IN-THE-INBOX: 2-MINS
We’ve had Paul Scholes say he reminds him of Kaka, John Terry say he’s the best dribbler since Messi (funny thing to say about a kid) and Thomas Tuchel keeping the door ajar ahead of the World Cup selection.
So, can Max Dowman shock the world again this weekend in the Carabao Cup Final?
In any case, it looks like he’s got a better chance of winning a Balon D’Or and an England call-up than poor Trent, who’s just missed the 35-man (THIRTY-FIVE) squad!
Should Trent have been selected for England's World Cup squad? |
Ok, two tips, six stats, eight televised games and one helluva quote.
P.S. Sorry for saying Enzo Maresca was the current Chelsea manager last week - it’s honestly hard to keep up when they’re on their 3rd boss since January (yes, you can check that).

THE BIG FACTS
Pub Ammo
🤯 Igor Tudor has won more points at Anfield (1) in the Premier League than Mourinho, Conte, Mason and Postecoglu did as Spurs managers combined (0).
😮 Chelsea’s defeat against Newcastle was their first Premier League home loss in March since 2001.
🤘🏽 Bruno Fernandes broke David Beckham’s record for most assists in the League for Man United last weekend. He’s on 16, with 8 games left to chase down De Bruyne and Henry (20).
👼 Max Dowman attempted more dribbles and was fouled more times than anyone else on the pitch against Everton last weekend, despite coming on in the 74th minute.
🥇 The Carabao Cup Final sees 1st (Arsenal) play 2nd (Man City) in the Premier League for the very first time in the competition’s history.

THE BIG TIPS
Jack in the box
2 points | Bournemouth more corners vs Man Utd ☞ Evens
💭 Red cards against Man Utd have distorted their corner counts and if you take those matches away, they have failed to win the corner count in any of their last six matches, including tallies of 3-5 at lowly West Ham and 1-10 at Everton.
1 point | Jack Hinshelwood anytime goalscorer ☞ 7/1
💭 The local Seagull has essentially occupied a striker’s position in his last five starts, getting away 13 shots in those games. A goal is coming soon.

“My brother did something wrong in the game and he came at half time to speak with him but came to me. He started to shout ‘f*ck off’! Rio or Carrick said this is not Rafael and he said ‘f*ck off they’re the same!’”
