The premise of the dirtsheet is simple…Friday night at 2100 GMT. You give me five minutes and I will give you all my predictions for the gameweek ahead. No frills, no fancy graphics, just the information YOU need to see where you are at for the upcoming game week.
Let’s take a look at what you can expect to see in The Dirtsheet!
I know what you are thinking…”didn’t we have an African Cup of Nations (ACON) last year too?”. You’d be correct in your assessment…from this year onwards, the ACON is moving to odd years (2013, 2015, 2017 etc) so that it does not clash with the FIFA World Cup. While this is undoubtedly a treat for football fans, it serves up a recurrence of a headache that laid out a number of Premier league Managers only 12 months ago.
While there are always last-minute call-ups before the tournament, here is a list of the Premier League clubs who are set to be without some of their African players. The potential impact of losing these players is examined and the players who gain to benefit are highlighted.
