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.

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...

Both teams having won all domestic crowns on offer, are gunning to flaunt an illustrious treble for the season. With both squads bragging such destructive attacking talent, the game might be decided by the team who defends better. A first Champions League final for PSG, who seem to finally reap the dividends of spending millions, against an accomplished Bayern side, looking for their 6th Champions League, the stage is set for a jaw dropping game. PLAYERS TO MISS OUT PSG Laywin Kurzawa is still out due to a thigh injury. First choice keeper Keylor Navas is also doubtful after straining his hamstring in the quarter final against Atalanta. Idrissa Gueye is out with a thigh injury as well, Marco Verrati looks most likely to replace him. BAYERN MUNICH Bayern have a full strength squad barring a thigh injury to veteran Jerome Boateng who may miss the summit clash. ...
