When Liverpool announced the signing of Fabinho in 2018, it came as a bolt out of the blue. It wasn't that the team who had just reached the Champions League final didn't need to strengthen. If they were to take the next step and consistently challenge for titles, the need for reinforcements was patently obvious. But in a summer characterised by drawn out soap-opera transfer sagas, this one was completed with no fuss and no prior warning. The Reds were put down in Kiev, and within 48 hours,...

Manchester United will give goalkeeper David de Gea the rest of the season to prove that he deserves to retain his place as the club's starting goalkeeper, with young Dean Henderson pushing to take his place. De Gea was guilty of a high-profile error on Friday as he allowed Steven Bergwijn's shot through his body in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur - a mistake that was by no means unique in recent times. ? - "David de Gea will be extremely disappointed, he's got to save that!" Bergwijn...

Chelsea returned to action on Sunday with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa and it was clear that despite the shaky start, Frank Lampard's side still retained a portion of the momentum they were gathering when the season was paused in March. While the current squad have arguably exceeded expectations this season with some eye catching performances, consistency - particularly in the offensive third - has been a problem and the arrival of big name attacking players this summer will, hopefully,...

Utd Brazilian legend Ronaldo has jokingly offered Alexis Sanchez a chance to rediscover his form... at Real Valladolid. Since leaving Arsenal for Manchester United in January 2018, Sanchez has had a notoriously difficult time as a footballer, scoring just five times in 45 appearances for the Red Devils, before being loaned out to Serie A challengers Inter. The 31-year-old has struggled with injury in Milan, however, and has scored just once in 17 games. He looks set to return to Old Trafford...

Benfica's Ruben Dias is a defender under consideration by Manchester City ahead of the summer transfer window, with Pep Guardiola making defensive reinforcements a 'priority'. Reigning champions City are all but certain to finish 2019/20 in second after failing to keep pace with runaway leaders Liverpool. While the Citizens boast a league-high 71 goals scored, they have only the fourth-best defensive record and have lost seven times so far this season. Manchester City's defence has fallen...

Dean Henderson will only be prepared to sign a new Manchester United contract if he is promised the number one spot. The 23-year-old has spent two hugely successful years on loan at Sheffield United, helping the Blades win promotion to the Premier League during the 2018/19 campaign and playing an integral part in their unexpected surge towards the European places this season. Henderson's performances have seen him billed as capable of rivalling David de Gea for a starting spot at United next...

Man City were awarded a penalty following Mee's challenge Riyad Mahrez netted from the spot, while Aguero was replaced by Gabriel Jesus...

ible Burnley Football Club have issued a statement condemning fans that organised a plane carrying a banner that read 'white lives matter Burnley' to fly overhead during the Clarets' Monday night Premier League clash with Manchester City. The aircraft appeared above the ground shortly after the game kicked off and, pointedly, just moments after both teams had taken a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Burnley quickly promised to issue lifetime bans to those responsible, while...

17:00, Saturday 20 June 2020. The scores from the 15:00 Championship kick-offs begin to the filter through; second place West Bromwich Albion manage just a point at home to city-rivals Birmingham, third place Fulham slip up at home to Brentford, while Nottingham Forest and Preston who occupy fifth and sixth place respectively can muster just a point. As if it wasn’t evident already, the results further underlined that perennial nearly-men Leeds United would finally be reinstated as a Premier...

tyle Manchester City prolonged Liverpool's title coronation until Thursday at the very earliest with a thumping 5-0 victory over Burnley at the Etihad Stadium on Monday evening. City took advantage of the Clarets' first lapse in concentration 27 minutes in as an unmarked Phil Foden lashed a low effort into the bottom corner following a well worked short corner. Riyad Mahrez put the game beyond Burnley's reach with two goals in the space of six minutes on the stroke of half time. The Algerian...

After slipping to a goalless draw at Sevilla - surrending the La Liga title race lead to Real Madrid - Barcelona have a chance to get back to winning ways against Athletic Club on Tuesday night. Sure, it's not time for the Catalan giants to panic yet, but there's an underlying feeling that anything less than perfection between now and the end of the season may not be good enough. That's a tricky ask of any team, and is made more complicated when you remembered that Barça actually lost to...

It's not often you hear the words, 'Everton deserved to win the Merseyside derby'. However, on Sunday, it was true. They really did. The Toffees managed to shackle their rivals, at least helping to slightly postpone the Liverpool title party. For those who hadn't watched the game, a first glance of the scoreline might have suggested that Everton had held on for dear life, it was, in fact, more like the opposite and Klopp's men were lucky to leave with a point. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Tom Davies...

The global pandemic resulted in the French season concluding prematurely, with Meunier picking up his third Ligue 1 title with PSG. Meunier spent four seasons with PSG However, the French champions have...

It's fair to say Luciano Spalletti's two-year tenure at Inter was a pretty successful one. Sure, stagnation and dysfunction may have led to his departure at the end of the 2018/19 campaign, but the two-time Serie A Coach of the Year nonetheless returned the Nerazzurri to the Champions League for the first time since 2012 and oversaw the move which saw Lautaro Martinez arrive in Milan. Inter qualified for the Champions League in both seasons Luciano Spalletti was in charge But the act which may...

Remember 'fan influence' app Socios? The lads who have partnered up with West Ham, Juve, Atleti and all that when we told you about it before? With fans voting on club decisions – changes in goal music, influence over fan experiences, that kinda thing? Turns out that empty stadiums have fans desperate for any interaction with their club from afar, and that fans of (arguably) the world's biggest club...are really invested in that club. The official Fan Token of @FCBarcelona is here, and for the...
