The autumn international break is upon us, but it would appear that a beef between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool has carried over from the Premier League into the England camp ahead of their games against Australia and Italy. The crux of the ongoing row is the recent match between the two clubs on Sept. 30 that was engulfed in VAR controversy over a decision that went against the Reds, who lost the game 2-1 via Joël Matip’s stoppage-time own goal. This was after Luis Díaz had a first-half goal wrongly disallowed due to a miscommunication between the on-field officials and the VAR…

Liverpool will return from the international break without a number of their key players, but how long will we have to wait for each absentee to return? The Reds have made an impressive start to their Premier League campaign and will resume with one of the biggest fixtures of the lot against Everton in next weekend’s early kick-off. Jurgen Klopp has been fortunate not to have lost too many players to injury so far this season, but a couple of recent fitness issues have been compounded by an unwelcome streak of red cards and subsequent bans. Here, we take a look at those who are…
Tottenham Hotspur and manager Ange Postecoglou have a “top-class talent” in their ranks and he is “on the verge” of being absolutely world class. Spurs are now a completely different side under their new manager. In stark contrast to the Antonio Conte era, Postecoglou’s new-look Tottenham team are displaying an attack-minded style, and one which has resulted in them being top of the Premier League standings. The north Londoners are yet to taste defeat in the league this campaign, and this has been their best start to a season since they won a domestic double in 1961. Making Tottenham’s form…
Manchester City star Jack Grealish has praised Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou for their impressive start to the 2023/24 Premier League season.

The Gunners have also not lost in the league this season, having matched their north London rivals’ exact results and goal difference, however they sit second with less goals scored. While the Lilywhites have played the current bottom four of Luton, Sheffield United, Bournemouth…
Manchester United have launched an investigation into why their first-team squad has suffered so many injuries. With the Premier League season just eight matches in, no fewer than 16 players have been injured or unavailable to manager Erik ten Hag so far. That situation has ensured that the Dutchman has been unable to pick his first choice XI once this season, with new signings Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount among those affected. It has also played a role in what has been an underwhelming start, with United currently in 10th place. Mail Sport understands that officials from the Old Trafford…
