Okay, before you suffer a muscle injury from lasting too long, it’s time to give Niall McVeigh the floor.
Some news from West Brom v Crystal Palace for you.
Through the AP . . .
West Brom defender Conor Townsend is out of Sunday’s Premier League as he faces up to six weeks on the sidelines.
The side led to a 1-0 win last weekend over compatriot Sheffield Home due to a knee injury and the injury was not as serious as feared, it is expected to be offside for 4 to six weeks.

Man Utd and Giroud in the last. And why not go any further and listen to the nuggets about Liverpool’s new goalkeeper feeling. Apparently, Caoimhin is Irish to Kevin (thanks to Barry Glendenning) and he is a central midfielder (thanks to John Brewin), so he is smart with his feet.
Oh, and Jonathan Wilson’s maradona thing is something else.
Everton had its most productive start to the season in more than a hundred years, coming out of the blocks with 4 consecutive victories, however, it is only a victory in their last six games and the Toffees are in eighth place. Here, Opta’s support is one of the reasons why:
As for Burnley’s opponents, how about a Sean Dyche . . .
There is less talk of Everton’s defensive disorders, but equally real. Carlo Ancelotti does not have the two first-choice sides for the Burnley, so it is very likely that he will persist in his 3-4-3 formation. Coleman has a hamr tendon injury, while Lucas Digne may be out for up to 3 months because of an ankle problem.
Midfielders Tom Davies and Alex Iwobi acted as sides in the loss to Leeds, but Ancelotti is ahead to regain his 4-3-3 favourite.
“I think it’s an emergency because we have two vital players, Coleman and Digne. It’s just for that reason,” Ancelotti said.
“We have the quality in the team to play with 3 power plants as well because we have a lot of smart power plants, but I think it’s a time. “
“Playing 3 or 4 is smart for us. “
Sergio Aguero will be reported as missing for Manchester City this weekend when he faces Fulham.
The striker has missed the last two games after suffering a knee injury. He’s back in education, but the City risks it. Maybe a home game in front of Fulham is a component of it.
Once again, Fulham won in Leicester last week. This is Scott Parker, his performance of Mike Skinner.
Raúl Jiménez scored the Wolves’ third goal in the league last season. How will Nuno Espírito Santo face his absence? Ben McAleer for WhoScored asks this query as the Wolves prepare for Sunday at LiverpoolArray.

David Moyes’ hopes of putting one on his old team were tarnished by this team news confirming what West Ham enthusiasts feared.
From AP:
Michail Antonio has been out of West Ham’s home game against Manchester United.
The striker returned from a hamr tendon injury in front of Aston Villa last Monday that lasted forty-five minutes.
Chief David Moyes said: “Micky’s out by tomorrow, we don’t know how long he’ll be gone.
“He still has a little challenge with the hamstrings. It’s not the same injury, we think it’s different. “
Back in 1987 for this sports blog from the 1980s. Take off the Spurs fans.
From Theothecat reader . . .
”It’s wonderful to see Ian Wallace’s photo in the ‘iconic’ brown kit, however, it’s worth noting two other recent/current Coventry kits. Last season they had a replacement kit that is a Two Tone trio that is fantastic, and they just released a Kit to celebrate that Coventry will be the City of Culture in 2021. They’re both very elegant.
More facts about Ole Gunnar Solskjor. Old Trafford technician talked about Edinson Cavani’s effect on his Manchester United team.
“Last season we were the youngest team in the Premier League and looked for tactics for the team with young or experienced skill and with the signings of Bruno [Fernandes], Donny [van de Beek] and Alex [Telles] and Edinson, the team’s balance has been d.
“With Edinson and his positioning, he’s another kind of centre forward, it means we can play differently and with his delight in world football he came here and showed other young people how to live your life and make your life. last race. “
Forget 1976, present-day Manchester United is going to London – London Stadium to be exact – to face David Moyes’ West Ham this weekend. Moyes probably has some old subbuteo stuff in his loft, I guess. In short, here’s Ole Gunnar Solskjor. The Norwegian hopes Marcus Rashford can succeed on one shoulder after forcing him to leave the field in United’s 3–1 loss to PSG mid-week.
