<strong>PSG vs Real Madrid</strong> - Competition: <strong>UEFA Champions League </strong><br /> Date: <strong>18 September 2019</strong> - Kick-off Time:<strong> 20:00 BST </strong><br /> Venue: <strong>Parc des Princes</strong></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
PSG have enjoyed a typically promising start to the new season in
France. Thomas Tuchel's men have won 6 and lost 1 of their 7 competitive
games so far, building up a 2 point lead at the top of the Ligue 1
table in the process. They only beat lowly visitors Strasbourg at the
weekend with a 92nd-minute Neymar goal. Les Parisiens were knocking out
in unbelievable fashion once again last year. 2-0 up after the first leg
at Old Trafford and heavy favourites to go through against an unproven
Manchester UTD side, they slumped out with a 3-1 defeat at the Parc des
Princes sealed by a last-gasp penalty for the Red Devils. Two seasons
ago, these two sides collided in the UCL round of 16, which saw Los
Blancos winning 5-2 on aggregate on their way to the title. PSG have not
lost a home group stage clash in the Champions League since 2004 with
that run stretching over 21 matches. <br />Thomas Tuchel is also
missing Neymar, with the Brazilian carrying over a three-game ban after
his post-match reaction following PSG’s defeat to Manchester United in
the round of 16 last season. Strikers Kylian Mbappe and Edison Cavani
are sidelined. The German manager will also be without Julian Draxler,
Thilo Kehrer and Colin Dagba, so new signing Mauro Icardi could make his
debut from the off for the French side. The Inter Milan loanee should
be supported by a trio of offensive midfielders - Angel Di Maria, Pablo
Sarabia and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. The likes of Idrissa Gueye and
Marco Verratti are likely to start in midfield, with Ander Herrera and
Marquinhos viable alternatives. In defense, Abdou Diallo and Presnel
Kimpembe are in contention for a starting berth as centre-back.<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Real have remained unbeaten so far in their La Liga campaign. After
winning their opening match, the Blancos recorded two consecutive draws.
Valladolid denied them three points with an 88th-minute equaliser to
cancel out Karim Benzema's late opener, and they were twice behind at
Villarreal before grabbing a 2-2 draw. After the international break,
Zinedine Zidane's men returned last weekend with a hard fought 3-2
victory over Levante at home. The Galacticos also exited the Champions
League in disastrous fashion last season. Returning to the Bernabeu with
a 2-1 lead from the first leg in Amsterdam, Zinedine Zidane watched his
side capitulate against Ajax's young pretenders, who beat them 4-1. <br />Real
Madrid team captain Sergio Ramos and Nacho, are suspended for the Paris
match, meaning that Eder Militao will partner Raphael Varane at the
heart of the back. Isco, Federico Valverde, Marco Asensio, and Luka
Modric will also miss the match because of injuries. As a result, James
Rodriguez should be safe to start for Zinedine Zidane's side. Up front,
Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale are not 100% fit, meaning that Vinicius
Junior and Lucas Vazquez are favoruite to flank Karim Benzema. Thibaut
Courtois will hope to fend off competition from summer signing Alphonse
Areola to start in goal. </div>

<strong>Tottenham vs Liverpool</strong> - Competition: <strong>UEFA Champions League</strong><br /> Date: <strong>1 June 2019</strong> - Kick-off Time:<strong> 20:00 BST </strong><br /> Venue: <strong>Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid</strong></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Tottenham team produced a remarkable comeback in the semi-final of the UCL. They were trailing 2-0 against Ajax at the Amsterdam
Arena and 3-0 on aggregate before Lucas Moura sealed a last-gasp
hat-trick to eliminate the Eredivisie champions, with the third goal
scored in the 95th minute. They escaped the stage group because of goal
difference, and only managed to earn one point from their first three
group games. Spurs' recent form is really poor as Mauricio Pochettino's
men have lost 5 of their last 8 outings and only kept one clean sheet in
the proces (a narrow win over Brighton). <br />Tottenham will be
hoping that Kane is fit to play in this final, if only as a
substitute. Son Heung Min is expected to lead the line, supported by
three offensive midfielders - Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Lucas
Moura. With Harry Winks out through injury and Eric Dier not 100% fit,
Moussa Sissoko and Victor Wanyama are likely to anchor the midfield.
Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen are expected to form the central
pair in a 4-2-3-1 starting system. while Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose
should be the full backs. Ben Davies and Davinson Sanchez are other
options at the back, while Serge Aurier remain out through injury.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Liverpool also produced a miracle to reach this UCL final
in Madrid. The Reds were 3-0 down against FC Barcelona after the first leg
in Spain but they hammered 4-0 the Catalans at Anfield despite playing
without Salah and Firmino. As to the Premier League, Jurgen Klopp's men
were narrowly pipped by Manchester City in the race for the title,
although they lose just once in the entire campaign. The Reds' last
match ended in a 2-0 win over Wolves on the final day of the season,
meaning that Jurgen Klopp's men finished the league with 9 straight
wins. As to direct encounters, the Reds have only lost one of their last
14 games played against Tottenham.<br />Roberto Firmino missed the
final games of the season but is expected to be fit for this game. The
Brazilian should complete the usual attacking trio along with Sadio Manè
and Mo Salah, with the unexpected hero Divock Origi likely to play at
some stage. The three man midfield will be formed by Fabinho (favourite
over James Milner), Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum since Naby
Keita is still injured. No changes are expected at the back, where Joel
Matip should get the nod over Dejan Lovren and join the likes of Andrew
Robertson, Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.<strong> </strong></div>

