Round 17 EPL Preview – December 2019

17-epl-review

1. Liverpool – Watford

In the early kick-off the first and the last in the table meet at Anfield. Liverpool had European match during the midweek and we might see some rotation from Jurgen Klopp as the Reds are very impressive since start of the season. Nigel Pearson will lead Watford for the first time but he couldn’t asked for worse place to make his debut. Liverpool attacking options are impressive and our team considers that they will win easily.

2. Burnley – Newcastle

Newcastle are in a row of 2 consecutive wins and will want to continue the fine form with yet another display that could help them move up the table and further away from the relegation places. Same goes for Burnley as well and they do count on their home matches to gain points. In their last 2 home matches they lost to Man City and Crystal Palace, so the Clarets will want to make up to their fans.

3. Chelsea – Bournemouth

Chelsea entertain Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge in a bid to cement their place in the Top 4. Lampard’s young side progressed through the group stages of the UEFA Champions League and will be in good spirits for the match. Tammy Abraham returned and is crucial when it comes to scoring goals. The Blues have their transfer ban cancelled and it will be interesting to see who will they sign in January. Bournemouth need to start picking points if they want to be out relegation trouble. Our team is considering big win for Chelsea.

4. Leicester – Norwich

Leicester are the team in form apart from Liverpool and all eyes are on the Foxes to keep chasing the leaders. Brendan Roger’s extended his stay by signing new contract with the club. The Foxes are playing attractive football and many even consider that the team is playing even better compared to the champions winning side a few seasons ago. With Jamie Vardy, Maddison and Iheanacho up front, Roger’s can rely on different looking attack. The Foxes have advantage that they don’t have European commitments and will be fresh enough. Norwich can score goals and proved it since beginning of the season. Our team considers a high scoring event at the Walkers Stadium.

5. Sheffield United – Aston Villa

Sheffield United and Aston Villa face each other in a match where both team are newcomers in the division. The Blades are impressing everyone and are finding themselves in the top half of the table. United are playing attractive football and it‘s amazing how the core of the team from League 1 are performing so well at the highest level against top oppositions on weekly basis. Aston Villa are having mixed performances and Dean Smith and his team must pick points in order to be away from trouble.

6. Southampton – West Ham

In the late kick off Southampton face West Ham in a match where points will be crucial. The Saints lost away at Newcastle after being in the leading position. The south coast club is in the relegation zone and they will be eager to get the win against fellow strugglers West Ham. The Hammers must play for their manager Pellegrini who is under pressure. The Hammers played well against Arsenal but lost so they will be now looking to bounce back.

7. Wolves – Tottenham

Wolves face Tottenham in an entertaining fixture at the Molineux. Two of the greatest Portuguese managers will battle against one another and we will see who will come on top of the clash between Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo. Wolves trashed Besiktas and will continue their adventure in the UEFA Europa League, whilst Spurs lost at Bayern but also progessed for the Knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League. A big test for both teams and attacking threats they are posing will be interesting.

8. Man United – Everton

Manchester United seem to find their form and made huge progress during the past few weeks. The Red Devils are now on a hunt of 3 consecutive league win. Everton are also in high spirits after the winning debut of care-taker manager Duncan Ferguson and their impressive win over Chelsea last time round. This time they will have tough task to stop the enthusiastic attacking football by the young attacking United team. Our team considers a victory for the Manchester United team and another step in the right direction for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

9. Arsenal – Man City

In the derby match of the round Arsenal are facing the troubled Man City team. The Blues suffered derby day defeat and Pep Guardiola’s side will be eager to make the wrongs right against shaky Arsenal team which can not hit the ground running since Freddie Ljunberg’s appointment. The Gunners progressed in the Europa League but need to improve in the league. They did a first step in this direction by winning the London derby against West Ham and now will certainly want to win against City. Our team thinks that the spaces being left by the home side – City to win.

10. Crystal Palace – Brighton

In a fierce derby game on Monday night, Palace are welcoming Brighton. The London side is on a 3-match undefeated run so the Eagles will want to use the home advantage and get the bragging rights against their rivals. Brighton impressed during the last 2 matches – drawing against Wolves and beating Arsenal, so they will fancy their chances. Knowing the importance of the match for the both teams, our team considers a low-scoring affair at Selhurst Park.

