Most Premier League clean sheets since the start of the 2018/19 season:

The Brazilians will be a big miss.
Looks like the Brazilian FA’s eruptive behavior during the Argentinian match has come back to bite their own players.
I personally think these travel restrictions and quarantine days are not practically feasible options given the tight schedule in place by FIFA and Leagues themselves.
Under FIFA regulations, players not released to play for their country can be banned for five days after the international period ends.
The Brazil FA invoked the bans after the Premier League clubs prevented their players from traveling
Well, everything seems to make sense now.
Looks like it has come full circle!
Man City may have to play Scott Carson for their Premier League match against Leicester this weekend with Ederson threatened with suspension and Zack Steffen recovering from Covid.
He’s made just one Premier League appearance since 2011!

Progressive actions p90 vs defensive actions p90 (from 20/21 season), some conclusions:
Mateo Kovacic is the most progressive CM in the Premier League
Thiago isn’t bad is he?
Ndidi could literally play a one man defence
Also for someone who scores a lot from midfield, Soucek does a fair amount of defensive work
Jurgen Klopp on Trent Alexander-Arnold:
“Why would you make the best right-back in the world a midfielder?”
West Ham United striker Michail Antonio and Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo have scooped up Premier League awards for the first month of the season.
Premier League clubs are reportedly planning to ignore FIFA’s demands not to play their ‘banned’ South and Central American players in matches this weekend.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has praised Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani for the way they have handled the five-time Ballon d’Or winner reclaiming the club’s iconic No 7 shirt. Respect!!!
