Preamble
It's sour and fun at lunchtime. has been canceled.
There is always Leeds against Derby. But that's not our specific wheelhouse here. There is red hot first division action. Fortunately, if it's windy, it's not too bad in London, and the champions are in town, and since Liverpool aren't playing, they can lick their wounds. Yeah, Crystal Palace-Manchester City takes center stage and then Brentford-Newcastle sees Eddie Howe's side take on the team with the best home record in the Premier League. AND Aston Villa-Southampton sees Villa, in that recent slump, against Russell Martin's bottom-of-the-table evangelists.
There will also be news from the EFL and across Europe. Join me.
