It’s a massive midweek in the Premier League, even if Amazon are over-egging it a bit. Also this week: Man Utd go to Barca, and Conte takes Spurs – missing a midfield – to Milan…
The Tottenham manager was already feeling fragile after parting with his gall bladder so he really didn’t need the heartburn prompted by the latest bout of Spursiness.
We would assume that won’t be an issue this week because if Conte’s crew can’t get themselves up for a Champions League last-16 first-leg trip to the San Siro to face AC Milan, there really is no hope. But, Spurs. His first goal for the club offered a tantalising glimpse of what the future could look like, with Felix finding space to volley in an exquisite delivery from Enzo Fernandez. Both January additions look like they might have to do a lot of the heavy lifting for the Chelsea attack while their other new arrivals, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Noni Madueke, take a little more time to settle.
Parker will become only the fifth English manager to coach in the Champions League knockout stage when Benfica turn up in Bruges. It will be our first real chance to check in with the former Bournemouth and Fulham boss in Belgium, where he has drawn five of his seven league games in charge. But, this season, Brugge are a different animal in Europe, having progressed from a group that featured Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Porto.
