Aston Villa manager Dean Smith's position as manager has been called into question, after defeat against Wolves made it eight Premier League games without a win. Relegation-threatened Villa have been the busiest of any Premier League side since football resumed after an enforced three-month break, playing four fixtures in 11 days. Smith is under enormous pressure at Villa right now They are yet to taste victory, though, with Smith's side picking up just two points from a possible 12. Villa...

aven ​Like Arrigo Sacchi and the offside trap, Jurgen Klopp and gegenpressing and Pep Guardiola overthinking Champions League knockout ties, Antonio Conte's fetish for wing-backs is a love story that dates back to the start of the fiery Italian's coaching tenure at Juventus in 2011. And along the way, Conte's never been blessed with the most naturally gifted of flankers; from workhorses Stephan Liechtsteiner and Kwadwo Asamoah at the Bianconeri to misfits Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses at...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised the quality and depth in his Manchester United squad on Saturday evening, after the Red Devils progressed to the FA Cup semi-final with a nervy 2-1 win over Norwich City. The Norwegian coach made eight changes to his starting lineup from the side which cruised past Sheffield United in midweek, but they required extra-time to sneak beyond the Canaries, snatching the victory in the 118th minute thanks to a strike from captain Harry Maguire. Manchester United v...

There's a reason that football is widely monikered 'the beautiful game', and it's due to mavericks like Francesco Totti. To many, Totti is remembered as a one-club man, a legend of the sport who gave his entire career to his beloved hometown side, AS Roma. For others (mainly found in the darkest corners of social media), he is an overrated, overhyped wannabe who either wasn't good enough to land a move to a bigger team, or didn't have the bottle to venture outside of the Italian capital to...

opes Barcelona lost ground in the La Liga title race as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo on Saturday afternoon. The visitors started brightly and after Gerard Pique was denied by the crossbar in the opening stages, Luis Suarez soon gave Quique Setien's side the lead after Lionel Messi outfoxed Celta's attempt to stop the Argentine from scoring directly from a free-kick to find Suarez lurking at the back post. A moment of genius and innovation from Lionel Messi helped Luis Suarez score...

After a gruelling season which began last summer and stretched into the next, the Bundesliga came to a dramatic close on Saturday. Borussia Dortmund did not have really anything to play for, while visitors Hoffenheim were gunning for Europa League qualification at the Signal Iduna Park. The hosts looked favourites to take all three points, but the ever-unpredictable BuLi had one last surprise in store. Andrej Kramarić scored the first goal inside the opening 10 minutes, with a ruthless strike....

They cannot blow it from here. They just can't. Leeds United, their own worst enemies for the past 20 years, are on the brink of redemption. The fairytale which has threatened to reach its happy ending for years on end, only to be heartbreakingly ripped away at the final hurdle, looks set to earn its 'happily ever after'. Before kick-off on Saturday afternoon, Leeds supporters were bracing themselves for that familiar sinking feeling which has greeted them at the finale of most seasons. The...

Former Borussia Dortmund captain Sebastian Kehl believes that star attraction Jadon Sancho will be at the club next season, despite persistent rumours surrounding his future. The England international has been in sparkling form in the Bundesliga this term, with 34 goal contributions in the league as Dortmund lost out on the title to a dominant Bayern Munich side. The 20-year-old arrived at Signal Iduna Park from Manchester City in 2017 and has emerged as arguably Europe's most exciting young...

While Liverpool have strode to the Premier League title with a comfortable 23-point buffer over second place Manchester City, at the other end of the table things couldn't be more different. Norwich are cut adrift at the basement of the division, but just a single point separates 19th place Aston Villa and 16th place Watford. With Brighton pulling away from the drop zone since the league restarted, it looks set to be two from the Hornets, Villa, Bournemouth and Watford to fall into the...

Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele is keen to leave the club, and Barcelona could look to pursue some form of player-plus-cash deal, with the Catalan giants willing to include either Philippe Coutinho or Nelson Semedo as part of the move. Ndombele made the switch to north London last summer, with Tottenham forking out over £50m for his services. But while he has shown flashes of brilliance, he hasn't really been given an extended run in the team. Jose Mourinho has criticised Ndombele in the...

In the most unsurprising event of 2020, Liverpool claimed the Premier League title after Manchester City's 2-1 defeat at the hands of Chelsea on Thursday evening. While it may hurt many rival fans to say it, the Reds have thoroughly deserved their first league title since 1990 in what has been a real one-horse race this season. View this post on Instagram 30 years since their last top flight title, @liverpoolfc are officially Premier League Champions. - - Thanks to Liverpool fan @superantonyc...

nal Manchester United became the first club to earn an FA Cup semi-final spot on Saturday, as they beat Norwich City 2-1 after extra time at Carrow Road. The first half was one of few chances, with neither side recording a single shot on target. Harry Maguire made a solid block to deny Lukas Rupp at one end, while Odion Ighalo could not get a shot on goal against a stubborn Norwich defence. Finally, Manchester United found the breakthrough six minutes into the second half. A defensive mix up...

Atalanta defender Timothy Castagne has revealed he would find it difficult to turn down a move to Tottenham as he hints at a departure from the Italian club. The Belgian international has been part of the side that has impressed both domestically and in the Champions League this season, with the club already through to the quarter-final stage after mauling Valencia in the round of 16. The 24-year-old arrived in Italy in 2017, after previously having played four seasons in his native Belgium...

It's been a funny old season for the red half of Manchester. Manchester United have suffered some humbling lows this season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been on the brink of the sack more often than any other Premier League coach, and star player Paul Pogba has split fans and pundits alike following another year of rumblings of discontent behind the scenes. FBL-ENG-FA CUP-NORWICH-MAN UTD And yet, as we head into the final stretch of this elongated campaign, there is an optimism surrounding the...

Aston Villa came into Saturday's clash with Wolves needing a win. And that was made perfectly evident by Dean Smith's team selection. He opted to select two strikers in Mbwana Samatta and Keinan Davis, while Jack Grealish was also moved back into his preferred position - occupying the attacking midfield role. The plan was clear. Villa needed goals, and they needed their most influential player to be operating in the most menacing positions in order to get them. Just a pair of VILLANS ?#AVLWOL...

This summer may well mark the end of Willian's career at Chelsea. While he's signed a short-term deal to complete the remainder of the season in blue, doubts remain over whether he'll extend further - and he could walk away for free in pursuit of a new challenge. However it turns out, he's enjoyed a beautiful career at Stamford Bridge to date. While perhaps misunderstood, he remains one of the club’s longest-serving active players, and has enjoyed a wealth of wonderful moments with 60 goals...

Inter's pursuit of Achraf Hakimi may thwart Barcelona's attempt to sign Lautaro Martinez this summer, with a potential swap deal involving Nelson Semedo now seemingly off the table. A whole host of top European clubs were interested in signing Hakimi - whose impressive two-year loan spell at Borussia Dortmund is drawing to a close - this summer, and it appears the Nerazzurri are have won the race for a talent who's set to thrive as a wing-back in Antonio Conte's 3-5-2. Achraf Hakimi is set to...

Liverpool chiefs are looking to sit down with star wingers Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané following the club's Premier League title triumph. Both Salah and Mané have been instrumental in the rise of the Reds in recent seasons, with the Egyptian contributing 17 league goals and seven league assists this season, while the Senegalese international has an impressive 15 goals and seven assists. The dynamic wide duo have unsurprisingly being linked with departures away from Anfield in the last few...
