奥林匹亚科斯 vs 托特纳姆热刺
This is an awkward one. Tottenham were very impressive in the first half against Crystal Palace, which allowed them to ease down to second gear in the second half. They kept hold of Christian Eriksen and so things have calmed down a bit. He started against Palace, so is that why it has calmed down?
Mauricio Pochettino has changed his team too much and that is why they look vulnerable at the back. I would imagine Tottenham would try to control possession, but this is an awkward trip and these are dangerous teams to travel to. Tottenham are still unpredictable.(大意:波切蒂诺对阵容改变太大,打法改变太大,目前的热刺更喜欢掌控球权,但是对手是一支非常具有威胁的队伍,热刺以及很难预测)
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 1-1

顿涅茨克矿工 vs 曼彻斯特城
Manchester City found this one difficult last season. Shakhtar have always brought in a bit of pedigree but that is getting less and less as the years progress. They are not quite getting those names anymore and it takes away the creative ability that they were once dangerous with. They are not quite sure whether they should be contesting or not.
City will be badly winded after the Norwich game. Aymeric Laporte is a massive miss for them. I don"t know why Pep Guardiola decided to leave Kevin de Bruyne out at the weekend. This will be a comfortable win to get the Premier League champions back on track.(大意:曼城上周末对阵诺维奇犯下太多的错误,尤其是拉波尔特,我不能理解为何他将德布劳内排除在周末的比赛阵容之外,难道是为了这场比赛?本场如若能在客场赢球,曼城在联赛将重回正轨。)
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 0-4
