Liverpool VS Leeds United: Preview

The Premier League begins on Saturday. The first matchday brings previous year’s Premier League Champions and the Championship winners against each other. Leeds United’s first Premier League match after all these years is a trip to Anfield. Leeds United’s strategy has to be to not get relegated this season and then they can really kick on in the years to come.

Liverpool

The runaway Premier League Champions seem to have lost their bite. They didn’t really look great in the last few matches of the Premier League last season, losing to Arsenal and Manchester City. But the fact is Liverpool had won the title by then, which surely would have decreased their hunger. They also lost the Community Shield against Arsenal on penalties. Liverpool have a brilliant bunch of players and if they can get back their motivation, then they can beat anyone. In last season’s first match, they came up against Daniel Farke’s Norwich, whom they beat 4-1, a similar result can be expected this time as well.

Leeds United

Leed’s Premier League journey begins at the home of the current champions. There is a lot of talk about Marcelo Bielsa and this Leeds side. Leeds haven’t really added much to their squad. The signing of Rodrigo from Valencia will help. Bielsa has to somehow find a balance. They can’t be playing the free flowing possession based football they had been playing in the Championship. Look at Norwich, they played some good stuff last season but ultimately got relegated, while Sheffield United, who didn’t really have the best style of play, had a top half finish. The first match would be a tough one for Leeds.

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...

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 headach...

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...
