Starting with the hosts, only making their Serie B return this season, it is no secret that Amazonas' sole priority has been on maintaining their second-tier status this time around.

Teams that come up from the Championship will not be able to play out the back against Arsenal. They're one of the best defensive and pressing sides in the league! The goalkeeper had two or three warnings. Gyokeres just has to settle himself down. Maybe he's reaching but he should do a lot better. That should be the final warning for Leeds, it's ridiculous.
When Ibrox turns on its own like this, there's a temptation to put in the earplugs and don the crash helmet. It ain't pretty. It's as visceral as it gets; loud and vicious, words coming like blades, capable of cutting their target in half.
