Manchester United vs Newcastle Premier League - December 26, 2014

Manchester United vs Newcastle United
Competition: English Premier League
Match date: Friday, 26 December 2014
Kick Off Time: 15:00 GMT
Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester, United Kingdom

Man United have been in fine form lately as they finally have built chemistry with each other after buying up some of the world’s best talent. Not losing over their last 7 EPL matches, including a 6 game winning streak that unfortunately ended last Saturday at Aston Villa in a 1-1 draw, has found them sitting comfortably in 3rd position after 17 rounds of league play. David De Gea will look to add to his 4 Clean Sheets over 9 home matches as they play one of the weaker road offenses in the English Premier League. Rademel Falcao will want to add to his 2 goal tally after scoring a fine header last weekend at Aston Villa. Wayne Rooney will lead the attack that has managed an impressive 19 goals over 9 Home games this season. Look for this scoring success to continue on Boxing Day as Manchester United will need to continue building up their new identity under new manager Louis Van Gaal if they are to keep up with the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea FC in the title race. Injuries to the defense shouldn’t bother them much as they allow a mere .66 goals per home match to visiting opponents.

Newcastle team have lost their last 3 matches in all competitions and they won’t have much hope of changing this trend in Old Trafford’s hostile environment. They have only scored 8 goals in 9 away games while allowing a dismal 14 in that span. Playing a Manchester United team that has only allowed 6 goals at home, Newcastle United stand little chance of scoring in this match as they have only put away 1 goal over their last 3 games. Ayoze Perez will draw the start at striker with a huge task of scoring for his side and hopefully surprising everyone in Manchester. He has 4 goals in Premier League play this season and Newcastle will do everything they can to implement a way to get him in goal-scoring position on Boxing Day this Friday. Newcastle have to play within themselves to have a chance but it is not expected to help them much against the deadly Man United attack.

Probable lineups:

Manchester United: de Gea – Jones, Carrick, Evans – Valencia, Fletcher, di Maria, Young – Rooney – Falcao, van Persie.

Newcastle United: Alnwick – Janmaat, S. Taylor, Coloccini, Dummett – Anita, Colback – Sissoko, Cabella, Ameobi – Papis Cisse.

Cagliari vs Juventus Italian Serie A - December 18, 2014

Cagliari vs Juventus - Competition: Italian Serie A

Cagliari team are an unpredictable team with an offensive way of play, imposed by their new coach Zeman, that demands a lot of movement from his team. Considering only the away matches of this season, Cagliari would be on the 9th place with 2 wins gained in Milan against Inter Milan (4-1) and in Empoli (4-0), 3 draws and 3 defeats. But Zeman‘s team didn’t win at home this season yet and are the worst home team in the entire Calcio, even Parma and Cesena won at least once at home. All the soccer experts know the battle that Zeman fought against the old style Juventus with their corruption issues, and for him and his fans, a win on Thursday evening would feel like a Scudetto.

Juventus are once again the Serie A leader in all categories after 15 rounds: points, goals scored and clean sheets, even though they are coming from two consecutive draws, what has never happened in the last couple of years. In fact, Massimiliano Allegri and his team were not able to defeat Fiorentina (0-0) and Sampdoria (1-1) in the last two Italian Serie A matches. On Thursday, they will face Cagliari where they didn’t lose since 2009. After that match, the Bianconeri will travel to Doha to clash SSC Napoli on Monday for the Italian Super Cup Trophy. In Cagliari, Bonucci will miss the match due to suspension and Allegri hopes to recover Caceres and Baragli.

Probable lineups:
Cagliari: Cragno – Balzano, Ceppitelli, Rossettini, Avelar – Crisetig, Conti, Ekdal – Farias, Ibarbo, Cossu.
Juventus: Buffon – Lichtsteiner, Ogbonna, Chiellini, Evra – Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba – Vidal – Llorente, Tevez.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Premier League 14-12-2014

Manchester United vs Liverpool
Competition: English Premier League
Match date: Sunday, 14 December 2014
Kick Off Time: 13:30 GMT
Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester, United Kingdom

Manchester United have earned their spot in the top three of the English Premiere League table over the last few weeks. They’ve won each of their last five matches, but not all have been with conviction. The Red Devils have had luck on their side in their matches against Arsenal and Southampton. Nonetheless, Manchester United has taken third place and will not be eager to give it away so quickly. Also, despite their consistent defensive woes, some positive news has surfaced for United as Phil Jones has recently returned to training, yet it is unlikely that his first re-appearance will be against Liverpool on Sunday.

