I quite like a bit of Liam Rosenior but everyone on da socials loves da bantz.
Get yourself primed for Everton v Bournemouth!
Preamble
This feels like a significant night. The Liam Rosenior revolution continues apace at Chelsea, where he has four wins in as many league games. A victory tonight and Manchester United slipping up at West Ham would put the Blues into the top four. Leeds gave Nottingham Forest a good pummelling and will think they can ruffle some feathers at Stamford Bridge, especially having defeated Chelsea at Elland Road a few months ago.
Eddie Howe admitted on Monday he would be willing to quit as Newcastle head coach if he thought he was the problem. Something is going wrong with the Magpies, sitting 12th in the Premier League and putting in mediocre performances most weeks. Speaking of under pressure coaches, Newcastle are in Tottenham tonight, where Thomas Frank is desperately waiting for a turnaround in form. Seeing off Newcastle would be a useful start because if Spurs do lose and Leeds get a point tonight, the North Londoners will drop down to 16th.
Furthermore, Everton are playing Bournemouth.
7.30pm GMT kick-offs:
Chelsea in Leeds
Everton v Bournemouth
Tottenham v Newcastle
And there’s more beyond that too.
