Footy Talks | Cup Drama, Chelsea v City, EPL picks

‍

Although the Carabao Cup is decidedly ‘low priority’ for most EPL sides, the competition has  already created some ‘high drama’ this week.

In a rematch of last Sunday’s Premier League clash, West Ham took revenge on a Man Utd B team that certainly won't have given Ole Gunnar Solskjaerany selection problems for the weekend.

With the likes of Mata, Martial and Donny Van De Beek in the lineup, fans can’t be too disappointed with the loss. 

But there is one genuine concern amongst the Man Utd faithful right now: WHERE is Jadon Sancho?

The young England midfielder was NOWHERE to be seen in this game - cutting a despondent and peripheral figure out on the left, and culpable for his role in West Ham’s first half goal.

It has some fans asking a terrifying question: could Sancho become the next Donny?Is he destined for a life on the bench, limited to Carabao Cup cameos? 

For Sancho’s sake - we at The Parleh SERIOUSLY hope not.

In a packed weekend of fixtures, Chelsea versus Manchester City is one of Saturday’s stand out games.

This week, we’ve featured two different ways to approach the game - with James Sharman making it his ‘Proper Match of the Week’ and Albert Vertanian giving us his three picks in EPL Minute.

It was two out of three in last week’s EPL Parlay, with Everton’ suffering a surprise 3-0 loss to Villa - and if you haven't seen it yet, check out our Three-Team Moneyline Parlay for this weekend's action, including our pick for Sunday’s North London derby....
