Manchester United beat Chelsea 4-0. Here’s how the Sri Lankan social media fans reacted during the match. It was the opening game of the season and both sets of fans were looking forward to it with wishful thinking. Few years back #MUNCHE was the top game of the season. Now both are fighting to get back into top 4. What a game to have as your first one of the season. #MUFC— Sameera (@sameera79) August 11, 2019 So who are the favorites before the game? On paper #MUFC has the better defense while #CHE has the better midfield. Devils has the better forward line mainly because of the Chelsea striker is an unknown quantity. #MUNCHE— Sameera (@sameera79) August 11, 2019

Álvaro Morata Player Analysis
Morata is now Chelsea's record signing and the most expensive Spanish player in history after completing a £70 million switch from Real Madrid.

The Unwarranted Stigma Against Money in Football
“Some people believe that football is a matter of life and death. I’m very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much more important than that.” – Bill Shankly The world of football is one filled with passion. Players, managers, backroom staff, and fans would go to any lengths to craft a victory for the team they support. For a while now football has been the biggest sport in the world. Along with the globalization of football came the advent of money in to the sport. From multi-million dollar television deals and sponsorships to clubs being bought over by some of the richest business people in the world, the flow of cash in to the game has been
The Rise of Victor Moses!
A man reborn. Phoenix rising from the ashes. Back from the dead. Any phrase would be a fitting reflection on the Nigerian’s meteoric rise under Antonio Conte. In the ‘Battle of the Bridge’ against Tottenham, Victor Moses looked real dangerous. Every time he had the ball, he looked to steam forward. Spurs had their task cut out.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Preview : Something’s Gotta Give
Its Antonio Conte’s successive wins vs Mauricio Pochettino’s unbeaten run. The question is, who will lose out? Antonio Conte has settled in well. Defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal was turbulence — especially if you are a Chelsea manager. But the Italian tactician has since switched to a 3–5–2 formation. The Blues have not lost since. Chelsea sit at the top of the pack. But whats more impressive is that they haven’t conceded in the last 6 matches. That’s close to 600 minutes of football people! Conte’s unit are one of the most in-form teams in Europe. Tottenham have not won at Stamford Bridge in a long time — 29 in all competitions. The odds favor the Blues to make it 30. Tottenham are reeling. The midweek
