4 reasons Liverpool will win the Premier League

Liverpool players celebrate Luis Diaz’s goal against Manchester United, Premier League 2021/22

madisonsportsgroup – The race for the Premier League title 2021/2022 will be decided in the final match. Liverpool still have a chance to be champions.

Liverpool are now in second place in the standings with 89 points. They are one point behind Manchester City at the top.

There is only one game left in the Premier League competition. All final week matches will be held simultaneously on Sunday (22/5).

Liverpool will face Wolverhampton at Anfield Stadium. At the same time, Manchester City will face Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City are the favorites to win the Premier League. However, Jurgen Klopp’s team also still has a chance to become champions.

Here are four reasons Liverpool will win the Premier League.

Liverpool can beat Wolverhampton

To be able to win the Premier League, Liverpool must win over Wolverhampton. At the same time they also have to hope Manchester City slip.

To beat Wolves, Liverpool does not seem to have a problem. They managed to beat Bruno Lage’s side at Molineux 1-0 in the first meeting.

This time Liverpool will face Wolves in front of their own supporters. Support from the host will help the Reds win three points over their guests this time.

Villa can make it difficult for Man City

Aston Villa’s performance under Steven Gerrard is not too special. However, they have the potential to make it difficult for Manchester City.

Villa are unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches. They won two wins and two draws.

In their last two away games, Villa were able to beat Burnley and hold Leicester City to a draw. Manchester City are very likely to drop points against Villa.

Hope in Ex

There are three former Liverpool in the Aston Villa squad. They are attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho, striker Danny Ings, and the coach Steven Gerrard.

They will certainly exert their best ability to stem Manchester City. Thus, Liverpool’s path to champions is wide open.

If it wasn’t for Liverpool, Gerrard would also want to win. An additional three points can make Villa in a better position than their current position in the Premier League standings (14).

Manchester City Once Slipped

Manchester City has also slipped when facing a team whose level is below it. Josep Guardiola’s team lost points at home.

Crystal Palace beat Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Southampton also held the Citizens to a 0-0 draw.

Aston Villa have a chance to make Manchester City drop points in front of their own supporters. If that happens, Liverpool should be able to take advantage of it.

Legend! Klopp confirms Origi will leave Liverpool

Divock Origi celebrates after scoring a goal in the Merseyside derby between Liverpool vs Everton in Week 34 of the 2021-22 Premier League at Anfield, Sunday (24/04/2022)

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Divock Origi will leave Anfield and he will move to another club with legend status.

Origi was recruited by Liverpool from Lille in 2014. He was loaned earlier to the French club.
Origi then struggled to become a regular starter. He is more familiar with the bench.

However, Origi is loved by Liverpool fans. Because when he came on as a substitute, he often scored crucial goals for the Reds.

Special Farewell to Origi

Divock Origi’s contract at Liverpool is coming to an end. He is also rumored to have definitely left Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp then confirmed that Origi would leave Liverpool. And in the last game of the Reds this season, he will get a special farewell party.

“We can only do that with those we know for sure, and that’s just Div. Yes, I wish Div a special welcome and a farewell,” he told the Liverpool Echo.

Liverpool Legend Origi

Jurgen Klopp added, Divock Origi will not just leave Liverpool. He will move to another club with a status that cannot be easily obtained by other players, namely a legend.

“He was and will forever be a Liverpool legend, one of the most important players I’ve ever had. It sounds really strange considering the number of games he has had but it was and is a pure joy to work with him. It’s not over yet – just Premier games. The last league – but he deserves all the good thoughts we can somehow generate for his future, and wherever he goes he will be successful, 100%.”

“What an amazing player, an amazing kid, everyone in the team loves him because he’s such an easygoing guy and a really fun guy. It’s going to be a tough time when he actually leaves, it won’t happen now, but whenever it is.” it’s going to be difficult,” he said.

“Since I’ve been here, Div has been here. I remember a lot of things when I think about the incredible Div, some important goals, some serious injuries, ups and downs. He is a Liverpool legend, no doubt about it,” Klopp said.

Chelsea vs Leicester City Prediction May 20, 2022

Chelsea will host Leicester City in the postponed match week 27 of the Premier League 2021/22, Friday 20 May 2022. The Premier League match at Stamford Bridge is scheduled to kick-off at 02:00 WIB.

