Two teams here that’s been a real tease when thinking about the prospect of them meeting in the league, since their summer movements. The other two, how many goals can be scored anyway?

Leicester City vs. Everton

What a showdown inside the King Power stadium between to teams looking for that last European spots open, besides the Champions League ones that are already taken. Who knows, add three points here for either of them and they could shock the league by stealing a UCL slot.

Two teams doing the business, then not. Then kickstart again, then die because of no fuel. Perfect pair meeting in my opinion. Both bragging a decent frontline and attack-minded setups, the match only promises to be exciting.

A clash of the transfers is what we should label this little Europa race as. Leicester, the team on a bigger high after their midweek heroics. They finished Wolves off in a shootout. On the other hand, Everton saw their chances Richarlison over the crossbar. Pity? Not a pity for them, pity for the person at the back of the goalpost, yes.

A win can bring Everton level on points with their opponents. Whereas the Foxes can ascend up to 6th place, maybe even 5th. A game that holds a lot of importance on their European dreams so early on.

Score prediction
Leicester City 3-1 Everton

Tottenham vs. Cardiff City

Struggles in their own right, respectively. Spurs meets a team where three points comes as inevitable as the fixtures on a Saturday. The Welsh team the other team gathering no wins this campaign and sitting second last in the EPL table standings.

Mauricio’s Tottenham must make good now while his counterparts battle each other and drop points between one another. They can close the gap they opened in the early stages. They sit fourth with their North London rivals hot on their heels.

They can not let them surpass the fourth place mark, or else North London turns from white to red in a matter of days. Cardiff, like Huddersfield can only work on winning, that’s the only option.

Score prediction
Tottenham 4-0 Cardiff City 

Home/Manchester United
