Weekend Football Thread.
Bit worried about our trip to West Ham, to be completely honest. They've been playing very well this season, and we were so dreadful after half-time in Moscow. Not convinced we're really at it this year, we're playing a bit like we did the season after we won our first title. Might have to lose it again to get the hunger back, imho.
Our saving grace might be Chelsea's tough game on Sunday. Really think United might do them. Let's be honest, there's no real pressure on the home side, weird for such a historically high-profile fixture. Chelsea will be without Costa, or with Costa on one leg. United have form in these sort of games, admittedly under Ferguson. If di Maria really fancies it United are well capable of giving them an ego check, but of course a lot will depend on their back four/five/three/six.
West Ham 2 City 1
Liverpool 2 Hull 1
Southampton 3 Stoke 0
Sunderland 0 Arsenal 4
West Brom 2 Palace 1
Swansea 4 Leicester 3
Burnley 1 Everton 1
Spurs 3 Newcastle 1
Man United 2 Chelsea 0
Games of note elsewhere include Hibs v Hearts, the first Clasico of the season, Milan v Fiorentina, Moenchengladbach v Bayern, and Braga v Benfica.