Round 16 EPL Preview – December 2019

Round 16 EPL Preview - December 2019

1. Everton – Chelsea

Everton face Chelsea in what appears to be final or maybe first match in the speculation over Marco Silva’s future at helm at the Toffees. The Blues lost the Merseyside derby heavily 5-2 and will be pumped to give something to cheer to their fans after this season is already turning into a nightmare. Frank Lampard’s Chelsea won against A Villa during the midweek with emotional reuniting with their former captain John Terry, now assistant at Villa. Tammy Abraham returned with a goal and assist and there is enough reason to think that the new England international will lead the attack at Goodison Park on Saturday. With emotions to be high as our team predicts, we consider this not to be a highly scoring affair.

2. Bournemouth – Liverpool

The Reds are flying at the minute and produced another splendid display during the Merseyside derby at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s side can not be stopped and on Saturday Bournemouth will be the next test for the Reds. Despite being super effective on counter attack, the Reds conceded goals in matches against the likes of A Villa, Brighton, Crystal Palace and our team is thinking that this will be continued as a trend on South Coast on Saturday. Alisson Becker is suspended for the game and the Cherries will definitely try to target his replacement Adrian. It will interesting to see how will Jurgen Klopp adapt to super intensive and high pressing style of Eddie Howe, which side is solid on their home matches.

3. Tottenham – Burnley

Tottenham lost at Old Trafford over the midweek only to break Jose Mourinho’s perfect start at helm at Spurs. The London side will definitely want to make up for the lost at home to Burnley on Saturday in match where Harry Kane is finally expected to score in the league. Spurs find it difficult in the past few years against the Clarets at home but manage to get the win so we expect the variation in the Spurs attack to help them strive under the pressure and get the maximum points in their hunt to be close to the Top 4 and qualify for the UEFA Champions League which is going to be Mourinho’s aim. This and of course finally winning a trophy for the North London side.

4. Watford – Crystal Palace

Watford will seek all 3 points against Crystal Palace in a hard times for the Bees. They are currently without a manager after the sacking of Qique Sanchez Flores and Hayden Mullins who is familiar face in the Premier League will have to act fast and steady the ship. On Saturday Crystal Palace is visiting Vicarage Road and after 2 straight victories, the Eagles are flying high in the table and find themselves comfortably in the top of the table. They will have to cope with the absence of their vital defender Mamadou Sakho after the former France international receiving a straight red card during the narrow win against Bournemouth. The Eagles will have what it takes to make it 3 in a row and the shambles of Watford is set to continue according to our team.

5. Man City – Man United

Man City face Man United in yet another breathtaking Manchester derby in the weekend and form goes out of the window when it comes to the big match at the Etihad. Pep Guardiola’s side is high on confidence after solid display in midweek but need to step up in their chase of Liverpool and can not drop many more points if the Citizens want to make it 3 in a row titles. Sergio Aguero is out of the derby and it’s to be seen whether Gabriel Jesus can continue scoring. Man United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won against Spurs and probably have taken a fresh air but the Red Devils need to produce a series of solid displays in order to prove to their fans that they’ve turned a corner. A very solid test for the United defense and as expected, the flairs will be high for the local bragging rights, so our team expects many fouls and yellow cards.

6. Newcastle – Southampton

Newcastle entertain Southampton in a clash where points will be needed by both teams. The Magpies were impressive last week against Man City and managed to back the good performance by an away win at Sheffield United, so the team will be on high spirits. Southampton got back to back home wins against fellow strugglers and the Saints lifted themselves out of the relegation zone. The Saints need to start picking up points on the road as well if they want to drag themselves out of the relegation scrap they are into currently. The shaky form away from home is too strong and our team considers another Newcastle win.

Norwich and Sheffield United face each other in all newcomers affair at Carrow Road where the host will be looking for a win in order to lift them out of the relegation zone. Sheffield United are yet to lose away from home and the record of without a win still stands which is extremely serious achievement by the Blades. Their confidence was damaged by the loss against Newcastle and the Blades will be eager to get points on the board and to keep themselves in the top of the table.

