Manchester United v/s. Spurs: Preview

Jose Mourinho against a former club is never an uninteresting contest. Both teams having tasted bitter opening day defeats have slickly picked up the momentum, remaining unbeaten in all competitions since then.

Tottenham have some injury concerns with Heung Min Son (hamstring) and Giovanni Lo Celso, the latter being substituted at half time after taking a knock in their Europa League play off against Maccabi. Star signing Gareth Bale is still recovering from a knee injury. Spurs, however still do possess enough firepower in their ranks with Kane, Lamela, Lucas and Bergwin all having good starts to their seasons. They go into the tie on the back of crushing victories over Southampton (5-2) and Maccabi Haifa (7-2) which just shows how freely they can score on their day. Defensive issues still need to be solved, but it's needless to say that Tottenham will heavily rely on their front men, especially Kane who scored a hattrick in midweek, to carry them over the line at Old Trafford.

After a 1-3 drubbing at Crystal Palace, the men in red have won all three of their next games, scoring thrice in each match. Van de Beek is starting to settle into the team with some neat link up plays and shrewd game sense. Rashford, continuing the blistering form he displayed last term, is firing in all cylinders, though Martial is yet to get his first goal of the season. Man Utd is also a team which has been questioned for some defensive debacles, and the fans will sincerely hope that Maguire and Co. are in top form if they are to halt Harry Kane's scoring spree. Bruno will again be fired up to be instrumental in midfield, while the exciting Greenwood cutting in from the right will pose serious threats for Lloris.

A fixture filled with history, both teams would like to pick up the three points and avoid faltering at the very beginning of the season.

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...

History of the FA Community Shield

Now that there are now not many games round the corner, we decided to take a glimpse at the history of the Community Shield. The Community Shield is played between the winners of the Premier League and the winners of the FA cup of the previous season and marks the first trophy of the long season that is to be played ahead. Well if both are triumphed by a single club, the runner up in the Premier League happens to be the opposition. It is more charity oriented rather than just business as the game proceeds are distributed to the charities and community initiatives. The history goes back to 1898 when it was first played between the professionals and the amateurs. The first official match was played between Manchester United and the Queens Park Rangers where it was known as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield. While you may wonder that rules must remain the same, yeah they are except for a few exceptions like the teams are allowed a maximum of 6 substitutions ...
