The matchweek kicks off with a couple big London derbies, as Tottenham looks to keep pace with the top 4 while Crystal Palace attempts to avoid sinking further into a relegation scrap. Similarly, Brentford, trying to move out of the relegation battle, will host a Chelsea side coming off a disappointing cup loss and trying to work its way back into the top half of the table. These derbies set the table for the big derby of the week, as Man City hosts Man United, with City having the chance to top the table if Liverpool slip up.

Caicedo alternates between great and trash, there is no in between.

Make it make sense

Gallagher plays through a firmer challenge he could've milked, only to supposedly milk a smaller challenge? Why would he do that

Same vibe as Palmer getting a simulation yellow for going down and immediately getting back up

That is a ridiculous yellow. I don't think there is enough contact for a penalty, but he was clearly clipped on the leg and went down because of that. Just calling the goal kick for the ball going out of play was the correct call, not a yellow for simulation,

I have seen players go down without contact on a clear dive and not get a yellow before, no consistency.

Not watching but, like, I can imagine powering through a nasty challenge and feeling like you've been fouled and so you end up in the mindset of f*** it, next time I'm milking it if they're going to do me like this. Again, didn't see it so not claiming that happened, but it is an explanation for how it could make sense.

Disaster is back and Caicedo leaves a lot to be desired as a so-called defensive player.

f***ing pathetic to concede so early.

Colwill is 6'2" and Chalobah is 6'4", and yet throwing long balls at them and watching them struggle is a winning tactic

Wissa with a dive far more blatant lol
