THE BIG FACTS 💡

Pub Ammo

Pochettino has only won nine points away at a ‘Big Six’ side in his managerial career.

Man United have only been ahead at Old Trafford for a combined 29 mins this season, yet won three games.

They’ve also now lost as many League games at Old Trafford since Fergie retired as they did during his 26 years at the club.

Brentford have now won more games (2) at Stamford Bridge than Chelsea (1) since April.

Onana has made more saves this season (39) than Ederson, Sanchez, Ramsdale and Raya combined (37).

Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans, United’s current fit centre-back pairing, started 15 games together at Leicester in the 2018/19 season (finishing 9th).

THE BIG TIPS ✍️

Vintage Trippier

BEST BET
👉 Chelsea +0.25 Asian Handicap @ 2.05
Tottenham’s swashbuckling style may leave gaps for an arguably unlucky-so-far Chelsea to exploit and Pochettino will be extra-fired up for a match that might signal the start of an upturn for the Blues’ season.

STAT BET
👉 Kieran Tripper over 46.5 passes @ 5/6
Trippier’s totals this season, including games against possession-heavy Man City, Liverpool and Brighton, read 68, 65, 91, 63, 75, 59, 90, 98, 83 and 66, and he managed 53 in this fixture last term.

IBS TREBLE @ 8.19/1
1️⃣ Ipswich to win
2️⃣ Brighton to win
3️⃣ Southampton to win

THE BIG OPINION ✍️

Your ultimate football fix

It’s actually quite sad when you realise you’re a hollow shell of integrity.

Football is the perfect case study. Everyone reading this is a prisoner to the beautiful game. In some way or another. You wouldn’t have scrolled this far down if you weren’t.

But your one true love is being held hostage to immoral states, oligarchs and undemocratic organisations. The latest example being FIFA’s bidding process for the 2034 World Cup.

Having been brought forward by THREE YEARS, Saudi Arabia submitted their bid within three minutes. Other countries were given 25 days to apply.

Given that any bidding nations had to be from either Asia or Oceania, we were just left with Australia – who naturally jumped out of FIFA’s kangaroo court.

We all berate human rights abuses and corrupt institutions, but for anyone to have even a leg to stand on in this matter, you’d have to boycott football.

And let’s face it, we won’t and neither will you.

See you in Saudi Arabia 2034. 🤢

SMALL SIX ENERGY 🧑‍🍳

Sheff’s table

Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday and 8th-tier Sheffield F.C. are all bottom of their respective leagues. Here’s a quick update:

🔴 United have conceded the most goals (29), have the joint-lowest points (1), and the joint-worst goal difference (-22) of any side after 10 games in PL history.

🔵 Wednesday’s owner has just asked the fans to cover the £2 million wage debt. “If 20,000 people gave £100 then it’s £2m and it’d be clear – so we can finish it. That would cover everything: HMRC and wages”. Their average attendance is 21,000, so those half-time pies could get spenny.

⚫️ F.C. just celebrated their 166th anniversary last week – as the oldest club in the world. It’s not all bad. 😅