One win from the remaining two matches will ensure Chelsea finish in third place. For Chelsea, who just lost to Liverpool on penalties in the FA Cup final, third place can be a bit of a treat for disappointment.

However, beating Leicester is not an easy mission for the Blues. Because, Leicester are in good form after successively beating Norwich 3-0 and Watford 5-1. The striker Jamie Vardy scored two goals each in those two games.

In the 12th week, Chelsea won 3-0 at home to Leicester through goals from Chelsea Antonio Rudiger, N’Golo Kante, and Christian Pulisic.

This time, instead of serving Leicester at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea should also be able to win. However, if you look at their recent performance, it will be a little difficult to get the three points.

Estimated Line-up

Chelsea (3-4-2-1): Mendy; Sarr, Rudiger, Azpilicueta; Alonso, Jorginho, Kante, James; Mount, Ziyech; Lukaku.

Coach: Thomas Tuchel.

Squad info: Chilwell (injured), Hudson-Odoi (injured), Christensen (doubtful), Silva (doubtful), Havertz (doubtful), Werner (doubtful).

There is no Lionel Messi, this is the best team in Ligue 1 2021/2022

Ligue 1 has released the best team for the 2021/2022 season. PSG players dominate the names in the starting eleven.

PSG has indeed appeared very dominant in Ligue 1 this season. Mauricio Pochettino’s men became champions with a very far advantage over their nearest competitor.

Le Parisiens has collected 83 points from 37 matches. They also managed to score 85 goals and conceded 36 times.

PSG’s success cannot be separated from the good performance of its players. Neymar and his friends have shown their best ability throughout the season.

Ligue 1 Best Team

There are four PSG players who are included in the best team of Ligue 1 2021/2022. They are Kylian Mbappe, Nuno Mendes, Marquinhos and Gianluigi Donnarumma.

There is no name for Lionel Messi who has just joined PSG this season. The reason may be that La Pulga’s performance has not been consistent with Les Parisiens.

In addition to PSG players, there are a number of other players who are also on the list. Call it William Saliba, Wissam Ben Yedder to Dimitri Payet.

Ligue 1 Player of the Year

In addition to being included in the best team, Kylian Mbappe also won the Ligue 1 best player award this season. This is the third award he has won.

3 reasons Juventus won’t sack Allegri even without a…

3 reasons Juventus won’t sack Allegri even without a trophy this season

This season has been quite a disappointing season for Juventus. Together with coach Massimiliano Allegri, the Bianconeri failed to win a trophy.

In Serie A, Juventus can no longer compete in the race for the Scudetto. In the Supercoppa Italiana final, Juventus were defeated by Inter Milan 1-2 in extra time. In the Champions League, Juventus were eliminated by Villarreal in the round of 16. In the Coppa Italia final, Juventus were also defeated by Inter in extra time with a score of 2-4.

Juventus director Pavel Nedved has reportedly complained to club president Andrea Agnelli about Allegri’s incompetence. Nedved’s disappointment is also in line with the majority of Bianconeri supporters.

However, Agnelli is said to not be sacking Allegri. He will continue to manage Juventus next season.

Reported by Football Italia, there are at least three reasons underlying Agnelli’s decision.

Still Believe Allegri

The first reason is that Agnelli still believes in Allegri. Agnelli believes that Allegri is still the most suitable person to handle the Bianconeri.

As is known, Juventus left by Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United at the beginning of the season. Losing a goalscorer like Ronaldo has put Juventus in quite a difficult situation.

In a transitional period like this, the work of the coach who had brought Juventus to 11 championship titles was also considered not entirely disappointing.

Expensive

This season is the first of Allegri’s second spell at Juventus. By the club, he is contracted until 2025.

Juventus gave Allegri €7 million per season plus bonuses. The contract is quite expensive.

If Juventus sack Allegri after only one season, then the compensation they have to pay is quite large.

Qualify for Champions League

Juventus‘ journey this season has encountered many obstacles. Apart from being left behind by Cristiano Ronaldo, even though Juventus did not prepare a replacement, they are also often hit by a storm of injuries.

One of the players whose injury made Juventus lose a lot is Federico Chiesa.

