Then, United had Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro on the bench but now the outlook is very different for Saturday’s hosts. Ronaldo is no longer United’s concern while Casemiro has established himself as one of the signings of the season, with Erik ten Hag sorting his rabble out in commendable fashion..
At least we know which Arsenal side will show up. Arteta has no reason to overthink his approach to the derby. The Gunners just need to stay the course and maintain the performances and consistency that has surprised us all. Easy, right? When they lost at the Emirates earlier in the season, the performance was almost as dispiriting as the result. But come Monday morning, Tottenham could be five points off the top four having had their backsides slapped by the local enemy; or back among the Champions League places in possession of the local bragging rights. The second scenario might only be temporary relief, but the first could irreparably ruin the relationship between Spurs fans and Conte.
To do that, though, Fulham will have to be the first team to score past Nick Pope in over two months. The Newcastle keeper hasn’t conceded since Southampton’s late consolation on November 6, keeping seven consecutive clean sheets along the way. At least Lampard is guaranteed to end it still in his job. Probably. Farhad Moshiri said this week that he has ‘faith’ in the management team but his interview on Thursday withAnd Goodison will be a grim place to be on Saturday evening if Lampard’s side maintain their recent form. Especially if the Manchester City-slaying Saints do the same.We can’t lie, it’s not a vintage weekend in the Football League.
