domestic abuse were made against him. It is understood the 23-year-old spoke to Greater Manchester Police on Thursday and no restrictions were placed on him following the interview. United sources say he has provided evidence in support of his strong denials of the allegations. He has not been arrested or charged in either Brazil or the UK. In a statement, United said: “As Antony’s employer, Manchester United has decided that he will resume training at Carrington and be available for selection, while police inquiries proceed. Antony is not expected to be at training on Friday and will not be considered…
Tottenham Hotspur host Liverpool on Saturday in a huge Premier League game between two of the top-flight’s most in-form sides. Popular pundit Peter Crouch, who has played for both Spurs and the Reds, has shared who he thinks will win on Saturday evening. In the day’s late kick-off, at 5:30pm BST, Tottenham will lock horns with Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Crouch, speaking on That Peter Crouch podcast, initially opted to “sit on the fence” but then predicted that Jurgen Klopp’s side would edge it. When asked who’d win between Tottenham and Liverpool, he replied: “That’s a big question…
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said that Hannibal Mejbri has sent a ‘very good message’ to the rest of the squad following his breakthrough into the first-team. The Tunisian youngster had a lively pre-season campaign with the Red Devils, but there were claims that he could leave the club over the summer due to the Financial Fair Play situation. However, that did not happen. The 20-year-old has now grabbed his chance with both hands. He scored a stunning long-range goal in the 3-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, coming off the bench. Mejbri was an unused substitute…
Liverpool go in search of their eighth successive victory in all competitions when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur this evening (17.30 BST). Jurgen Klopp has even admitted that the Reds’ start to the campaign has taken him by surprise. They’ve racked up 16 points in their opening six Premier League games, which sees them sit second, while they cruised into the Carabao Cup fourth round with a 3-1 win over Leicester City earlier this week. But Liverpool face a significant acid test against a Spurs side who have been transformed since Ange Postecogleu took charge over the summer. The London…
We have started the 2023/24 Premier League in exceptional form, winning all six games to top the embryonic table. After Wednesday’s Carabao Cup defeat at Newcastle United, we return to league action at Wolves on Saturday. Wolves v City | Match preview Ake, who signed a new contract with the Club during the summer, featured 41 times during the 22/23 campaign and has already played eight matches this term. While he’s proud of his Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup medals from last season, the Dutch defender remains hungry for yet more silverware. He says that’s a feeling reciprocated…
Pep Guardiola has urged Manchester City wingers Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku to prove they deserve a place in his attack. Grealish was a key figure when City powered to the treble last season, but the England winger has struggled with injury this season. The former Aston Villa man, who cost City £100 million in 2021, has just returned to action after watching Belgian youngster Doku flourish in his absence. Doku, signed from Rennes in the close-season, offers a different kind of threat on the flanks than Grealish and some City fans have called for the 21-year-old to start in…
It was on this day 11 years ago that Liverpool fans witnessed a terrific hat-trick at Carrow Road. That hat-trick was of course scored by the irrepressible Luis Suarez, who bagged three trebles against Norwich City during his years at Liverpool. Commemorating the second of those displays today, the Reds’ official Twitter account posted highlights of Suarez’s three goals. Obviously grateful to re-live a super day for himself, Suarez himself popped up in the comments. “Unforgettable,” wrote the Uruguayan, with a hands-making-heart emoji, too. One of the best to ever do it. It was on this day that Liverpool fans perhaps realised…
Liverpool boss Klopp, meanwhile, described his team’s trip to north London as “a really tough test”. Klopp, who said Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to return to the match-day squad after recovering from a thigh injury, expects a different challenge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to those his side have faced during the tenures of recent Spurs bosses Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho. “Both teams will play football. That is good news and a little bit new news because at Tottenham in recent years you played against maybe the best counter-attacking team in the world. It’s unbelievable what they set up…
Ange Postecoglou may have made a fast start at Tottenham but he says the long-term approach taken by Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp is a template for the club to follow to achieve success. Spurs host Liverpool live on Sky Sports on Saturday Night Football, with both sides unbeaten and aiming to build on their impressive early-season form. However, despite Spurs winning four and drawing two of their first six Premier League games under Postecoglou, the head coach has insisted it will take time for his work to bring rewards and earlier this month suggested it may take at least another two transfer windows…
Tottenham have one new injury ahead of the visit of Liverpool, while Ange Postecoglou admits two key players are still “a bit sore” after recent knocks. The Reds head to north London this weekend with only Thiago (hip), Stefan Bajcetic (calf) and Conor Bradley on the injury list. Trent Alexander-Arnold has returned to training following a hamstring injury, meaning Jurgen Klopp has a strong squad to select from. Similar can be said for Postecoglou, though Tottenham have a new absentee in the form of winger Brennan Johnson. Johnson suffered a hamstring issue in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal last weekend, joining Bryan Gil (groin), Rodrigo Bentancur (ACL), Ivan…
