Premier League top four hopefuls play in three windows Saturday, with Manchester United Chelsea marquee matchup
One of the side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will be the plethora of European football on your television almost nonstop between now and New Year’s Day.
Hopefully 2021 will be better than this debacle of a year, but I digress: Saturday throws up some very good games around England (and the El Clasico at 10 a.m.), starting with a game in London for Manchester City. I have heard a lot of people jumping on West Ham at +650, which I can understand; but at some point, this City team is going to get it straightened out, and start to roll over teams in the Premier league. Why not today?
Of course, the main match of the day comes from Old Trafford, where Manchester United, fresh off a 2-1 win in Paris over last season’s UEFA Champions League beaten finalists, takes on Chelsea.
I would think, even with the teams all playing midweek in the UEFA Champions League, that there will be plenty of goals in all three games
