Manchester City VS Arsenal : Preview

In recent times, not too often Arsenal have had the upper hand versus Pep’s City. Given City’s inconsistency early on in the season with their solitary win from 3 games coming against Wolves, City are not too high on confidence and have been a poor reflection of themselves from their previous seasons. The loss against Leicester was embarrassing with their defenders leaking out as many as 3 penalties and Pep’s emphasis on improving the defence continuously somewhat seems justified as City spent over 100m euros only on defenders this season.

Arsenal on the other hand have looked like a well oiled machine with all their new recruits, Arsenal and Gabriel fitting in the team in no time. Their only loss came against the defending champions, Liverpool. Arsenal will look to carry the momentum from their previous win against Sheffield United. What’s more encouraging for Arsenal is that apart from their club captain and prolific goalscorer being among goals, their other stars have stepped in time to provide the goals whenever the Gabon International was silent.

City are languishing at 14th place while Arsenal sit comfortably on 4th. Its still early days in the season but any further slip ups will cost dearly in their title hopes and Pep wouldn’t surely want that given his side had one of the busiest summer transfer windows. The match can go either ways and we just have to wait and watch in which favour this tie goes

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 ...

Mohun Bagan: The Champions of I-League

Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, one of the oldest clubs in Asia in the space of a calendar year, transformed subpar performances and doubt into victory and jubilation. A script, so perfectly written, that they won the I-League title in the last match before the lockdown was imposed. I remember reading a newspaper article just before the first Calcutta Football League derby, about how rivals East Bengal were the much better side and the fact that Mohun Bagan could only pin their hopes on Spaniard Joseba Beitia if they had to get anything out of the game. In front of a full-house at the Salt Lake Stadium, the Mariners turned in a performance which gave confidence to the fans. They drew the match but created chances at will. This performance made the fans believe. The managerial genius, that was Kibu Vicuna worked wonders with players like Joseba Beita, Fran Gonzalez, Fran Morante, Papa Diawara, Komron Tursonov and the Indian players.They created magic on the pitch. They stuck to possessi...

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...
