Man City stay on top of the English Premier League thanks to Sterlings 100th league goal.

 Manchester City remain at the top of the Premier League despite making hard work of 10-man Wolves on Saturday lunchtime.

Pep Guardiola’s men had over 20 shots against their rivals, who were reduced to 10 men on the stroke of halftime when Raul Jimenez was sent off after being shown two yellow cards in under a minute. However, the only goal of the game came midway though the second half when Raheem Sterling scored from the penalty spot after a handball from Wolves midfielder Joao Moutinho.

It was the 100th Premier League goal in Sterling’s career and was enough to put the pressure on Liverpool and Chelsea, who both kicked off later, although both won their respective matches.

Mohamed Salah’s 67th minute penalty was enough to spoil Steven Gerrard’s return to Anfield as Aston Villa coach and give Liverpool a 1-0 win that keeps them second.

Salah scored after he had been fouled by Villa defender Tyrone Mings, but Gerrard can’t complain too much about the defeat as his side failed to get a shot on target all game.

There were three penalties in Chelsea’s dramatic 3-2 win at home to Leeds United, who were denied a point in injury time when the referee decided Mateusz Kilch had fouled Antonio Rudiger to allow Jorginho to score the winning goal from the penalty spot.

Raphinha had put Leeds ahead from the spot, only for Mason Mount to draw Chelsea level three before halftime.

Raphinha was then penalized for a foul on Rudiger in the 58th minute to allow Jorginho to put Chelsea ahead, but Joe Gelhardt must have thought he had taken a point when he drew Leeds level shortly after coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute

Cristiano Ronaldo’s 75th minute penalty after he had been fouled gave Ralf Rangnick another win as Manchester United coach as his side sneaked past Norwich City 1-0.

Norwich had chances to take a point, but Manchester United keeper David de Gea made good saves to deny Ozan Kabak on two occasions and Teemu Pukki goals for the home side.

Arsenal meanwhile cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Southampton with first half goals from Alexander Lacazette and Martin Odegaard and a second half header from central defender Gabriel.

Krungsri Securities forecast the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index on Monday (December 13) would fluctuate between 1,610-1,630 points despite uncertainty over the Omicron Covid-19 variant has been relieved.

It predicted that rising Covid-19 cases in Europe and investors’ move to delay their investment to follow the outcome of US Federal Reserve’s meeting from Tuesday to Wednesday would pressure the index.

“Hence, we advise buying stocks which gained specific positive sentiment,” Krungsri Securities said.

It also recommended buying of the following companies’ shares as an investment strategy:
▪︎ RCL, LEO, III, WICE, SONIC and JWD, which benefit from rising freight rate.
▪︎ BBL, TTB, KTB and KBANK, which benefit from news of interest rate hike.
▪︎ HMPRO, CPN, CRC, AMATA, WHA, BTS, BEM, VGI, SYNEX and COM7, which are domestic play shares.

The government’s stimulus measures to ease the cost of living and boost the economy have achieved satisfactory results, government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said on Saturday.

He said more than 41.3 million people have spent over 223.82 billion baht via four projects as of December 9:

• Khon La Khrueng (Let’s Go Halves) third phase: Total spending of 194.85 billion baht – 99.07 billion baht from 26.27 million consumers and 95.78 billion baht from the government.

• “Ying Chai Ying Dai” (More You Spend, More You Get): Total spending of 3.76 billion baht by 91,952 people, plus another 241.8 million baht via e-voucher.

• Subsidy for state welfare cardholders: Total spending of 22.93 billion baht by 13.55 million people.

• Subsidy for people requiring special assistance: Total spending of 2.03 billion baht by 1.47 million people.

“The premier is satisfied with the state of the economy in the latter part of the year, as it shows signs of recovery after the country reopened. Also, most venues have passed the Covid-19 hygiene and safety standards,” he said.

“We expect Thais to travel across the country and spend more cash during the New Year break.”

Thanakorn added that people can use their privileges under the Khon La Khrueng and Ying Chai Ying Dai projects until the end of this year.

“We believe these projects help ease the financial burden on people and circulate funds in the country,” he added.

The Finance Ministry is planning to offer Thais a new economic stimulus programme at the end of the year as a New Year’s gift, Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said on Friday.

“We are designing a new campaign to help boost domestic consumption, especially among those with high purchasing power,” he said.

“The current programme targeting this group, ‘Ying Chai, Ying Dai’ [Spend More, Get More], is not as successful as we hoped. Hence, the new programme will focus on granting tax breaks to affluent spenders.”

The Ying Chai, Ying Dai subsidy offers cashback e-vouchers worth 10 to 15 per cent on spending of up to 60,000 baht.

The cashback is capped at 7,000 baht per person and stored in registrants’ Pao Tang digital wallets to spend at participating shops.

“As for the ‘Kon La Kreung’ [Let’s Go Halves] programme, the ministry will consider a fourth-round once the current round ends on December 31, provided the total spending shows an upward trend,” Arkhom added.

“Hopefully, spending under this programme will rise significantly during the high-season in line with the consumer confidence index, which is heading upwards.”

The Kon La Kreung stimulus measure targets mainstream consumers and small businesses by covering 50 per cent of their bills for food, drinks and basic necessities capped at 150 baht per day and 3,500 baht per round.

The finance minister said he will propose the new stimulus measure to the Cabinet on December 21.

The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Monday (December 13) that the moderate high-pressure system covering upper Thailand brings cool to cold weather and light fog in the morning in the North, the Northeast, the Central and the East. Mountaintops in the North and the Northeast are still cold to very cold. People should take care of their health due to variable weather and be careful of poor visibility. Farmers in the upper North should prepare for crop’s damage.

Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon across the Gulf and the South is weakening and leads to less rains and isolated thundershowers of the lower South. 

The department also mentioned that another high-pressure system over upper Vietnam and Laos is expected to move to the Northeast of Thailand by today. In the next few days it will cause the temperature to drop by 1-3 °C in the North and the Northeast and 1-2 °C in the Central and the East.

The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is as follows:

North: Cool weather with fog in the morning; temperature lows of 16-19 degrees and highs of 29-33 degrees Celsius. Temperature on hilltops is likely to drop to 7-14 degrees Celsius.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has many important missions for next week, deputy government spokesperson Ratchada Dhnadirek said on Sunday.

The biggest and toughest mission, she said, was reopening land borders.

Borders between Thailand and neighbouring countries were scheduled to reopen on December 16. However, with the arrival of the highly transmissible Omicron variant, the reopening will have to be reconsidered.

Prayut is also scheduled to travel to the border provinces of Yala and Pattani on December 15 to meet the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Centre and other relevant agencies.
