Match Previews

Chelsea vs Aston Villa

Aston Villa right now? More like Aston “Vanilla” – looking about as exciting and creative as a corporate team-building seminar. Against a Juventus side so injury-ravaged they were practically fielding whoever could walk and chew gum simultaneously, Villa looked like they’d forgotten how football works.

Seven matches without a win? That’s not a slump, that’s a full-blown identity crisis. And now they’re walking into a match where Chelsea’s counter-attacking threat is sharper than a Gordon Ramsay insult.

Jackson, the Senegalese striker, is basically a football magician who can conjure goals out of thin air. Surrounded by talent like Palmer, Neto, Madueke, Félix, and Sancho, he’s got more creative support than a Silicon Valley startup. When he gets moving, defenders start having nightmares.

Our Prediction

Liverpool vs Manchester City

Liverpool have won 14 of their last 15 games in all competitions 
Manchester City have lost five of their last six games and choked midweek against Feyernoord.

Pep’s probably missing his thick locks more than ever. You can see he would like to pull out every single strand. And Liverpool? Let’s just say we learned a valuable lesson about not poking the bear.
