After Tottenham got routed at Sheffield United in league player on Friday night, Arsenal’s Facebook page posted a link to highlights of their FA Cup win at Sheffield United a few days prior.

Chelsea at Crystal Palace Team News: Kante, Kovacic, Tomori, Kelly, Schlupp

July 6, 2020 By 1 Comment

Since the Premier League restart, Christian Pulisic has been Chelsea FC’s best overall player. Heading into Tuesday night’s clash at Crystal Palace, the young American is riding a streak of games in which he’s either scored, assisted or won a penalty setting up a spot kick score.

He’s really starting to fill the void left by Eden Hazard when the Belgian left for Real Madrid. During and after the 3-0 win over Watford on Fourth of July (the birthday of Pulisic’s home country), media pundits and social media users alike drew Pulisic-Hazard analogies.

Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction at Crystal Palace

July 6, 2020 By 5 Comments

Tuesday night sees a London derby with consequence on the top four race as Chelsea FC travel to Crystal Palace. It’s going to be really fascinating to see what happens in the battle for UEFA Champions League qualification, as Leicester City, Chelsea and Manchester United run third through fifth in the table and they are separated by just three points.

Wolves are right there as well, sitting sixth and three points behind United. Adding more intrigue to how it all shakes out, second place Manchester City are unlikely to see their European ban overturned, meaning the fifth place team is likely to get in.

Tottenham Hotspur hosts Everton FC tomorrow night in a match that could, for all intents and purposes, end European football hopes for one of the sides involved. Spurs come in to this one in 10th place four points out of seventh place and seven off the pace for sixth.

The Toffees are just behind them in the table, five out of seventh place and eight out of the sixth position. With only six games left, if you’re going to make a run for Europa League play next season, you got to start that run right now.

Christian Pulisic Rightfully Drawing Eden Hazard Comparisons

July 5, 2020 By Leave a Comment

When Chelsea signed U.S. international Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund in January of 2019, many believed that this acquisition signaled the end of the Eden Hazard era at Stamford Bridge. After all they play the same position and Hazard was consistently being linked with a move to Real Madrid.

That summer the Belgian finally made his move to the Spanish capital, after years of speculation, and the Blues were left with a void in their attacking midfielder/winger position group.

Liverpool FC Starting XI Prediction vs Aston Villa FC

July 4, 2020 By Leave a Comment

When Liverpool FC host Aston Villa tomorrow night, you really got to like their chances, even if the match will see some youngsters and reserves getting major playing time. Although it is likely that Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will rotate his side, we’re still talking about the runaway league champions versus a team in the drop zone.

It’s also a match-up that the Merseyside club have dominated over the history of the series, winning 95 times compared to the Villans 58. In fact, Aston Villa have not won at Anfield since September of 2014.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa Team News: Matip, Lovren, Gomez, Targett

Liverpool FC got absolutely thrashed in the honor guard game at Manchester City in midweek, but it’s understandable why. Having just ended a three decade long league title drought, the party was on, and of course a release (and subsequent let-down) was inevitable.

After the 4-0 shellacking, it’s now time to regroup, and try to get back on the winning track. As long as the Reds drop no less than three points the rest of the way, they can still eclipse the 2018-19 Manchester City record for season points, and go down as the most prolific team of the Premier League era. Up next is a home match against relegation fodder Aston Villa.

Manchester City at Southampton FC Starting XI Predictions

July 4, 2020 By Leave a Comment

For the rest of the Premier League run-in, Manchester City will focus on keeping their edge sharp for the next major competition, the UEFA Champions League in August. For City, it’s obviously extremely high in meaning, as they have yet to ever reach a UCL final, and it’s likely their ban for the next two seasons will be upheld.

So they got to make this one count. However, up next is a league clash at Southampton FC, and it’s a match-up where both sides will be very loose and free, as neither club has anything to lose in this one. We could see some squad rotation in this one.
