Manchester City Can Ease to Comfortable Victory Over Lyon

Manchester City begin their Champions League campaign on Wednesday with what should be a relatively easy home game against Lyon. City have been given a comfortable draw in the group stages, with the French side joining Hoffenheim from Germany and Shakhtar Donetsk from the Ukraine. Something that City will certainly be targeting is maximum points from their home games and that will more than likely be enough to see them through. They look sure to pick points up away from home too,

Liverpool to Lay Down Champions League Marker with PSG Victory

The Champions League kicks off this week and the tie of the round takes place at Anfield where Liverpool take on Paris SG. From the minute these two were drawn together, Liverpool fans will have been looking forward to a big European night against the French club, and they haven’t had to wait long. Despite being losing finalists last season, Liverpool somehow ended up in pot 3 of the draw, so alongside Paris SG they also have to face Napoli in what is going to be a tricky group stage for them.

Bohemians Look a Solid Bet to Pick Up Home Win

Southampton & Brighton Have A Point To Prove

The Premier League returned with a vengeance yesterday after the international break, and if you caught a glimpse of Match of the Day then you’ll understand what we’re talking about. From the top of the league to the very bottom we saw clubs scratching and clawing in a desperate attempt to build some momentum, and while some succeeded, others obviously failed. We’ve got two more delicious games to drool over this afternoon, but on top of that,

Big Spending Wolves Hoping for Positive Opening Day Result

Wolves Aim To Increase Pressure On Burnley

The Premier League is back after two weeks of international football for us all to deal with. Of course, you wouldn’t have found many people complaining about international football just a few months ago, but the World Cup is a completely different entity. These games at the start of the domestic season are always seen as quite pointless, and while they may have introduced the UEFA Nations League, that hasn’t really changed the viewpoint of many.

Watford Can Continue Perfect Start Against Manchester United

Right now Watford are in 3rd place in the Premier League table with 12 points, while Manchester United are in 10th place with six points. Had you asked fans of the game about how the league would have looked after the first four games, almost everyone would have told you that these two teams would be the opposite way round, with United in 3rd and Watford in 10th. However, that isn’t the case and while the poor start that Manchester United have had has been one of the biggest talking points so far,

Tottenham and Liverpool Set for Wembley Stalemate

The game of the week in the Premier League is the first one to take place this weekend when Liverpool head down to Wembley to take on Tottenham. These two are two of the best teams in the league, and two who are looking to challenge Manchester City for the league title this season. Both teams have started well and now the international break is over they will be looking to get back into legue action and continue their good run.

West Brom a Solid Bet for Derby Victory over Birmingham

West Brom were fancied to bounce straight back up into the Premier League at the first time of asking by many people and I think after the transfer window now they have had a chance to settle in the Championship, we will begin to see why. The Baggies have four league games to round off September and right now, three of their four opponents are in the bottom half of the Championship table, this is a month of opportunity for them.

The Very Best and Worst of Diego Maradona

Argentina Fancied to put World Cup Behind Them and Beat Colombia

For the teams that struggled at the World Cup this summer, the next 12-18 months are going to be a test of character. It takes national teams much longer than domestic clubs to get over a big disappointment because the players who have played are not together for very long. Argentina struggled at the World Cup and they have to show they are capable of bouncing back, while also heading into a time of great uncertainty over the next few years.

England Look Uneasy Favourites for Clash Against Swiss

England take on Switzerland in a friendly on Tuesday evening and the bookmakers have installed them as strong odds on favourites to win the game. While home advantage means they deserve to be favourites, the price on offer for an England win appears to really underestimate the abilities of Switzerland. Something else to consider here is that this game is a friendly and not a Nations League clash, so there is a good chance that these two will rest players and give others the chance to shine,

Champions league 2018-19 Starts Here for Many Teams

Portugal & Italy Attempt To Live Up To Expectations

Football is a funny game, and just when we think we’ve got all of the answers, the questions change. There are no two better examples of that, arguably, than the Premier League and the World Cup. We’ve spoken about the first pretty regularly, but since the WC came to an end earlier this summer, the focus has shifted pretty quickly back to domestic football. While we can completely understand why, and while we’d probably agree with that in earnest,

The World Champions Tackle The Dutch

Football moves at a million miles an hour, and it’s been that case for decades now. A few months ago the French were celebrating becoming world champions for the second time in their history, but the focus has shifted as they look towards UEFA Euro 2020. Winning that tournament and cementing themselves as the best team in international football is going to be vitally important for their progression, and as bizarre as it sounds, the time for celebrating is already over.

Are England Fans the Best Fans in the World

England Hoping to Bring World Cup Momentum to the Nations League

England take on Spain in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday and they will be looking to carry the momentum forward from their World Cup campaign this summer. England gripped the nation with their performances in Russia, and they gave their fans something to believe in and something to get excited about. The same cannot be said for Spain, who struggled in the group stages and then were knocked out in the first knockout round against the hosts.
