Hello everyone. welcome to the first episode of the contest "weekend around the clock". We are done with the champions league and we have the league games waiting for us this weekend. In admiration to that, here is a contest with 10 SCR up for grab.
Match 1: Liverpool vs Manchester city
Date: 10 Nov, 2019
Time: 17:30
Venue: Anfield
This is one of the disturbing matches in EPL as both teams are sweating hard to stay at the top while the other wants to regain control of the top table. This will be the 85th EPL match between league leaders and reigning champions. Of course, any one who wins stretches a hand to the title. However, record hold that Liverpool have won more EPL games against defending champions that any other side and have only lost one out of 28 top flight games against Manchester city. Liverpool with a win shoots them further beyond the reach of Manchester city on the table whereas a win for City will draw them closer to the top. A draw keeps both at the same pace and in jeopardy as other sides climbs the ladder. Guardiola started stirring the pot last weekend, when he suggested Liverpool forward Sadio Mané is “sometimes diving” after the Reds secured a dramatic last-minute winner at Aston Villa. Klopp hit back that Guardiola was “fixated” on Liverpool and referenced “tactical fouls”, which City has been accused of in the past. Guardiola has since retracted his claim about Mané and refused to be drawn on Klopp’s dig about fouls. “I don’t put oil in the fire,” he said. But the fire is already raging after the mind games and another element could be added by VAR. With the Premier League still struggling to use VAR effectively, expect at least one controversial moment on Sunday that both managers will certainly have an opinion on.
Match 2: Juventus vs AC Milan
Date: 10 Nov, 2019
Time: 20:45
venue: Allianz Arena
Another fierce battle this weekend in Italy as league leaders battle it out with 11th positioned AC Milan. This is their 169th meetings in the seria A and the season has been one of the worst for Milan over sometime now having lost 6 out of eleven games. The old ladies are outrightly the favourite here for a win but who knows if their visitor will put am end to their lossless streak.
Match 3: Marseille vs Lyon
Date: 10 Nov, 2019
Time: 21:00
venue: Stade Orange Velodrome
Lyon who sits 10th at the Ligue 1 table travels to face 4th position Marseille. The host have recklessly lost five Ligue 1 games against their Sunday evening visitors and it stands to be their longest losing run against them. They've equally not had a beautiful home run in their last 21 matches against Lyon, winning just three with ten draws and 8 losses. They out to be at their best this weekend to maintain the top four or they dance out.
Match 4: Bayern München vs Borussia Dortmund
Date: 09 Nov, 2019
Time: 18:30
Venue: Allianz Arena
The host who sits at 4th position in the Bundesliga table, one point behind second position Dortmund will definitely be at their best on Saturday against league rivals. Having lost woefully against Frankfurt (5-1) and sacking their coach as a result, they stand a chance to redeem their reputation and get to a safer top foir position on the table with a win over their visitors. Record shows that the visitors have lost 49 times against Bayern with a whooping sum of 195 goals in the Bundesliga. Who Will Saturday gift with a win?
Match 5: Leicester City vs Arsenal
Date: 09 Nov, 2019
Time: 18:30
Venue: Kings power stadium
The 2015/16 EPL winners are having a thrilling and outstanding performance this season with their joint highest scoring league defeat against Southampton. They host Arsenal on Saturday and a win at hope will keep their hope for the title race afloat. Unai Emery has won only one out of his last five EPL matches and has been undergoing tormenting pressures from fans lately. Will he be able to secure an away win against the foxes who are enjoy in 4/5 wins in EPL? The Londoners travels without Dani Ceballos who sustained and suffered an hamstring strain in a 1-1 draw against Vitoria on Wednesday Europa league clash. Granit Xhaka is yet to start too after the fan-player incident in a 2-2 draw against crystal palace.
