‘Would be a great move’: Some Man Utd fans react to latest transfer rumour
Manchester United defender Brandon Williams has struggled for games this season, and he could leave the club on loan in January. According to reports from the Telegraph, Southampton are keen to sign the England Under-21 full-back on loan next month. The 20-year-old was targeted by the Saints during the summer transfer window as well. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blocked the move at that time. United bolstered their left-back areas having signed Alex Telles from Porto on the deadline day in October. As a result, Williams has dropped further down the pecking order and has managed only six minutes of Premier League football so far. The Telegraph claims that United are open to letting Williams spend the second half of the season on loan. Newcastle United are also interest...
‘Really, really good’: Ancelotti suggests one Everton player has surprised him
Carlo Ancelotti has showered heaps of praise on defender Ben Godfrey ahead of Everton’s Premier League clash against Leicester City on Wednesday. The Toffees are heading to this game on the back of a 1-0 win against Chelsea in the Premier League at Goodison Park last week. Everton are missing a lot of key players through injury. The likes of Seamus Coleman and Lucas Digne being both ruled out, and it seems Ben Godfrey is set to continue at the back. Godfrey joined the Toffees in the summer transfer window from Norwich City for a reported fee of £25m. Ancelotti has said in the press conference that Godfrey has surprised him with his qualities. The Italian boss has hailed the young defender as someone with a ‘strong personality’, and feels that the club has signed a ‘really, really...
Report: Leeds could reignite interest in 23 y/o target in January…but there’s one condition
Leeds United could make another attempt to sign Daniel James from Manchester United during the January transfer window, according to reports from The Telegraph. The Whites showed interest in signing James during the summer transfer window, but the move didn’t materialise due to United not signing a right winger and Leeds ended up signing Raphinha instead. With Leeds struggling at the moment, Marcelo Bielsa could look to bolster his attacking areas, and the Whites may test United’s resolve regarding the Welsh winger. However, the deal is dependant on whether United could bring Amad Diallo to Old Trafford. The Red Devils secured a £37.2m deal with Atalanta for Diallo in October, and the club hope the 18-year-old Ivory Coast winger will be able to join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad in the comi...
Arsenal technical director Edu and City boss Guardiola publicly back Arteta
Arsenal technical director Edu Gaspar and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola have publicly backed manager Mikel Arteta who has come under pressure due to the North London club’s poor start to the season, according to the Daily Mirror. The Gunners have made their worst start to a season in Premier League history and find themselves 15th in the table after having played 12 games. They have scored just ten goals in the league this season and one goal from open play in the last two months. Arsenal have lost their last four Premier League games at the Emirates. Serious questions are being asked of Arteta for the first time since his return to the club last December. The former Manchester City assistant manager needs to improve results at the club and turn their season around. A man who wa...
‘Going to cost them’: BBC pundit makes prediction about Leeds vs Newcastle
Leeds United will face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Wednesday night at Elland Road. The Whites are struggling to find consistency after an impressive start to the season, and have managed only one win in their last six games. The Yorkshire club are heading into this game on the back of two successive defeats (Chelsea and West Ham), and Marcelo Bielsa’s side will be looking to return to winning ways. Leeds have managed only one win at home this season, but BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson feels they should be able to pick up all three points against the Magpies. Steve Bruce’s side have won back-to-back league games, including an impressive 2-0 win away at Selhurst Park. They find themselves 12th in the league table, although the football played under Bruce has not always been spectacu...
‘I don’t think it will quite be a case’: Lawrenson predicts the outcome of Liverpool vs Spurs
Liverpool will face Tottenham Hotspur in a top-of-the-table clash on Wednesday at Anfield and Mark Lawrenson has predicted a draw for this game. The Premier League champions are second in the league behind Spurs, tied on points and only separated by goal difference. Both the sides are heading into this fixture on the back of disappointing results over the weekend. Spurs managed a 1-1 draw in the London derby clash against Crystal Palace, while Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham at Craven Cottage. Liverpool were surprisingly poor in the first half against the Cottagers where they were completely outplayed by Scott Parker’s side. Lawrenson has suggested to BBC Sport that if the Reds repeat a similar sort of performance against Spurs, they are likely to be punished. The popular BBC p...
