There’s little doubt that the game between Liverpool and Manchester United is the most anticipated English match of the weekend. The Premier League leaders will face the only team that they didn’t beat so far in the campaign. Let’s take a look at both sides and see if there are any interesting bets available. Liverpool After going painfully close to the title last season, Liverpool has improved further and it seems like nothing can stop the side from winning the English Premier League this term. The Reds have the best defense in the whole league and a formidable attacking trio. The likes of M ..read more

The Africa Cup of Nations 2021 will be played in the winter instead of the summer. The hosts Cameroon requested the change to avoid extreme weather conditions that might disrupt the tournament. The new schedule means that AFCON 2021 will start on January 9 and end on February 6. That’s right in the middle of the English Premier League season and will certainly hit some clubs hard. In this article, I will assess the potential effects and determine which English teams will suffer the most from the decision. Liverpool Will Take the Hardest Hit Liverpool is the first club that immediately comes t ..read more

One of the top priorities for Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer this summer is to fix up his leaky defence. Last season, not many United defenders manage to make a mark, and it appears that the club has decided to target defenders with Premier League experience this summer. Firstly, United have been strongly linked with Crystal Palace full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka. United have already seen a £40m bid rejected by Palace, but they are hopeful that a deal can be reached soon. The English youngster is also said to be keen on joining United. The Red Devils are also hot in pursuit of Lei ..read more

Manchester United have received encouraging news in their pursuit of Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka. According to Sky Sports, Wan-Bissaka favours a move to Old Trafford this summer. United’s interest in the Palace right-back is not a fresh news, and reportedly, they have already seen their initial bid of £40m rejected by the Eagles. However, the Red Devils are expected to go back with a better bid for the England U21 international. They are also keeping tabs on PSG’s Thomas Meunier and Tottenham’s Kieran Trippier. Meanwhile, United have no interest in signing Gareth Bale from Rea ..read more

Video assistant referees are set to be used in the Premier League next season after clubs agreed in principle to the move. The Premier League will now make a formal request to the International Football Association Board and Fifa. VAR was used at the 2018 World Cup, is in operation in Italy and Germany’s top divisions, and has been utilised in some FA Cup and Carabao Cup games. The Premier League has been carrying out “non-live” trials this season. VAR will also be used in the Champions League from next season. There have been growing calls for it to be introduced into the English t ..read more

All 20 Premier League clubs have been asked for a £250,000 contribution so that the league’s outgoing executive chairman Richard Scudamore can be given a £5m farewell gift. The clubs were asked for the money before a meeting on Tuesday. It is expected they will agree to Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck’s request. Scudamore, 59, who is reportedly paid £2.5m per season, is stepping down next month after 19 years at the organisation, with various names being suggested as his replacement -for more information you could visit the bet365 review on match-bonus-code.co.uk to see who co ..read more

Wilfried Zaha has committed his long-term contract future to Crystal Palace by signing a new contract and in the process becomes the highest paid player in the club’s history. The new contract which contains no release clause will take Zaha until the end of the 2022/23 campaign and is believed to be worth £130,000/week. Zaha’s importance to Palace cannot be overstated with Roy Hodgson’s side failing to secure a single point in his absence last season. The Ivory Coast international scored nine times last term as Palace overcame a difficult start to survive and has started this season in simila ..read more

Crystal Palace have completed a remarkable turnaround this season, and they could move into the top-half of the table with a win over West Bromwich Albion at Selhurst Park on Sunday. The Eagles are undefeated in their last five games, and this run has helped them move away from the struggle at the bottom. As things stand, they are 11th in the table with 41 points. A win on Sunday would most probably see them leapfrog Newcastle United in the tenth spot. Palace looked certain for relegation after losing their opening seven fixtures of the season. However, Roy Hodgson has not only steadied the s ..read more

Crystal Palace will go for three points against an out-of-form Leicester City at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Following a disastrous start to the season, the Eagles find themselves on the verge of securing their Premier League status. Palace are 14th in the table with 35 points. They have built up a five-point buffer between themselves and the bottom three. Another three points on Saturday would almost secure their safety. The Eagles have been in decent form and are undefeated in their last three games. Last weekend, they played a goalless draw at Watford, and in their last home fixture, Roy Ho ..read more
