Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Preview Bayern to win Over 2.5 goals The UEFA Champions League group stage kicks off in Bavaria with a heavyweight clash as Bayern Munich host Chelsea in a rematch of the 2011/12 final. Bayern enter this contest in sparkling form, having won all five of their competitive matches this season. Their dominance has been especially evident at the Allianz Arena, where they’ve won both of their home fixtures by a combined 11-0. Confidence is understandably high, and history is on their side too: no club boasts a higher win rate in the Champions League group stage since…
Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid Preview Draw or Liverpool win Both teams to score Liverpool enter this fixture in dramatic fashion after once again needing late heroics to secure victory at the weekend. A stoppage-time penalty edged them past newly-promoted Burnley 1-0, marking the fourth consecutive game in which they have claimed all three points with a decisive goal beyond the 80th minute. That resilience is a hallmark of Arne Slot’s side and will fill the Anfield crowd with confidence as the Reds begin their 17th Champions League campaign. Liverpool topped the league phase last season, winning all four home games by…
Athletic Bilbao vs Arsenal Preview Draw or Arsenal win Both teams to score The Champions League returns to San Mamés for the first time in over a decade, as Athletic Club kick off their group stage campaign against Premier League giants Arsenal. Athletic earned their seat at Europe’s top table thanks to a fourth-place finish in La Liga last season, marking their first Champions League main draw appearance since 2014/15. That edition ended in disappointment at the group stage, but this time around there is renewed optimism following a strong Europa League run last term which ended in the semi-finals.…
Tottenham vs Villarreal Preview Spurs to win Over 1.5 goals Tottenham begin their Champions League journey looking to prove that their UEFA Europa League triumph last season was no fluke. Having lifted their first European silverware since the 1980s, expectations are now higher, and boss Thomas Frank enters his first-ever UEFA group phase with the challenge of balancing continental ambition with domestic improvement. This is also a landmark season for Spurs, who for the first time since 2011/12 enter Europe without either Harry Kane or Son Heung-min leading the line. Despite those departures, Tottenham have found ways to score goals in…
Matchday 4 Awards Plenty of Premier League teams felt the international break hangover this past weekend, with quite a few performances impacted by the first time this season that club football took a backseat. The best example of this is the FIVE games which failed to bring us at least three goals this round. That does not happen often… Everton vs Aston Villa and Palace vs Sunderland both ended in blank draws, while Fulham, Newcastle and Liverpool only mustered 1-0 wins over Leeds, Wolves and Burnley, respectively. Elsewhere, Manchester City blew away local rivals United 3-0, Arsenal recorded the same…
Premier League Recap: Chelsea Denied, Spurs Climb, Arsenal Cruise and More Brentford 2-2 Chelsea Chelsea were denied victory at the Gtech Community Stadium as substitute Fabio Carvalho struck a dramatic 93rd-minute equaliser for Brentford. The 23-year-old bundled home from Kevin Schade’s long throw, just minutes after coming on. The Bees had led through Schade’s composed 35th-minute finish following Jordan Henderson’s long pass. Chelsea’s response came after the break, with substitute Cole Palmer volleying in just after the hour. Late on, fellow substitute Alejandro Garnacho set up Moises Caicedo, who drilled past Caoimhin Kelleher in the 85th minute to turn the…
Manchester City vs Manchester United Preview Draw or Manchester City win Both teams to score The international break came at an unusual time for Manchester City, who returned to league action having lost successive matches for the first time since 2018. A 2-0 defeat at home to Tottenham left them on just three points from three matches, the lowest tally ever posted by a Pep Guardiola team at this stage of a league season. Should they fall short again here, it would be the first time City have lost three of their opening four Premier League games since the relegation…
Burnley vs Liverpool Preview Liverpool to win Over 3.5 goals Burnley’s return to the Premier League has been unkind in terms of fixtures, with three of their opening four matches coming against traditional members of the so-called ‘Big Six.’ That run continues here as they welcome reigning champions Liverpool to Turf Moor. Scott Parker’s side have taken three points from their opening three games (W1, L2), which, given the calibre of opposition they have faced, is not the worst possible return. Before the international break, Burnley pushed Manchester United all the way in a 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford. Parker…
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Preview Arsenal to win Over 2.5 goals Arsenal return to Premier League action at the Emirates aiming to bounce back from their narrow 1-0 defeat at Anfield before the international break. While the loss to Liverpool was their first stumble of the campaign, it exposed once again how injuries can seriously impact their rhythm. Mikel Arteta’s men have already been stretched by a lengthy absentee list, which threatens to derail their title push before momentum even builds. The Gunners still remain among the favourites for the crown, but consistency will be key if they are to turn…
Everton vs Aston Villa Preview Everton to win Over 1.5 goals for Everton The September international break provided a brief pause to reflect, but Everton will want to pick up right where they left off. The Toffees come into this clash on the back of three consecutive competitive victories, a run that has transformed the mood around the club following an opening-day defeat at Leeds. David Moyes has already been recognised for his team’s form, earning a nomination for Manager of the Month, while midfielder Jack Grealish was nominated for Player of the Month after a string of creative masterclasses.…
