Other PL Round 2 Fixtures - Saturday 13th August, 2022

[Stan]

all kick-offs 15.00 (BST)

Saturday 13th August, 2022
Arsenal vs Leicester

Brighton vs Newcastle

Man City vs Bournemouth

Southampton vs Leeds

Wolves vs Fulham

[Stan]

Expecting a record amount of goals in one of these games. New striker, team with poor record visiting the home side, home side look in form and have made decent signings to strengthen their squad, away side expected to concede quite a few.

 

And then there's Man City vs Bournemouth to think about.

[Lucas]

Got my ticket for tomorrow, looking forward to it, although won't be looking forward to the banter if we lose amongst my Saints supporting chums in the evening.

Just hope we put in a better performance than last season's abject one. That really was disgraceful, not a single worthy effort at goal.

Probably be the same team but after a week's training, we have Forshaw, Cooper and Sinisterra in the squad available from the bench and Dan James available from suspension.

It's going to be boiling hot tomorrow so I feel the 5 subs on the bench could be massive and we have some good options to refresh there, especially with Gelhardt too.

Very handy if we can pick up three points tomorrow because Saints may well be in and around the lower part of the league as us fighting.

[N U F C]

Tough game for us.

Brighton have generally been better away than at home under Potter but they were quite impressive last week.

I think it’ll be a draw.

[Honey Honey]

Either us or Brighton is coming back down to earth in this game.

[Happy Blue]

Phillips out and Palmer doubtful ..Haalands home debut 

[Honey Honey]

Expecting a slow game with this weather. We need to rest anyone with fair skin 

[Happy Blue]

Today's team

Ederson

Walker - Dias - Ake - Cancelo

De Bruyne - Rodrigo - Gundogan

Mahrez - Haaland - Foden

[Bluewolf]

I think I will watch City's demolition of Bournemouth.... 

[Happy Blue]

Shocking from Foden, should of passed to Haaland for a tap in! Haaland's livid

[Happy Blue]

12mins gone, we have had 7 shots already 

[Happy Blue]

Haaland assists Gundogan 1-0

[Stan]

Fantastic goal by Jesus. Only a matter of time. 

Guaranteed he'd get his first goal against us.

How are you watching it? Do you have a decent link?

[JoshBRFC+]

Haaland and Jesus involved in their respective teams first goals, some players.

Hold up play and assist from Haaland was class. This City team once they fully adapt to Haaland are going to get the long awaited CL.

Jesus with a cheeky world class finish. 

[MrJuicy]

Missed the Jesus goal as my stream went down. Can someone post a place I can watch it?

Im interested to see how Tielemens does today. 

[Machado]

De Bruyne wow. Best in the world.

[Happy Blue]

De Bruyne 2-0 world class finish with the outside of his boot 

[Happy Blue]

Foden 3-0 KDB with the assist 

[Bluewolf]

Too easy for City.... 

[MrJuicy]

2-0 Jesus again!

[Stan]

Vardy with an embarrassing dive..expected the contact but still fell even though Ramsdale barely flicked him.

Because Leicester are the unluckiest most unfortunate team in the league?

There was a very good chance tbf mate considering they played you second game of the season.

Of course. He didn't get it against Palace though. 

It took a slight deflection so maybe an own goal

[Honey Honey]

Our game could go either way.

Lot of little mistakes by both sides. Possibly heat related. 

We've not managed to really do any damage but the first 30 minutes was OK.