8. Aston Villa – Leicester

Aston Villa host Leicester in a thrilling Sunday encounter at Villa Park and the VIllans will have to perform at their best if they are to get a result against the impressive Brendan Rogers’ side. Leicester won during the midweek to keep themselves on track with Liverpool and the Foxes are continuing to impress this season. Jamie Vardy and James Maddison are red hot on goalscoring form and both scored in the win against Watford. Aston Villa are performing well at Villa Park and the home side will be backed by the home fans which are enthusiastic ever. Our team is considering a draw and end of the good form of Leicester.

9. Brighton – Wolves

Brighton impressed during the midweek and won against Arsenal and now they face another team from the top of the table. This time is team on a high with a strong and experienced squad. Wolves are performing well and are close to the European places, but a fatigue is expected at some point because of the early start of the season and participation in the UEFA Europa League. Wolves are playing with their unique style of play and Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are sitting comfortably in the top of the league and it’s interesting to see whether the Portugal manager will resist temptation into moving to a bigger club. Our team was impressed by Brighton in the last few games and predicts home win or a draw.

10. West Ham – Arsenal

West Ham face Arsenal in a London derby where both teams are not enjoying the best of the season meaning that morale boosting win is a must for both sides. Manuel Pellegrini eased the pressure on himself by winning away at Chelsea and now will be hoping to get another result against bigger opposition. Freddie Ljunberg’s reign have not started not so well after draw against Norwich and loss against Brighton. The problems in defense remain and the Gunners need to improve if they want to qualify to Europe. The loss of confidence in Arsenal’s side is our main reason for thinking that West Ham will win this match.

Round 15 EPL Preview

1. Crystal Palace – Bournemouth

Crystal Palace entertain Bournemouth in a home match after finally getting a win in their last match against Burnley. Wilfried Zaha impressed during the away win and the Eagles leapfrogged Bournemouth by securing the 3 points. Now the 2 teams will clash in London with the Cherries in need of a win after 3 consecutive losses saw them drop in the table. Speculation over Eddie Howe’s future continued to grow and it remains to be seen whether he will remain in South England for more weeks.

Burnley will entertain champions Man City knowing that both teams will have disappointment to swallow after Burnely lost at home over the weekend and City only drew away at Newcastle. Jonjo Shelvey scored a late goal to cancel City’s lead and the champions lost more ground to Liverpool in the race to retain their title. Pep Guardiola will have to cope with the absence of Sergio Aguero and Jesus needs to start scoring if City are to remain close to their title rivals.

Leicester continue to impress and many people are comparing Brendan Rodgers’s side with the champion winning side a few years ago. The Foxes are the only team keeping pace with Liverpool and Jamie Vardy and co. will be hoping to have the same form at least until Boxing Day when they will face the Reds from Anfield at their stadium. James Maddison and Youri Tielemans continue to orchestrate the game from midfield and if Watford want to avoid a defeat, they will need to stop them.

Wolves entertain West Ham and the home side is sitting comfortably in the upper stages of the rankings after qualifying for the knockout stages of UEFA Europa League. Wolves rely on the goals of Raul Jimenez and if West Ham would want to get a good result, they will need to man mark him well. The Hammers secured and impressive win against Chelsea and 33-old David Martin made his debut in goal and kept an impressive clean sheet.

Jose Mourinho returns to his former club after securing back to back wins with his new side Tottenham. The home side is continue to struggle and the youngsters from Old Trafford can not live up the expectations. Back to back draws against Sheffield U and Aston Villa are continuing to make distance from the Top 4 and Man United’s point tally. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could become under pressure if he fails to establish United in the European places and for the time being it’s becoming more realistic.

The Chelsea manager will want to get a revenge because his Derby County side lost the Play-off final against Aston Villa in May. After the defeat, Lampard joined the team where he made a name as a footballer and his Chelsea revolution started to grow.

7. Southampton – Norwich

Southampton face yet another relegation candidate after winning against Watford over the weekend. The Saints will have to play against different teams involved in the relegation battle and must threat them as Cup finals. James Ward-Prowse scored the crucial goal to win the game for Ralph Hassenhuttl’s side against Watford. Norwich played well against Arsenal over the weekend but only managed to get a draw, but every point matters and the Canaries will fancy their chances.

