Ole Gunnar Solskjaer dismisses idea of replicating Pep Guardiola's tactics

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that midfielder Adam Lallana, a player he called ‘one of the most important’ of his time in charge at Anfield, will probably not play for the Reds again in order to protect a summer transfer to his next club. Leicester are favourites to sign him. Lallana was due to be out of contract at the end of June. But even though he signed a temporary extension to cover the remainder of the campaign, the former Southampton star will not play in the remaining...

Mikel Arteta Hints at Permanent Deal for Dani Ceballos After Impressive Leicester Performance

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted at the possible permanent signing of on-loan midfielder Dani Ceballos, suggesting negotiations with Real Madrid could already be ongoing. Ceballos had a difficult start to his season-long loan from Los Blancos, suffering a muscle injury that ruled him out in November and didn’t see him start another game until February. But more recently under Arteta, the Spaniard has begun to thrive. Ceballos has become a regular Arsenal starter He was impressive again...

January brings big test of Leicester's Champions League credentials - but they have what it takes

Remember the heady days of 2005? Jose Mourinho was new and shiny, Arsenal scored 87 league goals in a season, Bolton finished level on points (58) with Liverpool and Manchester City missed out on Europe on the last day. David James remembers it well – especially that last part, playing a central and completely unexpected role in it when he was moved out from between the sticks (Nicky Weaver took over) and stuck up front. The FA Cup winning goalkeeper remembers every moment well, blowing out...

Transfer Talk: Beckham's Miami plan move to sign PSG's Messi

Siro A dramatic second half collapse from Juventus allowed Milan to come back from two goals down to seal a stunning 4-2 win at San Siro. There was little to note during the first-half, with Zlatan Ibrahimović's disallowed goal for offside the only bit of action worth jotting down on the notepad. Adrien Rabiot is mobbed after scoring his first Juventus goal. Moments after the restart, Juventus hit the front through Adrien Rabiot's first goal for the club before Cristiano Ronaldo steered home...

Valiant Defensive Display Should Please Mikel Arteta Despite Late Arsenal Slip-Up

It wasn't long ago when you'd have been hard pressed to pick out a genuine leader and undroppable defender at Arsenal. But now, the very same players who have received so much criticism are thriving in Mikel Arteta's new 3-4-3 formation - a system that provides greater protection, shielding and solidity. The formation has worked well in well recent times, with the north Londoners producing some of their finest performances - and indeed results - of the season so far. But another hugely tough...

Sergio Romero has 'said his goodbyes' at Man Utd ahead of transfer exit

iser A late Jamie Vardy equaliser earned Leicester a valuable 1-1 draw at Arsenal, as the hosts were left ruing Eddie Nketiah's second half red card. It was the Foxes who started brightly at the Emirates Stadium, but as so often happens the opening goal went against the run of play. Teenager Bukayo Saka burst forward down the right after collecting Dani Ceballos' perfectly weighted through ball, before squaring for captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, to slide home from close range. A frustrating...

'That's not the standard we expect' - Klopp acknowledges poor Liverpool run but insists 'not everything is bad'

Bayern Munich are prepared to let David Alaba make his own decision on his future with the club, as interest from the Premier League continues to grow. The Austrian signed with Bayern's youth team in 2008 and eventually became a regular in the first-team in the 2011/12 season. He's since become one of the versatile players in the world, but is entering the final year of his current contract in Munich. Alaba has been a key part of Bayern's revival under Hansi Flick Alaba has looked world class...

Curtis Jones might be the perfect partner for Thiago Alcantara at Liverpool

Tuesday's contest was a must win for both sides, with both in desperate trouble after a season of on-field turmoil. Watford came into the contest in 17th place, one point clear of the relegation zone, while basement boys Norwich were six points adrift of Bournemouth. NORWICH TAKE AN EARLY LEAD! Emi Buendia shows great skill to cut back inside and whip it past Ben Foster....

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hints at debut for Amad Diallo soon

Carlos Tevez is no stranger to transfer sagas, just ask West Ham, Sheffield United, Manchester City or Manchester United fans. He's also 36 years old and, most likely, well past his best. But that hasn't stopped the rumour mill suggesting that an epic move back to the Hammers is on the cards, despite reported interest from MLS and the possibility of signing a new Boca deal. Carlos Tevez surprisingly joined West Ham in 2006. Tevez first arrived at West Ham in 2006 alongside fellow Argentine...

