It's an exciting time to be a Blue. Frank Lampard, club legend is at the wheel, a dynamic and bold crop of academy products are blessing Stamford Bridge on a weekly basis, and the west Londoners are being linked with Europe's elite talents.

uble Robert Lewandowski took his goal tally to 51 for the 2019/20 season with a second-half brace as Bayern Munich secured yet another domestic double. Die Roten made a perfect start when David Alaba curled in a free-kick past Lukas Hradecky to give them the lead.

As Barcelona prepare to face Villarreal on Sunday evening, all eyes will be on Quique Setién as he looks to quieten the rumours surrounding his future at Camp Nou. The former Real Betis manager took charge earlier this year after the departure of Ernesto Valverde, yet is already facing the chop due to the club's fairly disastrous return to football following the COVID lockdown. Sure, seven games unbeaten may sound good on the surface, but the three draws during that run simply isn't good...

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce is confident that winger Allan Saint-Maximin will still be at the club next season. The Frenchman joined the Magpies from Ligue 1 side Nice for just £16.5m last summer and has quickly settled into his role as the main man at St. James' Park.

Bournemouth just couldn't stop Allan Saint-Maximin today! He picked up 3...

When Arsenal supporters look back on the 2019/20 season in years to come, there will be plenty more grimaces than smiles. Following a mid-season managerial change, a sea of injuries, several iconic, calamitous individual displays and general inadequacy throughout the team, the Gunners are almost certain to miss out on Champions League football for another year. FBL-EUR-C3-ARSENAL-FRANKFURT Rumours regarding the future of club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have continued to swirl - with the...

Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri has identified AS Roma striker Edin Dzeko as a top priority for the summer transfer window, as the Italian coach looks to line up a replacement for the potentially outgoing Gonzalo Higuain. I Giallorossi are prepared to offload the Bosnian hitman this summer, as the club has been severely hit by the coronavirus crisis, and are in dire need of the cash.

As of Boxing Day 2019, Nemanja Matić had featured just three times for Manchester United in the league. Once a colossus of a holding midfielder with two Premier League winner’s medals to his name, the Serbia international’s time at the top appeared to be coming to an unceremonious end. Fast forward six months, and the 31-year-old is enjoying an emphatic renaissance in his United career, providing the defensive protection to allow headline-grabbers Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba to strut their...

Leicester fans had been crying out for a change of approach recently and Brendan Rodgers obliged against Crystal Palace, lining up the Foxes in a ludicrously fluid 3-4-1-2 formation. It's a system that the Northern Irishman has experimented with this season to varying degrees of success. A similar tactical plan garnered a victory against Newcastle over Christmas but also led to defeats to Manchester City and more disappointingly, a two legged elimination from the Carabao Cup at the hands of...

Footballing history is littered with players who have had their potential hamstrung by injury. Ronaldo, Michael Owen, Jack Wilshere...Abou Diaby? The list goes on and on. Though at 26, he is not quite ready to be lumped in with this group of 'what-ifs', Samuel Umtiti's Barcelona career continues to be blighted by fitness problems. Umtiti's Barcelona career started promisingly These injuries have clearly affected the Frenchman with the defender posting an emotional message on his Instagram. "I...

gles Leicester secured their first win in five games on Saturday, as they beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at King Power Stadium. James Justin was unlucky not to find the back of the net, his first of two long range efforts cannoning off the bar. The hosts controlled the proceeding in the first half but failed to really trouble Palace's backline, as Gary Cahill and co. defended well. Leicester finally broke the deadlock after the break, as Kelechi Iheanacho pounced on some poor defending. Youri...
