The Stadium of Light, yes, what a wonderfully unique name for a sporting venue. It just evokes positivity, having a home ground with an official, formal name like that. We'll see if newly promoted Sunderland can channel that (as well as their fast start) into wins, and thus stay up in the top flight. For Aston Villa, there is no positivity right now. They are winless on the … [Read more...] about Aston Villa Starting XI Prediction at Sunderland

Aston Villa Team News at Sunderland: Victor Lindelof, Ross Barkley, Youri Tielemans
Aston Villa are a total mess right now, and thus the pressure on manager Unai Emery is ramping up.

Aston Villa Team News, Starting Lineup Prediction at Brentford
Aston Villa picked up a new injury concern over the weekend, in the form of Lucas Digne.

Manchester United Transfer Talk: Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof
We have our first confirmed departure from Manchester United, and it came mere minutes after the season concluded. Midfielder Christian Eriksen went out with a bang- converting a penalty in the Championship Sunday win at home over Aston Villa. Designated PK taker Bruno Fernandes was ordered to step aside, and let Eriksen seize the moment. He did exactly that, scoring his … [Read more...] about Manchester United Transfer Talk: Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof
Man United Starting Lineup Prediction vs Athletic Club (Europa League Semifinal)
Last week saw Manchester United play, arguably, their finest match of the season. They went to Athletic Club, the fourth place team in La Liga and a side that had been in title contention for their domestic league, and handed them a 3-0 defeat. That's impressive in any season, but especially so during this campaign, which has been nothing short of disastrous. Now United come … [Read more...] about Man United Starting Lineup Prediction vs Athletic Club (Europa League Semifinal)
Man United Starting Lineup Prediction at AFC Bournemouth
You can expect Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to field weakened starting lineups, from here until the end of the Premier League season. Or at least for as long as United are still competing in the UEFA Europa League tournament. The trip to AFC Bournemouth on Sunday is basically dead rubber, as it really means nothing for either side. So this match at Dean Court thus … [Read more...] about Man United Starting Lineup Prediction at AFC Bournemouth
Man United Starting Lineup Prediction at Lyon (Europa League)
Manchester United, as rough a season as they've had, are still in very good shape towards possibly winning a trophy. Ahead of the start of the quarterfinal round, United generally have the second best odds of winning the competition, behind only Athletic Bilbao, and the difference in consumer sentiment between the favorites and United is very small. Up next is a tie against … [Read more...] about Man United Starting Lineup Prediction at Lyon (Europa League)
Tottenham Hotspur Starting XI Prediction vs Man United
The headliner fixture this weekend, at least in England, features two big money yet still underachieving sides. Man United welcome in Tottenham Hotspur for a match that is actually very, as the kids say, "mid." Two middling, middle of the table teams, filled with players who are not currently living up to their expectations (i.e. salary and price tag) will do battle at Old … [Read more...] about Tottenham Hotspur Starting XI Prediction vs Man United
Man United Starting XI Prediction vs Tottenham Hotspur
A draw with FC Twente?! Yikes, you just can't do that if you're Manchester United. Even though they played a weakened side, as it was the Europa League, a draw with a club that much smaller than you, from a league that is that much smaller than yours. Will they rebound against Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday? Manager Erik ten Hag is already under fire again, so he really needs … [Read more...] about Man United Starting XI Prediction vs Tottenham Hotspur
