Key stats
-
Norwich City, the champions of the Championship, take on Man City, the champions of the Premier League. One interest fact is the amount it took to build each squad, with the Citizens spending 84 times what the Canaries spent to build their team.
-
Arsenal will travel to Watford. The last time these two sides met was on April 15 and since then Aubameyang has outscored the Hornets, netting 12 times compared to their oppositions 10 goals.
-
Liverpool haven’t lost any of their last 23 home games against Newcastle.
-
Leicester City take on a struggling Man United side and will be keen on getting a win. However, the Foxes have won only once in their last 20 league encounters with the Red Devils.
What is social media saying ahead of Matchday 5?
Can Solskjaer guide Man Utd out of their slump?
Gone are the “Ole is at the wheel” chants. With Man United failing to win any of their last three games, drawing twice and losing at home to Crystal Palace in drab fashion, some are even starting to turn on the man everyone expected to be their savior.
The issue i have with Solskjaer is he claimed his faith in youth was the reason why he was happy to sell off Lukaku/Alexis etc but then never uses them. You can’t sell 2 strikers, sign no one and say “we believe in Greenwood” then never play him, its absolute nonsense.

Worst start to season in 27 years
One clean sheet in 19 matches
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's problems are mounting up at Man Unitedhttps://t.co/5T8nhiqAfM pic.twitter.com/9couyIOyzA
Injuries aren’t helping Solskjaer. He will be without five key first-team players for their crucial clash with Leicester. Failure to win would mean he would have only three victories from 17 games. He must avoid that at any cost. It will be interesting to watch.
