Predicted Line-up
David de Gea starts in three key changes, Predicted Manchester United line-up vs Roma
Manchester United will welcome Roma to Old Trafford for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday night. The Red Devils played out a frustrating 0-0 Premier League draw against Leeds United on the road last weekend. Despite this, they are in a comfortable position in the Champions League race. A single win from the final five games should secure their top-four spot. They are scheduled to host Roma in the Europa League tomorrow and are favourites for the game with the Serie A outfit on a three-match winless run. This will be the seventh meeting between the sides and the first since 2008. Roma have lost four of those encounters, including their last three trips to Old Trafford. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Since March, Dean Henderson has emerged as the regular ...
Lacazette and Aubameyang return, Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Villarreal
Arsenal travel to El Madrigal for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie against Villarreal on Thursday night. The Gunners have not had an ideal preparation for the game after a disappointing 1-0 league defeat to Everton. A Bernd Leno howler gifted the points to the Toffees. However, Villarreal are not in the best of form either. The Spanish outfit take on the Gunners on the back of successive defeats in La Liga. The game will see the reunion of the Gunners with former boss Unai Emery, who is now the head coach of the Yellow Submarines. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Leno cost the club dearly with an own goal last week, and he will be aiming to make amends. Mikel Arteta is unlikely to drop him for Mat Ryan despite the latter impressing in his two appearances for the clu...
Cavani and Pogba start, Predicted Manchester United line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Leeds United
Manchester United make the trip to Elland Road for Sunday’s early Premier League kick-off against Leeds United. The Red Devils are in the driving seat to finish in the top four. They are second in the standings with an 11-point lead over fifth-placed West Ham United. They can put themselves on the cusp of Champions League qualification if they beat Marcelo Bielsa’s side on the road tomorrow. The reverse meeting at Old Trafford saw them win by a comfortable 6-2 scoreline. Scott McTominay starred with a brace scored within the first three minutes. A victory would act as ideal preparation for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie against Roma on Thursday night. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Dean Henderson has emerged as the first-choice goalkeeper for the league games si...
Martinelli starts, Arteta to make seven changes | Predicted Arsenal line-up vs Sheffield United
Arsenal make the trip to Bramall Lane for Sunday’s late Premier League kick-off against Sheffield United. The Gunners were disappointing last weekend against Liverpool where they suffered a 3-0 league loss at the Emirates Stadium. This was followed by another sub-standard display against Slavia Prague in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday night. They squandered multiple clear-cut scoring chances. Nicolas Pepe eventually opened the scoring in the 86th minute, but Slavia levelled in the final minute of stoppage time. The north London club must now score in the reverse meeting against Slavia, or they will be eliminated from the European competition. With the importance of that game, manager Mikel Arteta may ring in the changes for the Yorkshire trip to face the Bla...
Mikel Arteta to make five changes | Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Slavia Prague
Arsenal will aim to bounce back from the embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Liverpool when they host Slavia Prague in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final tomorrow. The Gunners are favourites for the European tie, but they can’t underestimate their opponents, who have beaten Leicester City and Rangers in the previous rounds. Ahead of the game, they have been boosted by the availability of Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Granit Xhaka after their respective fitness concerns. However, Kieran Tierney is out for several weeks with a knee ligament injury, while Martin Odegaard is doubtful with an ankle problem sustained on international duty. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Bernd Leno remains the Gunners’ regular choice in goal, but his performances have been questionable over t...
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to make two changes | Expected Man United line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Granada
Manchester United are scheduled to face Granada on the road in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie on Thursday night. The Red Devils returned from the international break with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. Marcus Rashford picked up a knock during the backend of the game, and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that he has yet to decide whether to start him. Meanwhile, it has also been confirmed that Anthony Martial is set to miss the rest of the campaign after the knee injury sustained on France duty last month. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Dean Henderson appears to have established himself as the regular goalkeeper in the Premier League ahead of David de Gea. De Gea has not featured in the last seven games (three...
