RB Leipzig vs Manchester United: Preview and Team News

Manchester United will be looking to book their place when they face RB Leipzig on Tuesday night in Germany. All Manchester United, PSG, and Leipzig are on 9 points in Group H. And with both Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain, these three teams will look to make it to the top 2. Before losing to French giants PSG, Leipzig impressively reached the semi-finals of last season's Champions League. But they are incredibly inexperienced at this level of football-actually playing in only their third group-stage campaign. Leipzig played an exciting 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday. They will look to stop Manchester United and advance for the knockout round stages. Although a draw would also be enough if PSG lost to Basaksehir in the other match in the group. A...

Liverpool vs Wolves: Team News and Preview

Liverpool will play in front of their own fans for the first time since being crowned champions, as 2,000 supporters return against Wolves. Former wolves forward Diogo Jota will be hoping to get one over his former teammates. Jurgen Klopp's side head into the weekend with just a goal difference holding them off the top of the table. But with Chelsea's win taking them ahead, the Reds will be trying to get back to the top. If Wolves break the Reds' long unbeaten run at home, they could climb to within only one point of their opponents. The imperious record of Liverpool at home is one thing that has not changed in the absence of supporters. Their unbeaten streak now stands at 64 games. It’s the second-longest such run in English football history-although they have won 29 of their la...

All he had to do was simply had to tap it into the net to make it 1-0. The goal seemed to enliven Barca, who for the remainder of the half were firmly in charge. Except for Martin Braithwaite's close miss, the visitors could not score and went into the half-time break trailing. Koeman rang the changes at half-time in an attempt to spark his team. Pedri replaced Oscar Mingueza and Ousmane Dembele came on for Philippe Coutinho. Messi played in Jordi Alba and his shot from a...

Lampard's managerial meetings with Marcelo Bielsa and Leeds always seem to be notable; Spygate to the Championship playoffs and now to the return of fans. Chelsea certainly look like more credible challengers now than they did earlier this season, which is largely down to their improvement in defence. Meanwhile Leeds have proven themselves more than capable of breaching the...
