England:
Premier League– Round 24
Match
start: 17:00 (GMT+1)
According
to the results of 23 rounds of the Premier League the defending
vice-champion of England Tottenham (44 points) is taking only the 5th
position, staying behind the third and fourth teams Liverpool and
Chelsea with 3 points. But, nevertheless, the famous boss of this
London club Mr. Daniel Levy is convinced that with the present list
of the football players his team is obliged to defend the last year’s
vice-champion title.
Tottenham
(the head coach Mauricio Pochettino)
The
main heroes of today’s starting line-up of the Spurs are the center
forward Harry Kane, the attacking midfielder Bamidele Alli and the
Danish playmaker Christian Eriksen.
During
the previous round of the EPL nominal hosts of Wembley have ruined
Everton from Liverpool with a devastating score (4:0). Harry Kane who
has scored two goals became again the hero of the match. And the only
weak link of the Spurs is now the goalkeeper position where the most
experienced French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris sometimes makes inexcusable
mistakes.
Southampton
(the head coach Mauricio Pellegrino)
The
hosts of St Mary’s Stadium will be the closest rival of the
vice-champion. Alas, Sotton is still in fever this season and Claude
Puel’s substitution on Mauricio Pellegrino hasn’t brought any desired
result. Moreover, the present winless streak of the Mattressers has
ten matches and after a home draw with Watford (2:2) Southampton
takes the 17th
place.
Match
prediction
Stoke
City, West Bromwich and Swansea are behind Mauricio Pellegrino’s
team. And, the distance between Southampton and Stoke is only one
point. Naturally, now it is not the former strong middle level team
that caused many problems to one and all favorites of the national
championship. And therefore today away victory of the Spurs in this
match is the most real outcome.