Thomas Tuchel to make five changes | Predicted Chelsea line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Porto
Chelsea make the trip to Lisbon on Wednesday for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Porto. The Blues resumed Premier League action after the international break on Saturday, where they suffered an embarrassing 5-2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion. They were down to 10 men after just 29 minutes on the clock, but the nature of defeat was a surprise given their solid defensive record under Thomas Tuchel. The loss ended a 15-match unbeaten run across all competitions, and the Blues will be aiming to make amends with a strong display against Porto. The west London outfit comfortably cruised past Atletico Madrid with a 3-0 aggregate triumph in the round of 16 of the competition. They are favourites for Wednesday’s encounter, but they can’t underestimate opponents who...
Lacazette and Chambers start, Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Liverpool
Arsenal host Liverpool in today’s late Premier League kick-off from the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have improved their league form since the turn of the year, although they have remained inconsistent. Their last match was a thriller as they came from three goals down to register a 3-3 draw at West Ham United. The Reds are in a poor run of form themselves with only six points (two wins) accumulated from the last five games. Their away record against the Gunners has been dismal, with only two wins from their previous 20 league meetings. The Gunners have the chance to capitalise on a weak Reds backline and keep their slender top-four hopes alive. They are currently nine points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea with 10 games to play. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Bernd Leno has been t...
Solskjaer to make seven changes, Expected Manchester United line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brighton
Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Red Devils went into the international break in a disappointing fashion as they lost 3-1 to Leicester City in the FA Cup quarter-final. It was their first defeat in 15 matches in all competitions, and they will be aiming to make amends when the Seagulls make the trip to Manchester. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are presently in a solid position to make the top four with an eight-point gap over fifth-placed West Ham United. They have an excellent chance to extend the advantage against the Seagulls after Chelsea’s shock 5-2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Dean Henderson has been the preferred choice in goal for six games for U...
Giroud and Hudson-Odoi start, Predicted Chelsea line-up (3-4-3) vs Atletico Madrid
Chelsea host Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday night. The Blues have been in fine form since Thomas Tuchel took charge as the manager in January and are unbeaten in 12 matches. They go into tomorrow’s clash with the away-goal advantage after the 1-0 win in Romania. Olivier Giroud scored the winner with a superb overhead kick. The goal was initially deemed offside, but after a long VAR review, it was adjudged that Atletico defender Mario Hermoso played the ball into Giroud’s path. Formation: 3-4-3 Predicted Line-up: Edouard Mendy kept his 14th clean sheet of the league campaign last weekend as the Blues drew 0-0 at Leeds United. He had to work hard for the shut-out after he produced two excellent saves. He is expected to continue in goal. Tuchel ...
Amad and Shaw start, Predicted Manchester United line-up (4-2-3-1) vs West Ham United
Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host West Ham United in the Premier League this evening. The Red Devils produced a disappointing showing in midweek as they drew 1-1 against AC Milan in the first leg of the Europa League last 16. Both Harry Maguire and Daniel James missed golden chances to find the back of the net and that could come to haunt them in the return leg at San Siro. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side must score against the Rossoneri on the road to have any chance of reaching the last eight of the competition. Prior to that, their focus will be on the league meeting against the Hammers, whom they have beaten twice in the season already (league and FA Cup). The club are dealing with several injury concerns and it could be a tricky game against the Ham...
Johnson and Benrahma start, Predicted West Ham line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Man United
West Ham United make the trip to Old Trafford on Sunday for a big Premier League clash against Manchester United. The Hammers have already met the Red Devils on two occasions this term (league and FA Cup) and have been on the losing side twice. The reverse league meeting finished in a 3-1 victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, but the Hammers were dominant throughout the first half. They had several clear-cut chances to find the back of the net at the London Stadium but ended up with a slender 1-0 lead at the interval. David Moyes’ side paid the price in the second half as the Red Devils were by far the better team after the hour mark and sealed the three points. For Sunday’s game, Moyes may go with a 3-4-2-1 formation with wing-backs, which worked with good effect against Manchester Cit...
