Liverpool vs Man City: Reds could help or worsen Manchester United’s title cause
The Merseyside Reds will welcome current English Premier League leaders Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday afternoon in what promises to be a terrific encounter. But the competition between the Red Devils and the Citizens currently sees Manchester City having the upper hand. As things stand, Roberto Mancini’s billionaires possess a 4-point lead over their local foes. Should City avoid defeat at Anfield, the gap will widen to 5 or 7 points at the top of the standings.
Here, the big problem for Manchester United is that they have only one fixture against Man City remaining. The Red Devils already blew away 3 massive points in a humiliating 6-1 defeat at Old Trafford the other time.
Liverpool’s furious Agger on Reds’ defense: Can’t we keep a clean sheet at least?
Liverpool’s supporters have had their hopes boosted by the arrival of more signings this summer. Midfielders Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson have been welcomed at Anfield to boost Liverpool’s attacking options from the wings and center of the field. Indeed, the revolution under Kenny Dalglish is expected to get hotter next season. However, Liverpool’s Daniel Agger fears that the club will suffer from a new problem: its defense. In 5 club friendly matches, the Merseyside Reds have let in as many as 15 goals.
In their latest results, they lost 3-0 to Hull City and allowed 3 more goals against Valerenga in a 3-3 draw in Norway. Agger revealed his fury while speaking to reporters as ESPN could quote:
Liverpool’s Gerrard Warns EPL Rivals: Reds Will Be Champions Again… Soon!
There have been so many taunts aimed at Liverpool down the years due to the Merseyside Reds’ inabiity to clinch a single English Premier League title since 1991. However, Liverpool are working towards a revival of the club and captain Steven Gerrard believes that the team’s progress has been rather positive under coach Kenny Dalglish.Having failed to qualify for Europe, Liverpool will benefit from more time in a less tense football agenda next season. The English Premier League, the FA Cup (which they last won in 2005) and the Carling Cup will be at stake whereas there will be no UEFA Champions League or Europa League fixture in their schedule.
Manchester United Fans Taunt Liverpool But Reds Could Have The Last Laugh
English magazine The Sun reported on Wednesday on the issue—depicting the group of Manchester United fans behind the piece of work as “cheeky”. Actually, a motorway signboard close to Junction 24 on the southbound M6 portrayed Manchester United’s advantage over Liverpool in terms of league title wins as it wrote, “Liverpool 18” and “Manchester United 19”. According to reports, the Merseyside Reds have asked the “offending” motorway sign to be removed. In another related story, Manchester United fans also organized a campaign to fire the 1985 hit entitled “19” of Paul Hardcastle at number 1 in the charts. The move is to honour the lucky number 19 at the contempt of Liverpool.
Barcelona vs Manchester United: Reds To Attack. Good Or Bad News For Barca?
When you opt to play a defensive game against Barcelona, expect a flood of criticism to pour down on you. Football fans are very demanding and negative tactics—also known as “anti-football”—are branded by many as an act of cowardice. For a multitude of supporters, it apparently seems more unjust to claim victory through “anti-football” than through “luck” from highly controversial officiating. Are Manchester United prepared to change their identity (like attacking side Arsenal did at the Camp Nou) in attempt to defeat Barcelona on the score board? Apparently, the answer to this question is “no” according to Sir Alex Ferguson.
Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur: How Spurs Have Eased The Reds’ Europa League Bid
Quick Analysis Ahead Of Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur
Liverpool already have the advantage knowing that they lead Spurs with 2 points ahead of this weekend’s action. This means that victory at Anfield over the Lilywhites will seal a fifth-place finish for the Merseyside Reds. The race for UEFA Europa League tickets in England is pretty much a two-horse affair—between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
The winner of the fight could even be decided on the very last match-day of the English Premier League; that is, if the Merseyside Reds fail to beat their rivals from London on Sunday. In truth, aren’t Liverpool the sole combatants for the only Europa League spot which is on offer?
Why Liverpool Vs Manchester City Could End The Reds' European Dreams
Considering that even Tottenham Hotspur are not mathematically safe from relegation is something that virtually sums up a fantastic season of Premier League football that we have had so far. But things are not looking quite done yet for the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool as they continue their never-ending battle of securing a Champions League spot for next season.
