It could get very messy, Pep
THE bookies are dangling juicy prices for the teams currently first and second in the table. Leicester are 11-4 to win at Liverpool. It’s tempting.
Anfield is a fortress but this could be the moment when inju injuries and the virus finally catch up w with Jurgen Klopp’s patchedup up, weary squad. The Foxes will s sit back and counter-attack just l like they did at the Etihad. But we’d much rather take t the 16-5 for Tottenham to win a at home. That’s right, a Jose M Mourinho side playing on their ow own turf can be backed at more than 3/1. OK, so they’re playing Manchester City, but the 2020 version of Pep’s Guardiola side is clearly not the force of old.
Pep may have signed a new twoyear deal this week – and it could spark a move for Messi – but the signs are that City are in decline.
With Kane and Son working brilliantly in tandem, we’ ll take Spurs to seal the deal tonight.
Talking of great signings, Hakim Ziyech has got more magic in his left foot than Harry Potter.
He’s 8/1 with Hills to score outside the box for Chelsea at Newcastle today.
