They struggled with Antonio in both games. Roma have Lukaku so it's reasonably fair to assume something similar could happen. West Ham were ultimately undone in both games by a lack of strength on the bench, with injuries and suspensions. All...

Referee has done a job for Leverkusen tonight when they were struggling.

Cresswell and Bowen were always considerably better at set-pieces. When you pay £105m for someone you have to find a way to make it look justified. Arsenal were stuttering badly going into the winter break. They came out of it strong having...

That's fairly meaningless given the contrasting styles of the two teams - and we hardly ever let him take a corner or set piece. I saw him play 250+ times before he joined Arsenal. He hasn't changed, he's just in a different set up that pushes...

It's only been competitive because De Bruyne missed half the season and Rodri has missed key games.

That's how West Ham play in certain games. Concede possession, give ground, deliberately let the opponent have 70-75% possession, let them take very many 100/1, 25/1 shots. The game then is to play into the large amounts of space that's left...

They had lots of shots but nothing requiring a superb goalkeeping performance. It felt as though they'd run out of ideas for much of the second half. Late subs changed it.

it's going to sound odd looking at the stats but I really didn't think much of Leverkusen. Looked like we were going to take a 0-0, or at the very worst 0-1, back to Stratford with less than ten minutes to go. The second goal has probably...

Areola, Alvarez, Bowen and Phillips all expected to be out for West Ham.

On the basis of the run ins, Newcastle should nab 6th quite comfortably. They have the most comfortable run in with nothing to distract them.

Top 5 only makes the Champions League if English club's results hold up in the UEFA competitions. We have Leverkusen which may be a bit of a challenge, Arsenal have Bayern having already lost games to Lens and Porto and Villa may hit a point...

Rice (West Ham) Rice (Arsenal) Same player, different media attitudes. Ludicrous that anyone thinks he's a different player.

We'll welcome back Aguerd (Afcon) and Coufal (suspension) for this one. Only absentees will be Antonio and Paqueta, though the club are being a bit mysterious about Paqueta's fitness. Kalvin Phillips arrival makes it harder to predict the...