Ever since the Arabians took over the throne at Eastlands, success in Europe has been their ultimate priority as they lavishly invested millions on new acquisitions in a bid to transform City into a global European powerhouse.
The impact of that spending has virtually made some real positive impact to be frank when it comes to City's improvement in the league standings. However, things are not quite done yet for Roberto Mancini and his team as they still face a tough fight in the ongoing battle for European spots.
Champions League – Manchester United vs Marseille: What Are The Reds’ Plans?
What Manchester United’s 0-0 Draw Means
The first thing everyone can understand is that the Red Devils must avoid a score draw if they want to cross the Last 16 of the UEFA Champions League. In such instance, the away goal rule will automatically put Olympique Marseille through to the next stage of the competition.
Evidently, defeat for Manchester United at Old Trafford will create the same result: an European exit for the 2008 UEFA Champions League winners. In conclusion, Manchester United are left with only one option as they aim to reach Wembley; they must beat Olympique Marseille or kick out.
Interestingly, drawing is still an alternative and how so? Since extra-time exists in knock-out stages games, a 0-0 score line within 90 minutes of football may be good enough for the Red Devils to maintain their Champions League aspirations alive.
Chelsea vs Manchester United: Torres Sad About Ferdinand’s Absence For The Reds
The Spaniard, who hasn’t netted a single goal for Chelsea so far, is preparing for the action against the English Premier League’s leaders. Fernando Torres had a good record against Manchester United during his time at Liverpool and he’ll hope to add more goals to the ones he’s already scored against the Red Devils. However, the Chelsea striker would be happier to do so against Manchester United’s strongest defensive line as he believes that one must beat the best to be the best. But with Rio Ferdinand’s confirmed absence from Tuesday night’s match, Fernando Torres feels a bit sad as he told Chelsea’s official website.
Man UTD vs Man City: Last Derby For Glazers? Qatar Royal Family To Buy Reds Soon

The Qatari royal family was mentioned as the ones interested in striking a deal with Manchester United. Apparently, it is nearing completion. The Glazers have never managed to avoid the spread of their controversial image within unsatisfied Manchester United fans. Now according to the Daily Express, the chairman of Qatar Holdings who is also the prime minister of this Arabic country, Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani, is looking to expand his acquisitions in the world of business by replacing the Glazers.
Liverpool Transfer Rumours: Luis Suarez To Leave Ajax For Kenny Dalglish’s Reds
If Suarez ever joins Liverpool, then Fernando Torres’ work in front for the Reds would be made easier in a remarkable manner and this could truly help Dalglish’s side who has not been in form this season. Having seen that scoring more goals in upcoming matches could hide his team’s defensive problems and improve results, the Liverpool manager has decided to contact the Ajax club for their special forward.Suarez, who was given a 7-match ban in the Eredivisie for violent conduct on the pitch, has not been enjoying the best of times since the exit of manager Martin Jol. It is hence reported that the main character of the 2010 World Cup myth “The Devil’s Hand” has asked his new coach Frank De Boer to let him leave as soon as possible.

Stoke City Vs Liverpool: Reds To “Stand Up And Fight” Against Stoke’s Challenge
Stoke City’s Britannia Stadium isn’t the best place for weakened teams to recharge their batteries. Arsenal and Manchester United can tell you just how much strength and luck is needed at times to triumph away to Stoke. Now Liverpool are in a delicate situation presently, hanging on to their current top half position. Their defeat of Chelsea injected some much needed excitement among their supporters, but their very recent 1-1 draw away to Wigan Athletic has somehow brought disappointment once again.
Unfortunately for Liverpool, they couldn’t capitalize on Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland’s draw. Eventually, they still seat behind these two teams in 9th position with 16 points like 5 other English Premier League contenders.
Wigan Athletic vs Liverpool: Will The Reds Continue Their Revival?
This is a game that Liverpool are supposed to win – considering comparisons between both teams’ caliber. But nowadays, anyone would tell you that anything could happen – especially since Liverpool are going through tough moments.
