Big Midweek: Tottenham (and Arsenal fans) v Man City, Ten Hag, Reece James, Leeds v Norwich

Arsenal need a miraculous performance from Tottenham v Manchester City as we look forward to Erik ten Hag’s post-match comments and what Reece James can do in more than 11 minutes for Chelsea.The idea that Tottenham players will give anything less than their best with a view to denying Arsenal the title is as laughable as the idea that those Tottenham players will suddenly produce anywhere close to that best on the back of two months of absolute dross.

“You’ve got to turn up against Manchester City otherwise they’ll embarrass you in front of your wife and kids!”said, in the wake of Tottenham sagely deciding to do their lap of honour after victory over Burnley on Saturday. The wife and kids can stay at home.Erik ten Hag’s post-match comments and press conferences have been more absorbing than the football his team has played for quite a while now.

Other managers have been beset by similar or worse injury problems than Ten Hag this season, and the Dutchman is the only one who has failed to show any sign that there’s a distinguishable plan or philosophy that a fully fit squad could take advantage of.Newcastle have been quietly pretty good for a while now.

We don’t want to count chickens on the basis of 11 Premier League minutes, but given his impact in his brief cameo against Nottingham Forest, his hamstring surgery appears to have done the trick.that even Nicolas Jackson couldn’t mess up to score the winner at the City Ground, and besides that pinpoint cross, looked as though he had rediscovered the confidence that he’s the best player on the pitch, no matter who he’s playing against.

Norwich will presumably shut up shop and hope Josh Sargent – who missed the best chance in the first leg – can cause some damage on the break.Gian Piero Gasperini probably hoped for an easier opponent than unbeaten, treble-chasing Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final, but his side could head into that formidable challenge with a trophy – just the second other than lower-league titles in their history – already under their belt.