'On schedule amid a pandemic' - AIFF Masters Programme kicks off with a few tweaks

Manchester United were lethal in attack last time out as they hammered Bournemouth 5-2. But it wasn't a perfect display. The best managers in the business will be quick to state that no performance is ever 'perfect', but United's defence was exposed by a team that had scored just 30 goals in the league coming into Saturday's game. Indeed, only three other teams had scored a fewer amount of goals. But it was the manner of the goals conceded that will be somewhat concerning for Red Devils boss...

Casemiro Calls Gareth Bale as a 'Top Five' Player in the World

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is to target two new strikers in the summer if the club qualifies for next season's Champions League. The Foxes are flying high in the Premier League this season - predominantly thanks to Jamie Vardy's league-high 21 goals - and despite a recent blip in form, are favourites to secure a position at Europe's top table. Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho are Leicester's two recognised strikers. But despite Kelechi Iheanacho netting in his last two games for...

How Quique Setien May Have Found the Barcelona Formula He's Been Looking for

As Barcelona made the three-hour bus journey along the Spanish west coast to the Estadio de la Cerámica on Sunday night, it was understandable why so many believed this was the night the dramatic La Liga title race would all but draw to an anti-climatic close. This was an out of sorts Barça side fresh off back-to-back 2-2 draws against Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid and one that had just seen title rivals Real Madrid squeeze past Athletic Club to open up a seven-point chasm at the top....

Crystal Palace 2-3 Chelsea: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Visitors Hold Off Spirited Eagles

gles Chelsea squeezed past an impressive Crystal Palace side at Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening, as a 3-2 victory thrust them up to third in the Premier League table. The Eagles were mightily unfortunate to find themselves a goal down in the opening stages as Willian made the most of Gary Cahill's hamstring pull to tee up Olivier Giroud who swept home. Christian Pulisic then continued his fine run of form with an emphatic left-footed drive which simply had too much venom for Vicente Guaita at...

LIVE UEFA Champions League group-stage draw: Who will be drawn against champs, Man City?

Bournemouth are staring Premier League relegation in the face after taking just a single point from their last eight games and recording four straight defeats since the campaign restarted. The Cherries have taken only eight points from a possible 48 during what has been an even longer wretched run of form since mid-December. Were it not for a very positive start to the season, Eddie Howe’s team might have already been cut adrift like Norwich and are in this dire form at the worst time, even...

Everton have confirmed they are assisting Merseyside Police after a red flare was set alight and attached to the statue of Dixie Dean that is situated outside Goodison Park.

Anniversary of Trent Alexander-Arnold's first Premier League start brings chance for redemption

There are few right wingers in world football quite like Manchester City's Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese isn't exactly lightning quick, nor does he really put up great numbers in terms of goals or assists - especially when you compare him to other City stars such as Raheem Sterling. Yet, Silva has proven to be a player Pep Guardiola has turned to time and time again during his time in Manchester - a man the former Barcelona boss can rely on. The former Monaco man's creativity, link up play,...

From Pogba to Pepe, most expensive flop transfers for every Premier League team

If you're the kind of person who tends to watch Italian football via your Twitter timeline, you may be in awe of what appears to be just another mesmeric season from one of the greatest to ever do it. However, the vintage moments - whether it be the Superman leap to nod home at Sampdoria, the thunderbastard at Genoa or the set-piece magic in the recent Derby della Mole - that gain miilons of views and thousands of retweets mean that Cristiano Ronaldo's 2019/20 campaign is easily misinterpreted...

AC Milan 1-3 Juventus: Player ratings as Federico Chiesa stars at San Siro

Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri has claimed the only person he ever fights with is striker Gonzalo Higuain. The spectacled Italian boss has managed the prolific Argentine striker at three different clubs, overseeing some of the most productive periods of his career. Sarri oversaw Higuain's most fruitful season in 2015/16 Higuain's 36 goals in Sarri's last season at Napoli is still a Serie A record, but it appears the pair have a peculiar relationship - something the former Chelsea manager...
