Tag This new era of artificial crowds and fist bump celebrations may all seem a little strange, but one thing that hasn't changed since before the league suspension is the electric form of Raúl Jiménez. The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward has been terrific since his arrival in English football back in 2018 and has become 'Mr Reliable' for Nuno Espirito Santo. Not only a fine player and goalscorer, the Mexican has been an ever-present this term, having already appeared in 46 games in all...

tory Arsenal claimed a much needed victory over Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on Thursday evening, as Alex McCarthy's error helped the visitors on their way to a 2-0 win. The Saints stopper was sloppy in possession midway through the first half, carelessly playing the ball against the on-rushing Eddie Nketiah, who tapped into an empty net.

A cursory glance at the bench that Sean Dyche selected for Burnley's meeting with Watford on Thursday afternoon provides an indication of the problems that exist at the club. Two of the Clarets' nine substitutes were goalkeepers and four were youngsters yet to make a single Premier League appearance. The second string was completed by Erik Pieters, Phil Bardsley and Kevin Long - a veritable who's who of boring top flight defenders. Incredibly, this was an improvement from Burnley's previous...

The Dutchman signed for Los Blancos in 2007, lifting the La Liga title during his first season at the club. However, the following campaign proved more of a struggle with Sneijder departing the Spanish capital in 2009.

News Barcelona face Celta Vigo on Saturday afternoon in the next instalment of an increasingly tight La Liga title race. The Catalan giants are level on points with the old enemy Real Madrid but trail Los Blancos thanks to an inferior head-to-head record.

The Reds could clinch the title on Thursday if Manchester City fail to beat Chelsea, sealing their most-wanted crown without having to kick a ball again. How nice. What do you remember of...

News The Bundesliga draws to a close this weekend and there is a certain air of purposelessness about it all. Bayern Munich are champions, Borussia Dortmund are second, and it's a scrap between the rest for the remaining European places. But let's not underestimate the achievements of Hansi Flick, who turned Bayern's season around after a very shaky start. Die FCB lead by ten points going into the final slate of fixtures and the weekend will be about finishing on a high for a side that has...

‘The table doesn’t lie.' It’s true. We can moan, groan and recall the ‘what ifs’ of the season, but ultimately each team’s destiny will be decided by their own performances. Daniel Farke's side suffered another defeat to Everton on Wednesday Norwich City fans have had plenty to moan about this campaign. With a league-low of 25 goals in 31 games, the Canaries appear condemned to life back in the Championship. However, while the table may reflect their points garnered so far, Daniel Farke would...

Sergio Ramos scores a ridiculous amount of goals. The Real Madrid man has racked up the kind of numbers most players can only dream of, and he's a centre-back. Now La Liga's highest-scoring defender of all time, Ramos has shown a penchant for towering headers and gorgeous free kicks. When you add crunching tackles and an obscene amount of red cards to the mix, you see why Ramos is such an iconic figure in football. Goals come concerningly easily to Ramos (he has 120 for club and country at...

The last three months have been a weird kind of purgatory for Liverpool fans. The pandemic-enforced hiatus - a phrase never before used in professional European football prior to this year - was bookended by shock defeats to Watford and Atletico Madrid and an awkward, disjointed draw to Everton. Off the field, brought on by the special kind of chaos of COVID-19, there was the furloughing fiasco, the null and void/asterisk chat and then Timo Werner joined Chelsea. The latter more than anything...
