Liverpool have shown class and ambition after facing stern tests in the champions league and against Tottenham. Last season we saw how ruthless Manchester City were. After getting a single draw against Everton moving into January, broke Premier League record held by Arsenal and Chelsea (13 successive victories) when they notched 18 consecutive victories in the Premier League. Liverpool may have a different agenda this season and if the EPL title is part of what they seek for, then they need to earn all three points, no matter the opposition. Klopp has demanded more from his players as pundits analyzed…

Sarri endured a slippage of points to West Ham on Sunday when he started similar players with tired legs. Apart from fans wondering why the 59-year-old manager did not bring in fresh legs in the second half, the likes of Victor Moses, Gary Cahill, Cesc Fabregas, Palmieri Emerson, Hudson-Odoi and Ethan Ampadu would be overwhelmed as well. Now that his passionate players who’s been impressive in 5 Premier league appearances failed to win the Hammers, we expect a level of professionalism from the Italian man. Line-up. (4:3:3 formation) Willy Caballero The Argentine shot-stopper would return in place of Kepa Arrizabalaga,…

Liverpool will look to extending their 100% run of form when they encounter Chelsea in the Caraboa cup before another meeting in the Premier League. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made his team difficult to beat, making proper rotation that earned him 6 victories from 6 in the premier league. Predicted starting line-up. Alison Alison Becker would start ahead of Mignolet because Klopp may not take chances against a team that is yet to face defeat. The Belgian wasn’t at his best when Chelsea played Liverpool last season as he conceded a shocking goal from an unlikely angle by Willian.…

The host would get “a point gained” while Chelsea would be more disappointed despite escaping a defeat that saw them as second best on the pitch last Sunday. Club manager Maurizio Sarri’s habit of consistently giving intumescent players edge to start ahead of others could be the aftermath of their chagrin performances last Sunday. Chelsea’s interim captain, Cesar Azpilicueta was conservative in his words after he answered a few question about their display. His unperturbed gesture shows he could be reliant in leading the lads to a successful campaign throughout this season. According to Cesar: “We are the team that…

Real Madrid talisman Luka Modric returns to England with the hope of ending the world best duopoly held by Ronaldo and Messi in one decade. This is the first time since 2007 we would see a list without the inclusion of Lionel Messi who was either second 5-times and first 5-times. The trios were spectacular in making and unarguably deserves any hierarchical positions. Christians Ronaldo 33, helped his teammates to win their third successive champions league, which was his 5th UCL in his curriculum before striking a deal worth £99 million with Juventus. However, he was knocked out of the…

Despite notching five consecutive victories and a single draw this season, Spanish forward Alvaro Morata had a diminutive share of contribution to the success of the Blues which perhaps could twist his focus to the exit door at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is not tentative with his top 9 choice in comparison between World Cup winner, Olivier Giroud and Morata. The two times Champions league winner started earlier above Giroud in Sarri’s pecking order but was left on the bench in a plausible 4:1 victory against Cardiff City last week. While Morata’s stay is doubtful, Chelsea would consider…

Chelsea’s new boss, Maurizio Sarri showed interest in the Polish international after his impressive performance in the Seria A. Although, Napoli’s chairman already cut-off the relationship with Sarri after joining Chelsea and taking Jorginho alongside. Sebastian Zieliński has appeared as the potential replacement for Slovakian and Naple’s captain Marek Hamsik. The French top elite, Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in him after losing Thiago Motta and Giovani…

Former Chelsea captain Gary Cahill who turns 33 in December is worried about not having playing time under his new manager after retiring from international duty to focus more with his club. Cahill was the joint force of Antonio Conte’s 3:4:3 formation but has fallen far below Maurizio Sarri’s pecking order in the defensive line. The former England defender has made his intention known to the club after failing to be tested by Sarri in the Europa cup competition on Thursday, while he thinks the manager has made his services and contribution latent. The 32-year-old defender said in an interview…

So last week we add predictions right with 3 correct scores. Let’s see what we have for matchday 5 Saturday 12:30 Fulham vs Watford Watford would want to come back from the defeat against United when they face Fulham but with the way Fulham plays their possessive football, there is no sign of losing this. I think there will be goals. Predictions: Both Teams will score Probable score: 2:2 15:00 Burnley vs Bournemouth Bournemouth have started well under Howe which is why the manager is the long-term serving boss since coming from the Championship. They really know how to stay…

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri claimed he is dumbfounded Manuel Pellegrini is having a tough start to the season. The former Manchester City coach who had titles in his curriculum had struggled in his return to the English Premier League. However, Sarri had enjoyed a good spell in England which sees him as one of the only two clubs who is yet to taste both draw and defeat in the EPL.

Former Super Eagles winger Victor Moses has shunned talks about not being comfortably settled with the Blues but he’s hopeful of getting a chance on Sunday’s clash in a London Derby against West Ham. He was part of the pivot men in Conte’s 3:4:3 formation who cemented his place as a right-wing defender but since the Italian manager’s departure, the energetic player is yet to impress his new boss. Moses ended his international duties with the hope of focusing squarely in his club career while giving other youths the opportunity to shine, but since, has only seen 9 minutes of…

Chelsea bossed the game against PAOK on Tuesday despite not having their talisman Eden Hazard in the encounter. Albeit, Maurizio Sarri was not happy with the score-line but a bit comfortable with the three points. The 59-year-old manager will draw the table wild to rotate his players ahead of the encounter against Liverpool in the domestic cup and Premier League afterwards. Facing West Ham whom they lost to under Antonio Conte last season will by no means require lots of focus. We expect world’s most expensive goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to man the post, while Emerson would start ahead of Marcus…
