Who can possibly keep track of what match week it is? According the official EPL site, Matchweek 34 technically started on Tuesday and wraps up today, so let's just combine 34 and 35 this weekend into one thread, yes?

Tottenham should totally beat a reeling Bournemouth side, but anything is possible with this crew. Toby and Jan start for Spurs with Dier getting a four match ban for running into the stands before the break, I'm interested to see what Jan has left getting a start under Mourinho and this time playing at his natural position and not being used as an emergency FB. Son and Lucas on the bench as Bergwijn and Lamela will start on the wings, probably with an eye on the NLD coming up this weekend. Still no Dele who is out again with a hamstring injury.

Winks, Sissoko, and Lo Celso are fun to watch in midfield. Let's see if they can keep it up.

Not nearly enough rotation considering they played three days ago and have the derby against Arsenal on Sunday. Jose made only three changes, and one of those was due to suspension. He better use all five subs early in this one (spoiler alert: he won't).

Hard to tell, it kind of looked like Jan may have bumped into King, who went into Kane. It isn't the worst non-call.

Sure. But you know what would have happened if it was at the other end.


EDIT: The clock in stadium is 20 seconds ahead of NBC's graphic.

Be nice to get possession against a bottom of the table team.

This reminds me of Mourinho's United - defense first fullbacks, most talented CM exiled to the bench, so the team can't do much of anything in possession unless the other side completely sits back.

Has Kane ever scored on a free kick? Has he ever come close? I know he didn't get a lot of chances with Eriksen on the team, but the lack of a quality set piece taker on this team is really noticeable.

I’ve been watching for 10 minutes and 75% of it has been guys getting injured.

It looked like a shoulder to the temple, both players going hard for the ball. Player was definitely out for a a minute or two.

I'm having like, a physical reaction to Spurs right now. The complete inability to string together any competent passes is mind-blowing. Lamela has been so-so bad.

LOL Mournho scratching notes - “Don’t let Aurier cross the ball.”

I've changed my mind--I wish the PL had not restarted.

The Spurs taking throw back towards their own goal at the 102 minute mark and passing it around the back was awesome.

The Fernandes one from today aside, they’ve been pretty non-controversial. I mean when your forward line is built on speed and dribbling your gonna get them more often.

First Premier League team ever to win 4 consecutive games by 3 goals or more. The team is flying at the moment.

Mason Greenwood, another goal.

I haven't listened to it and I probably won't have time, but the Zonal Marking Podcast did a breakdown today on why United are doing so well right now. The episode description sums it up pretty well--coming up with an actual system that gets Bruno, Pogba, Martial, Rashford, and Greenwood on the field at the same time is impressive.

Nobody else up, but Norwich is just awful. West Ham thoroughly dominating 4-0 and under no pressure whenever they are on the ball.

Oooffff, just flipped it on. Good for West Ham. We’ll miss you, Pukki!

Curtis Jones and Neco Williams getting the start in the right behind Salah. A great chance for both kids to show they can hold down a spot in next seasons rotation.

Pope is the real deal.

I can’t tell if Liverpool are bound to score eventually or if it’s going to be one of those days. If they do break through, a deluge could follow.
