Pep Guardiola responds after Jurgen Klopp takes sly dig at Man City

Despite the upcoming summer window being clouded with uncertainty due to the ongoing global pandemic, football fans look set to watch at least one huge transfer saga unfold. All eyes are on Jadon Sancho, as the Borussia Dortmund winger is continually linked with a big money move to Manchester United. While Chelsea were previously linked with Sancho, the signing of Hakim Ziyech seems to have cooled their interest in the 20-year-old. The same can't be said for United, however, who still look...

Moses Simon dreams of Chelsea move as he makes Premier League ambitions clear

Win Manchester City secured a 3-0 win over Arsenal at an empty Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, as a David Luiz horror show helped make the Citizens' Premier League return a pleasant one. While it was Arsenal who ever so slightly edged the possession stats, City had the better chances. First Raheem Sterling was denied, then some slick passing found space for David Silva, only for a fine save from Bernd Leno keeping the scores level. But the German has no control of his defenders. Namely, David...

En-Nesyri shines as Sevilla extend winning run against Eibar

It's fair to say we weren't overly impressed with the first game back after 100 days, with a fairly drab 0-0 draw between Aston Villa and Sheffield United hardly getting the pulses racing. Which is why it was a good thing that the fixture list coughed up a tastier affair with Manchester City hosting Arsenal. Two of the biggest clubs in the country going head to head. Were we set for a level game with two sides dealing blow after blow at each other? Or was it going to be immensely one-side with...

Transfer Talk: Liverpool's Lallana could be headed back to Saints

ines The Premier League got back underway once again on Wednesday after three months, as Aston Villa played out a controversial 0-0 draw with Sheffield United at Villa Park. At kick-off, all players took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. And when play got underway, it was the away side who looked to take control of proceedings early on, dominating possession. But this didn't last long as Villa created the first notable opportunity, with Conor Hourihane forcing Dean Henderson...

Pulisic's first season at Chelsea has been similar to Hazard's – Lampard

An empty Stadio Olimpico (unless you count the horrific computer-generated fans) played host to a dull Coppa Italia final on Wednesday night, as Napoli beat Juventus on penalties to lift the trophy for the first time since 2014. The lack of atmosphere, alongside the fact that these players are still lacking in match fitness, made for a lacklustre game, with neither side having any significant chances on goal. It became clear very early on that a goal wouldn't be scored from open play and that...

ring We're all looking forward to this, aren't we? The idea of playing out the remainder of the 2019/20 Champions League in a knockout format - or indeed resuming it at all - has got the football world purring. As it should do.

How Spain could line up at the Tokyo Olympics

For those who don't quite get the lure of Italian football, so much of the magic is wrapped up in the tradition and romance of the game. Every Sunday, entire cities come to a standstill to watch the match - to watch their club. Unlike in England and other parts of the world, the focus of their adoration falls on the club itself: the flag, the colours, the icons of the past, but very rarely do the individual stars taking to the pitch feel their love. AS Roma v Carpi FC - Serie A Indeed, it...

Hannah Hampton reflects on 'dream' England debut against Spain

The word most commonly associated with the deep-lying playmaker (or regista, if you're fancy) is 'class', and it's quite easy to see why. Deep-lying playmakers are often the background operators, akin to the conductor of an orchestra. They can dictate how the movements of their team, and can change the course of a game with just one pass or movement. As a result, these players have to possess a certain degree of intelligence - and with that comes the humbleness and graceful style-of-play which...

England U-17 forward Musiala becomes Bayern's youngest ever Bundesliga player

Nearly every great European side (bar Liverpool) has been build on a great midfield. Usually these midfields comprise of the gung-ho all-action box-to-box man, the defensive brute in holding midfield, the creative force in attacking midfield and, finally, the deep-lying playmaker. While all of these specialist positions are crucial, there are none more poetic and suave than the deep-lying playmaker, the man who plays cigar in hand, dictating play with consummate ease. While European football...