“Marcus trained this morning, completely, but joined the group,” United’s technician said.
“Obviously his shoulder prevented him from completing the match, so he was treated and will be part of the traveling team.
“He’s in treatment now after training. “
A mention of Subbuteo can’t happen without me directing you to one of the most productive Guardian galleries ever made. Mick laughed at the last one below.
Speaking of numbers, it’s time to see what Nigel Adkins has on his advent calendar today. As I do this and open mine, here’s your most productive collection so far. It’s a compromised subbuteo collection!
Jurgen Klopp has done his homework on the five-submarine rule. A sharp number here. . .
“Intellectual fitness and player well-being is the fundamental thing, we will avoid fighting for it because it is the right thing to do.
“I have had Scottish league numbers; 65% of the substitutions were for cargo handling, 30% for tactical reasons and 5% for reasons.
“When other people tell me we’re not making enough changes, that’s the challenge with 3 submarines, because the 3rd submarine, two submarines, you have to stay because there are so many players on edge. You don’t know who’s coming down first.
“So you can’t make any changes early, otherwise you can finish the game with nine or ten players and the Premier League is too strong for that. These [five submarines] are the right thing to do. “
Klopp says he has ramifications for England’s boss, Gareth Southgate.
“Next summer will be a challenge for Gareth Southgate because most of the players you must choose will have played 3 times a week all the time.
“Then Gareth will get what we can give him and if we keep 3 submarines, then he has the problem. So it’s an FA problem, in my opinion. “
Some Liverpool v Wolves Opta stats to allow you to continue until sunday night’s start. . .
Beyond the hopes that Naby Keita and Trent Alexander-Arnold can become opposed to the Wolves, Jurgen Klopp has given a definitive answer to the other Liverpool stars.
“Apart from Naby and Trent, no one comes back, no. “
However, he presented an update on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has not yet played this season due to a knee injury sustained at pre-season camp in Austria.
“Ox looks promising, he does a lot of things. Now it’s warming up with the team, a little work, a lot of things, but we’re going to expand that now in the next few days. “
“Then we’ll see when it makes sense to throw it away. It’s not too far away. “
Jose Mourinho at Arsenal. You would have guessed it was 14.
“Everyone knows what Arsenal has done recently, how they beat Chelsea and (Manchester) City to win the FA Cup.
“The way they played in Liverpool despite the defeat, the way they beat United at Old Trafford, the way they play against the most productive teams.
“The number of players they use in the defensive process, the way they continue for quick counterattacks and immediate transitions. I don’t think you want to (warn the players of complacency).
“But I probably will, but I don’t think we want it. We all know that a derby has nothing to do with form, momentum, injuries, suspensions. It has nothing to do with it. It’s just Tottenham instead of Arsenal. “
Champagne will have to be smartArray. .
This St. Pauli kit, uh, as some of you have pointed out, remembers Coventry’s 1970s brown band. Try not to get distracted by Ian Wallace’s barnet.
Jose Mourinho has never been afraid to express an opinion and this time tottenham’s team-up has been higher by the number of Premier League matches that have yet to be postponed. the rest of the department after this weekend, with 4 other clubs betting only 10.
Mourinho revealed that he sought to know if the matches would take place before mid-season “because he can competition” even without success.
“I think it is also very difficult to settle for 4 clubs having one less game than the others and I don’t even know when those games are going to play, which in all [other] countries would be impossible,” he said. . .
“They have to be played at least until the end of the first circular [of the games], so until the 19th they play one’s games. And I don’t even know when Burnley, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Manchester United and probably Newcastle and Aston Villa twice.
“It’s hard to settle for that because it can compete. But I was looking to locate him. I was looking for an answer this week and no one can give me that answer. By the way, we played four games in a week and no one was crying or leaning on it. And now my colleagues, when do you play those games?”
Thank you very much Tumaini, a lot of grumpy Klopp right now, something in contrast to the same super positive Old Klopp belief as you noticed here at Spitting Image. . .