<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Bayern Munich vs Liverpool </strong>- Competition: <strong>UEFA Champions League</strong><br /> </div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Bayern team have retaken top spot in the German Bundesliga on goal
difference for the first time since September, winning their last two
games against M'Gladbach and Wolfsburg by 5-1 and 6-0
scorelines respectively. The Bavarians are on a 7 match winning streak
at the Allianz Arena and also boast a dominant record on home turf in
this competition, winning 21 of 26 matches since 2014/15. This year, in a
potentially tricky Champions League group, Kovacs men were twice held
to draws by Ajax but picked up four wins in their other four games to
finish top of the group.<br />The Bavarians are still without two
suspended players: Thomas Muller - sent off for a poor tackle on Ajax's
Nicolas Tagliafico in the final round of group matches - and right-back
Joshua Kimmich. Rafinha will come in at right-back, while Serge Gnabry
may play as right winger to enable Franck Ribery to replace Muller. Of
course, Robert Lewandowski will lead the line. Hummels and Niklas
Sule should be the starting centre backs, while Thiago and
Javi Martinez are likely to anchor the midfield. The likes of Corentin
Tolisso and Kingsley Coman remain out through injury while Arjen Robben
is a major doubt.</div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">

<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Liverpool's EPL title charge has stuttered over the course of
the past few weeks. They played out successive away draws against
Manchester United and Everton, both finishing 0-0, and beat Watford
(5-0) and Burnley (4-2 last weekend) in the last two home fixtures. The
Reds have not been quite as ruthless going forwards in recent games.
Salah & Co have only scored one away goal in this season’s UCL, and hit the net just three times in their last six on the road.
The Reds may have been lacking for output in recent matches, but
knowing how crucial an away goal could be decisive. On the other side of
the pitch, Jurgen Klopp's men have the best defensive record in the
Premier League (17 goals), and they haven't conceded more than one goal
in an away game since a 2-1 English FA Cup defeat at Wolves in early January.<br />James
Milner and Trent Alexander-Arnold should be available for selection on
Wednesday despite suffering muscle tightness last time out. The former
should complete the four man backline alongside Virgil Van Dijk, Joel
Matip and Andre Robertson while the latter should be benched as the
likes of Georginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson are expected
to start in the middle of the park. No changes are expected up front
with Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Manè spearheading the attack.
Adam Lallana is a viable option in midfield after a good performance
last weekend. Xherdan Shaqiri and Daniel Sturridge could also play at
some stage in case of need. Joe Gomez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are
the only injury absentees.</div>

<strong>Manchester United vs PSG </strong>- Competition: <strong>UEFA Champions League</strong><br /> </div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Man Utd have won 10 of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first 11
unbeaten matches in charge, including a 3-0 away win at Fulham last
weekend. That result saw the Red Devils climb into the top 4, meaning
that they have enjoyed a 12-point swing - in less than two months -
which now leaves them one point above both Arsenal and Chelsea in the
Premier League standings. Solskjaer's men engineered victories away to
Tottenham and Arsenal and scored a whopping 28 goals in the process. As
to the Champions League, Manchetser United finished as runners up to Juventus in
Group H and 2 of their 3 wins came home and away against Young Boys.<br />Victor
Lindelof is set to return after missing Saturday’s league game with a
slight knock but may face a battle to win his place back from Phil Jones
and Chris Smalling at the heart of the defence. Marcus Rashford, Ashley
Young and Jesse Lingard will also return to the starting XI after being
rested at the weekend while Anthony Martial has cemented a starting
berth in the front trio following his stunning performance against
Fulham. No changes are expected in midfield with Ander Herrera and Paul
Pogba flanking Nemanja Matic. Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian are
long-term absentees, while Marcos Rojo is the major doubt for the hosts.</div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br />PSG team
may be flying clear at the top of Ligue 1, but they have had a few
difficulties recently. They sit at the top the table with a 13-point
lead over their nearest opponent but they went out of the League Cup at
home to struggling Guingamp (1-2), suffered their first league defeat of
the season earlier this month away to Lyon, and French minnows
Villefranche shockingly managed to take them to extra time in the Coupe
de France. As to the Champions League, Tuchel's men came though a highly
competitive Group C, finishing 2 points clear of Liverpool with SSC Napoli
missing out from a qualification race which went right to the wire. <br />Neymar
is a longer-term absentee while Cavani is a major doubt and unlikely to
recover from a hip injury in time to feature in this match. With Thomas
Meunier also picking up a knock in that contest, PSG are likely to be
depleted in a number of areas. Plus, Adrien Rabiot has been marginalised
following his dispute over a contract, while January signing Leandro
Paredes is still finding his feet. As a result, Marquinhos should
partner the now fit Marco Verratti in the middle of the park. Dani Alves
may be forced to battle for a place at right-back with Thilo Kehrer
while Gianluigi Buffon may get the gloves ahead of Alphonse Areola. </div>

