Mark Hughes walks away dejected after his team's defeat at the hands of Tottenham

The aim this round was to do better than my predictions on the weekend and it’s safe to say, like Tottenham against a sloppy Man City, I kicked them out of the park while predicting 5 out of 8 results.

Gameweek score:
5 out of 8

Weekend conclusions:

  • Liverpool finally scraped a win but is it too little too late?
  • Arsenal will struggle without play maker Fabregas CTR‘ing things in the middle of the park
  • With every passing week Villa are looking more and more like a team obsessed with a top four finish and a place in Europe next season
  • and lastly, I gave far too much credit to Manchester City who I thought would put up a bigger fight against a superb Tottenham… clearly I was wrong!

Oh, and I still stick to my theory [here] about Mark Hughes only lasting till Christmas this year! After this performance, his day’s appear to be numbered.

Results:
Sunderland 0 v 2 Aston Villa
