Everything’s mid table when talking Saturday and the fixtures taking place. However, all eyes will be on both, Manchester United and Tottenham to deliver.

Manchester United’s weekend couldn’t be more intense with so many dark clouds looming over the camp, waiting for the storm to come. Could this be the weekend the clouds finally burst and floods Manchester with immediate decisions?

The other of the usual big six has had a rather inconsistent time between 90 minutes, since the start of the season. Will they maintain a winning record before the break? Well, we are at Matchday 8 now and what’s happened during the course of the season has been nothing lacking of the highest order.

You get the top draw, now this has exceeded that and created a new shelve for one of the most competitive campaigns to date. BUT! How do you kick somebody in the gut after such a heart-raising introduction? Remind them this is the final weekend before the second of many international breaks to happen.

Lets get into Saturday’s six fixture fest… The first of the day is five for the day.

Burnley vs. Huddersfield

Not doing so bad takes on immensely bad, in a bad time, while being in a bad situation is a bad option, but nothing bad was planned. A match that’s not up there to get your popcorn ready and kick back. Although, the way the two has set their own pace, this one could be more than what we asked for.

It doesn’t seem as if Dyche and Clarets have really recovered from their European exit. But it may be the time they shift a gear up and put what’s behind them, behind them. A chance to go three games without a loss is on the cards for Burnley. That’s how well they’ve done to modify their Premier League trip this term.

Wagner and his men have been the worst of the Premier League lot. No win, two points thanks to two draws, while being taken down five times with five losses. There’s only one thing to do to turn things around – and that’s get their first victory. If their don’t manage it, it will become their fourth defeat in a row.

Score prediction
Burnley 2-1 Huddersfield
