Summary
Big Weekend Preview returns as Rog is joined by Rory Smith to look ahead to the Premier League weekend. They start at the Emirates, where Michael Carrick’s newly simplified Manchester United face league leading Arsenal after back to back goalless draws, with debate around low blocks, counterattacks, and Arteta’s attacking choices. Then it’s Manchester City’s humbling stretch, with Rodri’s return, Pep’s adaptation struggles, and whether bottom-placed Wolves can ask questions at the Etihad. Finally, Crystal Palace welcome Chelsea amid mounting instability, with Oliver Glasner’s future uncertain and Jean-Philippe Mateta agitating to leave, as Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea look to continue their momentum. Plus, predictions for the full weekend slate.
