Chelsea VS Liverpool: Preview


Chelsea and Liverpool will lock horns on Sunday in Matchday 2 of the Premier League. The last time these teams met was not very long ago when Liverpool lifted the Premier League title at Anfield winning by 5 goals to 3 in an end to end thriller. 

 

 


With the summer signings, Chelsea have improved greatly. Their only worry lies with Kepa Arrizabalaga, their shot-stopper who has been error prone. Even against Brighton, where Chelsea had a good game, Kepa let in a goal, which seemed to have been a simple save. If Thiago Silva starts then it would bolster their defence against a lethal Liverpool frontline. A cut-short pre-season means that team chemistry wouldn’t be the best. Timo Werner looks very dangerous and would be a menace for Liverpool’s defence. Ziyech is ruled out for the clash against the reds while Pulisic is in doubt. Ben Chillwell might as well make his first appearance of the season against Liverpool. Reece James will look to have another solid game at right back as he has to defend against Sadio Mane.

 

 

Leeds exposed Liverpool on the opening day and Frank Lampard must have taken notes. Trent

Alexander-Arnold has to be at the top of his game as he faces Timo Werner this time around. Individual mistakes from Liverpool’s defence will prove to be fatal for their chances and they have to be avoided. Mohammed Salah is in sublime form and his opening day hat trick is testament to it. He will be up against either Marcos Alonso or Benchillwell on the right flank. It would be interesting to see if Jurgen Klopp starts the same midfield three as he did against Leeds. He may want to bring Fabinho in as a shield in front of his back four.


Liverpool VS Chelsea has always been an entertaining fixture. It promises lots of goals. Liverpool have been sloppy after their title win and it would be interesting to see if Lampard’s boys can capitalise on it.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: 2020-21

It's already been two months since that famous night in Lisbon where Bayern conquered their 2nd treble equalling the record of Barcelona in the process of highest number of trebles.         Now, the group stages has some mouth watering fixtures, the most notable being PSG v/s Man U. After that embarrassing night in Paris where the French outfit lost to a young Man U team even after having a healthy lead in the first leg, PSG have come a long way and were only second to Bayern Munich last time around. PSG have a strong team and their only main concern would be their defence after their long serving captain played his last match in the UCL final. Their forward and midfield line do not have much change and will look forward to carry on the form that they displayed last time around. On the other hand United have plenty of problems from their defence to attack. Their uninspiring captain Maguire has led them down more than once with the attackers struggling to be among goals but yes pena

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 headache for Set
