News The Premier League fixture fun rolls on this Thursday - yes, Thursday - when Burnley take on Watford at Turf Moor. Both sides are yet to really get back into the swing of things after three months on the sidelines, each having taken to the field just once. Watford rescued a point late-on against Leicester. Burnley's return was a rather miserable one, as Manchester City inflicted more Etihad Stadium misery on Sean Dyche's side with a thumping 5-0 win. Watford, meanwhile, did their best to...

Arsenal could look to make a move for Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, with boss Mikel Arteta viewing him as a 'reliable' option to replace the injured Bernd Leno. Leno sustained a horrific injury during the Gunners' dramatic 2-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday, after the goalkeeper collided with Seagulls forward Neal Maupay. However, Arsenal provided a very positive injury update on the player, confirming that they can expect to see him back in training in four to six weeks. It's...

Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann has entered the race to become the new coach of Dundee United, and he is being strongly considered for the role by the Scottish club. The Terrors announced the departure of previous boss Robbie Neilson on Sunday evening, who, having successfully led his former side to promotion back to the Scottish Premier League this season, opted to then join newly-relegated Hearts in what was a surprise move. Lehmann is keen to get into the managerial game And with Dundee United...

"I am sick and tired of people talking about Europe, it’s about what’s happening in the present." So, going off the above, it might be best not to ask Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder about Champions League qualification. After all, nobody took that line of questioning to him before the season had started. If anything, the questions would have centred around whether Wilder believed the Blades could stay in the Premier League, given they went back down to the second tier on the previous...

Jurgen Klopp has recalled his first defeat as Liverpool manager, revealing he felt lonely as fans at Anfield left early during a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in 2015. The backing from the club's supporters has grown year on year since the former Borussia Dortmund boss replaced Brendan Rodgers, though the memory of one game against Liverpool's opponents on Wednesday night still lingers with Klopp. The Premier League leaders will play their first competitive home fixture in more than three...

Since Lionel Messi's first senior goal, he's won 10 La Liga titles, six Copa del Reys, four Champions Leagues and six Ballons d'Or. He's played at four World Cups and scored 70 goals for his country. He's grown from a prospect on the fringes of the Barcelona first-team squad into one of the best players the world has ever seen. So, how do your last 15 years stack up to that? It's been a whirlwind decade and a half for the man many say is the greatest ever, and here is a handful of the goals...

Everyone, stop what you're doing and look at Serie A! Okay, so perhaps a large chunk of the United Kingdom will have their eyes fixed on Liverpool's date with destiny against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening, and the whole of Spain will be watching with interest as Real Madrid attempt to regain top spot in La Liga. Alejandro Gomez celebrates in Atalanta's victory over Sassuolo But over in Italy, something magical is unfolding and on Wednesday night, we should all be bracing ourselves for...

Frank Lampard has denied that Chelsea have submitted a bid for Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz. Chelsea have already secured deals for Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner and there have been reports linking Havertz with a move to west London. The 21-year-old is one of the most in demand players in Europe with Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Real Madrid just some of the other names that have been mentioned as potential destinations. Kai Havertz nodding home recently for Bayer...

As the cameras flash and the array of national flags tied around players' waists billow in the Lisbon air, there is a beaming, round face at the front of celebrations. Yet, instead of grass-stained shorts and socks, Casemiro is cheering on the team in a nifty pair of black suit trousers. The then 22-year-old hadn't made the squad for the 2014 Champions League final and was afforded just a smattering of appearances across the campaign, with the experienced names of Xabi Alonso and Sami Khedira...

Roll up, roll up, get your flops here! Two for one specials on the Premier League's most expensive disasters! I wonder if West Ham United supporters are getting much sleep at the moment. If they are, you could probably here hushed mumblings of 'null and void, null and void' from their bedrooms, as they dream of happier days - days when they didn't have to watch the Hammers murder the beautiful game. Since football's return, it's been nothing short of a disaster for David Moyes' side. Clashes...

It's easy to forget sometimes, but like us mere mortals, all professional footballers had idols in the past, who they worshipped and whose actions they reenacted on muddy fields as starry-eyed children. For the current generation of stars, the usual suspects of David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Zinedine Zidane are often cited as inspirations... But perhaps not for hipsters like Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder is a wonderfully-gifted playmaker and given his style of play and...

Two questions started popping up a lot on social media timelines and groupchats on Tuesday afternoon. What the hell are Barcelona doing? And...why? In case you missed it, they're selling Arthur – one of their brighter talents – to Juventus for about €80m. Arthur Melo, a good footballer. A good footballer who Barcelona are trying to force out of the door because they're skint. Sorry, that should read: they're 'selling' Arthur to Juventus for 'about €80m'. Because in reality they're swapping him...

ther Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be expected to name Paul Pogba in his starting lineup on Wednesday night when Sheffield United visit Old Trafford, following on from the Frenchman’s impressive comeback cameo last Friday. Pogba came off the bench against Tottenham for his first appearance in six months and changed the game for United, winning the penalty that ultimately handed his side a crucial point. Pogba made the difference off the bench vs Spurs Now, after a season...

Leicester City's performance against Brighton on Tuesday night was boring, tedious, dull, monotonous, unimaginative, uneventful, spiritless, sterile, unstimulating, stodgy...and probably some other bad words too. They might have won a point - thanks to the penalty saving heroics of Kasper Schmeichel - but the feeble display from Brendan Rodgers' side continued a worrying pre-lockdown trend. Failure to beat the Seagulls means that Leicester have now won just three out of 11 Premier League games...

lved Juventus and Barcelona are edging towards a part-exchange deal for Miralem Pjanic and Arthur that is tipped to be completed on 30 June, which would have been the official end of the 2019/20 season. Arthur was previously thought to have been reluctant to leave Barça for Juve, which was putting the deal on hold. This week, however, the Brazilian has softened his stance which has allowed it to progress to the point of what will soon be a done deal. Arthur was initially reluctant to leave...

dged Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has admitted he regrets flirting with the idea of moving to Chelsea as a player earlier in his career. Gerrard was unsure of his long-term future back between 2004 and 2005 as Chelsea upped their interest in the former England international, submitting a £37.5m bid in an attempt to add him to their already star-studded squad. Speaking on Gary Neville's Soccerbox, Gerrard opened up on the saga and admitted he was unclear of what the future would hold. Gerrard...

Bayern Munich star Thiago Alcantara has stalled on signing a contract extension with the German champions, as he weighs up his options ahead of the summer - with Liverpool, supposedly, on his mind. The Spain international midfielder joined Bayern under Pep Guardiola for a fee of €25m in 2013, and has gone on to become one of the league's best players - winning seven Bundesliga titles. However, with his contract set to expire next summer, the Bavarian giants had been keen to tie their talisman...

Manchester United have dressed up Old Trafford with stunning banners and a mosaic ahead of Wednesday's clash with Sheffield United, while executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has also sent a message to Red Devils fans. United were held to a 1-1 draw by Tottenham in their first game back after the restart on Friday, but will be looking to pick up all three points against Sheffield United - who currently sit just two points behind them coming into the midweek game. The stage is set for tomorrow's...

llos Arsenal have confirmed that three first-team stars have agreed new contracts to remain at the club beyond the end of season, while Dani Ceballos' loan has been extended until the end of the campaign.

As quoted on the club's official website, technical director Edu said: “I am really happy that we will have these players in our...