<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Valencia team cannot improve on a third place finish and are also four point
clear of bottom side Young Boys, so they will follow the Eurpa League
route next year. They have won just one of their five group games so far
this season, with that coming at home against tournament debutants
Young Boys last month. Los Che drew the reverse match at Old Trafford at
the beginning of October. Their other home clash saw Marcelino's men
suffering a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Juventus, despite Cristiano
Ronaldo was sent off early. Domestically, they lie in 15th spot, just 4
points above the relegation zone. <br />Jose Gaya is suspended for the
hosts here, while the likes of Cristiano Piccini, Paulista,
Kevin Gameiro, and Jeison Murillo are all injury doubts. Anyway, the
likes of Michy Batshuayi, Denis Cheryshev and Geoffrey Kondogbia are all
available to return to the starting XI. Mouctar Diakhaby hould start in
Gabriel's place while 21-year-old Toni Lato could make just his second
appearance of the season at left-back. Rodrigo Moreno will partner
Batshuayi up front, while Dani Parejo and Gonçalo Guedes will start out
wide. </div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Man United team have already secured their place in the last 16 of the
competition courtesy of a dramatic late winner against Young Boys last
time out. They could progress as group winners if they win and Juventus
fail to beat Young Boys. Jose Mourinho's men have won both their UCL
games away from Old Trafford this season - 0:3 over Young Boys and 1:2
over Juventus. Manchester United enter this clash on the back of a display
of rare attacking excitement as they cruised to a 4-1 victory over
Fulham on Saturday. That victory lifted them in 6th position in the
Premier League table, 16 points shy of league leaders Liverpool and 8
behind 4th placed Arsenal and Chelsea FC. <br />Mourinho confirmed that
Paul Pogba will start the match, having only made the bench for United's
last two outings. Other changes could see Sergio Romero, Andreas
Pereira and Scott McTominay featuring from the off. Juan Mata will be
hopeful of starting against his former club having impressed last
weekend, while Romelu Lukaku and Rashford look sure starters up
front given that Alexis Sanchez is ruled out. In defense, the likes of
Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw and Chris Smalling are all injured, though,
while Eric Bailly is a doubt with a muscle problem. </div>

<b>Lyon vs Manchester City -</b> Competition: <b>UEFA Champions League (Group F)</b><br />
<br />
</div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Olympique Lyon team are still unbeaten in UCL. After a surprising away win
at Man City (1-2), the drew all the following three fixtures -
2-2 at home against Shakhtar Donetsk, 3-3 and 2-2 in the double
challenge with Hoffenheim. Bruno Genesio's men will be disappointed they
are not in a stronger position to progress already. Domestically, they
lie second in Ligue 1 but are 15 points behind runaway leaders PSG. Lyon
laboured to a 1-0 win over local rivals St Etienne in the league on
Friday night and kept a clean sheet after conceding 9 goals in the last 5
outings.<br />
There are concerns about Nabil Fekir’s physical
condition, but Lyon’s top player should be fit to make the starting
line-up here. Bruno Genesio is likely to start with Memphis Depay in
attack, however Moussa Dembele is pushing for a start. Bertrand Traorè
and Houssem Aouar are expected to complete the offensive midfield trio
behind the Dutchman. Ex-City defender Jason Denayer is expected to
retain his place in a four-man backline for this daunting test,
alongside full back Kenny Tetè and Ferland Mendy, and centre back
Marcelo. In midfield, Lucas Tousart should partner Tanguy Ndombele.</div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Man
City team need need a point to progress to the next round with one game to
spare as they lead the group with nine points from their opening four
fixtures. They currently are six points clear of third placed Hoffenheim
while Lyon trail them by three points. The Citizens lost the reverse
fixture back in August, as Lyon upset the English champions at Etihad
Stadium (1-2). Since then, Pep Guardiola's men have beaten Hoffenheim
(2-1) and Shakhtar twice (3-0 and 6-0). Saturday's 4-0 thrashing
of West Ham in Premier League means that Manchetser City top the EPL standings
with a 11W 2D 0L record. It was the eighth consecutive victory for Pep
Guardiola’s machinery.<br />
Kevin De Bruyne remains absent for City
due to the ligament damage sustained few weeks ago. Bernardo Silva is a
doubt after missing Saturday's game, meaning that Riyad Mahrez and
Raheem Sterling are favourite to flank Gabriel Jesus upfront, since
Sergio Aguero is likely to be benched this time. Leroy Sanè provide a
further offensive option. Fernandinho and David Silva loo sure starters
in the middle of the park, with Fabian Delph and youngster Phil Foden in
contention for the remaining berth. Delph could be also used at left
back as Benjamin Medy will miss 2-3 months due to injury. John Stones
was rested over the weekend and he appears certain to reclaim his place
in the heart of the back four, either alongside Aymeric Laporte or
possible Vincent Kompany.<br />

