Comfortable wins for United, Burnley, Huddersfield, West Ham and Leicester, the rest draws.
Don't put any money on Cardiff to win. Their own manager says so.
Apparently KDB is available for City. They said he'd be out for 3 months 
We're the only big team dropping points this weekend imo. Top four looking long.
Brighton really need to start picking up points away from home. On paper this should be one of those games where they have a chance of that, but we look like a different team away from the amex.
Chelsea vs Man Utd
Think UTD will get something at the bridge. Maybe all 3 points.
They said 2-3 months (8-12 weeks), he's back 10 weeks later. Must be peds...Apparently KDB is available for City. They said he'd be out for 3 months
Football is FINALLY back! Happy days.
I think I’ve got Phil Neville on commentary.
So glad football is back!

Matić, you're gonna go off.
F*ck off Lukaku.
Chelsea players look like they are having the time of their lives under Sarri.
Why is Pogba blaming anyone other than himself for that?
Clearly his man.
Clearly his man.
We don't use man marking for midfielders they defend zonally. Our centre backs man mark, I believe that was Matic's zone while Pogba's zone is back post.
Alonso is like hey Hazard you play lb and lw because I'm playing at no.10.
Morata is useless
He was too busy talking and not paying attention. I think he thought Lindelof should have switched.
Also I think I can count on my hand the amount of times Mata has touched the ball this half.
He was probably the only one paying attention to be honest. For some reason Lindelof decided to follow Luiz to the edge of the box, which left a gaping hole in the middle. Pogba was the only one to react even though he usually covers the area where Lindelof went.
He didn't pay attention for that split second which allowed Rudiger to get separation. Looked like he was trying to tell someone else where to position themselves and coordinate things.
Rudiger did not get any seperation from Pogba because he doesn't man mark. Generally speaking, Lukaku defends the front zone, Matic the middle zone and Pogba the back zone.
He was angry at Lindeloff because he followed Luiz way too far to a point where Luiz was in Pogba's zone. Rudiger should be picked up either by Matic or the centre backs, Smalling and Matic were already defending where the ball was while Lindelof went awol to follow Luiz.
It was clear that Lindelof was sitting on Luiz and Pogba was marking Rudiger. Pogba was looking away for a moment and it was too late. That's what happened. Lindelof should have gone with Rudiger though.
Well yes, but once Luiz made a run to nowhere near the ball it was Lindeloff that should have stayed and blocked Rudiger. You don't man mark endlessly, you adapt to where the ball is going.
Yes! feck off, Alonso.
Alonso WTF, get up you clownThank you, Dean, for not stopping the play. It's mostly nonsense in these times.
Alonso tried to con the ref to ease pressure. Idiot.
Alonso... all he had to do was get up and not play act. Fair goal. Undeserved on the balance of play, totally deserved for the shithousery.
Hopefully it stays as it is.
Great finish from Martial.
Yeah, takes some skill to miss Alonso.
Alonso going down like he was shot, only to get up and sprint to the ref once he realised nothing was gonna happen
In fairness he was nice enough to lie down and give Martial space and time.Yeah, takes some skill to miss Alonso.
Chelsea deserved to cop that if only because Alonso was clowningAlonso going down like he was shot, only to get up and sprint to the ref once he realised nothing was gonna happen
Never understood that. He wasn't genuinely hurt, so instead of defending and being there to block Martial, he just lies on the floor.
De Gea like in greatest times.
Martial for 1-2. Also, someone hurt Pogba.
Win win!
What a turn around. Another great finish.
Would prefer a draw.