8. Liverpool – Everton

Liverpool face Everton in another thrilling Merseysde derby when both teams are entering the match on a different form and mood. The Reds are unbeaten this season and aim to win the Premier League for the first time since it’s forming, and Jurgen Klopp is turning his side into a force to be reckoned. The Toffees lost at Leicester and the future of Marco Silva is doubtful and another defeat in the derby will certainly add pressure to the Portuguese manager.

Sheffield United are unbeaten in their away matches and are performing above expectations. The Blades already built strong foundation to stay up this season, but Chris Wylder will certainly demand more from his ambitious side. The Magpies managed to get a draw in their last match against Man City, but Steve Bruce’s side away form is not impressive so they should be wary of the threat the Blades are going to impose.

Arsenal will begin new era after the sacking of Unai Emery and the Gunners will certainly aiming to win the home match against Brighton after failing to win against Norwich in the weekend. Freddie Ljunberg will have to count on the wider squad involving experienced and youth players and inclusion of the likes of Ozil, Xhaka and David Luiz certainly shows that. Brighton deserved at least a point at Anfield after their impressive second half display and now the Seagulls will want to replicate the impressive performance.

Round 14 EPL Preview – November 2019

14-epl-review

1. Newcastle – Man City

Manchester City recovered from rivals defeat at the hands of Liverpool with an impressive display and win against Chelsea. Guardiola’s side qualified to the Knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League during midweek so they will be fully focused on their match against solid Newcastle. The Magpies are playing well in front of their passionate fans at St. James’ Park and Steve Bruce and his side will fancy their chances. It will be interesting to see how will the champions deal with the injury of Sergio Aguero after it was confirmed that the Argentine will miss out the next couple of weeks through injury.

2. Tottenham – Bournemouth

Jose Mourinho will play his first home league match at helm of Spurs against Bournemouth. Spurs need to turn their form into consistent one if they want to repeat their previous year’s good performance and consistent Top 4 finishes. Bournemouth lost 2 on trot after getting a famous win against Man United. Eddie Howe is being linked with high profile jobs in the past week so the speculation may not have positive influence on his young side. Knowing that Spurs will have great spirit and our team thinks they will play creatively in attack and create many chances which will result in many goals.

3. Burnley – Crystal Palace

Burnley will want to continue their fine form and build foundation on their Top 10 ranking with solid results won on their home soil. Sean Dyche’s men are with 2 wins on a row and impressed with a 3-0 win against Watford in the last round of the League. Palace are already 5 matches without a win and Roy Hodgson have to improve in order to stop the free fall of his team. Wilfried Zaha is instrumental for the Eagles and the talismanic winger need to perform better if the London side are to stop the bad form. Our team is considering that the match is going to be determined in small margin.

4. Chelsea – West Ham

Chelsea will want to continue the fine form in the league and to put even more pressure to Manuel Pellegrini and the struggling Hammers side. Frank Lampard’s young side lost at the hands of the champions Man City last week, but the Blues certainly made good value of their performance and now Mason Mount and co. will want establish Top 4 place by being very consistent at Stamford Bridge. Lampard is yet to find his best defensive partnership and our team is considering that West Ham under pressure will score at least a goal.

5. Liverpool – Brighton

The in-form side in the division will want to continue the 100% record and get another win at Anfield. The Reds had difficult target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow noopener noreferrer” time at Crystal Palace and won despite Mohamed Salah’s absence after international duty. The home match in the league will come soon after a European match against Napoli and Jurgen Klopp will most likely rotate his side. After the match on Saturday, the talismanic defender Virgin Van Dijk is likely to be named as major contender for the Player of the Year and become the first Liverpool player after Michael Owen to win the prestigious award. Brighton are not performing on top level in their away matches, so anything different from a big Liverpool win would come as major surprise.

6. Southampton – Watford

The Saints and Watford face each other in battle for points which are crucial for both teams. The home side haven’t won in 9 matches and the South Coast need to improve if they want to avoid the drop. In this classic 6-pointer they will face a team which considered changing their manager for second target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow noopener noreferrer” time this season. Watford suffered disappointing defeat against Burnley in the last match and now the Bees need to put better performance. Andre Gray played poorly against his former side in the last match and the striker is crucial if the away side will get a result from their visit at St. Mary’s Stadium. Knowing the importance of this match, our team is considering that there will not be many goals scored in this match.

