Manchester City vs. Tottenham Pits The Best Offense In The EPL Against The Best Defense
It might not be Baseball, but there is little denying numbers play a prominent role in soccer today. Sunday’s clash between Tottenham and Manchester City at White Hart Lane will be one of those matches where numbers go a long way in explaining what the outcome might be.
The Premier League-leading goal machine that is Manchester City’s attack will have to find a way to breach the wall Mauricio Pochettino set up so far in Tottenham’s defense.
Christian Benteke Is Doomed To Live Out His Days In Romelu Lukaku’s Shadow
Standing at 6’3’’ and built like brick s***houses, Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku both share a distinct ability to absolutely boss center-backs. Both are charged with doing as much for their club sides, Everton and Crystal Palace.

Big Sam Allardyce Leaves England Job With The Highest Winning Percentage Of Any Manager

Burnley Beat Watford Monday Because The Clarets Are The Lumpiest Team In England
If Burnley Football Club was a food, it would be a potato.
There's not a lot of flavor here, but there is a lot of starch. The Clarets are a lumpy soccer team. The defenders lump long balls forward and the forwards lump those long balls toward the goals and when the other team is on the attack Burnley's midfielders lump them really hard and if they get past the midfield the defense lumps them even harder.
