The last weekend of football before the international break. Bleh! Who’s ever ready for a break from club football?

The Premier League is well on its way as the best drama series ever produced. The transfer window saw many changes happen and big teams spend big money.

Other Premier League teams saw transfer requests and players showing their evil sides. Teams have a little over a week to complete their business and then all the business, drama, and results are handled on the pitch.

What will happen this weekend to the club you love? Win, lose, draw, continue a perfect run or fail to meet expectations? This is an important weekend before going into the international break. Teams want to end on a high note before heading off to homeland duty.

Some managers come into these fixtures with their backs against the wall. Slaven Bilic, Rafael Benitez, and Frank de Boer are just a few managers sweating and playing with their futures at their respected clubs. They need to fix whatever’s broken and get their teams higher up the table.
