EVIL BABY. Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Arsenal host Chelsea on Sunday but which of these inconsistent sides will come out on top? "Take away Liverpool, Leicester and Manchester City, and there are a lot of bang-average sides in the Premier League this season," said BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson. "People talk about how good Chelsea are 'on their day', and say the same about Tottenham or Arsenal too - but they are not having many days. "All of these sides are being beaten by teams you would not expect to, and sometimes pretty easily." Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests. This weekend, he is up against rapper and Manchester United fan Avelino. Avelino, whose latest song Higher Power is out now, has been frustrated by United's up-and-down form this season - and thinks Paul Pogba could help provide the solution. "Nothing comes as a surprise to me with United this season," he told BBC Sport. "I have been saying for a while that, in the bigger games, we tend to do all right. "We just need to figure out a different way of playing because when we are asked to have most of the ball, it is like we don't know how to break teams down - there are no ideas, it is like we are running into a brick wall. "The reason Pogba could help fix that problem is because of his inventiveness. He can just pick a pass or do something where he changes a game with one moment. "He is head and shoulders above the other guys. It is almost like being back in the playground, when one of the older boys would get on the ball. Everything about him is just better. "I don't think he can do it on his own, though. We have to build on what we have with him in the team, but we definitely need one or two other players who can do something similar. "People say he is inconsistent but I think we have to admit United are not one of the best teams in the country right now, and he needs some help. "Pogba plays with the best of the best for France, but it is not the same for him at United - and when the United team does not perform then it does not seem fair to always say it is his fault."
