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 ...

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...

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...
