In late October, things for Ralph Hasenhuttl's Southampton were at an all-time low. They'd just lost 9-0 to Leicester, equalling a 24-year record for a Premier League defeat. They sat in the relegation zone with the joint-worst goal difference in the division, having played a game more than any of the teams around them. Summer signing Che Adams, after a fairly bright start, had lost his place in a team who had taken one point from their last 15 available. no way do southampton go from getting...

tory Barcelona kept their La Liga title hopes alive with an impressive 4-1 victory over Champions League chasing Villarreal on Sunday night. A spellbinding first half of football returned four goals.

Luis Suarez scored a sublime second for the visitors They weren't on level terms for long, mind, as Lionel Messi...

News With the title ever closer to being wrapped up, Juventus look to continue their run of Serie A dominance as they head to Milan on Tuesday night. The Bianconeri are brimming with confidence following their destruction of rivals Torino in Saturday's Derby della Mole, extending their lead to seven points atop Serie A. Milan, meanwhile, handed Maurizio Sarri's side a massive title boost, comfortably defeating second-placed Lazio by three goals to nil on Saturday night. The Rossoneri are...

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has rebuffed the advances of the reigning Portuguese top flight champions Benfica, which has only increased talk of him taking up the reins at St James' Park. Pochettino was sacked by Tottenham in November after more than five years at the helm, and only six months after guiding the club to the Champions League final. Pochettino and his staff reflect on Tottenham's 2-0 defeat to Premier League rivals Liverpool in the 2019 Champions League...

The 2019/20 campaign has been a tale of two halves for Manchester United. They were down in 14th and getting thumped by Watford in 2019, but a major upturn in form in 2020 has left forward Marcus Rashford feeling excited about the future. Bruno Fernandes' arrival in January appears to have been the catalyst for an incredible run of form for United, who are unbeaten in their last nine games and have been one of the Premier League's most exciting sides across that period. Today's front three...

Valencia are interested in Everton's Colombian defender Yerry Mina, two years after the 25-year-old moved to Merseyside. The centre-back was signed by the Toffees from Barcelona for £27.2m having impressed at that summer's World Cup. Mina endured an injury-riddled debut campaign, but was one of the side's most consistent starters in the first half of his second season under Marco Silva. Yerry Mina warms up before Everton's clash with Leicester City Carlo Ancelotti replaced Silva as manager in...

Well, obviously, they need to stay up first. Above all other issues on the docket, that's kind of the most important. But having accrued four points from their last two matches, that looks like a distinctly more likely scenario now. Not nailed on by any means, but at least more plausible than, y'know, before they got these four points.

Qatari side Al-Sadd have confirmed that manager Xavi has signed a contract extension covering the 2020/21 season, amid widespread reports that he is to succeed Quique Setien at Barcelona. Xavi spent his entire playing career with Barça prior to joining Al-Sadd in 2015, where he has since taken over as the club's manager. He has impressed in his debut spell as a coach, winning the Qatari Cup earlier this year, and a report this weekend claimed that his former club have agreed terms over his...

If your response to Liverpool's alleged move for Thiago is to believe it when you see it, then you're probably approaching things the right way. There's a lot about it that smells fishy. For one, the deal would require a pretty drastic break from strategy for the Reds recruitment team. Of all 20 first team signings made since Jurgen Klopp's arrival in October 2015, only four have been over the age of 27 - three of those were backup goalkeepers and the other was short-term defensive cover...

cial What's the point of playing nice football? If the main objective of football is winning, and imposing an attractive philosophy takes time and resources that hold up that objective in the short term, why do certain teams place such a value on what appears a counterintuitive strategy? It's a question that continues to surface in the various narratives threads of the current Premier League season, in the compulsion to judge Jose Mourinho by Mauricio Pohcettino's standards and vice versa, in...