Liverpool were off to a great start to their 2014/2015 campaign, but have fallen off hard recently and are in dire need of a spark to turn their season back around. The Reds were only just recently knocked out of Champions League competition after their match with FC Basel on Tuesday. A stunning 81^st minute equalizer from Steven Gerrard was not enough to give Liverpool the points they needed to accompany Real Madrid through into the knock-out stages. Liverpool are in 9^th place currently, but this is a crucial game for the Reds to earn points because they could either climb as far as 6 or fall as far as 12.

Probable lineups:

Manchester United: de Gea – Evans, Carrick, Rojo – Valencia, Fellaini, Herrera, Young – Mata – Rooney, van Persie.

Liverpool: Mignolet – Johnson, Lovren, Skrtel, Moreno – Henderson, Lucas – Sterling, Gerrard, Lallana – Lambert.

Barcelona vs PSG Champions League December 10, 2014

FC Barcelona vs Paris Saint-Germain
Competition: UEFA Champions League, Group F  

Match date: 10 December 2014
Kick Off Time: 19:45 GMT
Venue: Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain

In the 5th round, Lionel Messi became the record UEFA Champions League goalscorer and Luis Suarez opened his account for Barcelona as the Catalan giants cruised to a 4-0 win over APOEL Nicosia. Suarez put Barca ahead with his first goal for the club since his 64 million-pound summer move from Liverpool before Lionel Messi took centre-stage with a hat trick (all with his less-favoured right foot). In the last La Liga match, FC Barcelona came from behind to thump crosstown rivals Espanyol 5-1 last weekend, with a hat-trick from Lionel Messi plus goals from Gerard Pique and Pedro. Barcelona have won in their last 7 games in 3 competitions, in which they scored a total of 23 goals.

PSG team maintained their position at the top of UEFA Champions League Group F with a 3-1 win over AFC Ajax at a wet and windy Parc des Princes last round. The French champions saw off their Dutch visitors, but it wasn’t as comfortable a win as the scoreline suggests. Edinson Cavani scored twice either side of a superb Zlatan Ibrahimovic strike, but the Amsterdam side did tally through Davy Klaasen. In their last Ligue 1 match, Paris Saint-Germain didn’t play to their full potential, but star man Zlatan Ibrahimovic bailed them out with a match-winning performance and some key goals. The French champions came from behind to beat FC Nantes 2-1 at the Parc des Princes. The match brings Laurent Blanc, the Paris coach and former FC Barcelona player, back to the Camp Nou while Thiago Motta, Maxwell and Zlatan Ibrahimović also return.

Probable lineups:
Barcelona: Bravo – Dani Alves, Pique, Mathieu, Jordi Alba – Rakitic, Busquets, Xavi – Suarez, Messi, Neymar.
PSG: Sirigu – van der Wiel, David Luiz, Thiago Silva, Maxwell – Lucas, Verratti, Matuidi, Pastore – Cavani, Ibrahimovic.

Barcelona last 5 matches:

22/11/14 Barcelona 5 – 1 Sevilla
25/11/14 APOEL 0 – 4 Barcelona
30/11/14 Valencia 0 – 1 Barcelona
03/12/14 Huesca 0 – 4 Barcelona
07/12/14 Barcelona 5 – 1 Espanyol

