RELENTLESS!!!! That is the best way to describe Liverpool’s charge towards a first Premier League title in 30+ years this season.
A pattern of coming back late to win games has been established by the Reds this season. Their never-say-die attitude has seen them take 3 points from matches where they have been outplayed for large parts by the opposition; Manchester City, Leicester City, Aston Villa, Sheffield United to name a few.
The arrival of Jose Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur seems to have shaken off the slow decay of the last days of Mauricio Pochettino.
The team is still conceding lots of goals as the Special One tries to decide his best side/formation but at least, they are winning games now.
The circus at Arsenal continues to rumble on as cries of #EmeryOut continue to ring around the Emirates with the Gunners some way short of the top 4 teams currently.
Some managerial sackings are expected to happen sooner than later with the likes of Marco Silva (Everton), Ralph Hassenhuttal (Southampton), Manuel Pellegrini (West Ham) and Unai Emery (Arsenal) looking anxiously over their shoulders (get the best Premier League sacking outright odds here).
