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.

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 ...
