By Editor , 25th February 2021 at 8:27 PM (11v11 blog)
The Premier League top four is as open as it’s been for some time.

Of course, in online gambling terms, Manchester City are dead certs. In fact, you’d be hard pushed to say they’ll finish anywhere but first…

Still, the English Football League Championship is also incredibly competitive, and the race for the playoffs symbolises this better than anything else.

Is there more to Tottenham than Harry Kane?

By Editor , 09th February 2021 at 1:45 PM (11v11 blog)
Harry Kane is probably England’s greatest forward of his generation. But it’s Tottenham who are starting to rely on their star attacker more than ever before. Nowhere was this better seen that when Kane fired Spurs to victory over West Bromwich Albion last weekend. Tottenham had previously been on a three-match losing run which was the worst-ever experienced by manager Jose Mourinho. Tottenham’s dramatic dip in form was all the more startling due to the fact that the North London…

By Editor , 09th February 2021 at 1:43 PM (11v11 blog)
All fans of football statistics will know that Liverpool were enjoying a phenomenal unbeaten league run at Anfield over the past few seasons. Until a couple of weeks ago, the Reds were on an incredible 68-game unbeaten home run. This remarkable feat meant that Liverpool had gone almost four years without a home defeat in the league.  The previous time that Liverpool had lost at Anfield was when Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 on 23 April 2017. This saw the…

Few people would have guessed that West Ham United would enter the spring stretch of the season looking at a top-four finish. But the Hammers have been playing with style and it’s little surprise to find that many are predicting that David Moyes’ team could be playing European football next season. As it stands, West Ham are in sixth place in the Premier League table. There’s a still long way to go with over one-third of the league’s games to…

Should Steven Gerrard’s SPL journey end if he wins the league title?

By Editor , 03rd February 2021 at 11:24 AM (11v11 blog)
When Steven Gerrard arrived at Ibrox, in front of him was the challenge of ending Celtic’s reign of dominance. In 2019-20, it wasn’t to be despite a strong start to the campaign. Thus, he and his players had to bounce back, particularly with Celtic on the brink of a famous ten-in-a-row. This season, their response has been effective, winning 23 of their opening 26 top-flight matches. As such, the title looks to be heading back to Ibrox for the first time…

Arsenal have showed Chelsea that patience is required with young managers

By Editor , 30th January 2021 at 7:24 PM (11v11 blog)
Chelsea made the decision to move on from manager Frank Lampard after a poor stretch of form in the Premier League that saw the club lose five out of eight matches over the Christmas and New Year Period. The Blues were in contention for the top-flight crown in the early stages of the campaign, keeping pace with then front-runners Liverpool and Tottenham. However, they’ve all since been surpassed by Manchester City, who appear to be rounding into championship-winning form under…