West Ham United are looking to dip into the Championship market once again as they eye Wigan Athletic defender Cédric Kipré. The Hammers signed forward Jarrod Bowen from Hull City in January, while Ryan Fredricks arrived from Fulham in 2018 and the Hammers could look to exploit opportunities in the second tier again the same with Kipré. The Frenchman has been in impressive form for the Latics since joining the club from Motherwell back in 2018, while he has also been on the books at Premier...

shed Inter's faint Scudetto hopes were dashed on Sunday afternoon as they fell to a shock 2-1 defeat to Bologna at San Siro. Bologna's resistance was brief as a dominant Inter took the lead just after the 20-minute mark through a Romelu Lukaku finish. The Belgian tapped home after Lautaro Martinez's glancing header rebounded off the post. Romelu Lukaku was in the right place at the right time to score his 26th goal of the campaign The Nerazzurri pressed for a second and twice went close through...

ions Liverpool delivered laboured to a 2-0 win against relegation-threatened Aston Villa, winning their 17th consecutive home game of the Premier League season. Aston Villa proved to be obstinate opponents for the best part of 70 minutes until Sadio Mané neatly turned in the opener for the newly-crowned Premier League champions. As Villa began to chase the game, Liverpool - reinforced by a trio of experienced substitutes - exploited the space opening up. With one minute left to play, Mohamed...

Everton winger Bernard has confessed that he has been seeing a psychologist after suffering a panic attack last year. The Brazilian moved to Goodison Park back in 2018 and has gone on to make 61 appearances in all competitions, chipping in with five goals and six assists. “I've never publicly spoken to anyone about this, but I had a panic attack last year. I sought help as I genuinely needed it and have become a better, more positive person."@b_10duarte opens up about his mental health and...

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has tipped either Manchester City or Bayern Munich to claim the Champions League trophy this season, with the Reds already out of the competition. Klopp's men will be on holiday as the Champions League's last eight is concluded in Lisbon this August. The Premier League champions were unable to achieve back-to-back European triumphs, having been knocked out of the competition by Atlético Madrid in the last 16, prior to the lockdown back in March. Diego Simeone's...

As Mikel Arteta paced the perimeter of his technical area at Molineux, arms a blur while dishing out multilingual instructions, Arsenal - uncharacteristically - defended their lead. A 2-0 victory at the home of Champions League-chasing Wolves was the club's fourth consecutive win in ten days - and the first time Arsenal have recorded a quartet of triumphs since October 2018. After six testing months at the helm, punctuated by an unprecedented global pandemic, this is the height of Arteta's...

Liverpool's 2019/20 Premier League kit has become the most popular in the club's history with sales reaching 1.7 million. However, the iconic shirt could soon be like gold dust, with stock set to run out and no more on the way. The Reds ended the thirty-year wait for an English league title this month as Man City's defeat to Chelsea meant that Liverpool's lead became mathematically insurmountable. Liverpool fan wearing a mash-up of two popular kits The 2019/20 kit then, while already popular...

lans Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has responded to Gary Neville's claims that Manchester United need to 'go for it' in the transfer market this summer - claiming the club only need to make one or two 'very good decisions' in the weeks ahead. United have returned from the break in fine fettle, and made it ten points from 12 available with a rampant 5-2 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday. Their explosive form has put them within two points of fourth-placed Chelsea, and crucially three ahead of Wolves...

lory Real Madrid extended their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points on Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 win over Athletic Club in Bilbao. An entertaining opening period saw the hosts impress. They were able to disrupt the visitors' build-up high up the pitch, and also ensured Real struggled to penetrate when they fell into their settled shape. Iñaki Williams, meanwhile, provided a serious threat in transition but was unable to make the most of several swift breaks. There was nothing to...

It's often joked that Chelsea don't have any pre-Roman Abramovich history. That's obviously not true, but there's no denying that there were some tough times at Stamford Bridge before the Russian's arrival in 2003. The 1970s saw Chelsea plummet down the football league and financial struggles even saw the Blues face being forced to disband. The 80s and early 90s were all about just sorting things out, but Chelsea began thriving after Ruud Gullit took over as player-manager in 1996. Gullit...
