Assessing England's chances at the Under-21 European Championship

With speculation linking Manchester City and Kalidou Koulibaly continuing to do the media rounds, there's a real possibility that Napoli's best defender could finally be ready to take the next step in his career.

Some even thought the title race was over in December after their 4-0 win against Leicester, and it would have been wrapped up sooner if not for the global pandemic. After that wearisome Merseyside derby, Liverpool pulled their socks back up and jumped right back into their conventional groove. An emphatic 4-0 win over Crystal Palace pushed them to the finish line, before...

The Curious Case of Alexandre Lacazette: The Striker Back in Form After a Largely Poor Season

'That's football.' After a typically Gallic shrug, that was what Karim Benzema offered as an explanation for his audacious - deep breath - no-look, backheel, nutmeg assist as Real Madrid limped to a 1-0 win at Espanyol. In an otherwise unremarkable contest, Benzema's spark of ingenuity lit up a rather lacklustre performance from the visitors. No-look backheel nutmeg assist.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is expected to stay at Old Trafford beyond this season - and is now considered to be happy at the club.

Pogba is back in action...

Forever Blowing Bubbles: West Ham fan chant lyrics

When considering the ability of a wide player, football fans will usually look towards a player's goal contribution statistics. Take Jadon Sancho for example, one of the most exciting and talented forwards in world football right now, with his 20 goals and 20 assists this season seeing him linked with a £100m+ move elsewhere. But it shouldn't always be about the statistics. Dwight McNeil has been a regular for Burnley A winger can still be instrumental to a side while not having the best...

Solskjaer to be coaching at 72? Man Utd boss airs long-term coaching ambition

30 November 2019 - Chelsea were poor, sloppy and wasteful as they fell 1-0 to Manuel Pellegrini's West Ham United. It meant back-to-back defeats for Frank Lampard and pretty much sparked the inconsistency which has plagued the Blues' season. For West Ham, it marked the end of a seven-game winless run and proved that the Hammers do actually have the talent to hang with the best, even if they like to keep that talent hidden deep down a little too often. The two sides will meet again on Wednesday...