Liverpool FC vs Basel Champions League 09-12-2014

Liverpool FC vs Basel - Competition: Champions League

Liverpool have admittedly begun to turn around their poor form, and after going 4 consecutive matches without a defeat, the Reds will be in full confidence headed into their midweek clash with Basel. However, in their previous meeting, Liverpool were clearly missing their departed striker Luis Suarez and their injured hit-man Daniel Sturridge, as Basel held them to a shut out to claim a vital 3 points. But the hosts pulled themselves back into contention with a 2:2 draw against Ludogorets, though they admittedly blew the chance at all 3 points by conceding late into the match. It came as no surprise to anyone who has followed the Reds this season, as their defence has been in shambles all year. They were able to mask their defensive woes last term with a high-flying attack, but now they have been forced to play with Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli, both of whom have shown flashes of ability but have largely disappointed in their debut season with the club. The Englishman will likely get the start once again, and he must be clinical against a stern defence that has conceded just 2 Champions League goals since getting whacked by Real Madrid 5:1 on opening day. While we like Liverpool’s chances of advancing to the next round, they just seem destined for mediocrity until they can get some of the new players firing and their goal-machine striker Daniel Sturridge back from injury.

Basel team must love getting matched up with English opposition in the UCL, where they have lost just 1 of their 9 meetings with English clubs. They have already conquered Liverpool this year at home 1:0, as a Marco Streller goal was the difference in a match that saw them shut down the offensively-challenged Reds. Led by talented 22-year-old centre-back Fabian Schar, the defence has been excellent since getting dismantled by Real Madrid on opening day (1:5). They have conceded just 9 goals in their last 16 competitive fixtures, including containing Madrid despite falling in defeat 0:1. Considering how ineffective Liverpool’s offense has been this season, the visitors will be confident of their chances at claiming 2nd place. While they don’t need to win the match to advance, they have won on 7 of their last 8 competitive outings, managing to keep 5 clean sheets in the process. This match could admittedly go very badly for the Swiss club, but with such a strong defence and an experienced striker in Marco Streller to lead them, we fancy this match ending in a draw to send them through to the knockout round.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Premier League 03-12-2014

Chelsea FC vs Tottenham Hotspur - Competition: English Premier League

Chelsea team were halted on the road over the weekend when they traveled to the Stadium of Light to take on Sunderland. The Black Cats had won their previous 2 meetings with Chelsea, including a historic road victory last season at Stamford Bridge to end manager Jose Mourinho’s home unbeaten streak in the Premier League. While Chelsea managed to avoid defeat this go-around, they were held to their first scoreless match all season (20 competitive fixtures). Mourinho hailed Sunderland’s stubborn defending but failed to point out the fact that his troops easily could’ve lost the game. But the result alone is what matters and Chelsea remain invincible through 13 Premier League rounds. However, they have been dealt bad news here with the suspension of hot-headed Diego Costa, who picked up his 5th yellow card of the season. But the Spaniard was arguably lucky to have avoided red, and his quick temper won’t do him any favors in the physical English top-flight. Nevertheless, Didier Drogba has been in fine form and should be able to carry the torch this midweek. Furthermore, look for midfield passmaster Cesc Fabregas to be able to find more success than he did last time out against Lee Cattermole and the feisty Black Cats.

Tottenham are rapidly improving after a series of troubling results in the English Premier League saw them pick up just 5 points through 7 league matches. But manager Mauricio Pochettino is beginning to convince his players to buy into his system, and their form has taken a drastic turn for the better. They have now won 3 of their last 4 Premier League contests while claiming victory in 6 of their last 7 matches in all competitions. But before their weekend clash with Everton last time out, the Hotspurs had yet to bag a win against a top 5 club from last term. But an unlikely hero in Soldado popped up to steal all of the points in just their 2nd league win in 6 tries at White Hart Lane, as the Spaniard smashed in his first goal in the Premier League since March. He may have not had a great overall game but if he can find his scoring boots for the striker-hungry club, there’s no telling where he can take this team. However, the fixture list isn’t kind to them this midweek as they will turn around and travel to Stamford Bridge to face the odds-on favorites to win the title. They were thrashed last season by the hosts 4:0 in West London, and while there shouldn’t be a repeat of that scoreline here, defeat will be a difficult thing to avoid for the traveling North Londoners.

Probable lineups:

Chelsea FC: Courtois – Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta – Matic, Fabregas – Willian, Oscar, Hazard – Remy.

Tottenham: Lloris – Naughton, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies – Bentaleb, Mason – Lamela, Paulinho, Eriksen – Soldado.
