Race For Europe

        

The Premier League has finally come to its business end, even after almost a 3 month lay off due to the Corona virus. The question is, who can hold their nerve, who can qualify for Europe's most coveted competition next season? Runaway winners Liverpool, ending their 30 year old wait for the Trophy, and Manchester City, have already secured the top 2 spots for the UEFA Champions League. It has all come down to a three-way dead lock between Manchester United, Chelsea and Leicester City, where each of them have a fair chance to get into Europe’s elite competition.


        

The next set of fixtures bring about mouthwatering clashes for the neutrals. It's do or die. With two places left to fill and three in contention for it and the fact that two of them (Man Utd and Leicester) go head to head, leaves the teams with their fate in their own hands.

        

As it stands, a draw for Chelsea and Manchester United each would be enough. Leicester would have to settle for the Europa League if both these matches end in a stalemate.

In case Leicester and Manchester United play out a draw, Manchester United would go through. For the Foxes to qualify, they would need some help from the Wolves and hope beat Chelsea. They would then qualify, due to a far superior goal difference. For any other result from the Chelsea - Wolves game, Chelsea would qualify.

If Leicester win against Manchester United, they would move up to the third in the table, pushing the Red Devils down to fourth. In such a scenario, the Blues have to at least play out a draw, because Manchester United are way ahead in terms of goal difference.

So get ready for some adrenaline rush. Even if the title's done and dusted, the Premier League always keeps you at the edge of your seat. All the matches start at 8:30 PM IST on Sunday.

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

    Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out.  Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL : PREVIEW

  Bayern Munich and PSG meet in Europe's most prestigious competition final in Lisbon on Sunday. Both teams having won all domestic crowns on offer, are gunning to flaunt an illustrious treble for the season. With both squads bragging such destructive attacking talent, the game might be decided by the team who defends better. A first Champions League final for PSG, who seem to finally reap the dividends of spending millions, against an accomplished Bayern side, looking for their 6th Champions League, the stage is set for a jaw dropping game. PLAYERS TO MISS OUT PSG Laywin Kurzawa is still out due to a thigh injury. First choice keeper Keylor Navas is also doubtful after straining his hamstring in the quarter final against Atalanta. Idrissa Gueye is out with a thigh injury as well, Marco Verrati looks most likely to replace him. BAYERN MUNICH Bayern have a full strength squad barring a thigh injury to veteran Jerome Boateng who may miss the summit clash.    ...

Barcelona V/S Napoli : Preview

With the dishonour of going trophyless for the first time since 2007-08 looming large, winning the UCL after 5 years will easily rub off the pain of not winning the La liga and their below par performances during the later stages of the competition, over the years. Having said that, the task on hand is no piece of cake as they face a stubborn Napoli side, inspired by Gennaro Gattuso who can outrival any side on their day. Their strike force is deadly to say the least. Insigne, Mertens, Lozano, Milik, Callejon, Politano can wreck havoc across defences, more so when Barca has a very poor record defensively of late. Napoli  had the most possession(59%) and the most passes in the Serie A, were the Coppa Italia champions and they were the unbeaten team in their group despite being on the same pool with defending champions, Liverpool.  Players missing out- FC Barcelona Missing out influential midfielder, Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal through suspension will be a cause of headach...
