The 9th round of the new La Liga season features a highly anticipated clash, with Spanish giants Real Madrid traveling to face Getafe. Real Madrid currently sit at the top of the table with 21 points from 7 wins and 1 loss, leading Barcelona by 2 points, showing strong form. Getafe, on the other hand, have been average, collecting just 3 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses in 8 rounds, placing 11th with 11 points. In terms of overall strength, Real Madrid clearly have the advantage.

The good news is that Yamal has resumed training and is fit to play, and Fermin, despite a left iliac muscle injury, has also returned to training. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is expected to adjust the tactical setup from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-3, with Yamal, Rashford, and Fermin forming the front three.

To shake off recent setbacks, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is expected to field his strongest lineup without reservation. Below is a predicted starting XI for Liverpool in this match.

Then there’s Sunderland, whose performance has been shocking! At this rate, a decline seems inevitable, though relegation shouldn’t be a huge issue. Right now, their points tally is the same as Chelsea’s—pretty hilarious! If Chelsea still wants to contend for the title, they’ll need to step it up, because this team is like a mischievous child—unpredictable, swinging between good and bad form.

Tottenham currently sit third in the Premier League, showing impressive stability with 6 wins, 3 draws, and just 1 defeat in their recent run. Under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs’ possession-based system has matured — they excel at creating chances through wing play and incisive through balls, and they remain particularly dangerous in the final stages of matches, scoring 23% of their goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Liverpool enter this clash in better overall form, with superior squad depth and tactical cohesion. Their home advantage, attacking fluidity, and late-game finishing edge make them clear favorites. Manchester United’s defensive injuries and inconsistent performances suggest they’ll struggle to contain Liverpool’s dynamic forward line.

Atalanta have made a steady start to the Serie A season, remaining unbeaten after six matches (2 wins and 4 draws), currently sitting 6th in the standings. However, their recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with 3 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 matches. Tactically, Atalanta emphasize attacking creativity — excelling in long-range shots, through balls, and rapid counterattacks — while also maintaining an aggressive approach in possession and pressing.

AC Milan currently sit 3rd in the Serie A table with 13 points, boasting a solid record of 6 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 matches. The Rossoneri’s form has been steady — they recently held Juventus to a 0–0 draw away from home and previously defeated Napoli, Lecce, and Udinese. Both offensively and defensively, Milan have maintained a well-balanced performance.

Luckily for the Clippers, the Warriors missed the game-tying shot in the final moments, and Los Angeles narrowly won 106–103. Notably, Paul, Leonard, Harden, Paul, Batum, and Lopez all did not play in this game.

In a recent NBA preseason game, the Houston Rockets, resting almost all of their key players, defeated the Atlanta Hawks 133–115. The win extended the Rockets’ p

This season, Arsenal’s performance in the Premier League has been impressive. Former Gunners star Paul Merson recently stated in an interview that if Arsenal can secure a victory in their upcoming clash against Fulham, they will have a strong chance of comfortably winning the league title. His comments have sparked widespread discussion among fans and are worth examining in detail.

Last season, Manchester United’s performance fell far short of expectations. They finished only 14th in the Premier League and lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final, completely missing out on European competition for the new season. Despite this, United still spent €250 million in this summer’s transfer market, signing players such as Shesko, Cunha, Mbombo, and Ramens. However, their transfer strategy has clearly shifted.
