Liverpool didn’t exactly explode out of the blocks in their Premier League opener. Owen Thomas from the Kop On! Podcast put it best for me, saying: “Instead of bursting out of the stalls like wild, hungry stallions, they trotted out like daydreaming Shetland ponies. Indeed. Along with the lackluster performance, there is the ever-growing injury list Jurgen Klopp’s men … [Read more...] about Liverpool Team News vs Crystal Palace: Thiago, Matip, Konate, Jota

West Ham has the perfect opportunity to bounce back from their (very unsurprising) opening day loss versus Manchester City this weekend. That is because they face Nottingham Forest. The Hammers have only lost one of their eight Premier League fixtures in history against The Tricky Trees. Another thing in their favor is the fact that The Irons have a sensational record … [Read more...] about West Ham Team News vs Nottingham Forest: Aguerd, Fabianski, Dawson, Ogbonna
Arsenal Team News vs Leicester City: Tomiyasu, Smith-Rowe, Vieira
Arsenal’s opening weekend was exponentially better than their opening day from the previous season. A 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the 22/23 Premier League curtain-raiser went a long way towards expunging the 2-0 reverse in last season’s opening day loss. And it wasn’t just the result; it was the performance too. It wasn’t a complete walkover, but that speaks more to … [Read more...] about Arsenal Team News vs Leicester City: Tomiyasu, Smith-Rowe, Vieira

City holds a tremendous record … [Read more...] about West Ham United Starting XI Prediction vs Manchester City

Antonio Conte’s Spurs host Ralph Hasenhüttl’s Southampton to kick off their respective 2022/23 Premier League campaigns. It is a tough assignment for the Saints who have had a poor pre-season. Southampton will have a hard time against this Spurs outfit, who I expect to be one of the best in the league this season.

Liverpool FC Starting XI Prediction vs Fulham
Despite some poor pre-season results, Liverpool started their 22/23 campaign well. It really could not have gone any better, as they defeated Manchester City 3-1 in the Community Shield. However, they promptly lost 3-0 to Ligue 1 outfit RC Strasbourg the very next day. So it is safe to say it is kind of tricky to track exactly where Liverpool is currently at. Their opponents … [Read more...] about Liverpool FC Starting XI Prediction vs Fulham
