ews The Premier League is finally back after a three-month hiatus, with Aston Villa's hosting of surprise package Sheffield United one of two opening night offerings. The two sides couldn't have had more contrasting seasons if they tried, having both earned promotion from the Championship during the 2018/19 campaign. Villla have spent money by the truck load, but not even £100m+ worth of signings have been able to steer Dean Smith's side away from relegation trouble. Opponents Sheffield United...

Countless times throughout his 16-year career Lionel Messi has proved that he's simply not human. All those who are blessed with La Liga TV or determined to grind through 90 minutes of scrawny pixelation on a dodgy stream witnessed yet another example on Saturday night. In Barcelona's 4-0 victory over Mallorca, the GOAT churned out a display that shouldn't have been possible following a lengthy three-month lay-off. Bagging a pair of assists and a late right-footed strike, the Argentine's...

With the EFL due to hold its annual general meeting next week, one vote will be angled around reducing the percentage of acceptance needed to have a say in financial rules. This then will likely pave the way for salary caps to be included into EFL competitions for the first time, as a reaction to the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. As per the Daily Mail, major changes could be on the horizon for Championship, League One and League Two clubs, and the upcoming meeting will act as...

Kepa Arrizabalaga is under a lot of pressure. Not only does the weight of being Chelsea's starting goalkeeper come with a lot of expectation but being the world's most expensive shot stopper automatically leaves people expecting you to be... well, the best in the world. For Kepa, that pressure has been too much to handle this season. His performances have generally been nowhere near good enough, and that's got people suggesting that the Spaniard's time at Stamford Bridge could be up already....

Under normal circumstances, Edinson Cavani would not have been short of options upon leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer. However, in the summer of coronavirus - where even Europe's biggest clubs are looking to do their transfer business on a shoestring - the Uruguayan's agent will never have had an easier gig. You can only imagine the strain on his inbox and voicemail as the summer approaches. He might be 33 years old and coming off the back of a difficult 2019/20 season which saw him net...

Diego Costa celebrated his equalising goal against Athletic Club on Sunday afternoon by holding aloft the number 14 shirt of Atletico Madrid Femenino star Virginia Torrecilla, who is recovering from brain surgery. In their first La Liga contest back after the three-month hiatus, Diego Simeone's side were held to a slightly disappointing 1-1 draw at San Mames, with Costa's finish levelling after Iker Muniain had opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half. The draw, incredibly, marked a...

Four Atletico Madrid missed the chance to move into fourth spot in La Liga on Sunday, after being held to 1-1 draw with Athletic on their return to action. Yannick Carrasco came closest to breaking the deadlock at an empty San Mames, but his low effort squirmed just wide of the post to spare Unai Simon's blushes after a bizarre slip in goal. Jan Oblak may not have played in a while, but he showed no signs of rustiness with a flying save after 32 minutes. However, he was powerless to prevent...

eal Chelsea are not close to signing Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz, with all three parties said to be 'miles apart' in terms of striking a potential deal. The Blues shocked the footballing world with their move for RB Leipzig's Timo Werner at the start of June, jumping ahead of rivals Liverpool after agreeing to pay the German's £54m release clause. Chelsea have agreed to pay Timo Werner's £54m release clause at the start of June in a shock move Following that move, reports surfaced of the...

Lionel Messi played a starring role in Barcelona's 4-0 win over Real Mallorca on Saturday (no surprise there), racking up two assists and even adding a goal of his own deep into stoppage time. The Argentine wriggled his way past two defenders before firing home from inside the penalty area to net his 20th goal of the current La Liga season and extend his lead at the top of the goalscoring charts. 20+ - Lionel Messi is the only player to score 20+ goals in 12 consecutive @LaLigaEN seasons: ✅23...

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has insisted that he is yet to make a decision about his future at the club, but added that it's up to the Gunners to make him an acceptable offer. The 30-year-old will enter the final year of his contract at the end of the season and has been heavily linked with a move away - with Barcelona, Inter and Chelsea all believed to have enquired about the striker in recent months. Aubameyang has attracted interest from Barcelona, Inter & Chelsea Given...

