Premier League:Things to look out for this weekend

Is another Carlos Tevez sulk on the way?

 It will be intriguing to see his on-field reaction to the news he will do a whopping 250 hours as punishment for repeated motoring offences. His sentence is just shy of 36 seven-hour working days and he is unlikely to have put much of a dent in it come season's end. Despite being spared jail, he wouldn't be human if he didn't feel hard done by, so it will be intriguing to find out if another epic sulk ensues

Carlos Tevez

Di Canio : Now for football?

Quite apart from seeing if any Sunderland supporters are dumb enough to greet Paolo Di Canio with a fascist salute, a plan mooted by one trolling numpty on a Mackem fan forum, it will be genuinely intriguing to see what kind of team the Italian sends out at the end of an eventful week in which his suprise appointment caused enough of a sporting stir to prompt even proper journalists to muddy their spats in the murky Premier League puddle.

Tottenham's usual slide

 Football teams will lose football matches. However, if Tottenham could point to bad luck when they were beaten by Liverpool and Fulham at home was infinitely more worrying. Suddenly talk of a typical Tottenham collapse began and André Villas-Boas was having to bat away questions about whether they were feeling the pressure.  It didn't matter what Villas-Boas had to say, though; winning at Swansea was timely, we would still have to wait.

Arsenal?

There's no point grumbling now about whether Arsène Wenger has got his priorities right. Yes, it's another trophyless season but for Arsenal the immediate future is all about securing their place in the top four and, if they win at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon, they will move a point above Chelsea, who do not play until Sunday

Harry who?

Harry Redknapp

Having helpfully provided the distinction between a miracle and steering this QPR  side to victory in four matches out of their next seven by pointing out that "miracles are if you're a cripple and I touch you and cure you; that's a miracle … or if I turn a loaf of bread into whatever", Harry Redknapp must continue with his ongoing attempts to turn his overpaid, under-performing rabble into "whatever" for a match that is must-win for his team but where a point will do in-form Wigan Athletic quite nicely.
