The Manchester derby and what you can’t miss in the Premier

Date:

High altitude derby at Old Trafford: United host City in a very demanding duel. Not to be missed. This is a great appointment this weekend in the Premier. But not just one. These are the ones you shouldn’t miss.

Aston Villa-Leeds, Friday 21.00 (DAZN)

The urgency of the seams at Villa Park

Unai Emery made eight substitutes in the shock elimination against mediocre Stevenage in the ‘Cup’, a defeat that hurt the club, especially given the signs of recovery shown by Aston Villa in the Premier. Emery complained about the lack of concentration of his less-than-usual players in the last minute and asked the club for reinforcements in attack, but the first was the Betis winger, Alex Moreno, for 16 million euros. Now comes a rivalry at Villa Park that is not easy against Leeds United (fourteenth), where only four points separate them. Leeds, with Joel Robles in goal, saved themselves from elimination from the ‘Cup’ against Cardiff (2-2) with a goal in the last minute. Same dynamic and similar need for points between two teams seeking promotion.

ManUnited-ManCity, Saturday 1:30 pm (DAZN)

‘Derby’ of the city with a pulse between Haaland and Rashford

After five victories against teams located below the Premier, the moment of truth has arrived for United, against City and, next week, against leaders Arsenal. It will be an intense ‘derby’ for Manchester at Old Trafford, where the accumulation of matches is taking its toll. It also shows the rivalry between the scorers: Haaland, with 21, and Rashford, with 7, declared the best player of December, will measure their inspiration and state of form in a match of the highest passion in the stands. Guardiola’s City, who must play 11 games in 45 days, are squeezing the rounds after the World Cup. His departure from the Carabao Cup, after a terrible match against Southampton (2-0), indicates that some of his internationals are tired, a problem that Guardiola expects after the World Cup in Qatar.

Brighton-Liverpool, Saturday 4:00 pm (DAZN)

Klopp plans to line up Gakpo as the starter on the left

Complex outing for Liverpool against Falmer in Brighton, against one of the teams that best exploits its resources in the Premier, and which came to the game reconfirming its good moment (1-4, against Everton in Premier, and 1-5, at Middlesbrough, in the ‘Cup’), with two goals from McAllister. At Liverpool, Klopp could start his recent signing, Dutchman Gakpo, a talented 23-year-old who has shown great quality as a center forward for the Netherlands, but Klopp is more likely to use him on the left of Liverpool’s attack. From the beginning. The casualties of Luis Díaz and Diego Jota due to injury, conditioned the ‘reds’, and Klopp even used, in the ‘Cup’, the young winger Ben Doak, signed from Celtic, who turned 17 in November.

Newcastle-Fulham, Sunday 3:00 pm (DAZN)

Mitrovic is back against the best defense in the Premier

Contrast of sensations in Newcastle. He was hit by his unexpected elimination in the ‘Cup’, against Sheffield Wednesday (2-1), with many substitutes, and later revived at Carabao, with headlines, with a very good attacking match, against Leicester (2 – 0), which earned him qualification for the semifinals, his real goal. Eddie Howe’s side will look to Saint’s James Park for another push to settle for third place. He stuck to his consistency in defense – it’s the best in the Premier – against a Fulham team that, after beating Chelsea (2-1), is already sixth, with four consecutive victories. Mitrovic has 11 goals this year and is back after his card ban. His understanding of Brazilian veteran Willian –recovered from Corinthians– is bearing fruit for Fulham, a revelation in the English league.

Tottenham-Arsenal, Sunday 5:30 pm (DAZN)

Ultimate rivalry at White Hart Lane between two of the three best forwards

The North London derby. A game is coming that will demand the maximum from Arsenal leader de Arteta, especially in defence. Antonio Conte’s ‘Spurs’ are the third most successful Premier League team (37), after ‘City’ (45) and Arsenal themselves (40). With Gabriel Jesús out long-term, young Nketiah is a perfect solution for Arteta. He also scored two of the goals as the Gunners knocked Oxford out of the Cup (0-3), earning praise from the Spanish coach. It’s a matchup of ultimate rivalry at White Hart Lane, with eyes also on Harry Kane, who is just two goals shy of reaching 200 in the Premier League. He has 15 this season and has given many points to ‘Spurs’.
