Football rivalries are great. They're feisty, passionate, they give us all a (generally) harmless outlet for tribalism. It's even better when the players really buy into the spirit of them too, getting riled up on the pitch and fuelling the fires with big words in the buildup. Anyway, Richarlison's been doing some talking... The Brazilian's pointed remarks come ahead of Everton's home clash with Merseyside rivals Liverpool on Sunday, a match that, should the Reds win, will put them within...

Jose Mourinho has confirmed Tottenham's record signing Tanguy Ndombele is "ready" to face Manchester United on Friday. The Frenchman has experienced a challenging first season since arriving from Lyon for €62m (£55.7m) last summer, managing two goals and two assists in 19 appearances, many of which have come from the bench. He has also endured a rocky relationship with Mourinho, who publicly criticised him after a particularly poor performance against Burnley back in March. Mourinho publicly...

There’s been an air of excitement around St James’ Park lately. With takeover talks said to be at an advanced stage, Newcastle fans are not only on the cusp of seeing their beloved club become the richest in Europe - perhaps even more significantly - they’re edging ever closer to seeing the back of the Wicked Witch of the South (or Mike Ashley to the rest of us). While the Geordie faithful are already salivating at the prospect of Kylian Mbappé taking one look at the plethora of kebab shops on...

More than four years on from their beautifully impossible title win, a lot has changed at Leicester City. The masterminds behind the greatest underdog story in footballing history, Claudio Ranieri, Craig Shakespeare and Steve Walsh are all long gone and most of the members of that team are also no longer at the King Power Stadium. N'Golo Kanté, Riyad Mahrez and Danny Drinkwater (remember him?) all departed in high profile circumstances, while some of the less revered title winners have...

Real Madrid made light work of Valencia on Thursday night as Karim Benzema's stunning double and Marco Asensio's first goal in his first game since coming back from a lengthy injury lay-off ensured a 3-0 win at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano. A second-half blitz saw Real take the points, with Benzema side-footing in the opener in the 61st minute after excellent work from Eden Hazard down the left. Benzema's second was a stunner That lead was doubled roughly 13 minutes later, with Asensio getting...

Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has hinted he would be interested in joining one of Europe's so-called elite teams. The Mexico international has scored 22 goals in 44 games for his side this season, impressing a number of potential suitors as he and the Wanderers push for Champions League qualification. Some top sides have been fleetingly linked with the former Atletico Madrid forward, and while Jimenez himself isn't getting too carried away by the rumours, he has now admitted it gives him...

News Saturday's early kick off sees Watford entertain Leicester at Vicarage Road, with the two sides having very different agendas for the Premier League run-in. The Foxes have enjoyed their best campaign since...well, since they won the league four years ago, with Jamie Vardy, James Maddison and a myriad of others impressing, and have a healthy advantage in the race for Champions League qualification. Watford are on their third manager of the season with relegation avoider Nigel Pearson and...

Bayern Munich have extended Philippe Coutinho's loan deal from Barcelona beyond the original termination date of 30 June so that the German title winners can call upon the Brazilian in the rescheduled Champions League tournament. Coutinho joined Bayern in the summer of 2019 for a loan fee of £7.65m, with an option to buy at a fixed priced of £110m. Bayern's latest number ten has shown flashes of brilliance but has lacked consistency, scoring eight goals and registering six assists in 22 league...

Barcelona have confirmed Frenkie de Jong and Sergi Roberto will both miss Friday's clash with Sevilla with injuries. The reigning Spanish champions have returned to La Liga action in emphatic fashion, taking maximum points, scoring six goals and keeping two clean sheets in their opening two games against relegation threatened Mallorca and Leganes.

Mari only arrived at the club in January, signed on a loan deal from Brazilian side Flamengo with an option to make the move permanent in the summer. The Spaniard was making just his second Gunners appearance against Manchester City on Wednesday night when he was forced to withdraw in the 24th minute. Pablo Mari has made just two appearances for Arsenal so far This knock appears to have...

Major tournaments are often remembered fondly for the superb teams that stamped their mark upon them; the legendary 1970 Brazil side, Johan Cruyff's fabulous Holland team of 1974, the 1986 Argentina lineup inspired by Diego Maradona. There is one international tournament that went one better. Cast your minds back to June 2008. Gordon Brown was Prime Minister, Barack Obama had just been nominated to run as the Democrats' presidential election candidate, and the Ting Tings were flying high in...

haes Everton have offered Thiago Silva a two-year deal amid interest from a string of other Premier League clubs. The Brazilian's current employers PSG recently announced that he will leave the club when his contract expires on 30 June. Since then, the race for his signature has heated up.

Despite the vast empty swathes of seats at the Etihad Stadium, there was almost an audible groan as those granted access to the cavernous arena saw the fourth official's board flicker alight with the number 17 in red. Kevin De Bruyne's spellbinding display was brought to a premature end in the 70th minute after lighting up the opening night of post-lockdown Premier League football. De Bruyne casually strode about the pitch, nonchalantly dictating the game as though he was fresh from a...

News Saturday sees West Ham take on Wolves at Molineux in what is a huge tie at both ends of the Premier League table. It's not been an easy season for West Ham, who find themselves outside of the relegation places on goal difference, having only won two of their last ten Premier League matches since the turn of the year. The Hammers do still have to face Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United, but also play a number of their relegation rivals. West Ham were in free fall before the break...

Two wins, six goals scored, zero conceded. Barcelona are back. After excellent performances against Mallorca and Leganes since La Liga restarted, La Blaugrana have maintained a five-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table, especially important as Los Blancos have a game in hand. Their next test will be a lot more difficult than their previous two games, however. After facing relegation candidates in their previous post-lockdown outings, Barça take on high flying Sevilla on 19 June,...

Chelsea's £54m-deal to sign Timo Werner from under the noses of Liverpool has brought back unpleasant memories for Reds fans. In recent years, there has been a clear and efficient strategy of: identify target, sign target, no fuss, no muss. However, it used to be a much trickier business to get deals done at Anfield. Here 's what happened next for nine transfer targets who, like Werner, seemed destined for Liverpool only to leave the t's uncrossed and i's undotted... 1. Simao Sarbrosa (2005)...

Chelsea have confirmed they have finalised the agreement to sign RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner this summer. The Blues informed Leipzig of their willingness to trigger Werner's release clause and reached an agreement over personal terms with the German fairly quickly, and it then became a question of waiting for the deal to be made official. We have some @TimoWerner news for you! ? — Chelsea FC (at ?) (@ChelseaFC) June 18, 2020 Well, the wait is finally over as Chelsea took to their official...

Tottenham return to Premier League action this Friday against Manchester United and it's a fixture with plenty of European football permutations attached to it. Both sides are still in the hunt for a European place with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Man Utd best placed in fifth, but José Mourinho's Spurs will still fancy their chances despite being seven points off fourth spot currently. The return of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min will be a massive boost for the north London side, one that could...

Internazionale are looking to tie key midfielder Marcelo Brozovic to a lucrative new deal, which will keep him at San Siro until 2023, while also eliminating his release clause, according to a report in Italy.
