‘It’s worse than…’: Klopp reveals two Liverpool players have now suffered ‘similar’ injuries
Liverpool failed to move to the top of the Premier League table after just managing a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday. The Reds have now picked up just one win away from home this season, with skipper Jordan Henderson admitting that injuries are disrupting their momentum. Jurgen Klopp’s side are already without the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Thiago Alcantara, James Milner, and Xherdan Shaqiri, and now more players have joined them in the treatment room. Diogo Jota – the summer signing from Wolverhampton Wanderers – could be out for two months. The Reds boss has confirmed that the Portuguese winger has picked up a knee injury, similar to the one sustained by left-back Kostas Tsimikas while playing against FC Midtjylland in the Champions League. Klopp...
Predicted Leeds starting XI v Newcastle: Bielsa to make just one change, 24 y/o dropped
Leeds United will face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Wednesday at Elland Road, and you can watch this and other Premier League games live online. Kick-off: 18:00 BST Tv Info: The match will be shown live on Amazon Prime. The Whites are heading into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats in the Premier League against Chelsea and West Ham respectively. Marcelo Bielsa’s side are struggling to hit the form they showed at the start of the season. They have picked up only one win in their last six league games. Leeds haven’t been at their best at home this season as well, having managed just one win at Elland Road thus far. Bielsa said in the press conference that he won’t reveal his team anymore before the match, but we can guess it won’t be a much-changed s...
Report: Everton ready to raid Premier League club for 24-yr-old, Ancelotti an admirer
Everton are interested in a loan move for the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli. The 24-year-old is yet to start a Premier League game for Tottenham since the opening day match against Everton and it seems that he has fallen out of favour with Jose Mourinho. The Londoners have done well in the Premier League so far and they are expected to challenge for the title. It remains to be seen whether the England international can reclaim his starting berth in the coming weeks. According to the Mirror, Everton are prepared to make a move for Alli once the transfer window opens in January. Alli was one of the brightest young talents in England when Mauricio Pochettino was in charge of Tottenham and he needs to play regular first-team football in order to realise his potential. Furthermore, wit...
Champions League Round of 16 Draw Announced
The fixtures for this season’s Champions League round of 16 have been announced. Borussia Monchengladbach will play their first-ever Champions League knockout game at home to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, while last season’s winners Bayern Munich will travel to Lazio. Atletico Madrid meet Chelsea in a repeat of the 2014 semi-final, which the Spanish side won. Jurgen Klopp will return to his home country to bring his Liverpool side to RB Leipzig, while it’s also a homecoming for Cristiano Ronaldo, who visits his native Portugal to face Porto. The most enticing tie of the round came when Barcelona were drawn against French giants Paris Saint-Germain. Last time the two sides met, Barcelona won 6-1 at the Camp Nou, completing an incredible comeback after losing the first leg 4-0. Rounding o...
Journalist claims what Man Utd have decided about signing £38m Liverpool target
Manchester United are no longer interested in signing Dayot Upamecano, according to reports from The Athletic. David Ornstein has claimed that United and Bayern Munich have recently emerged as the most ‘credible’ destination for the 22-year-old centre-back. However, United have surprisingly cooled their interest in the Frenchman who has a €42m (£38) million release clause that comes into effect once the season is over. It means any potential suitor would try to secure the signing of Upamecano next summer instead of signing him in the January transfer window. Central defence is one of the areas that United will be looking to bolster next summer. The likes of Eric Bailly, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones have hardly made any impact under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and the club should be looki...
Report: Leicester and West Ham linked with a January move for £15m-rated powerhouse
Roma midfielder Amadou Diawara has been linked with a move to the Premier League and it seems that the likes of Leicester City and West Ham United might be keen on the player. The physically imposing midfielder was heavily linked with Arsenal and Leicester City in the summer but he chose to stay at the Italian club eventually. Latest reports (via The Sun) claim that Roma are now prepared to cash in on the midfielder next month and he could be available for a fee of just £15 million. Diawara has not been a key player for Roma this season and he has made just two appearances in the League for the Italians. The midfielder arrived with a big reputation from Napoli last summer but he has failed to establish himself as a key first-team star at Roma. It is evident that Roma are looking to cu...