7. Wolves – Sheffield United

The 2 sides which surprise the most this campaign face each other in an intriguing clash at Molineux on Sunday afternoon. Wolves having not tasted defeat in 8 matches and Nuno Espirito Santo’s team would want to continue the fine form after another crucial Euro match during the week. Mexican forward Raul Jimenez scored in each of the last 3 wins for the Midlands club and the striker would be crucial in the 3-centre halves battle with the Blades defence. Chris Wylder and his team are defying all odds this term by playing attractive football with their full backs and playing from the back. The attractive display put a great show against Man United last target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow noopener noreferrer” time round and the Blades are continuing to be undefeated away from home. Whether Wolves can break the deadlock, it’s up to be seen.

8. Norwich – Arsenal

Pressure on Unai Emery is mounting and even a win at Carrow Road in the away fixture against struggling Norwich side. The Gunners yet again failed to win against Southampton in their last league match and even the Saints deserved to win the match and now the London side need to answer a lot of questions. Emery and his side need to start picking wins not only to ease the pressure, but to keep the distance to the Top 4 if they want to finally return to the UEFA Champions League after a few years absence. Speculation in the media even linked Mauricio Pochettino to take charge over Spurs’ arch rivals.

9. Man United – Aston Villa

Man United are yet to convince their fans that their side is on a learning curve and that will improve in the near future. The young stars from the academy are certainly indication for improvement and would need target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow noopener noreferrer” time to build confidence and gain experience. Mason Greenwood and Brandon Williams both scored in the draw against Sheff United and now Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might rotate even more his side as the team need to travel to a far away Euro match against Astana. United will need to get the maximum points because in the following midweek, their former manager and his new Spurs side are visiting Old Trafford. Villa are shaky at the back and not convinced in their travels, so our team expects a solid home win.

10. Leicester – Everton

Two teams on different end of the league table and with contrast emotions will face each other in the last match of the Round 14 of the Premier league. The home side is on a 5-win form and continue to impress in the league. Brendan Rodgers are the team trying to catch Liverpool’s pace and the Foxes will want to continue their fine form against a very shaken Everton side. The Toffees were defeated at home against Norwich and team were heavily booed by their own fans. Everton hierarchy will have to take a difficult decision if they will stick with Marcos Silva after disappointing start of the season after solid investment in the past few transfer markets. Jamie Vardy and co will have no problem and probably will cause the sacking on the Everton Portuguese manager, according to our team.

Round 13 EPL Preview – November 2019

13-epl-review

1. West Ham – Tottenham

West Ham entertain Tottenham in a fierce London derby where both teams would desperately need to get the maximum points and kick-start their season. Both teams surprisingly found themselves in the wrong side of the table and both managers are coming in all sorts of pressure to deliver results soon. Harry Kane and co. are doing well in Europe and score for fun in the UEFA Champions League, but need to improve in the league as only 3 wins in 12 games is simply not good enough. It will be interesting to see how both teams will cope with most of their squad going away on international duties, with England sealing their place on next year’s European championships. Knowing the stake in this match, our team predicts a goal fiesta and high-scoring draw.

2. Bournemouth – Wolves

Eddie Howe and his Bournemouth side is continuing to surprise football experts when they found themselves in the top side of the table with a famous win against Man United the only win in their last 6 outings. Wolves improved after a slow start mainly caused by the early European commitments Nuno Espirito Santo and his team had to take. The away side is on a 7-match unbeaten run and managed to get some high-profile wins in the UEFA Europa League as well. Wolves got the bragging rights by winning the local derby against Aston Villa last time round and now Raul Jimenez and the rest of the attacking Midlands side would want to continue their fine form against Bournemouth. The Cherries have been solid at the back, so our team expect not so many chances and not high-scoring game.

3. Arsenal – Southampton

The pressure over Unai Emery is increasing with every single day and the Gunners must deliver results and must do it quickly. The Spaniard position is under threat and if the papers are to be believed, high profile manager such as Jose Mourinho could be considered to replace the Spaniard. Southampton and Ralph Hassenhuttl on other hand are having their own woes as the Saints are currently in the relegation zone and have recorded the most heaviest home defeat at the hands of Leicester City. The Saints do not look morally strong enough to compete after this drubbing and the South Coast team must improve if they want to get a result in the capital and lift themselves out of trouble. Knowing that both teams will play under pressure, our team thinks that this match will be won by a small margin for one of the sides which could lead to some big changes in the management.

