FOOTBALL VIEWS

FRIDAY: IPSWICH V LIVERPOOL Ipswich started brightly against Man United but were ultimately taught a harsh lesson about Premier League football in the second half. They're likely to receive more of them as the season progresses including in this one as they'll be up against another quality side. Liverpool have had to come from behind twice in both of their games so far which have highlighted the problems they have at the moment. They look open in midfield whilst in defence th

Is Cherki City's new De Bruyne? Rayan Cherki has started this season in fine form by registering 2 goals and assists each with the former coming in City's 4-1 win at Crystal Palace on Friday.

They dominated Coventry from start to finish on Friday as they moved the ball crisply and showed the attacking intent their fans maybe didn't see

FRIDAY: ARSENAL V COVENTRY Arsenal are rightly the favourites to win and defend their title this season and why showed why in their Community Shield win over Man City last weekend. Their squad strength was heavily praised last season and this season it arguably looks stronger because of the players they've brought in. Bruno Guimaraes gives their midfield more depth and I can see him form a formidable midfield partnership with Declan Rice. His signing will also give them chanc
