Man City Vs Arsenal

 Gunners Vs The Citizens  City breaks the deadlock: The citizens began the game by dominating possession as Arsenal were looking to play on the counter. Man City have had a mixed start to the campaign as they won only one game against Wolves. Leicester City battered them as the score ended 5-2 with Vardy scoring a hattrick. Pep's men were held to a draw against Leeds as Bielsa's men gave the Citizens a tough time despite taking the lead.  The Manchester outfit was having more of the ball and almost were close to scoring when Mahrez was setup by Sterling and the Algerian winger's shot was just wide. The former Leicester winger was again causing problems for Arsenal as he set up Aguero only for the striker's header to end up wide. With their star playmaker Kevin De Bruyne out due to injury, City were still on the front foot. Eventually, City opened the scoring as Mahrez and Aguero combined well to set up Foden, who eased passed Bellerin. Foden's attempt was parried by

 The Merseyside Derby: 1. Visitors break the deadlock: The game began with Liverpool keeping more of the ball and were playing with free flow passes as Everton were looking to play on the counter. Klopp's men were looking to bounce back after their defeat at the hands of Aston Villa. Moments later, the visitors broke the deadlock. Robertson dribbled his way past Coleman, and the Scottish left-back played a pass to Mane, who scored past Pickford and gave his side the lead. The Senegalese winger was tested positive for COVID-19 and returned to the side after completing his quarantine period.  2. Everton equalize:  After conceding the goal, the hosts began to more cautiously and were almost close to scoring when Calvert-Lewin headed the ball above after Digne played across. Things turned worse for the defending champions as Virgil Van Dijk hobbled off the field after Pickford attempted to clear the ball from a set-piece. It was a rash attempt for clearance as VAR checked for a possibl

 The curse of the legendary Number   Manchester United's iconic number 7 is the club's most significant jersey. The 20-time premier league champions have had great players in the past who have been an integral part of their success and contributions, thereby cementing their legacy. Many legends have played for this prestigious club, but very few have had the privilege to don this "great" number 7 and have been successful. The below names are the icons wearing the number 7 jersey and gained recognition.  1. George Best 2. Bryan Robson 3. Eric Cantona 4. David Beckham 5. Cristiano Ronaldo  Since Ronaldo's departure to Real Madrid in 2009, nobody had lived up to the significant Number's expectations and went on to become more terrible when Sir Alex Ferguson left the dugout in 2013. Many critics have termed it as " the curse" because many players who have donned the iconic jersey have turned out to be disastrous and catastrophic. Now let us look at the n

Lilywhites      Image Source: google.com      Image Source: google.com      Image Source: google.com   Both teams score in the early minutes:   The game started in the most flurry style as the hosts began to apply the pressure. Moments later, United won a penalty when Sanchez tripped Martial. Honestly, the Red Devils have been getting a lot of penalties recently. Fernandes made no mistake and converted the spot-kick to give his side the lead. It looked like United would take the game from here but, football is full of surprises. Spurs reacted and equalized as they took an early throw-in that bamboozled Bailly and Maguire. Ndombele took advantage of Maguire's  sloppy header and leveled the score.       Image Source: google.com 2. Spurs continue to decimate:   It looked like that equalizer gave Jose's men a significant boost as they began to press heavily and continued to take advantage of the host's defensive woes. The North London outfit increased their lead