4. Brighton – Leicester

High-flying Leicester City travel to South England being one of the teams in top form in the division and sitting on the impressive 2nd place. Brendan Rodgers and his team impress and are trying to break into Top 6 and secure European football for next season. Jamie Vardy is top goalscorer and the former England international seems to be repeating the form which helped the Foxes win sensationally the title in 2015. Brighton on the other hand are trying to find themselves but are very solid at home and managed to get 3 consecutive wins in their last 3 home matches. Everton and Tottenham were victims of the Seagulls and the South Coast time will be looking to continue their fine home form. Playing with a lot of confidence, our team suggest that Rodgers’ side will continue their rise in the league.

5. Crystal Palace – Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp and his champions’ hopefuls are traveling to South London to face Roy Hodgson and Crystal Palace after getting a valuable win against main title rivals Man City. The Reds are impressing in the early stages of the current season and are continuing the excellent form from the second part of previous season when they lifted the European Cup and lost the title by recording impressive 96 points. Crystal Palace lost to both Leicester and Chelsea in their last 2 home matches, so Liverpool would fancy their chances at Selhurst Park with only trouble would be the long distances the international players had to travel during the international break.

6. Everton – Norwich

The Toffees are having yet another not so impressive season and aspirations to break into Top 6 are being dealt a blow after series of disappointing results. Marco Silva’s position as usual is under threat and Everton need to start winning matches and scoring goals, so they need to improve to their 15th place at the minute. Richarlison is the main man in attack but he needs to receive support from his teammates. Norwich, after famously starting with few impressive displays including a win against Man City, have fell to a bad run and currently possess the last place in the ranking. The Canaries lost or drew their last 7 matches and according to our team, another defeat is on the cards on Goodison Park.

7. Watford – Burnley

Watford finally got their first win of the season when they won against fellow strugglers Norwich in the last round. The Bees have played well but didn’t managed to get the results they deserved, so the home match against Burnley is a good chance for get another 3 points. The Clarets are not doing good on their travels and lost their last 3 visits, but are solid on home ground and that is the reason Sean Dyche and his team doing so well and establishing themselves in the middle of the league without being dragged into relegation fight for another season.

8. Man City – Chelsea

In the derby of the round, Man City would look to restore their pride after loosing against their title rivals Liverpool before the international break. Pep Guardiola and his side definitely would want to forget the Anfield match with referees decisions, bad luck and errors in defense inflicted another defeat and slipping into 9 points behind league leaders. The Citizens need to act quick and to rally round against very impressive Chelsea side. Frank Lampard’s Blues are finding themselves after a slow start and the London club is definitely making good impressions in 6 consecutive wins. The young Chelsea side will look to benefit from injury problems at City’s back and lost in confidence, so our prediction is for a both teams to score match.

9. Sheffield United – Man United

Sheffield United are the headline of the season for the good reasons and Man United are quite the opposite. Chris Wylder’s side is sitting on 5th place without conceding a loss away at home. The Blades won their last 2 home matches against Arsenal and Burnley and definitely would like to keep the momentum going round Bramall Lane. Man United on another hand got a vital win against Brighton before the break and sit on 7th place but the way Solskjaer’s side less than impressive. The attacking trio in Martial, James and Rashford is one of the things working for the Red Devils and the visitors would like to exploit any spaces in the hosts final third. Sheffield United are playing with high pressure, so it’s interesting to see whether United can cope with their aggressive play. Our team thinks that both teams to score is pretty reasonable bet for the Sunday match.

10. Aston Villa – Newcastle

Aston Villa face Newcastle in a Monday Night Football at Villa Park wanting to establish themselves in the top of the table and not in the second half of it. Over 12+ signings maybe need more time to gel together as Dean Smith is willing to build a solid team around their start player Jack Grealish. The Magpies won their last 2 matches against Bournmouth and West Ham and Steve Bruce is building a strong team which will be fighting in the middle of the table.