Inter team bounced back from a defeat to FC Barcelona (0-2) a fortnight
ago with an astonishing display away at Lazio (0-3) and an impressive
5-0 victory over Genoa last Saturday. The Nerazzurri are on a 7 match
winning streak in the Serie A and sit 2nd in the standings, 6 point
below league leaders Juventus. Luciano Spalletti's men boast Europe's
best defensive record, with only 6 goals conceded domestically in 11
matches. Anyway, Inter have failed to keep a clean sheet in UCL so far. They trail Barcelona by three points and will aim to go
level with the Blaugrana. <br />Joao Mario is ineligible in the
Champions League along with Henrique Dalbert and Roberto Gagliardini.
Hence, Matias Vecino will start in midfield alongside Marcelo Brozovic
while Kwadwo Asamoah and Sime Vrsaljko will feature from the off as full
backs. Radja Nainggolan made his comeback from an ankle problem against
Genoa at the weekend, and the Belgium international is expected to
return to the Inter XI for this match. Mauro Icardi was rested against
Genoa and is expected to spearhead the attack, with Ivan Perisic and
Matteo Politano out wide.<br /><br />FC Barcelona team
dispatched Inter easier than expected two weeks ago at Camp Nou a
fortnight ago (2-0) and top the group with 9 points after three
fixtures. Ernesto Valverde's side beat PSV 4-0 on opening night before
winning 4-2 at Tottenham in the first two fixtures. Their away record in
Europe is not so impressive - 6 wins, 5 draw and 6 defeats in the last
17 matches. As for La Liga, three straight La Liga wins has taken
Barcelona to the top of the table, with a 4-2 win over Sevilla followed
by a 5-1 success over Real in El Clasico and a 3-2 away win at
Rayo Vallecano over the weekend. </div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Messi is dealing with a
fractured arm and remains a doubt for this trip. As a result, Ousmane
Dembelè and Rafinha Alcantara are in contention to partner Philippe
Coutinho and Luis Suarez up front. No changes are expected in midfield,
where Sergio Busquets will be the playmaker between Arthur and Ivan
Rakitic. In defense, Samuel Umtiti and Thomas Vermaelen are sidelined,
meaning that Clement Lenglet will partner Gerard Piquè at the heart of
the back, with Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto on their flanks.</div>

Barcelona team returned to the top of the table last weekend with a thrilling
4-2 win over Sevilla, despite making their worst start to a season in
13 years. A 2-0 win over Inter on Wednesday ensured that the
Blaugrana maintained a 100% winning start in the UCL.
Anyway, Ernesto Valverde's men were not at their best until the
international break, as they dropped points at home to Girona and Bilbao, drew at Valencia and suffered a defeat away to Leganes.
This corresponding fixture last season finished 2-2 while Barca were
3-0 winners at the Bernabeu in last season's other league match. Messi
is out through injury: the Argentine has only missed two games against
Real Madrid since his first taste of this fixture, and Barcelona haven't
won either (D1 L1).<br />With Messi unlikely to return to action
until the middle of November, Rafinha Alcantara will probably complete
the front trio with Philippe Coutinho and Lis Suarez. As alternative,
Ernesto Valverde could give Ousmane Dembelè a rare start. In midfield,
Arthur has been hugely impressive since arriving in the summer and is
expected to partner Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic once again. At the
back, Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet are the only available senior
centre-backs. The pair will be flanked by Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto,
with Nelson Semedo as back up option.<br /><br />Real
Madrid team sits seventh in La Liga table with just 14 points from nine
games, four behind league-leading Barça. It's the sides worse start
to a season in 17 years. The Galacticos got back to winning ways in
midfield as they narrowly beat Viktoria Plzen at home (2-1) in Champions
League but pressure is mounting on former Spain head coach Julen
Lopetegui after recent defeats against the likes of CSKA,
Deportivo Alaves and Levante. Defensive laxity and an inability to
control games had long been a problem. <br /><br />The visitors are in the
middle of a defensive crisis as Dani Carvajal is carrying a calf injury
and Marcelo is also not fully fit. Alvaro Odriozola is on stand-by to
step up and start El Clasico. Raphaël Varane is likely to return to the
XI despite recent slip-ups. Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are expected to
play in front of Casemiro in midfield while the 'tridente' should be
formed by Karim Benzema, Bale and Isco. The likes of Marco Asensio,
Mariano Diaz and Federico Valverde could start if Lopetegui rotates his
side while Vinicio Junior is out through suspension.<strong> </strong><br /> </div>

