Wolves VS Manchester City: Preview

Manchester City begin their Premier League campaign against Nuno’s Wolves aiming to regain the title from Liverpool. Wolves are no pushovers and have performed consistently ever since they gained promotion from the Championship and have remained in the top 8 mostly. Their first game saw them winning 2-0 against Sheffield United, who themselves have impressed after coming through the ranks of the Championship. Wolves’ top scorer Raul Jimenez was again on target and the other goal coming from the Moroccon captain Romain Saiss.

It will be interesting how Pep makes his team lineup after the departure of David Silva and whether new arrivals Ferran Torres and Nathan Ake will get a chance in the first team. Sergio Aguero is still recovering from the knee injury sustained in June against Burnley. While Mahrez is fully fit after recovering from Covid 19, Laporte is still not back to full fitness and his participation is in limbo. Kyle Walker is certain to start in Right back position along with De Bruyne, Rodri and Gundogan most preferably. Not much is known about Benjamin Mendy’s fitness which means if he is not fully fit, Joao Cancelo will have to do the left back duties, which is not his usual position but he has responded to Pep’s demands very well.

Wolves are brimming with confidence and will look forward to carry the momentum from their first win of the Premier League campaign and look forward to come back after losing against Championship side Stoke City in the Carabao Cup second round, thanks to a goal from Jacob Brown in the 86th minute. Manchester City on the other hand cannot afford to lose or even draw as their primary rivals Liverpool have already recorded two wins from two. True that Premier League has just started but an early lead from Liverpool would keep City on the back foot.

Premier League has already turned on the heat with thrilling matches of Leeds, Spurs, Everton and we just can’t wait to see Manchester City add more flavour to it.

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...

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 ...
