Crystal Palace...

It's a tough being a goalkeeper. That old saying, 'who'd be a goalkeeper?' isn't flung around without reason. As the primary guardian of the goal, any minor mistake you may make is thrust into the limelight and you're immediately seen as the bad guy. Striker misses a glaring chance to score? Generally forgotten about soon enough. Goalkeeper fumbles one into the net? Yeah, the streets don't forget. A common sight for Kepa this season And in the case of Kepa Arrizabalaga, however or whenever his...

one Tottenham and Newcastle have both made enquiries regarding the availability of highly-rated Lille midfielder Jonathan Ikone. The 22-year-old - who can play anywhere across the midfield or in an advanced number ten role - was in impressive form before the 2019/20 Ligue 1 campaign was curtailed early because of coronavirus, notching four goals and six assists. Ikone has already been capped by his country Those numbers, although not earth shattering, marked Ikone's best return in a single...

While many applaud Manchester United's famous academy for its production of the 'Class of '92' that saw the likes of David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs all become household names, there are also those who ridicule it for its hit and miss nature in recent years. When you produce as many academy players as Manchester United, some are bound to flop. It doesn't help, however, when every single prospect is treated as the 'next big thing' even when, you know, clearly aren't. Still, though,...

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed striker Sergio Agüero will not recover from his knee injury in time to face Real Madrid in the Champions League. Agüero needed surgery on the season-ending injury which he picked up during the first half of City's 5-0 win over Burnley in late June, but there was a cautious hope that he might be able to bounce back in time to face Real on 7 August. Aguero limped off in first-half injury time against Burnley Well, that hope has been completely...

It's the 11th edition of the series, and it's a special one. After Thursday's turgid, woeful draw in Bournemouth, it's finally time to pull the trigger, and ask the question on everyone's lips. José Mourinho: what's going on, buddy? When he returned to English football in November, back when 'Corona' was nothing more than a slightly-too-sweet Mexican beer and Steven Gerrard was still a Rangers hero, we were promised something different. #thfc chairman Daniel Levy was blown away by Jose...

Jose Mourinho will take charge of his first north London derby on Sunday, but while the hype and excitement around the fixture takes precedent, there is no denying that the circumstances surrounding his Tottenham side could be distinctly better. Some limp displays since the Premier League returned have cast a dark cloud over the club's goals this season, and heading into their clash with Arsenal they sit one point and one place behind them in a lowly ninth place. ? "Hello José, can you hear...

When the Liverpool hierarchy sanctioned the £36.9m purchase of Mohamed Salah in June 2017 – a transfer that represented Jürgen Klopp’s most expensive acquisition of his managerial career at the time – there was a collective raising of eyebrows among English football fans. Salah had spent the past two and half seasons in Serie A looking to reignite his career following a disastrous spell with Chelsea - where he twice found himself shipped out on loan. Salah has proven to instrumental in...

Whether a corner has been turned at Arsenal or not, there is the small matter of a north London derby to contend with on Sunday - the Gunners' first ever visit to the new home of their bitter rivals. Recent weeks would suggest that the current trajectories of both clubs are leading towards different paths, but for matches such as these, the 'form book goes out of the window' phrase always comes into play. Tottenham vs. Arsenal is such an engrossing Premier League fixture that rarely...

The Premier League has admitted to making errors - both awarding and not awarding penalties - in all three of the top flight's Thursday fixtures. Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes won a penalty for his side in their away clash to Aston Villa, James Ward-Prowse likewise for Southampton with a spot-kick against Everton, while Harry Kane should have won his side a penalty after being shoved in the back by Josh King at the Vitality Stadium. If Spurs don't win this game, DO NOT let Mourinho see...

Say what you like about the ethically ambiguous, reportedly-exploitative decision-makers over at Amazon - but they know a football story when they see one. When they chose to do a documentary on Manchester City in 2017, it just so happened that Pep Guardiola's side went on to register a league record 100 points, winning the Premier League by a league record margin and generally being one of the best teams English football has ever seen. When they chose to do a documentary on Tottenham Hotspur...
