Southampton needed a miracle to escape relegation last season and after failing to really strengthen their team in the transfer market, they are facing the same struggle here again. They come into this game with a single win all season. They haven’t lost any of their last 6 games, but they haven’t won any of those either as their best results from those games were three draws. They need wins to…

Manchester City dominated the Premier League and finished last season with a record 100 points and many expected them to struggle to near that level of performance in this campaign. However, Pep Guardiola’s side have looked even better this time as they are yet to taste defeat in the Premier League. They have lost just one game in all competitions this season. Their 2-2 draw against Lyon in…

Eddie Howe has built Bournemouth into one of the Premier League’s most effective sides. They have been improving every season and this may be the season that they finally make it to Europe. The Cherries are not considered a contender for the top six, however, they have been so good this season that they sit 6th on the league table ahead of this game and lead Manchester United and Watford on goal…

The Premier League entered matchday 12 last weekend. With the International break fast approaching, several teams looked to end with a bang but that wasn’t the case for Manchester United. Cardiff 2 vs 1 Brighton A late Sol Bamba goal was enough to help Cardiff City beat Brighton and earn an important win in their battle to beat the drop this season. The Welsh side can also count on a first-half…

Manchester United would be heading to their neighbours, Manchester City with their famous comeback win last season firmly on their minds as they look to stop City’s unbeaten run.

They were also close to winning…

These two teams come into this game hurting for various reasons. Liverpool were beaten 2-0 by Red Star Belgrade in their Champions League game in midweek, it was a shocking performance that deserves a response. Fulham, on the other hand, suffered yet another loss on Monday against Huddersfield that effectively sent them to the bottom of the Premier League table. Liverpool have maintained an…

Arsenal are beginning to show signs of moving on from the mediocre days of Arsene Wenger under Unai Emery. The Gunners’ 2-1 win over Blackpool in midweek was the 13th consecutive time they have played a game without losing, and 12 of those matches have ended in wins for them. Their Premier League winning run came to an end last weekend against Crystal Palace and many think that the bubble has…

Bournemouth is a team on the up and at times it feels like it is only a matter of time before Eddie Howe’s side would start challenging for the top four. The Cherries continued their solid start to the season by beating Fulham 3-0 away last weekend. That result meant that they come into this game in 6th position on the league table and just 6 points adrift of leaders Manchester City. They have…

Liverpool set the bar so high with their high energy attacking football last season and several fans and observers were expecting them to build on that this season, but it hasn’t been the same story, at least not yet. However, what they lack in sharp attacking football they have been making up for it with solid defensive displays. The Reds beat Red Star Belgrade 4-0 in midweek to keep themselves…

The Premier League returns after a long boring week of international football, and these two Premier League heavyweights would be serving us a cracker as the first game of the weekend. Chelsea have started the reign of Maurizio Sarri on a high note and perhaps even more positive than most of us expected. The Blues come into this game unbeaten in all competition under the former Napoli manager,…

It is awfully difficult to find a team that forces a major tactical tweak out of Guardiola. A staunch believer in expansive attacking tiki-taka football, Pep doesn’t make any compromises when it comes to attacking. Having suffered three defeats in his last three games against Klopp’s Anfield juggernaut, all eyes were on Pep for his answer. And it came in the form of some respect. Sterling, Sane,…
