Welcome to match number eight of the Premier League season, wherein Chelsea will be seeking out third Premier League win of the season and a third win in a row in all competitions for the first time since March. As expected, Mauricio Pochettino is sticking with the winning lineup from Monday, including up top, where Armando Broja retains his spot over the returning-from-suspension Nicolas Jackson — but not at left wing, where Raheem Sterling comes in for Mykhailo Mudryk, who had picked up a (minor) quad injury on Monday. Presumably he didn’t recover as well as we had hoped though…
The forward suffered an injury during a challenge in last Saturday’s Premier League fixture at Tottenham Hotspur, forcing him from the field at half-time and to subsequently leave the stadium in a leg brace. However, Gakpo is making good progress and Klopp has provided a positive update on the condition of the No.18. The boss said: “Cody, there is a good chance. He is already out of the brace, walks normal around, so from all the very, very bad opportunities and possibilities injury-wise, I think he nearly got the best but is still injured.” Elsewhere, Klopp detailed the latest on…
The Egyptian has netted six goals for the Reds versus the Seagulls so far, a tally that matches Sir Kenny Dalglish, and one more strike will see him assume outright top spot. This game falls on the eighth anniversary of Jürgen Klopp’s appointment as Liverpool manager. He has overseen 190 wins in his 303 league games in charge to date. The Reds are now six goals short of recording 650 in league matches under Klopp. Liverpool have won four of their six previous Premier League visits to Brighton, with one draw and one loss, which came last season. Of the…
Liverpool’s vice-captain has grown close to Szoboszlai ever since the latter arrived at the club from RB Leipzig this past July. The pair’s drive and determination on the pitch is clear to see, but they’ve found they’re just as compatible when not going all out in training or in the hunt for points on matchdays. “[He’s] similar to me, to be fair,” Alexander-Arnold explained to Sky Sports. “I’d say off the pitch, away from football, very relaxed, laidback, downtime, chill. We take our minds away from football. “Whereas when we’re in a football environment around the training ground, in training,…
An early goal from Stina Blackstenius gave us the lead but we were undone by the hosts through Leah Galton and Melvine Malard. With mere seconds left on the clock, a spectacular last-minute strike from Cloe Lacasse stole a point from the jaws of defeat. Jonas Eidevall made six changes to our starting XI going into the clash at the Leigh Sports Village, as Spanish defender Laia Codina earned her debut as part of a back three with Amanda Ilestedt and Jen Beattie. Sabrina D’Angelo, Stina Blackstenius, Noelle Maritz and Victoria Pelova all joined our lineup as we searched for…
It’s a massive game for us,” he said on Friday. “Unfortunately we haven’t won against City for a long time in the Premier League. Obviously we’re expecting a tough game. “The fans at Emirates Stadium are always trying to push us forward. We really appreciate it because it helps us a lot when there are tough moments. “It was always a pleasure to play here as a City player. Apart from the amazing crowd, they always had amazing grass on the pitch. It’s a pleasure to play here. I don’t remember getting cramp playing here because of the quality of…
Premier League giants Arsenal recently sent scouts to watch Italy-born Nigerian right-back Michael Kayode, who currently plays for Fiorentina in the Serie A. Kayode broke into Fiorentina’s first team this season and has already made six appearances, providing an assist in the recent 3-0 win over Cagliari. According to Football Italia, representatives from Arsenal and Italy coach Luciano Spalletti were in the stands in Fiorentina’s recent game keeping a close eye on the talented 19-year-old. A product of Juventus’ youth system, Kayode spent seven years attached to the club before joining Serie D side Gozzano, initially on a two-year loan before…
Mikel Arteta said title-chasing Arsenal can take confidence from their Community Shield win over Manchester City as the Gunners face the Premier League champions on Sunday. Arsenal have not beaten City in the league since 2015, but the Gunners boss said their August victory on penalties in the Community Shield — the annual curtain-raiser to the season — had given his team belief. That was an important one for us,” he said. “To win a title against Man City is always something you have to value. The way we did it as well and it gives us confidence and belief…
A report from Fotospor claims that the two clubs sent scouts to watch the 23-year-old defender in action against Manchester United. It will be interesting to see if either of the two London clubs decide to act on their interest and come forward with a concrete proposal to sign the defender in the coming months. Boey has been linked with the move to the Premier League in the past as well. The 23-year-old French defender certainly has the ability to succeed in the Premier League and he could prove to be a useful acquisition for both clubs. Arsenal need to…
