Odd man out James Maddison at risk of being Spurs’ magician without a stage
A year ago he was being hailed as the most influential player in the Premier League. Now, unless he increases his physical intensity, the midfielder is in danger of being squeezed out

Liverpool are five points clear and have comfortably the league's best goal difference – but are they as good as the table suggests? @hkhaliqueloonat.bsky.social has the answer
Are Liverpool as good as the Premier League table suggests?
Robust defence, plenty of goals (though fewer than Man City) but Arne Slot’s side have only scored twice from set pieces this term and have a weakness when pressing

Given some of Tottenham's recent issues against a high press, not making better use Dominic Solanke's hold up play, which is exceptional, feels like a mistake (this does not account for times they go long directly after a short goal kick, of course).
