Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend


José Mourinho could have Portuguese problem, Nathaniel Clyne might make return and will Arsenal rest their best?

Poor José Mourinho! Once he was king but now he cannot even claim to be the Premier’s League best Portuguese manager. Carlos Carvalhal certainly has a stronger case for that accolade at the moment. It is hard to imagine that any other manager could have turned Swansea around as impressively as he has done since taking over in late December, when the Welsh club seemed doomed. Now they are out of the relegation zone and within reach of survival. Even Mourinho must admire the solidity that Carvalhal has introduced to Swansea, who will not give up chances easily at Old Trafford. Paul Pogba performed well for France in Tuesday’s victory in Russia but will he be restored to the starting lineup for United? PD