<strong>Everton vs Crystal Palace</strong> - Competition: <strong>Premier League</strong></div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Date: <strong>21 October 2018</strong> - Kick-off Time:<strong> 16:00 BST </strong></div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Venue: <strong>Goodison Park, Liverpool </strong> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
After recording just one win through their first six top-flight
fixtures, Everton (3-3-2) have won back-to-back matches in the
top-flight and now sit 11th in the EPL table. The Toffees
beat Fulham (3-0) and Leicester City (1-2 away) before the international
break. Anyway, betwen those two games, Marco Silva's men were knocked
out from the EFL Cup, losing on penalties against Southampton. As to
direct encounters, these two teams drew 2-2 at Selhurst Park last season
but the Toffees rolled to a 3-1 win in the reverse fixture at Goodison
Park.<br /><br />Marco Silva revealed that Andre Gomes (hamstring), Yerry
Mina (foot) and James McCarthy could all feature for the first time this
season. Idrissa Gueye picked up up a knock on international duty and
will be assessed ahead of this clash. Morgan Schneiderlin is the most
likely to step in for him. Up front, Richarlison is expected to play as
lone striker, with the likes of Bernard, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Theo
Walcott supporting the Brazilian. With Seamus Coleman set to miss out,
Jonjoe Kenny will continue at right-back. Michael Keane, Kurt Zouma and
Lucas Digne will complete the four man backline.<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Crystal
Palace team are below Everton in 14th position, but they only have seven
points after two wins, one draw and five defeats. Both of Palace's wins
this term have come away from home but the Eagles have recorded
consecutive league defeats at Bournemouth and Wolves this month. After
eight games Roy Hodgson's men have just five goals to their name,
scoring just two from their last five games. Furthermore, they have not
beaten the Toffees in the last 7 h2h meetings. <br /><br />Wilfried Zaha
remains a doubt as he had not trained since picking up a muscle strain.
Connor Wickam stepped up his recovery from long-term injury and provides
cover up-front. Jeffrey Schlupp is another option to replace Zaha on
the left flank if the Ivorian international is not passed fit. Jordan
Ayew and Andros Townsend look sure starters. In midfield, Luka
Milivojevic will be flanked by Cheikh Kouyate and James McArthur. Joel
Ward picked up a muscular injury in training and will be unavailable for
the match. Jonny Williams has also picked up an injury while Max Meyer
and Alexander Sørloth are in doubt currently due to illness. </div>

<strong>Tottenham vs Barcelona</strong> - Competition: <strong>UEFA Champions League</strong><br /> </div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Tottenham suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Inter a fortnight
ago, conceding two goals in the final five minutes. That was their
third in a row in all competitions, following on the back of losses to
Watford and Liverpool in the Premier League. Anyway, the Lilywhites have
racked up three consecutive wins since then, beating Brighton and
Huddersfield Town on their travels, and recording a penalty-shootout
victory over Watford in the EFL Cup last week. The Spurs have won all
three of their group stage home games last season, and they have only
lost four competitive home games in the last 12 months. <br />Dele
Alli remains out for Spurs, who are also without the services of Dembele and Jan Vertonghen, as they were both taken off at half-time
last weekend. Christian Eriksen and Serge Aurier are the other two
notable absences while Hugo Lloris has recovered and will probably start
between the posts. Danny Rose was used at wing-back at the weekend,
but Pochettino likes to rotat in that department so Ben Davies could
feature from the off. Harry Kane will start as lone striker, with Son
Heung Min and Lamela as offensive midfielders. Lucas Moura provide a
further offensive alternative.</div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br />Barcelona team
recorded an impressive 4-0 win over PSV in their first UCL
outing. Anyway, they have failed to win any of their last three
encounters since brushing aside the Dutch outfit. Ernesto Valverde's men
required a late equaliser from Munir to claim a point at home to
Bilbao last time out, and that followed a shock 2-1 defeat at
Leganes in midweek. Prior to that they only managed to draw at home to
Girona. Furthermore, the Blaugrana have won just one of their last seven
away games in Europe and have scored just twice in that time.<br />The
Catalans will be without Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti, with the
latter suspended after seeing red against PSV. Nelson Semedo is expected
to deputise as left back, completing the four man backline with Jordi
Alba, Gerard Piquè and Clement Lenglet. Up front, Ousmane Dembele should
be benched, and this could see Arturo Vidal start in a three man
midfield alongside Ivan Rakitic and Sergi Busquets. The likes of Leo
Messi and Suarez will lead the line, with Philippe Coutinho tucked
behind them. </div>

