Was Spurs battering
of Chelsea a once off?
Pochettino’s
side face a trip to Selhurst Park where Alan Pardew will take his first Premier
League game as Crystal Palace manager as Spurs look to show that their
fantastic win over Chelsea was no fluke.
Harry Kane
and Nacer Chadli were superb against Chelsea and after what has been a rocky season
they will hope that this win will propel them on to bigger and better things in
the second half of the season.
A trip to
Selhurst Park is no easy task and Spurs could be caught out if they think
otherwise, another win would be massive and could put them on a run that they
will hope puts them in a great position to get a top4 place.
Is this
Roberto Martinez’s final game?
After four
defeats in a row Everton manager Roberto Martinez is under huge pressure to
turn things around amid increasing media scrutiny and reports that his days
with the Toffees are numbered.
If Martinez
could have picked one team he would not want to play on their current run of
form he probably would have picked Manchester City but unfortunately that’s exactly
who visits Goodison Park this weekend. City are on a good run of form and will
fully expect to see off this under performing Everton team.
Lukaku’s
late goal midweek in the FA cup may galvanise the team but unless they can get
at least a draw, Martinez, who did so well in his first season as Everton
manager, could be the next Premier League manager to lose his job.
How will
Chelsea respond?
After the
big defeat to Spurs last weekend as was mentioned earlier it will be
interesting to see how Jose Mourinho’s side respond to losing, a feeling they
had only experienced once this season before they visited White Hart Lane.
Luckily for
Mourinho’s side they are home to manager-less Newcastle and its hard to see
them coming out with anything other than a win, however if Chelsea fail to
score early on the crowd may get on their back in light of last weeks result at
Spurs.