These situations have a major impact on Allegri’s work in concocting teams to get optimal results. However, even so, Allegri is still able to bring Juventus to a confirmed top four finish in Serie A and qualify for the Champions League next season.

It’s natural that Agnelli still believes in his abilities.

2021/2022 FA Cup Final Schedule: Chelsea Vs Liverpool Hot Battle

This weekend, there will be a fierce duel for the 2021/2022 FA Cup title. Yes, Chelsea will meet Liverpool in the final at Wembley Stadium, Saturday (14/5/2022) night at 22:45 WIB.

Previously, Liverpool managed to get rid of Manchester City in the FA Cup semifinals. The Reds won 3-2 over The Citizens, through Ibrahima Konate’s goals, and two goals from Sadio Mane.

While Chelsea advanced to the top party after ejecting Crystal Palace with a score of 2-0 in the semifinals. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount scored two goals for Chelsea.

For both teams, this meeting will also be a repeat of the Carabao Cup final this season. Liverpool came out as champions at that time by winning on penalties 11-10 (0-0) at Wembley Stadium, February 28, 2022.

It’s worth waiting for who will come out victorious in the 2021/2022 FA Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool this weekend.

Match Schedule

2021/2022 FA Cup Final

Chelsea Vs Liverpool
Saturday, 14 May 2022
Wembley Stadium
Kick-off: 22.45 WIB

Chelsea is expected to appear with full strength in the FA Cup final match. Thomas Tuchel has no worries about playing his main 11 mainstay. The remaining EPL matches do not determine anything for the Blues. On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp in the Liverpool camp still has to think about the condition of the players before determining the starting line-up.

The reason is, the Reds still have to play the remaining 3 Premier League matches and face Real Madrid in the UCL final. However, the Liverpool squad is filled with high confidence after successfully beating Aston Villa 1-2 on Tuesday (10/5) night. The Reds had trailed 1-0 early in the game before turning things around through goals from Joel Matip and Sadio Mane.

In that match, Klopp did not field his best squad. Thiago, Mohamed Salah, and Firmino were not introduced since the start of the match. This is recognized by Klopp as something difficult to do. However, in the end it yielded positive results. “I’ve known the players for a long time – if I asked them they would all say, ‘I can play’, so I didn’t ask. I have to make this decision myself,” explained the German coach. “Now we have to recover, really recover and then play in the FA Cup final because obviously there is no mercy anywhere. We caused this situation to happen by qualifying for all the finals, which is obviously something really big.” .

Liverpool must be wary of Chelsea’s strength. Moreover, the Blues will welcome the match later with a mission of revenge. In the Carabao Cup final last February, the London Blues lost to the Reds with a score of 11-10 on penalties. However, before realizing the revenge mission, Chelsea still have to undergo 1 match from the EPL event this week. Precisely on Thursday (12/5) early morning, the Blues will face Leeds at Elland Road Stadium.

This will be the 4th meeting between the two teams this season. On a number of occasions, the battle between the two teams was always tight. The previous three matches have always ended in a draw in normal time. Most recently, in February, Chelsea met Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. Both played a goalless draw throughout 90 minutes of normal time and 2×15 minutes of extra time. In the end, the Reds managed to become champions after winning the penalty shootout with a score of 11-10.

Tottenham Hotspur Vs Arsenal Line-up – Finding the Last Ticket to the Champions League

Arsenal will try to secure a final ticket to the 2022-2023 Champions League from fellow North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal meet in the postponed match of week 22 of the English League 2021-2022 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Thursday (13/5/2022) local time or Friday 01.45 WIB.

Arsenal are currently in fourth place in the Premier League standings with 66 points.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur followed in fifth position with 62 points.

If they win, Arsenal will certainly finish in the top four of the Premier League standings.

Fourth place will be Arsenal’s highest ranking at the end of the season since the 2015-16 season when they were runners-up.

After the 2015-16 season, Arsenal have always finished outside the top four.

On the other hand, if Tottenham Hotspur wins, then Spurs still maintain hope of overtaking Arsenal on the condition that they can continue to win in the remaining matches and the Gunners slip.

The struggle for fourth place in the Premier League standings is not the only reason the duel between Spurs and Arsenal promises a fierce match.

The two teams are also tied for rival status among North London teams.

