For a second year running, football fans have found themselves asking the question: ‘Could Everton actually go down?’ This year, the situation is arguably looking even bleaker. They are 19th with five games left to play and even with such an experienced coach like Sean Dyche at the helm, it is extremely hard to see where the points are coming from. The revolt on Merseyside from the fans will be vicious if the Toffees do go down to the Championship, but the owners of the club will be more concerned with what it means for the finances. As their recent financial results showed, they couldRead More →

Liverpool welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield this weekend as the race to finish in the European places hots up.

Jurgen Klopp’s men return to Merseyside having narrowly beaten West Ham on Wednesday, while Ryan Mason’s side restored some pride with a well-earned comeback draw against Man Utd a day later. Here’s everything you needRead More →

Erik ten Hag has confirmed Manchester United will not be releasing Alejandro Garnacho for international duty ahead of the upcoming Under-20 World Cup.

Garnacho was wanted in the Argentinian team and manager Javier Mascherano is even understood to have flown to England for talks with the teenager to convince him to miss the end of United’s season. However, Ten Hag has shut down theRead More →

Independiente del Valle general manager Santiago Morales has confirmed Chelsea have agreed to sign 15-year-old Kendry Paez. Paez, seen as one of South America’s most exciting young players, is set to join Chelsea in 2025 in a deal which 90min understands could be worth up to €20m if all bonuses are triggered. “It is something that we have already been talking about on a few occasions, a few months ago. There is a specific interest from Chelsea, it is practically arranged between the parties,” Morales told Studio Futbol on Paez’s future. “Legally we are looking at what can be done, he is a 15-year-old boy, FIFA prohibits thisRead More →

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s positional shift has been to key Liverpool’s recent upturn in form, captain Jordan Henderson has admitted. Alexander-Arnold has long been known for his outstanding delivery and range of passing, and has played as a traditional full-back who pushes on down the flank to allow Mohamed Salah to drift inside and provide a real goal threat. The 24-year-old’s ability going forward has never been questioned, but time and again his defensive position has been found wanting. Coupled with Liverpool’s midfield fragility, Jurgen Klopp’s side have dipped well below the levels of performance expected from them and will likely have to settle for a placeRead More →

Son Heung-min admitted Tottenham’s comeback against Manchester United on Thursday night was fuelled by “anger” from being 2-0 down just days after being mauled 6-1 at Newcastle United. Cristian Stellini’s four-game stint as interim boss ended after Spurs fell 5-0 down at St James’ Park in just 21 minutes, with Ryan Mason asked to take charge of the team until the end of the season in a bid to turn things around. Mason looked on glumly as Spurs fell 2-0 down against United, thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, but a much-improved second half performance saw Spurs claim a 2-2 draw afterRead More →

FROM TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM – Godspeed to any person responsible for trying to predict patterns from Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Spurs have fallen into complete disarray of late but managed to compartmentalise their recent discretions to earn a credible come-from-behind 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United on Thursday night. After Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford fired the Red Devils into a two-goal lead heading into half-time, interim manager Ryan Mason managed to get quite the tune out of his after the break. Pedro Porro pulled one back for Tottenham and Son Heung-min equalised late on as Tottenham took a well-earned point. Here were theirRead More →
