The Boot Room

After finishing 13th in the Premier League last season, Pellegrini arrived at the London Stadium as the successor to David Moyes and was a popular choice with fans. The Chilean previously won a Premier League title in charge with Manchester City and has managed some high-profile clubs, including a stint at Real Madrid. They look on course for a mid-table finish without any fears of relegation, but they’ve hardly taken the step forwards that some fans may have hoped for in the last year. The likes of Felipe Anderson, Issa Diop and Lukasz Fabianski represent brilliant summer signings, as all have improved the team and have provided some great moments.

It looks like being a big summer for Hodgson as he goes in search of the new recruits to get the Eagles up the table. The summer transfer window must reap a striker capable of firing regular goals for Palace. If the Eagles only sign one player this summer it needs to be a talisman and Werder Bremen striker Max Kruse could be worth a punt. In all competitions, he has 11 goals and 14 assists and given his age he probably wouldn’t break the bank.

The former MK Dons youngster has struggled for consistency in 2018/19, with injury having limited him to just 29 appearances so far. Where Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Christian Eriksen have all had great campaigns, Alli has arguably been the weakest of Tottenham’s attacking quartet. Despite his injury problems, one might have expected a better return than just seven goals and five assists in those 29 appearances. Tottenham will hope Alli can return to something near his best in 2019/20, with optimism sure to be high with the new stadium and likely incomings in the transfer window.

Leeds United face Wigan this afternoon in the 43rd match of a grueling Championship season and their battle for an automatic promotion spot looks set to go right down to the 46th. We’ve taken a look at Marcelo Bielsa’s side’s final four matches to see where the potential pitfalls lie on the road back to the promised land Both sides have goals in them and although Elland Road will be raucous to give their heroes one final push towards promotion in the season’s final home game, both sides sharing the spoils looks most likely here. An encounter with Paul Lambert’s already relegated side is as gentle a final day assignment as Leeds could ask for.