Factors of prestige and competition for decades also added to the weight of the meeting on Friday this morning WIB.

Quoted from BolaSport.com from the official Premier League website, Arsenal’s task is far from easy.

Tottenham Hotspur are unbeaten in their last seven home games against Arsenal in the Premier League.

The Lilywhites won five and drew twice against Arsenal in the Premier League.

It was Spurs’ longest unbeaten streak at home against Arsenal after the period between 1960 and 1968.

At that time, Spurs managed to go nine games unbeaten against Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur again make Harry Kane as a pedestal on the front lines.

Harry Kane is the top scorer in the North London derby in all competitions.

He has scored against Arsenal 11 times from 16 matches.

Kane has the opportunity to add to his goals in this match, as well as ending the goal drought in the last two meetings against Arsenal.
In the Arsenal camp, Mikel Arteta lowered Bukayo Saka as a starter.

Saka became one of Arsenal’s goalscorers in the 3-1 win over Spurs in the Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium.

Chelsea vs Liverpool FA Cup Final Prediction: Germany Coach Duel for Historic Trophy

The following is the prediction for the English FA Cup final match between Chelsea vs Liverpool on Saturday (14/05/22) evening WIB, the duel between German coaches to win the historic trophy on British soil.

Competing at Wembley stadium, a fierce duel for the trophy from the world’s oldest football championship, the FA Cup, will bring together Chelsea against 6 champions, Liverpool.

Ahead of the meeting between the two teams, Chelsea as a club capable of appearing in the last two FA Cup finals, looks less favored than Liverpool.

Although in the 2011/12 FA Cup final, Chelsea managed to beat Liverpool with a score of 2-1, but throughout 2022, the performance and internal conditions of the Blues are in an unfavorable situation.

After being left by Roman Abramovich as the owner of the club, Chelsea’s performances so far have not found good consistency.

It is evident from Chelsea’s last five matches in all competitions, Thomas Tuchel’s squad has only experienced two wins and two draws.

In contrast to Liverpool, which looks very superior after recording four wins and only one draw from the last five games.

In addition, Chelsea also seemed not to be sheltered by the goddess of luck in the FA Cup final. Where in the last two editions, the Blues failed to win after falling in the top match.

Not only fighting for the prestigious FA Cup title, the Chelsea vs Liverpool duel will also be a competition for German coaches in each team.

In the Chelsea camp, there is Thomas Tuchel who managed to bring the Blues to win the Champions League last season, while at Liverpool there is Jurgen Klopp, who has been at Anfield for 7 years.

Both have flashy achievements on the blue continent, it is interesting to look forward to the duel of fellow English League giants in the race for the FA Cup title this season at the weekend.

Player to Watch Mason Mount (Chelsea) Facing Liverpool which is known to have a tough and difficult defense line, Chelsea is predicted to maximize the speed of its midfielders to provide through passes. One of the players who could be the key to Chelsea’s game later is Mason Mount.

Playing behind the main striker, the 23-year-old midfielder will serve as a liaison between the midfield and forwards and regulate the rhythm of the Blues’ game. Mason Mount’s vision of play has looked very good all season. Evidently, he became Chelsea’s most assists contributor with 16 in all competitions. In addition, Mason Mount also has a pretty sharp goal instinct. Noted, the former Derby County player was able to score 13 goals and became the top scorer for both clubs after Romelu Lukaku.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Meanwhile in the Liverpool camp, the presence of Mohamed Salah is clearly a serious threat to Chelsea’s defense. The Egyptian player must receive special attention from the Blues defenders. The reason is, throughout this 21/22 season, Mohamed Salah looks to be at his peak of form by scoring 30 goals and providing 16 assists from 48 matches. When meeting Chelsea in the Premier League this season, Mohamed Salah was also very dangerous where he always managed to score one goal from a total of two meetings.

Reflecting on these statistics, it is very clear that Mohamed Salah will be one of the dangerous players for Chelsea and must be wary of the defenders of Thomas Tuchel’s squad. Chelsea Lineup Prediction (3-4-2-1): Edouard Mendy; Trevoh Chalobah, Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rüdiger; Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, N’Golo Kanté, Marcos Alonso; Christian Pulisic, Mason Mount; Romelu Lukaku.

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Joël Matip, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Naby Keïta, Thiago; Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah.
