[ad_1] Mikel Arteta says he will go onto the pitch if he has to ensure Bukayo Saka steps up to take Arsenal’s next penalty. The 21-year-old missed from the spot against West Ham on Sunday, with his side surrendering their 2-1 advantage minutes later to leave the London Stadium with just a point. Saka has enjoyed a superb season in north London, registering 12 goals and ten assists in 31 Premier League appearances, and is seen by many to be in contention for the Premier League Player of the Year award. Even if Saka doesn’t win the main prize, there’s every chance that he’ll scoopRead More →

[ad_1] Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta sounded downbeat about William Saliba’s injury progress during his pre-match press conference before Friday’s game against Southampton. The Frenchman suffered a back injury in the second leg of the Gunners’ Europa League round of 16 tie with Sporting CP and hasn’t been seen since. A timeline has never been put on when Saliba might return to action, though a picture of him sitting on a training bike alongside Mohamed Elneny offered hope to Arsenal supporters desperate to see him return alongside Gabriel. But speaking to the press, just four days after Arsenal blew a two-goal lead at West Ham toRead More →

[ad_1] Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has revealed he expects his side to knock Real Madrid out of the UEFA Champions League. The English champions are through to the semi-finals for a third successive season after eliminating Bayern Munich in the last eight, drawing 1-1 at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night to seal a 4-1 aggregate victory. Awaiting Man City are holders Real Madrid in a rematch of last year’s semi-final. Pep Guardiola’s men prevailed 4-3 at the Etihad Stadium, and had led 1-0 in the return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, Rodrygo scored twice in stoppage time to level the aggregate scores,Read More →

[ad_1] Arsenal kick-off the next round of Premier League fixtures when they welcome struggling Southampton to the Emirates Stadium on Friday night. The Gunners have started dropping points at the worst time, having let 2-0 leads slip in each of their last two games against Liverpool and West Ham. That has allowed Manchester City to cut the gap at the top of the table to just four points with a game in hand. So Arsenal have the chance to extend that to seven until they meet each other at the Etihad Stadium next week – City are in action in the FA Cup semi-finals thisRead More →

[ad_1] Nashville SC acquired an international roster spot from FC Cincinnati in exchange for $175,000 in General Allocation Money. The Gary Smith-led side will look to strengthen their roster before the MLS Primary transfer window closes on Monday, April 24th. Though Nashville has seen a decent start to the 2023 Major League Soccer campaign, sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 11 points through eight games, the team will continue to search for depth on the squad.  With defender Nick DePuy injured for the foreseeable future with a torn achilles, Nashville may use their newly acquired international roster spot for another center back.Read More →

[ad_1] Erling Haaland ‘s first half penalty miss proved insignificant as Manchester City ousted Bayern Munich from the Champions League after securing a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena. The Norwegian blazed his spot kick over Yann Sommer’s crossbar towards the end of the first half, but made amendments not long into the second with his 48th goal of the season in all competitions. That put City in complete cruise control, 4-0 up on aggregate, but they couldn’t see out the game after another dubious penalty call – City’s first half award was just as contentious – allowed Joshua Kimmich to level things up. ThomasRead More →

[ad_1] Erling Haaland has spent the 2022/23 season proving any and all doubters he has wrong. Heading into the second leg of Manchester City’s Champions League quarter-final second leg tie with Bayern Munich, he’d scored 47 goals in 40 games across all competitions. Yes, 47 goals in 40 games. That goalscoring rate has led many to believe that Haaland isn’t actually human, rather some kind of cyborg from the future programmed into the Manchester City mainframe to relentlessly score goals and pulverise opponents into submission. He’s scored hat-tricks for fun, made defenders look stupid, and just had a generally swell time of things. So whenRead More →

[ad_1] A 2022 MLS Cup final re-match is on the cards as LAFC faces off against the Philadelphia Union in the CONCACAF Champions League semi-finals. Though Philadelphia may have gotten a rough start to their 2023 MLS season, the Union will look to avenge their MLS Cup loss with a win against LAFC. Led by Julian Caranza, Daniel Gazdag, and a backline that boasts the 2022 MLS Cup defender of the year Jakob Glesnes, Jim Curtin’s side will hope to salvage their year with a good start to the first leg of the semi-final.  Likewise, LAFC will want to add to their trophy cabinet andRead More →