Big clubs in crisis: Man United, Chelsea, Barcelona and AC Milan – what went wrong early on?

big-club-crisis

With almost the first two months rolling over since the beginning of the new season, WhaleBets team is looking into Europe’s elite’s championships and is analyzing big clubs having troubles early on. The sight of a big-spending club or club enjoyed great successes fail gives every neutral observer sense of intrigue and is always selling the papers, but not if you are a fan of this particular club in crisis. Of course, the level of calling a season “unsuccessful” or “a failure” it’s always been variable from different people’s point of perspective

1. Manchester United

  • English Premier League
  • Current ranking: 8th place
  • Current league form:

Man United

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s honeymoon period lasted just a few months at the end of the last season, and now the Norwegian is under some heavy criticism. Yes, he brought different approach after a turbulent reign of Jose Mourinho. The transfer window was disappointing as the rumours surrounding key players like Paul Pogba, David De Gea and others did no favours to the Ed Woodward and co. Transfers of Maguire and Wan-Bissaka addressed some issues in the defence. Having said that the sales of Sanchez, Lukaku and not renewing Herera’s contract and didn’t replacing them, left United to bare bones and being forced to rely on youngsters like Greenwood, Chang, Pereira, Daniel James and others. This is not mandatory to be a bad thing, but considering the competitiveness of the Premier League and the big ask to break into Top 4, it will be interesting to be seen whether the Carrington’s most exquisite starlets will fill the big boots of previous golden Red Devils’ generations. Surely, Ole will have plenty of time and backing from the board, but some fans raise their concern from the club top management and owners and whether they went into mediocrity after Sir Alex’s retirement.

2. Chelsea

  • English Premier League
  • Current ranking: 11th place
  • Current league form:

Chelsea

Frank Lampard came home, the Blues won the Europa League with Maurizio Sarri and qualified for the UEFA Champions League, but the beginning of the new era at the Bridge is certainly starting not up to a Top 4 standards. Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham along with other Chelsea youngsters are given a chance for a first-team run. Transfer embargo is certainly causing trouble to Roman Abramovich and his side, but the positive being players who are either frozen or sent on loan are now part of the first-team setup. 2 wins in the first 6 PL matches, combined with a disappointing collapse at home in the

Champions League against Valencia certainly left the fans scratching their heads thinking if Lampard made a considerable step managing club under big expectations. The young English manager enjoyed successful spell at Derby in the Championship previously, but now being at the helm where he made his name as a footballer, maybe the jump was too big even for the ambitious Frank. Only the season unfolding will tell.

3. Barcelona

  • Spanish La Liga
  • Current ranking: 6th place
  • Current league form:

Barcelona

The Catalan giants will be gunning for all trophies as usual but having conceded two losses in the first six matches of the new season is a worrying sigh. Many would say that the problems start with Leo Messi’s being injured, but maybe this is giving us a perspective of what will happen when the Argentinian legend eventually retires. If you are a Barca fan and laugh at such statement, look the damage of Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit on Real Madrid last season, and you will see why there is a reason to be concerned. After all, taking away 50+ goals a season can seriously damage your club’s ambitions. The likes of De Jong, Dembele, Griezmann and teen sensation Ansu Fati would have to settle pretty quickly on all fronts, as Barca always going for all tournaments involved. The UEFA Champions League group is a tricky one with Dortmund and Inter Milan, so the Catalans must fire all wheels and must do it quickly.

4. AC Milan

  • Italian Serie A
  • Current ranking: 13th place
  • Current league form:

AC Milan

The Milan giant is finding themselves in a tough start of the season. This combined with an impressive transfer summer for bitter rivals Juventus and Inter, usual solid performances from Napoli, Roma and Lazio and you can imagine that the Rossoneri is finding themselves down the pecking order not only for Top 4 finish but for European qualification spot as well. Marco Giampaolo joined from Sampdoria in the summer, bringing much needed Serie A experience. Milan was one of the teams under heavy criticism for breaking the Financial Fair Play. The Milano side even sacrificed their place in the UEFA Europa League to be in a much more favourable position this year. This gamble is yet to pay off, but as the first few rounds of the league suggest, AC Milan’s fans are in for a very long and hard drive this term. New signings like the Luka Jovic,Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao have a big task in their hands in forcing the Rossoneri up the table. Could this be finally Milan’s season or the downfall of once one of the greats football clubs in Europe continues in full swing?
