Brighton and Hove Albion VS Chelsea : Preview


A new look Chelsea will face Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Monday. This was a pre-season game for Frank Lampard’s blues when the game ended in a 1-1 draw with new recruit Timo Werner finding the back of the net. This game is a potential banana skin for Chelsea. 

 


Graham Potter likes his Brighton side to play fast flowing possession based football. Their recent record against Chelsea,though, is abysmal to say the least. The biggest positive for Potter is that he has a full squad to choose from, with important players like Aaron Mooy and Maupay among others being fit. Lewis Dunk and Matt Ryan will be crucial if they are to get anything out of this game. The addition of Adam Lallanha makes them much more potent going forward, and with Chelsea’s leaky defence, he would cause trouble.



Frank Lampard, in spite of a brilliant window, has a thin squad to choose from. Ziyech got injured in the friendly against Brighton, Chilwell isn’t fully fit, Thiago Silva hasn’t started training yet and Billy Gilmour is a long term injury. They will also miss the services of Mateo Kovacic as he got a red card against Arsenal in the FA Cup Final. With Havertz, Werner and Pulisic, they should be okay. Their leaky defence would be a concern. None of their defensive upgrades will be able to start. This is why Brighton have a chance. There are goals in this game for sure.

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 ...

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 ...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...
