Saturday 3rd October
Chelsea 12:30 Crystal Palace
The definition of one way traffic, with Crystal Palace unable to register a single shot on target.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard introduced both summer signings Chilwell and Mendy for there first home start of the season but whereas Mendy had little to do, Ben Chilwell was involved in almost every piece of the action on the field. Scoring at the back post in the 50th minute before turning provider with a wonderful cross in the 66th minute to set up Kurt Zouma, two quick succession penalties neatly taken eventually by Jourginho, and the game was wrapped up.
Crystal Palace were playing well and defending stoutly for the first 50min but when the first goal went in the flood gates opened. Looking forward it's hard to see how Zaha will score goals if the service he receives doesn't improve.
Prediction 2-0. Result 4-0
Everton 15:00 Brighton
Everton are top of the table with 4 out of 4 wins, and now have a swagger and air of invincibility that comes with it, My only concern for Everton is at the back especially with Pickford the keeper. Pickfords decision making has left some pundits questioning his ability, I don't see it this way, he's a young lad who still has a lot to develop and I believe he will regain his mojo and prove his doubters wrong.
Brighton I have to say have had a rough start to the Prem when you look at there fixtures and from there first two games against Chelsea and ManU I think they deserved to get something out of it, but in this one, they were clearly beaten.
Newcastle are off to a good start this term whereas Burnley can't buy a win at the moment.
Pope will learn from this game and get stronger I'm sure, He really did have a bad day at the office making schoolboy errors, but the damage was already done as Burnley struggled to find an answer for the pace and skill of Newcastle's Saint-Maximin, Couple that with the lethal form of 20mil signing Wilson who now has 4 goals in 4 and the writing really was on the wall.
Football is a strange game! West Brom, 3-0 up against Chelsea last week, and this week they are well beaten by a team that has struggled to find the back of the net.
In fairness I wasn't to excited about this game, Southampton got the job done and fair play to them.
West Brom will have to get their act together if they want to compete at this level of competition for another season.
Not the best performance from Arsenal, but you can't argue with 4wins from 4 games.
Sheffield at times looked like they could get a point out of this fixture and maybe if new signing Brewster had been available to play they might have.
In the end, Arsenal deserved the win but will have to play with more conviction if they are to beat City nest match
If you´re looking for the highlights of this game, it will be a very short video. Neto´s goal was really the one stand out moment.
Fulham have now lost all 4 games to start the season and unless something divine happens I can't see where their first point is going to come from.
Wolves have a lot of rebuilding to do this season after cashing in on a few players, but I feel they are in safe hands and will come on strong as the season progresses.
Well, I don't know where to start? Don't think anyone in the world predicted this result.
United got off to an amazing start with a penalty in the first 30seconds, then it was just one mistake after another and Tottenham were celebrating Christmas early.
It feels like going through every goal would take me longer to write than the game itself.
Hats off to Jose´s men, they deserved the win especially after playing 5 games in 11 days everyone must now start to consider them as title contenders.
United's back 4 are once again under scrutiny, but I stand by my comment I made in my last blog, that the Midfield has to sort itself out, decide who is going to track back and who is going to attack.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "It's very embarrassing, it hurt all the players. It hurts me as the manager. It's my worst day ever.
"I'll hold my hands up, I'm responsible for this. I've lost 5-0 with United and we've lost 6-1. We've lost big results before and always bounced back.
"I promise we'll do everything we can to turn this around. We know how good they can be but today all our mistakes came almost like Christmas everything at once and if you make too many mistakes against a good team and you'll be punished."
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho: "To win 6-1 against Manchester United at Old Trafford is an honor for all of us, considering the dimension of Manchester United and Old Trafford.
"The pleasure is not the 6-1, the pleasure is the performance and three points which we really need after losing points at home against Newcastle.
"The target, the objective is every match we go to win. I told the players in the last couple of days 1000 times a good result at Old Trafford is to win.
"Of course if you draw it's not a bad result but that's the kind of mentality we must get. It was a great performance, a great result. We have seven points, so our position in the table is so-so."
