Ten Hag believes his side plays its…

Jamie Carragher has opened up on claims that Liverpool are considering a replacement for Jurgen Klopp at the Anfield helm amid another disappointing performance this weekend. The Reds have enjoyed one of the most successful periods in their history under the German. Reaching three Champions League finals, the side went close to winning an unprecedented quadruple last season too. He is also the man who helped end the club’s 30-year wait to be crowned champions of England and will forever be remembered as a legend on Merseyside. However, this season has not gone according to plan. Having failed to strengthen…

Liverpool had a difficult season in 2022/23, but it remains a prominent destination club. One World Cup player recently stated that Liverpool is his “dream” team. Liverpool has been labeled as a ‘dream club’ by one of the best players at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. It’s been a difficult season for the Reds, but the club is still viewed as a major destination team by many of the finest players around. One such player is Croatian center-back Joško Gvardiol. The RB Leipzig defender emerged as one of the best players in Qatar, with the small nation making it…

Despite a dismal performance in the goalless draw against Fulham on Friday, Mykhaylo Mudryk has been projected to flourish for Chelsea following his January move to the Blues. Mykhaylo Mudryk has been tipped to have a major impact in the Premier League Chelsea’s Premier League rivals have been warned that Mykhaylo Mudryk could have the same impact on the top-flight as Eden Hazard did during his time at the Blues. Hazard scored 110 goals and notched 92 assists to help Chelsea win two Premier League titles during seven years at Stamford Bridge. And Jamie Carragher believes that Mudryk can replicate that success after his January move from Shakhtar Dontesk.…

Instead, the Blues languish…

Emmanuel Frimpong believes Declan Rice would ‘flourish’ at Arsenal because he would be surrounded by superior players, and he has identified his top three qualities. West Ham star Declan Rice is Arsenal’s top summer transfer target (Picture: Getty) Arsenal have made Rice their top summer transfer target and are confident they can sign the West Ham star ahead of Chelsea, who are long-term admirers. The Hammers are expected to sell Rice at the end of the season with the midfielder unwilling to sign a new contract in east London. Mikel Arteta is believed to be a ‘huge fan’ of Rice and has already made plans regarding where the…

Gabriel Martinelli, an Arsenal attacker, has been out of form in recent weeks. Arsenal news: Gabriel Martinelli has struggled when playing alongside Oleksandr Zinchenko Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli may well have a team-mate to blame for his barren form. Oleksandr Zinchenko has been a superb signing by Mikel Arteta but it may have had a negative impact on Martinelli’s output. Zinchenko is like no other left-back. The Ukraine star plays almost as a midfielder, drifting inside the middle of the pitch. It is very rare that he would overlap Martinelli, who operates down the left-hand side of attack. Granit Xhaka instead does that role but…

Harry Kane was delighted after beating Man City (Image: Sky Sports) Fans think Harry Kane finally showed off his true colours as an Arsenal supporter after admitting his desperation to beat Manchester City. The Tottenham captain netted the only goal of the game to beat City at home on Sunday, tucking away a 15th minute chance clinically.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane of Liverpool line up ahead of the UEFA Champions League final match between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid at Stade de France (Image: Alex Livesey – Danehouse/Getty Images) To say Liverpool’s current fortunes are a slight contrast to those of twelve months ago would be a vast understatement. Having survived a temporary wobble in late December 2021, which saw the Reds surrender significant ground to Manchester City in the title race and ultimately drop seven points in little under two weeks, Jurgen Klopp’s…

Chelsea management have reportedly made a big offer to Zinedine Zidane, indicating that they are thinking beyond Graham Potter. Co-owner Todd Boehly has not been shy in splashing the cash since he took over from Roman Abramovich and he could make Zidane the highest-paid manager on the planet if he opts for a change in the Stamford Bridge dugout. Potter’s reign in west London got off to a dream start with a nine-game winless streak, including home and away victories over AC Milan in the Champions League. Things started to unravel, however, after suffering a heavy defeat at the hands…

One of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s forgotten Man Utd signings looked like he’d be on his way out of Old Trafford, but may have just turned things around under Erik ten Hag Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag appears to have softened his stance on an Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signing that seemed to have no future at Old Trafford under the Dutchman. Initially, it looked as if Facundo Pellistri was not in Ten Hag’s plans for the former Ajax boss’ first season at the helm, but after making three appearances in January, there may still be life in the young Uruguayan’s United career yet. The…

Mason Mount turned down a new contract offer from Chelsea because he believed it would underpay him compared to other veteran players and recent additions. Mason Mount’s Chelsea future is firmly in doubt (Image: Getty Images) Mason Mount’s future is firmly in doubt after talks over a new Chelsea contract were put on hold – and the two parties are reportedly ‘a long way apart’ on coming to an agreement. The 24-year-old has less than 18 months left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge, having come through the ranks, and he has since progressed into an integral first-team player. Mount last signed…

Due to the expiration of his Real Madrid contract, Marco Asensio may go this summer, with Arsenal being one of the Premier League teams interested in a transfer.

Casemiro was sent off against Crystal Palace and is due to miss Man Utd ‘s Premier League games against Leeds home and away, as well as the visit of Leicester. Referee Andre Marriner checks the pitchside VAR screen Erik ten Hag said Man Utd will “think about” appealing Casemiro’s red card against Crystal Palace. Casemiro was dismissed in the 70th minute after the Video Assistant Referee advised his tangle with Palace counterpart Will Hughes was violent conduct and warranted a straight red card.

Alisson, the goalkeeper for Liverpool, lashed out at his teammates after their embarrassing loss to Wolves, as Jurgen Klopp’s team’s terrible Premier League season continued. Alisson Becker conceded three times at Molineux (Image: Getty Images) Alisson has admitted that Liverpool need to “wake up” and show more “fight” after they suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat at Wolves on Saturday afternoon. The Reds were thrashed at Molineux thanks to an own-goal from Joel Matip, Craig Dawson’s strike and Ruben Neves’ second-half finish. It was a dismal performance from Jurgen Klopp’s side, who were second best in every department and therefore succumbed to their third Premier League loss on the bounce. That’s…

The Chelsea boss may be on a different wavelength to the club’s owners (Pictures: Getty) The west London club’s new owners have spent over £600million since taking over last summer and embarked on the biggest January spending spree in history. Nine players were brought in, with a mix of wonderkids, big-money signings – notably the Premier League record £106m addition of Enzo Fernandez on deadline day – and an astronomical…

In their first match under new manager Sean Dyche, resurgent Everton defeated Arsenal 1-0 on the road for just their second Premier League victory of the year. James Tarkowski’s header gave Everton the victory. Mikel Arteta refused to slam his Arsenal players following their shock 1-0 loss to relegation-battling Everton on Saturday. James Tarkowski’s 60th-minute header was enough to give the Toffees their first Premier League win in 105 days, lifting them out of the drop zone in Sean Dyche’s first game as manager. For Arteta and Co, the defeat at a raucous Goodison Park was only their second top-flight loss of the season, following a 3-1 slump at Manchester United exactly…

Man Utd hosted Crystal Palace at OId Trafford, with Erik ten Hag keen on revenging the first-leg draw at Selhurst Park a few weeks ago. The United boss started David de Gea in place of Tom Heaton who was in goal against Nottingham Forest. He retained the same midfield he deployed against Forest and made only one change in the forward line – Marcus Rashford came in ahead of Alejandro Garnacho. Here are three things we learned from Man Utd’s 2-1 win against Crystal Palace. Bruno Fernandes is getting back to his best self Bruno Fernandes is rediscovering himself again at Old Trafford after months of decline from…
