Transfer Talk: Frenkie de Jong thriving at Barcelona after turning down Manchester United transfer

1 month ago LiveScore

Frenkie de Jong rejected Manchester United in order to fight for his place at Barcelona last summer — and that is turning out to be an inspired decision so far. As he prepares to face the Red Devils in the return leg of their Europa League knockout round play-off, we turn the spotlight on the Blaugrana playmaker’s impressive campaign. Summer sagaUnited’s pursuit of De Jong was one of the sagas of last summer, with Ten Hag identifying the 25-year-old as the ideal addition to implement a transformation of the Red Devils' fortunes. That certainly looked to be the case, particularly in the first half, against the Red Devils last week. With Pedri injured and Gavi suspended for tonight's clash, De Jong will take centre stage for his first appearance at the Theatre of Dreams.

Ajax vs Liverpool predictions: Salah can prove the key for Liverpool

Liverpool head to Ajax on Wednesday night knowing if they avoid defeat, they will seal their qualification to the knockout stages. The Reds have been below par so far this term but they have won three of their opening four European group games, to put them in a strong position to qualify from Group A. They face a stern test though against an Ajax team that need a win to keep alive their slender hopes of qualifying for the Champions League last-16. It is the Premier League team that have the advantage in the recent head-to-head stats, winning all three of their previous meetings — including a 1-0 success in Amsterdam in the 2020-21 season. Mohamed Salah has scored in each of the last three Champions League ties, including the opener in a 2-1 win against Ajax at Anfield back in September.

West Ham vs Brentford predictions: Bees could sting out-of-sorts Hammers

Worryingly for Moyes, a fourth-successive league defeat puts the Hammers just two points above bottom side Southampton. And while the West Ham manager may not have expected any points against Arsenal, he would have wanted a more convincing performance to boost confidence ahead of an upcoming run of must-win meetings with fellow strugglers. The Bees have also lost only four of 16 Premier League matches overall, beating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in their last road trip and thrashing Manchester United 4-0 early in the season. Only the top three have lost fewer games than Thomas Frank’s men this season and they also did the double over the Hammers last term. It is hard to see an out-of-form West Ham side picking up all three points, but the Bees’ tendency towards stalemates in matches they should have won makes them a slight danger in the outright market.

Leicester vs Newcastle predictions: In-form duo to play out entertaining contest

Only two teams picked up more top-flight points than Leicester across their last six matches before the break, one of those being leaders Arsenal and the other Newcastle. The statsLeicester's return to form has been obvious to see, as after taking just a solitary point from their opening seven league matches of the season, they have accumulated 16 from the eight since. Newcastle claimed a 2-1 victory when these two sides most recently met at St James' in April, but their last visit to the King Power ended in a comprehensive 4-0 defeat just over 12 months ago. PredictionThese two sides are both trending in the right direction and, with confidence flowing, there could be goals on the agenda. Leicester have scored two or more goals in six of their last seven games across all competitions, while Newcastle have netted in 12 of their 15 league fixtures this term.

Premier League: Predictions for all eight games on Saturday

There are eight games on the Premier League card this Saturday, which is double the number played seven days ago — here are our expert writers' top selections for each of those fixtures. However, the Citizens' clear quality advantage should eventually make the difference and the draw/Manchester City half-time/full-time double result could pay at 11/4 with LiveScore Bet. Brentford vs Wolves (Saturday, 3pm)Brentford can generally be trusted in front of their own fans — and even more so against a toothless Wolves side who look utterly devoid of confidence. But those runs cannot go on forever as there is a large element of fortune swinging things in opposite directions for the two managers. Newcastle vs Aston Villa (Saturday, 3pm)Aston Villa have an awful record away to Newcastle and look destined to suffer against an in-form team that have picked up a joint league-high 13 points across the last five Premier League rounds.

Europa Conference League predictions: Slovacko could be a surprise package

Matchday five of the Europa Conference League looks set to see a series of qualification issues settled across Europe. First up, though, an intriguing clash in Group D, where Czech underdogs Slovacko are looking to turn the table on its head in the final two group games as they take on a Bundesliga heavyweight. Slovacko v Cologne (Thursday, 5.45pm)The statsSlovacko sit bottom of Group D but are level on points with Cologne and just a point behind Ligue 1 side Nice. They could yet even usurp Partizan and top the section if they win their final two games and results go their way.