Sky Sports pundit names the Liverpool player who can do everything that Spurs star does and more
Former Liverpool midfielder, club legend turned popular football pundit, Graeme Souness feels that both Sadio Mane is better than Son Heung-min despite the latter’s red-hot form this season. Liverpool will face Tottenham Hotspur in the top-of-the-table Premier League clash on Wednesday night at Anfield. Both the teams are tied on the same points at the top and are only separated by goal difference. Both the sides are heading into this game on the back of disappointing results in their previous games. Spurs drew 1-1 against Crystal Palace in the London derby at Selhurst Park, while Liverpool managed a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage. With Manchester City struggling to maintain consistency this season, Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham have emerged as a likely contender to challenge L...
Bielsa confirms 27 y/o Leeds player is not injured
Leeds United will face Newcastle United in the Premier League clash on Wednesday at Elland Road. The Whites are heading into the match on the back of two successive defeats. They are going through a bad patch at the moment, having managed just one win in their last six games. Last week, Bielsa named his starting line-up publicly ahead of the game. It generated loads of attention, and many pundits felt the strategy backfired as Leeds lost 2-1 against the Hammers. Bielsa has confirmed in the press conference today that he will refrain from doing so going forward, although he doesn’t see any malice in it. The Argentine has also insisted that Leeds have no fresh injury issues at the moment. When specifically asked about whether Patrick Bamford is injured, Bielsa responded in one word – ‘No’. B...
Report: Hammers handed boost as they can sign £20m Brazilian for free in July
According to The Sun, West Ham United have been handed a potential transfer boost as they can sign Lyon centre-back Marcelo for free next summer. The Hammers were close to landing him for £20 million last January as he was keen to leave the French side for the Premier League, but the deal fell through. Marcelo has just seven months left on his current deal at Lyon and isn’t close to signing a new deal as things stand. The 33-year-old will most likely leave as a free agent at the end of 2020-21, and that would give West Ham the opportunity to land him for nothing. Hammers boss David Moyes wanted to bolster his centre-back options in the January transfer window, and the club were strongly linked with Burnley’s James Tarkowski. However, they were priced out of a move and they couldn’t agree a...
‘I’m not sure’: PL star suggests Leeds fans have left him baffled
Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has suggested that he receives a lot of criticism and slack from Leeds United fans, even though the Whites are not direct rivals of Villa. The 25-year-old Villa skipper is a fantastic player who has not only impressed heavily in the Premier League but has shown his class while playing for his country as well. Known for his brilliant dribbling skills, deft touches and creativity, Grealish often draws fouls from opposition players. In fact, he was the most fouled player in the league last season, and the same trend has continued in the current campaign as well. Grealish has admitted that opposition fans beat him with the stick that he goes down easily, and he admits that probably to a certain extent that’s true as well. However, that’s the nature of his g...

Pickford reveals what Ancelotti told Everton players before the Chelsea match
Everton returned to winning ways last weekend after winning 1-0 against Chelsea at Goodison Park in the Premier League. A first-half penalty from Gylfi Sigurdsson earned all three points for the Toffees. The home side rode a bit of luck as well, with Chelsea hitting the woodwork twice. Jordan Pickford, the Everton goalkeeper, has revealed what Carlo Ancelotti’s message was for the team prior to the game on Saturday. He says the Italian boss urged everyone to summon the “spirit and fight” which inspired last season’s stirring victory over Chelsea at Goodison Park. It was indeed a spirited performance from the home side as they ended Chelsea’s 17-game unbeaten run on the night, where 2000 home fans returned to Goodison. In the previous home meeting between the two sides, Everton edged ...
