Premier League

In the past few days, the situation involving Diego Costa and his supposed row with Antonio Conte seems to have overboiled. Not all you read was true, and Costa may yet stay.

Liverpool's trip to the red side of Manchester comes at a pivotal moment in their season. They're without a win in their last 3 games in all competitions, and are bereft of Sadio Mane's services.

Chelsea's last 3 games, for an outsider looking in, doesn't seem like a big deal. But, for the standards that the club have set, conceding 5 goals in 3 matches should represent grave concern for Conte.

Spurs put in a composed and determined performance to finally end Chelsea's run of 13 consecutive wins. Dele Alli stole the show with two headed goals; can Spurs really go the distance?

Tottenham Hotspur won what was by the end a comfortable game against the high-flying Saints, leading Mike to suggest that the Spurs of old may yet be back. This top 4 race is certainly one for the ages.

Mesut Ozil has taken on the lion's share of criticism, it's fair to say, since Arsenal's miserable defeat at Manchester City. The Gunners, however, shouldn't have the German bear all the blame.

Spurs continued their struggles in getting a result against the top 6 of the Premier League, the only exception being their Man City victory. The latest to beat them is a previously struggling Man United.

In the age of over-complicating things, an attempt at less-complication seems to be in the works. Having a consistent centre-forward is still needed to win the league.