Inter Milan team managed just 1 win from the four Serie A games so far and
suffered the second defeat of the season last weekend, as Parma upset
them at San Siro (1-0). The Nerazzurri are struggling to convert chances
despite keeping possession with easy and already trail league leader
Juventus by a whopping 8 points. Inter Milan have won 10 of their 15
previous home matches against English clubs in European competitions,
drawing three and losing two (to Liverpool and Arsenal)</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Spalletti will be forced to play with a three man defense, since all his
full backs (Danilo D'Ambrosio, Sime Vrsaljko and Dalbert) are out
through injury or ineligible to play in Champions League. As a result,
Kwadwo Asamoah and Antonio Candreva will play as wing backs, with Milan
Skriniar, Stefan De Brij and Joao Miranda as centre backs. The likes of
Matias Vecino and Marcelo Brozovic will start in midfield, while Radja
Nainggolan and Ivan Perisic will support Mauro Icardi up front. Lautaro
Martinez will miss the game through injury, Robert Gagliardini and Joao
Mario have been left out of Inter's Champions League squad.<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Tottenham
were riding high after a 3-0 away win at Man United, but suffered
back-to-back defeats against Watford and Liverpool in Premier League on
either side of the international break. Away from home they have failed
to win four of their last six competitive games, losing three times.
After failing to make a single summer signing, depth could be a concern
for Spurs fans willing the team to mount a serious challenge in Europe
too. This will be the fifth meeting in European competition between
Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur, with both sides winning two matches
each of the previous four. In 2010 a 4-3 defeat at S.Siro was
overshadowed by a miraculous late hat-trick from Gareth Bale. <br />Hugo
Lloris and Dele Alli are both ruled out while Juan Foyth, Georges-Kevin
Nkoudou and Vincent Janssen are all out of the UEFA Champions League
list. Mauricio Pochettino is expected to play with a 4-2-3-1 system,
allowing Son Heung min to join Eriksen and Lucas Moura in the
trio behind the lone striker Harry Kane. Erik Lamela provides a further
option up front. Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier are favourite over Ben
Davies and Serge Aurier for the full back berths. In midfield, Eric Dier
and Mousa Dembelè are the likely starters as Sissoko is a doubt
and could miss out here. Michel Vorm will continue to start between the
posts.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<strong>France vs Croatia</strong> - Competition: <strong>World Cup (Finale)</strong><br />
Date: <strong>15 July 2018</strong> - Kick-off Time:<strong> </strong><strong>17:00 CET</strong><br />
Venue: <b>Luzhniki Stadium </b></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
France team have reached a second consecutive major tournament final, after
they lost to Portugal at Euro 2016. Les Bleus are aiming to bring him
the trophy they previously won in 1998, having also lost the 2006 final
on penalties to Italy. Deschamps' men reached the World Cup final by
beating Belgium 1-0 in the semifinals, courtesy of a Samuel Umtiti
header. They have also beaten Argentina (4-3) and Uruguay (2-0) in the
knockout stage. In the group stage, France beat Australia (2-1) and Peru
(1-0), and recorded a goalless draw against Denmark (0-0). As a result,
they have kept 4 clean sheet in 6 games. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Deschamps can
name an unchanged side from the semi-final win over Belgium as Blaise
Matuidi should be fit to start despite going off injured last time out.
Olivier Giroud should keep his place up front despite he is yet to break
the duck. The Chelsea striker will be supported by Kylian Mbappè and
Antoine Griezmann, with Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kantè anchoring the
midfield. Djibril Sidibe is still a doubt for les Bleus but Benjamin
Pavard is safe to start at right-back, forming an unchanged backline
alongside Samuel Umtiti, Raphael Varane and Lucas Hernandez.<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Croatia
denied England's bid to reach the final for the first time since 1966,
knocking off the Three Lions 2-1 in extra time. They are the first team
in World Cup history to go to extra-time in all three of their knockout
matches en route to the final, with two of them decided by penalty
shootouts (against Russia and Denmark). That leaves doubt as to whether
they have the energy to endure another marathon matchup. Interestingly,
all three of their knockout games have finished 1-1. Hence, after two
victories without conceding - 2:0 over Nigeria and 3:0 over Argentina -
the Blazers have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last four matches.
Croatia have never beaten France in five previous meetings, although the
last two encounters have ended in a draw.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Mandzukic should
also ready despite going off with cramp in extra-time against England.
Ivan Strinic is also likely to recover after limping off in that match.
Marcelo Brozovic should retain his spot as pivot in the middle of the
park, while Ivan Rakitic, Luka Modric, Ante Rebic and Ivan Perisic will
feature from the off as offensive midfielders behind Mandzukic. Milan
Badelj and Mateo Kovacic provide useful midfield options, Andrej
Kramaric is a viable alternative upfront. Sime Vrsaljko remarkably
recovered from a knee injury in time to start against England and will
continue at right-back here, forming a four man backline with Dejan
Lovren, Damagoj Vida and Ivan Strinic.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<strong><u>Probable lineups</u>: </strong></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<strong>France: </strong>Lloris – Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, Hernandez – Pogba, Kante – Mbappe, Griezmann, Matuidi – Giroud.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Croatia: </strong>Subasic – Vrsaljko, Lovren, Vida, Strinic – Rakitic, Brozovic – Rebic, Modric, Perisic – Mandzukic.</div>

<b>France vs Belgium </b>- Competition: <b>World Cup</b><br />
Date: <b>10 July 2018</b> - Kick-off Time:<b> 19:00 BST - </b><b>20:00 CET</b><br />

