Hmm, another typical Hames post

Everton Vs West Ham (13:30BST)

Everton are pretty good under Koeman and Lukaku has started firing too. Bolasie has adapted well while the defence isn't half bad either. Everton basically are a much better team than they were under Roberto Martinez and they should prove that by finishing in the top 8 this season. West Ham on the underhand started the season really badly but they have turned the season around in recent week. This kinda makes the match difficult to predict. Odds should say Everton are favourites but West Ham do have Payet who is a genuine difference maker.

Going with a 2-1 to Everton.

Southampton Vs Chelsea (16:00BST)

Puel, just like Koeman, has done remarkably well so far with Southampton. They are a good team who play good football but their strength mainly comes from the fantastic CB partnership between Van Dijk and Jose Fonte. But that's not to take away from the dangerous partnership of Austin and Redmond up top either. Southampton are what you would call 'an upper mid team'. They are unbeaten in 5 and certainly not that much worse than Chelsea who come in to the match as slight favourites. Chelsea took a bit of a hammering by Arsenal couple of weeks ago and that prompted Conte to change his system slightly and bring in players who are actually suited to his system and the way he wants to play. Moses and Marcos Alonso have been exceptional as wingbacks. Diego Costa is scoring again and Hazard has found his magic again. Chelsea have scored 9 goals without conceding any in their last 3 PL matches against United, Leicester and Hull.

This makes tomorrow's match impossible to call.

A 1-1 draw perhaps?

I figured you didn't invent that but it still can't be true can it?

Liverpool scored 63 goals last season, City 71.. even if we assume Kloppo outscored City AFTER taking over it can't be any where near 3:1, or 2:1 or 1.5:1 for that matter.
Maybe League cup, EL games factored in but that cannot be hundreds of goals, surely?

Could be averaging 3 times the goals scored to goals conceded. That's probable.

Right. So it meant scored 3 times more goals than they conceded? My bad
