Football predictions

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lalana, who has emerged as a standout in the Manchester United derby and has dealt a hit that equaled the Merseyside, believes there will be plenty of chances to make an appearance during the season. The Englishman has only had one match by football blog since the start of the season and a total of five Premier League games in the last two campaigns, but he believes he can make a much bigger contribution this year.

`I`m pleased. It`s good that I was able to make such a contribution. I feel that this is the first of the big moments to come this season. That I didn`t start in any of the first nine games does not meanthat I will not have a big role in this team. Could this be my season? Yes, of course. The season will be very long. We also have the World Club Championship, Champions League this week, Premier League again at the weekend, then`Karabao Cup` . . . The important thing is to stay strong and be ready at all times. I have to focus on that. Olin`m sure I can have an impact when I get the chance, `said Lala.