<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
France team secured their route through with hard-fought and narrow wins over
Peru and Australia in their opening two matches. Les Blues drew 0-0
with Denmark in the final group stage match. Their first knock-out game
saw them defeat Argentina in a thrilling 4-3 triumph as Lionel Messi was
knocked out of the competition. Then Deschamps' men reached
their sixth World Cup Semi Final with their solid 2-0 victory over
Uruguay. Doubts should remain about a defence who conceded three times
against Argentina but in France's other four matches, a goal has not
been conceded from open play. Excluding shootouts, France have lost just
one of their last 13 games in the knockout rounds of the World Cup.<br />
Didier Deschamps is unlikely to make sweeping changes.
Sidibe is a doubt for Les Blues, but he is their only injury
concern here. Suspended Blaise Matuidi gave place to Corentin Tolisso in
midfield, but Juve’s man is expected to return to the starting XI here.
Olivier Giroud should spearhead the attack once again, with Kylian
Mbappè and Antoine Girezmann behind him. No changes are expected in
defense where Raphael Varane and Samuel Umtiti wil lbe flanked by Lucas
Hernandez and Benjamin Pavard.<br />
<br />
Belgium
won all three of their group stage clashes - 3:0 over Panama, 5-2 over
Tunisia and 1-0 over England. The Red Devils survived a scare in the
last 16 round by beating Japan 3-2 courtesy of a last gasp goal, after
they were 2 goals down in the second half. Roberto Martinez's men came
through a heavyweight clash in the quarter-finals as they knocked
joint-favourites Brazil out (2-1) in a pulsating match. They were
dominated, but they managed to score two goals from only three attempts
on target in the game. Belgium are now unbeaten in their last 24 games
under manager Roberto Martinez, winning 19 and drawing five.<br />
Yannick
Carrasco and Dries Mertens were victims of the tactics change last time
out and could be benched once again. Thomas Meunier is suspended after
he received his second yellow of the World Cup last time out. Martinez has tipped Chadli and Adnan Januzaj are both options to
fill the void on the right. He is expected to switch to a 4-3-3
formation with Jan Vertonghen playing as left back. Eden Hazard and
Kevin De Bruyne should flank Romelu Lukaku up front, while Marouane
Fellaini should join Mousa Dembele and Axel Witsel in a very strong
midfield. <b></b><br />

<strong>France vs Argentina </strong>Competition: <strong>World Cup</strong><br />
Date: <strong>30 June 2018</strong> - Kick-off Time:<strong> 15:00 BST </strong><br />

France team have enjoyed a smooth passage into the last sixteen of the WC with two wins and a draw to their name. They beat 2-1 Australia in
their opening game, 1-0 Peru in the second match and managed to earn a
goalless draw against Denmark last time out. They had scored in 11
consecutive internationals before the dead rubber against. Les Blues
haven’t been convincing in the final third despite they are considered
one of the most talented squad. France conceded just once – a penalty –
in the process. Didier Deschamps' men probabley face their first real
test of the competition so far and they need to get out of first gear.<br />Didier
Deschamps is likely to play with his usual 4-2-3-1 system. Olivier
Giroud and Antoine Griezmann are in contention to start as striker.
Should Giroud get the nod, Griezmann will play out wide. Otherwise, the
likes of Kylian Mbappè, Paul Pogba and Nabil Fekir will play as
offensive midfielders. Blaise Matuidi is expected to partner N'Golo
Kantè in the middle of the park. Samuel Umtiti remains a doubt, but is
expected to be fit in time to join Raphael Varane, Lucas Hernandez and
Benjamin Pavard in the four man backline. Hugo Lloris will return in
goal.<br /><strong><br /></strong>Argentina team
have survived a major scare and got through to the knock-out stages
with a 2-1 win over Nigeria last time out, a match in which Messi
finally opened his account for the tournament with a goal. Prior to
that, they were hold by Iceland (1-1) and suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to
Croatia team. The defense is their main concern - the Albiceleste have kept
just 1 clean sheet in their last 5 (a friendly vs Haiti). Anyway, with
Messi starting to fire all cylinders, this could be a very open contest.
<br />Jorge Sampaoli could name the same XI that started against
Nigeria on Tuesday night, meanign that Ever Banega will retain his
starting berth as midfielder, joining Javier Mascherano. Up front,
Gonzalo Higuain should partner Leo Messi once again, despite a poor
performance last time out. Juv team Perez and ANgel Di Maria
will be the preferred wingers. No changes are expected in midfield with
Mercado, Rojo, Otamendi and Tagliafico retaining their berth.<br /><strong> </strong></div>

<strong>Portugal vs Morocco </strong>- Competition: <strong>World Cup</strong><br /><strong></strong> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Ronaldo was the hero for Portugal team in their opening game by
scoring his first ever World Cup hat-trick in the 3-3 draw against
Spain. CR7 became the first ever player to score at eight consecutive
major international tournaments. The European champions have lost just
one competitive game in four years but their defense is a major concern:
the Iberians have conceded 3 golas to Spain and Netherlands, two to
Tunisia this year. <br />No changes are expected from the side that
drew 3-3 with Spain on Friday night. Andre Silva will be hoping to
replace Gonçalo Guedes as Cristiano Ronaldo's strike partner, but the AC
Milan striker is likely to be benched again. Bernardo Silva and Bruno
Fernandes will play out wide with Joao Moutinho and William Carvalho
anchoring the midfield. The four man backline will be formed by Raphael
Guerreiro, Pepe, Josè Fonte and Cedric Soares. New Wolves' goalkeeper
Rui Patricio will start between the sticks.<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Morocco
team lost 1-0 to Iran in their opening WC match. The African nation
wasted a whole host of chances to put away Iran in their Group B match
and they were punished deep into added time when Aziz Bouhaddouz headed
the ball into his own net. Picking up points against Portugal and Spain
will not come easily for them, but Morocco only conceded three goals in
qualifying and will try to frustrate their opponents. Portugal’s ageing
defence were exposed far too much against Spain, and Morocco will have
every chance of getting on the scoresheet here.<br />Morocco aren't
expected to make any major changes to their squad. They will be without
winger Nordin Amrabat, who had to go off with concussion against Iran.
Nabil Dirar is a doubt and could miss out here, with Hamza Mendyl in
line to start at left-back and Achraf Hakimi set to switch to
right-back. The likes of Hakim Ziyech, Amine Harit and Youned Belhanda
are expected to retain their starting berth behind the lone striker
Ayoub El Kaabi. </div>

