Everton VS Liverpool, Merseyside Derby : Preview


It’s time for the Merseyside Derby and never before, atleast in the recent past, has this match been so highly anticipated as a top of the table clash. The last time Everton got one over their neighbours was in 2010. Liverpool are unbeaten against Everton in their last 22 meetings. At Goodison Park, 7 of their last 8 meetings have ended in draws. But, times have changed. Liverpool have just won the Premier League and at the start of the new season, Everton occupy pole position in the League table.


Liverpool’s goalkeeper, Alission is currently injured, and that is bad news for the reds. Adrian deputized well in the Super Cup last season, but after that, he has been abysmal. In the recent 7-2 drubbing at the hands of Aston Villa(Yes 7-2!!!) Adrian made such mistakes, which a Premier League keeper shouldn’t. Then, there is Joe Gomez, who was exposed in the same match. With Matip fit and Fabinho’s performance against Chelsea, we can see Gomez getting replaced by either of them. Jordan Henderson has to return in midfield. Thiago is back after suffering from COVID-19, and if he starts, he will provide some much needed control in midfield. Roberto Firmino has to find the net soon enough. He has had a few clear chances, and he will get more, he just has to find the back of the net. Sadio Mane’s return is a huge boost. Mo Salah’s recent form is encouraging too.  

 


Everton are top of the league. A lot of the credit has to go to Carlo Anchelotti. With James Rodriguez and Dominic Calvert-Lewin firing on all cylinders, Everton have a realistic chance of winning this match. They have been good defensively and have wrecked havoc going forward. Jordan Pickford has mistakes in him and the Liverpool forwards will look to expose him. Docoure has been a great addition to this Everton side and coming from Watford, he knows a thing or two about beating Liverpool. Richalison has been good in patches and he can be a real menace down the wing. 


It would be a great match and it isn’t as straightforward to call its winner this time around. Carlo Anchelotti versus Jurgen Klopp is a tasty matchup. It 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 ...

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL : PREVIEW

  Bayern Munich and PSG meet in Europe's most prestigious competition final in Lisbon on Sunday. 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.    ...

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...
