WATFORD

The indifferent form of Watford continues, manager doesn't help himself with rotations. However, this week see's two injuries to Shaw and Cancelo, so Wan-Bissaka and Baines come in for some game time. To hopefully change the fortunes of Watford. Jack Grealish moves to DY to help impact the game more, with Maddison put on the bench and Smith-Rowe prefered at LW. Off-field see's the departure of Harry Maguire, he shifted to CL this season. But hasn't shored up the defence alongside Rudiger it seems. First of a few transfers for the struggling side no doubt. 

Unfortunate defeat in the Champions League, but severally rotated squad to prevent any further injury build up.

GENK

Another double injury forces changes for the Belgian side, Cabaye comes in for the injured Gravenberch who took a knock on international duty. And Franck Kessie is on the physio table having taking a knock. Youngster Pape Sarr gets to showcase he credentials and hopefully give the manager a selection headache. Unmanaged Beveren are this weeks opponents, with the leagues leaders pushing for another 3 points!

Genk have really shone in europe over the last couple of seasons, adding a victory over Liverpool to help advance into the latter rounds of the competition. 

LEVERKUSEN

Leverkusen added 8 goals to the Goals For last week, with the competition fierce in Germany could prove pivotal adding some goals to the chart. Not only is the sides attacking phase, Szalai and Soyuncu are forming a formidable partnership with just the 4 goals conceded this season. However, Bayern are this weeks opponents and will no doubt try to test the backline. Manuel Neuer is leading his back four showing his experience between the sticks. Only change this week is Eden Hazard, coming in for his debut. Hopefully it's the "Chelsea" version that turns up!

Just the one goal in europe of Leverkusen, hopefully saving themselves for the league! 3 points nonetheless! And more game time for Benjamin Sesko. 

BOTAFOGO

This weeks opponents.... Santos. a true definition of a 6 pointer. 3 points separate the top 3. Perfectly poised, both teams have 21-3 GF/GA.. 18 DIF... just points separate the side. Neymar is in sublime form hoping to lead his side out against the side from Vila Belmiro. Injuries to Rony Lopes and Elivelton hope to give the side a little bit more edge, but Gabigol is in superb form and will surely test Hermoso/Vermisomo. Manager gathers the team together to give an inspirational speech....

3 Points for Botafogo.... Leading the line in the Copa Libertadores.... Endrick! Will be interesting to see how he faired being 100% Goal Ratio for far this season in Senior games. 

Good luck to all!

Thanks Phil, another good read, as usual.

City away for me…. Go easy

As kickoff approaches the tension mounts and the excitement grows in the crowd, the players are lining up and the ref checks his watch...