<strong>Russia vs Saudi Arabia</strong> - Competition: <strong>World Cup 2018 (Group A)</strong><br />
Date: <strong>14 June 2018</strong> - Kick-off Time:<strong> 16:00 BST </strong><br />
Venue: <strong>Stadion Luzhniki, Moskva</strong></div>
<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">

<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Russia team come into their home World Cup as the lowest ranked side in the
FIFA, 70th, and three positions lower than the next lowest ranked side,
who happen to be Saudi Arabia. They have won just two of their last 11
games, failing to beat the likes Austria (0-1) and Turkey (1-1) in their
most recent friendlies. The last time the Russians won an international
match was in October of last year when they fended off a late rally
from South Korea to win 4-2. They failed to record a victory in Russia
four years ago and have not won a match at a major finals since Euro
2012. They conceded three goals in successive matches against Russia and
France last March.<br />Krasnodar forward Fyodor Smolov is expected
to lead the line alongside ALeksei Miranchuk as Aleksandr Kokorin is not
a part of the team, as he is sidelined with an anterior cruciate
ligament injury. Artem Dzyuba provide a further option in attack. In
midfield, Erokhin, Golovin and Glushakov are likely to play in the
middle of the park while Yuri Zhirkov and Aleksander Samedov should be
the starting wing backs in a 3-5-2 system. At the back, Kutepov, Granat,
Kudryashov should form the three man defense with veteran goalkeeper
Akinfeev between the posts.<br /><br />Saudi
Arabia stepped up their World Cup preparations in an international
friendly with Italy, losing 2-1 with Yahya Al Shehri scoring their only
goal. Since then, they lost 3-0 at the hands of Peru but limted a full
strength Germany side to a 2-1 win on 8th June. The former Chile coach
Juan Antonio Pizzi is the third head-coach in the space of 10 months and
he got little time to settle with the squad. Anyway, ten of their 23
man squad play for the same club, Al-Hilal, and this could be a massive
advantage. <br />Top scorer Al-Sahlawi is likely to start up
front. He should be supported by Al Shehri, Al Jassim, Al Dawsari as
offensive midfielders. The likes of Otayf and Al Khaibri are expected to
feature from the off in the middle of the park. In defense, Pizzi is
likely to choose Al Shahrani, Om. Hawsawi, Os. Hawsawi and Al-Harbi
while Al Mosailem should get the nod over Al Maiouf as starting
goalkeeper.</div>

<strong>Real Madrid vs Liverpool </strong>- Competition: <strong>UEFA Champions League Final</strong><br />
Date: <strong>26 May 2018</strong> - Kick-off Time:<strong> 19:45 BST </strong><br />

<div class="vc_tta-panel-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Real Madrid team came through the semi finals with a 4-3
aggregate win over Bayern. They bat the Bavarians 2-1 away from
home in the first leg and held on at the death in Madrid to draw 2-2 in
the return match. Prior to that they survived a scare against Juventus
altough they beat the Italian champions 3-0 in Turin. They are currently
on a 27 match scoring streak in European games. Los Blancos have bagged
3 UCL title over the past 4 campaigns and now look to
break another record, amid a very disappointing La Liga campaign under
Zidane – where they failed to cope with pace-setters Barcelona.
<br />Real Madrid are expected to have a fully fit squad to choose
from with Zinedine Zidane revealing Ronaldo would be 100% fit for this
clash. Dani Carvajal returned from injury against Villarreal and will
start as right back, with Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane and Marcelo
completing the back four. Isco and Lucas Vazquez are in contention for
the third berth in attack alongside Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. No
changes are expected in midfield where Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka
Modric are likely to retain their starting berth. <br /><br />Liverpool
team beat AS Roma in the semi-finals to advance to this showpiece clash. The
Reds overcame the Giallorossi 7-6 on aggregate, courtesy of a 5-2 win at
Anfield in the first leg match. Prior to that, Jurgen Klopp's men beat
Manchester City home (3-0) and away (2-1) while in the first knockout
round they delivered a 5-0 aggregate win over Porto with all the goals
coming in the first leg in Portugal. They were unbeaten in 11 UCL games
before to lose 4-2 at the Olimpico. In the Premier League Liverpool
finished in fourth place, 25 points adrift of Man City, 6 behind
Manchester United and 2 shy of Tottenham.<br />The Reds will also take an
almost fully fit squad to Ukraine, with Emre Can and James Milner both
returning to training this week. Jurgen Klopp, who will be only without
long-term absentees Chamberlain and Joe Gomez for the final,
will keep faith in his usual 4-3-3 formation in which Sadio Manè,
Roberto Firmino and Mohammed Salah will lead the line. At the back, Andrew
Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold should get the nod over Nathaniel
Clyne and Alberto Moreno as full back, with Virgil Van Dijk and Dejan
Lovren confirmed as centre-backs. Milner, Georginj Wijnaldum and Jordan
Henderson should form the midfield trio.<strong></strong></div>
