Liverpool VS Arsenal : Preview

Liverpool welcome Arsenal at Anfield on Monday Night in a game which promises to be a cracker. Both teams have had winning starts to the season, but for one, the run will end on Monday. Liverpool scraped a win against Leeds by 4 goals to 3 before comfortably beating Frank Lampard’s Chelsea with the help of a brace from Seneglese forward Sadio Mane. Arsenal, on the other hand, defeated Fulham 3-0 and then went on to beat West Ham 2-1.

Liverpool’s top scorers from last season, Sadio Mane and Mohammed Salah have been on fire since the beginning of the season, getting 2 and 3 goals respectively. The defence looked worryingly penetrable against Leeds but against Chelsea, they didn’t even give a sniff at goal to Werner, Havertz and Mount. The signing of Thiago adds a completely different dimension to Liverpool. He is the only midfielder in the squad who can control the tempo of the game with his simple yet inch perfect passes. It would be interesting to see whether Klopp gives him a start. There seems to have been a change in tactic from Jurgen as we have not seen Trent Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson attacking down the flanks often this season.

Alexander Lacazette has started the season very well for Arsenal, scoring 2 goals in two games. Aubameyang is yet to come out all guns blazing, but he has had goal contributions in both the games. The addition of Willian on the wing has given Arteta a proven Premier League quality player. The good form of Saka and Nketiah is a positive for Arsenal. Gabriel seems to have slotted right in at Centre Back. Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos would be looking to make a mark on the game. Leno’s presence in goal gives Arsenal a solid foundation at the back. Arteta would look to exploit the rich vein of form they are in, taking inspiration from the Community Shield victory.

The last time these teams played was at Wembley, when Arsenal beat Liverpool on penalties in the Community Shield final. Will we see a Pierre Emerick Aubameyang masterclass or will Mo Salah and Sadio Mane steal the show? Three points are at stake and this promises to be one hell of a game.

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...