‘This is pathetic’: Some Liverpool fans react to what Klopp has just said ahead of Spurs clash
Liverpool will face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League clash on Wednesday night at Anfield, and it promises to be a cracker. Only goal difference sets two teams apart at the top of the table, and Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool boss has paid great respect to their opponent ahead of the match. Klopp has delivered the latest injury news ahead of the match, and there’s very little to get excited about for a Liverpool fan. The Reds boss has suggested that no one is coming back from injury, while the club physios are working really hard to keep Joel Matip fit for this clash. Matip picked up a back spasm during the game against Fulham and he was taken off in the first half at Craven Cottage. With Liverpool already depleted at the back, losing Matip at the back for such a crunch game would be a ...
‘That’s great news then’: Some Everton fans react to what Ancelotti said v Leicester
Everton will face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday in the Premier League. The Toffees returned to winning ways last week when they defeated Chelsea 1-0 at Goodison Park. Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to maintain the winning momentum when the Toffees face the Foxes, but he could be without some of his key players. Ahead of the match, Ancelotti has confirmed that Toffees winger James Rodriguez and captain Seamus Coleman will not be available for Wednesday’s clash. Rodriguez – who joined from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window – missed last week’s 1-0 win over the Blues with a calf injury. While the club is assessing his fitness on a daily basis, the midweek fixture may have come too soon for the Colombian. He is likely to be fit to play against the Gunners at Go...
French trio to start, 23y/o to retain place: Predicted Spurs XI vs Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur travel to Anfield tomorrow to face joint-English Premier League leaders Liverpool, and manager Jose Mourinho will be keen to leave Merseyside with all three points. Spurs’ last victory at Anfield came in 2011 and they have won just once in their last 17 meetings with the Reds. Both teams have started the 2020-21 league campaign on an impressive note, winning seven games, drawing four games and losing one game apiece, and Spurs are only top of the table due to their better defensive record. Mourinho’s men have conceded 10 league goals – the least in the top-flight – and scored 24 goals, while Liverpool have shipped 18 goals and scored 27 goals – the most in the division. Liverpool’s attack and Spurs’ defence will both face their stiffest test yet tomorrow, and the game sho...
‘House on fire: Rio Ferdinand delivers verdict on Leeds after ‘indifferent’ results
Former Manchester United defender turned popular football pundit Rio Ferdinand feels that it is hard to guess what Leeds United are going to produce next following their recent slump in form. The former Leeds defender has suggested that it ‘hasn’t been coming’ for the Whites as they faced back-to-back defeats in the Premier League. Leeds lost 3-1 against Chelsea and suffered a 2-1 defeat against West Ham at home last week. Marcelo Bielsa’s side have picked up just one win in their last six games, and have won only once at Elland Road this term. After an impressive start to the season, Marcelo Bielsa’s side now find themselves in the bottom half of the table and they are badly in need of consistency. Ferdinand has now given his view on Leeds on his official Youtube channel: “Leeds are...
Milan line up loan move for Arsenal midfielder
Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira could be set for a return back to Serie A, with league leaders AC Milan reportedly monitoring his current situation. The Uruguayan joined the Gunners in the summer transfer window of 2018, and became an instant hit with the fans, scoring the fourth in a 4-2 victory against bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur. However, things have gone a bit sour since then, and he has since been loaned out to Atletico Madrid in a deal which saw Thomas Partey move in the opposite direction. Torreira’s time at the Wanda Metropolitano hasn’t worked out as he’d have hoped, making just two starts for Los Rojiblancos in all competitions. And now it seems as if his spell in La Liga is coming to an end, with Milan Live reporting that Diego Simeone is ready to cancel his loan deal. The...
Predicted Man Utd XI vs Sheffield United: Solskjaer to make two changes to his lineup
Manchester United travel to Sheffield United later this week and they will be hoping to climb up the Premier League table with a win away from home. The Red Devils are eighth in the Premier League standings with 20 points from 11 games and they will be expected to perform better in the coming weeks. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have failed to win three of their last four matches in all competitions and they will be under pressure to step up and deliver this week. Manchester United have an impressive head to head record against Sheffield United and they have won four of their last five meetings against the Blades. Meanwhile Sheffield United are heading into this game on the back of six consecutive defeats and they have picked up just one point from their twelve Premier League games so far. Ch...
