Tottenham Hotspur Starting XI Prediction vs Newcastle United

October 15, 2021 By 3 Comments

Tottenham Hotspur travel to northeast England, Tyneside specifically, to take on Newcastle United in what has been an interesting international break for the Geordies. Tottenham will be looking to build momentum after having snapped a horrible league losing streak against Aston Villa last time out.

Previous seasons would see Tottenham fully expect to take 3 points back home from this fixture. Looking at the table, this should be the case. Newcastle finds themselves winless in the 19th spot. The Geordies shouldn’t really have a chance, but Spurs have been a bit of a soft touch lately, so the result isn’t as cut and dry as you might think.

West Ham United Starting XI Prediction vs Everton

October 14, 2021 By Leave a Comment

With the international break behind us, Premier League action is back! And for the Hammers, that means heading to Goodison Park to face the blue side of the Mersey as they take on Rafa Benitez’ Everton outfit.

This could be a genuine six-pointer if either side can manage to win this one, as they are probably both gunning for the same Europa League spot when the season wraps up in May. With West Ham having a virtually nonexistent injury and suspension list heading into this one, David Moyes will have the luxury of a full first-team squad to choose from.

October 14, 2021 By Leave a Comment

The Premier League is back this weekend and the Irons are back in action, traveling to Goodison Park to take on the Toffees in a clash that is one of the more anticipated fixtures of the weekend. The fact that pits David Moyes against Rafa Benitez only adds to the intrigue.

Sunday will see Moyes heading back to the very place where it really started to take off for him. It’s also a matchup of the two sides who are probably the best teams outside of the current top 4. That’s right, it’s the best of the rest trophy match.

In a massive coup for the A-League (Australia’s premier soccer competition) Western Australian side, Perth Glory has secured the signing of former Liverpool star Daniel Sturridge for the upcoming season as their marquee signing.

The 32-year-old might just be the biggest signing in the competition’s relatively short history. The likes of Romario, Alessandro Del Piero, and even Sturridge’s Liverpool alumni Robbie Fowler have all played in the A-League to differing levels of success.

Matthew Hoppe: Another American Footballer Making it Abroad

October 4, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Matthew Hoppe burst onto the footballing scene last year. In what was a terrible season for his then club FC Schalke, the young American found himself with the opportunity to lead the line for a top-flight side in Europe. Although Schalke was eventually relegated, the striker still caught the attention of the sporting world when he became just the third American to score a hat-trick in Europe’s top 5 leagues in just his 6th appearance. 

He then went on to lift the North American Gold Cup with the national team. To celebrate his recall to the USMNT squad, we profiled the Californian for our ‘USMNT Stars in the Making Series’

West Ham United Starting XI Prediction vs Brentford FC

October 1, 2021 By Leave a Comment

West Ham United head into the weekend on the back of some impressive form — having won four of their last five fixtures in all competitions. This week, they face favorable competition in the Bees of Brentford. The Bees have not beaten West Ham since the 1952/53 season.

Interestingly, this will be the London rivals’ first fixture against each other in the top flight of English football. After fielding a slightly rotated team in European competition on Thursday, West Ham will look to return to their first-choice XI, and try to keep their impressive start to the 21/22 Premier League season going.