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is set to enter into contract talks with the club in the 'coming weeks', with Atlético Madrid still keen on a move for the Frenchman. The forward, who has two years left on his contract at Arsenal, has had a slightly disappointing season by his standards, scoring just nine times goals in 26 appearances as the Gunners have struggled both domestically and in Europe. However, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's future on a knife-edge this summer, ESPN report that...

Bournemouth winger Arnaut Danjuma has revealed that he was arrested by police on suspicion of attempted murder shortly before England went into lockdown, only to be released soon after once officials realised they had the wrong man. The 23-year-old has endured a tough debut season in England, missing Bournemouth's first six games through injury and later picking up a foot problem which has kept him sidelined ever since mid-December. The Bournemouth winger has been sidelined since December with...

The Premier League has been paralysed by fear ever since the coronavirus pandemic took over. It's been a tough time for every club, but nobody has had it worse than Tottenham Hotspur. Ever since football was postponed and the UK was sent into lockdown, it has often felt like Spurs can't go two minutes without being in the public eye for the wrong reasons. Well, that's because they can't. Here, 90min takes a look at everything that has gone wrong for José Mourinho's side in lockdown. 1....

Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson has named the top five teammates from his career thus far, springing a little bit of a surprise with his final selection. The Sunderland academy graduate joined Liverpool for a £16m fee in 2011 and has gone on to make 359 appearances for the Reds, also winning 55 caps for the England national team. Henderson arrived from Sunderland for £16m in 2011 Since he was announced as Liverpool captain in 2015, the Reds have reached back-to-back Champions League finals...

Manchester United could be close to agreeing a new contract for midfielder Angel Gomes, despite interest from rivals Chelsea, as well as clubs on the continent. The highly rated 19-year-old attacking midfielder has found first-team opportunities hard to come by, in spite of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's predilection for giving chances to academy players. Meanwhile, the youngster's current deal is set to expire at the end of this season. While fellow youth team graduates Mason Greenwood and...

Philippe Coutinho has made plea to Jurgen Klopp to take him back to Anfield this summer and be reunited with the club he spent six years at, claims one report. Tedious doesn't quite cut it in the never ending Coutinho transfer saga, with the only certainty being that Barcelona 100%, categorically, do not really fancy him any more. His Bayern Munich venture appeared mildly successful, but they can't (or won't) pay the hefty asking price Barça are commanding, so his loan move will not be made...

One Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has predicted a stellar career for Dean Henderson, backing him to become England's number one. 23-year-old Henderson has been out on loan at Sheffield United since the start of the 2018/19 season and has enjoyed a superb campaign following the Blades' return to the top flight. Only Burnley's Nick Pope (11) has kept more clean sheets than the Red Devils loanee (10) this term. Henderson is yet to make a senior appearance for United Henderson's...

Julian Nagelsmann has spoken on Timo Werner's imminent transfer from RB Leipzig to Chelsea, admitting he doesn't expect him to be at the club next season. It had looked for all the world as if Liverpool were going to be the club to snap the forward up in time for the 2020/21 season, with contact between Werner and Jurgen Klopp - as well as some public flitting - making a deal seem inevitable.

So, the basic idea of not allowing fans into stadiums is that fans aren't allowed into stadiums. We all get that. La Liga managed just three days of action before someone managed to find a way around the tight protocol (and security) as a pitch invader briefly stole the show in Barcelona's 4-0 win over Real Mallorca on Saturday night.

La Liga got back underway again on Thursday, with Sevilla running out 2-0 winners in their derby clash with Real Betis. It was a vital win for Sevilla as the three points saw them move four points clear of fourth-placed Real Sociedad and within just six points of Real Madrid - having played one game more than both clubs. It was an impressive team display on their first game back, but there was one man who grabbed the headlines for his scintillating display. Lucas Ocampos. Lucas Ocampos...
