Arsene Wenger’s men get turned over at home by West Ham, implode against Olympiacos then obliterate Man United in a matter of minutes.
I’ve been sitting here ankle deep in ripped-up betting slips trying to make some sense of the form book.
But you have to stick with your principals at times like this and that means picking a team who look under-rated by the bookies.
Step forward Everton who host Man United at Goodison Park where their last home match saw them swat aside Chelsea 3-1.
I can picture the blue half of Merseyside doing their best impression of Munch’s Scream as the curse of Betting Spy descends on their side.
But the Toffees look over-priced at 9/4 at home to a Utd team who were made to look horribly ponderous last time out at Arsenal.
Louis van Gaal will surely bring Morgan Schneiderlin back into a midfield which was over run in North London.
But that still won’t justify making Man Utd favourites against a side who have won their last three home matches against them.
The temptation in this topsy-turvy season is to tip another big shock and Aston Villa are the longest price on the coupon at 10/1 to beat Chelsea.
These are turbulent times in West London but I still can’t see Villa coming away with all three points.
Paper talk is now claiming that Jose Mourinho has “lost the dressing room”.
If a manager as omnipotent as Mourinho is facing an uncertain future due to player power then dugouts across the country might as well be fitted with ejector seats.
