Nowadays, the Premier League’s so-called giants are trailing in the wake of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and others, despite having more money to spend than ever because of lucrative domestic and worldwide television deals.

You could argue that, such has been the inconsistency and occasionally plain incompetence of United, Arsenal and Chelsea this season, both domestically and on the continent, that the Europa League is where they belong. He is the most creative player in the premier league, registering assists and goals on a regular basis, and will be waiting to get back into his best form after a lengthy lay off due to injury.

Roma coach Rudi Garcia has urged the team’s fans to put their protests to one side to help the capital side progress to the Champions League knockout stages. He’s not got the pace about him but he has speed of mind to open things up, just as he did last season with his assists for Diego Costa and Eden Hazard. The Cherries moved out of the bottom three by becoming the fourth team to win at Stamford Bridge in the league this year.

Yep, you guessed it, another all-Premier League tie, this time in the shape of City against Norwich.

Jurgen Klopp’s impact at Liverpool is becoming a worry to Manchester United – according to their legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

“I think the strength in depth of Arsenal’s squad is why they’ve always qualified for Europe and finished in the top four”, said Allardyce, according to PremierLeague.com.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe called the victory at Chelsea “the best individual result of the club’s history” and it could be crucial in their survival fight. The bigger picture for me is they are simply not good enough to win the league this season. What lies ahead will inspire us as everybody will want to play in that game.
