse is on, 3-2 now.

 

[hatterson]

Chelsea seem to be doing absolutely everything they can to bottle this game.

 

[Blender]

Thiago Silva has been shit this season, guy looks cooked.

 

[Ben Grimm]

Happy New Years everyone! This festive fixture matchweek spans the holiday, kicking off with Luton hosting Chelsea in a relegation dog fight. ...

The Blues are in 10th place.

 

[Blender]

Putting the 20 year old Gilchrist on to try and rescue this one.

 

[Ben Grimm]

I was watching the Rangers assuming we'd win.

 

[hatterson]

Putting the 20 year old Gilchrist on to try and rescue this one.

lol and he did at the end.

 

[Savant]

De Bruyne on the bench today.

Looks like the season is about to start
