Premier League – Manchester City vs Liverpool Predictions
Last season, running neck and neck towards the Premier League title, the two matches between Manchester City and Liverpool produced some excellent football and quite a lot of drama.

Match Highlights – Barcelona vs Elche
A new season, but a familiar feeling at the Nou Camp, as Barcelona come away with a 3-0 win over Elche.

Arsenal FC – Olivier Giroud Isn’t Useless After All
Deep down inside, Arsene Wenger wishes he had a better striker than Olivier Giroud. However, on the current Arsenal team, he is the best he’s got, which is weird (or not, depending on how familiar you are with the French manager’s logic) he’d put himself with his back against the wall until opting to use the forward to save himself from the first loss of the season.

Vikings Over Chiefs – A Good Reason to Panic
Right now, it’s hard to say the Minnesota Vikings look formidable going heading into the new season, but in their 30-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs both Matt Cassel and Teddy Bridgewater made strong cases to be the starting quarterback, while on the other side of the equation, Alex Smith had himself yet another awful performance.

While there was a preseason game which the Houston Texans won 18-17, handing the Denver Broncos their first loss of the summer, most of the attention went to the dirty hit delivered by D.J.
