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 ...

VAR: Boon or Bane?

  Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place.      The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

History of the FA Community Shield

  Now that there are now not many games round the corner, we decided to take a glimpse at the history of the Community Shield. The Community Shield is played between the winners of the Premier League and the winners of the FA cup of the previous season and marks the first trophy of the long season that is to be played ahead.  Well if both are triumphed by a single club, the runner up in the Premier League happens to be the opposition. It is more charity oriented rather than just business as the game proceeds are distributed to the charities and community initiatives. The history goes back to 1898 when it was first played between the professionals and the amateurs. The first official match was played between Manchester United and the Queens Park Rangers where it was known as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield.     While you may wonder that rules must remain the same, yeah they are except for a few exceptions like the teams are allowed a maximum of 6 substitutions ...
