Arsenal vs Liverpool: Match Preview

Image
Match Preview   Arsenal host Liverpool at The Emirates on this lovely Saturday night in what promises to be an exciting game.  The Gunners are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League games and will look to extend this run to nine, after a really good start by new coach Unai Emery. The  Gunners however, know the threat that Title Challengers Liverpool posses and how good and clinical their front three is. Klopp has never lost to Arsenal since his move to England and will be very confident coming into this game. Players to watch: For Liverpool fans, the always threatening front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino will be the ones to keep an eye on in this game. While for Arsenal fans, all eyes will be on the League's Top Scorer Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and his strike partner Alexandre Lacazette. Mesut Özil has also been in good form recently and Arsenal fans will be hoping that he performs just like he has been in the recent weeks against Live

Chelsea vs Everton: Match Preview

Match Preview Chelsea host Everton this weekend at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are yet to be beaten this season and it looks unlikely that it is happening any soon. A win would take Chelsea to second ahead of the Manchester Derby at night. While for the in form Everton, the three points against Chelsea would be some bonus before the International Break. Prediction: Everton are playing well, and Marco Silva's men always have a plan against every opposition they play. So I expect this to be a tough game for Chelsea. But I do think Chelsea will emerge victorious with the quality they have got. I go for a 1-0 victory for The Blues.

Premier League Saturday: Preview

      Match Previews The International Break is finally over and once again, Premier League football returns with some promising games this weekend. We kick off this weekend with Leicester City playing away to Brighton and Hove Albion. The last two meetings between the sides ended in 0-2 and 2-0 victories respectively for The Foxes, who are struggling a bit this season. Everton face Cardiff at home, and I honestly expect Everton to easily wrap up this one, with Richarlison in such good form and Sigurdsson returning from an injury as well. Manchester United face Crystal Palace, in what I expect to be a very tough game for Mourinho's men. Palace are too pacy up front, which could cause problems for United's defence. In form Watford face Title condenders Liverpool, who will love to wrap up the three points and put some presure on the Champions Manchester City. Speaking of the Champions, Manchester City travel to London to face former boss Manuel Pellegrini'
