Liverpool's Arne Slot, Chelsea's Enzo Maresca, Nuno Santo of Nottingham Forest, Brighton's new man Fabian Hurzeler, and still a few others are potential candidates to win the Premier League Manager of the Season award at the 15-match point of the season. A lot can change between now and the end of the season, obviously, but there is no doubt that, as of right now, Slot has to be the clear frontrunner to win the Premier League Manager of the Season award. It's not just about the fact that Liverpool are first in the league, because the best manager of the season isn't necessarily the coach of the best team in the league. Sometimes, the best manager is the one who gets the most out of an underdog or rights the ship for a team in a difficult patch. Liverpool, though, are the best team...

Manchester United are suffering from the predictable growing pains that Ruben Amorim himself prophecized when he first took over the job from Erik ten Hag (and Ruud van Nistelrooy). After an excellent 4-0 win over Everton last weekend, Manchester United have fallen back to earth with poor results against much tougher tests, losing 2-0 to Arsenal at mid-week and then collapsing in a 3-2 loss against rising side Nottingham Forest. In truth, only the Everton win was convincing, and the Toffees did just about everything they could to hand the result to Manchester United, who simply don't have the quality to compete at the top of the table. But now, Manchester United are in the bottom half of the table after Ten Hag's latest disastrous management, as Amorim is saddled with a squad that...

Chelsea got off to a scary start on the road against Tottenham this Sunday afternoon in the biggest match of the Premier League weekend, as Marc Cucurella slipped twice to gift Spurs a 2-1 lead at the half. But Chelsea would buckle down and dominate the second half, as Cole Palmer converted two penalties and the Blues would pick up a well-deserved 4-3 victory in juxtaposition to rivals Arsenal dropping points in their own pivotal battle, drawing 1-1 to Fulham. Chelsea are now unequivocally the second-best team in the Premier League after clear leaders Liverpool, rising at the same time as Arsenal and Manchester City are falling. And on Sunday against Tottenham, the star of the show was none other than Enzo Fernandez, who has come on incredibly strong in recent weeks and is startin...

Arsenal were seven points behind Liverpool coming into Matchday 15 of the Premier League, but with four wins and no losses in their last six games, there was optimism that the Gunners were, once again, turning the corner. Although Arsenal did not lose on Sunday to local rivals Fulham, they failed to beat former players Bernd Leno, Alex Iwobi, and Emile Smith-Rowe in what was another largely dismal performance from a team that has fallen well below expectations this season. Arsenal could only muster a 1-1 draw to Fulham in the end, and while some will point to a controversial finish as VAR chalked off Bukayo Saka's goal, the officiating excuses Arsenal use have become nauseating; simply put, this team isn't getting the job done. Here are three talented Arsenal players who need to s...

Tottenham will host the biggest game of the Premier League weekend on Sunday, as Chelsea will be in the house for the latest edition of this increasingly heated London derby. Whereas Chelsea are securely in the top four and actually second-best to only Liverpool in the Premier League, Spurs have fallen all the way down to 11th and have suffered as many defeats (six) as they have wins. Ahead of Sunday's massive clash on Matchday 15 of the Premier League, let's take a look at two players on Tottenham and two players on Chelsea who will decide this fixture. Tottenham RW Brennan Johnson Brennan Johnson is one of the more underrated attacking players in European football, as the 23-year-old has been a consistent scoring threat for Spurs this season with six goals as a wide forward, incl...

Is there any chance of Everton playing spoiler to Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby? Will Manchester United continue their winning ways against a tough opponent in Nottingham Forest? How many goals will Chelsea and Tottenham combine for the best match of the week on Sunday? And can Julen Lopetegui close things out with a win for West Ham in a key battle against his former employers, Wolverhampton? All this and more is on tap this weekend in the Premier League on Matchday 15 after every team was in action in league play during the mid-week fixtures. Here are score predictions for every match. Everton vs. Liverpool Everton were torn to shreds by Manchester United last weekend, and if they can't help but give goals away to one of the Premier League's average sides, then how can they expe...
