🏓 Frimpong ping pong

IN-THE-INBOX: 2-MINS

Quite a week for Liverpool and Arsenal’s teenagers ahead of their Sunday showdown.

Rio Ngumoha scored a 100th minute winner against 10-man Newcastle, while Max Dowman became the youngest Premier League starter in history. He’s got his GCSEs NEXT summer.

Wonder if England’s World Cup squad will have something to say about that. 🤣

But seriously…

THE BIG FACTS

Pub Ammo

🟥 Anthony Gordon hasn’t registered a goal or assist in his last 14 games but has picked up two red cards in that time.

🎯 Chris Wood (91) is just 13 goals shy of matching Didier Drogba’s Premier League goals tally (104).

🇩🇰 Thomas Frank has become just the third manager to beat Pep Guardiola away from home with two different clubs (Brentford and Spurs) in the league after Jose Mourinho & Antonio Conte.

🤯 Since April, Man Utd have picked up just 6 points in the Premier League, fewer than any other ever-present PL side in that time.

🇪🇸 Arsenal haven’t won at Anfield since September 2012… when a certain a Mikel Arteta started in midfield for the Gunners.

THE BIG TIPS

‘Under’ pressure

The Weekend Bets

2 points win
Chelsea & Under 4.5 total goals
☞ 10/11
💭 Chelsea won 4 of their final 6 home matches of last season 1-0 and a similar scoreline may materialise in a Saturday lunchtime slot against their solid but unspectacular local rivals.

2 points win
Man United & Under 3.5 total goals
☞ 6/5
💭 Back to the drawing board, again, for Man Utd and a nervy win against defensive Burnley probably should be odds-on.

1 point win
Liverpool and Arsenal draw
☞ 13/5
💭 Liverpool are still integrating new signings and have looked dodgy at the back so far, while Arsenal have key injuries to attacking players. Both teams would settle on remaining unbeaten before getting properly sorted over next week’s international break.


P.S. Our pals SpreadEx are paying out if your team goes two goals up in their new market for all major football leagues.

THE BIG FUNNIES

Frimpong ping pong…

🇰🇳 Full Kitts W***er (winger 😉). Chelsea’s finest swapped the Kings Road for Portobello Market last Sunday to celebrate his St. Kitts & Nevis heritage at Notting Hill Carnival. Dressed to the nines. (see above)

😵‍💫 Transfer ping pong? Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen have done a right-back swap, with Frimpong replacing Trent replacing Vazquez replacing Frimpong replacing Trent replacing Vazquez. Right? Right.

😈 PSG’s group stage fixtures read very much like UEFA doesn’t want them to go back-to-back: Bayern, Barcelona, Atalanta, Leverkusen, Spurs, Sporting Lisbon, Newcastle and Athletic Bilbao.
