Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned that he will ‘kill’ any of his players that feel intimidated by their Premier League title showdown with Manchester City. The Gunners travel to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night sitting five points clear of their hosts at the top of the table, though having played two games more and with arguably a harder run-in. Arteta’s men head north having drawn their last three games, losing a considerable amount of momentum at the worst possible time.

To score four goals in one match – a poker as its known in Spain – is a rare set of cards to be dealt. Since Antonio Emery – future manager Unai Emery’s grandfather – conceded the first strike in the history of La Liga nearly a century ago, less than 150 players have ever felt the incandescent joy of scoring as many as four goals in the same game. Yet, only half a dozen have ever achieved such a feat against the most successful club in the history of the competition, Real Madrid. Here are each of the select few to have hit thoseRead More →

Plenty has changed at Elland Road since this time last year, but Leeds remain in a similarly ominous position heading into the final few games of the season. Jesse Marsch – with a little bit of help from Raphinha – was able to inspire the Yorkshire club to safety in 2021/22, and Javi Gracia is looking to do the same at the end of 2022/23. The Spaniard was appointed as a mere stop-gap in the wake of Marsch’s dismissal, but Gracia’s spell in charge has been pretty indifferent thus far, with the recent 1-1 draw against fellow drop-zone fearers Leicester doing very little for eitherRead More →

Real Valladolid right-back Ivan Fresneda has confessed he has been impressed by Mikel Arteta’s work at Arsenal this season. The 18-year-old has enjoyed a breakout season which yielded interest from both Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund during the January transfer window, and there are expected to be plenty of additional suitors in the summer. Whether Arsenal reignite their interest or not remains to be seen – Takehiro Tomiyasu’s injury could play a deciding factor – but Fresneda has added fuel to the fire by revealing his admiration for Arteta. “I like Arteta a lot because I think he’s a great coach; I follow the European leaguesRead More →

Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has given his thoughts on the ‘gardener’ nickname that the Madrid press have given him, admitting that he actually finds it funny. The Barcelona manager was nicknamed the ‘gardener’ by Madrid-based outlets after his comments on the state of the pitch at Getafe’s home turf for the club’s disappointing 0-0 draw recently. “The pitch held us back,” he said. “We expected it, we trained on a dry pitch on Saturday. It is difficult to play here and it is not good for the spectacle. The ball gets stuck, it’s even bad for Getafe.” Following that utterance, the Madrid press were keenRead More →

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson will consult with co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney about summer transfer business following the club’s promotion back into the EFL. The Welsh team, taken over by the pair of actors in late 2020, secured top spot in the National League – and the automatic promotion it brings – with Saturday’s 3-1 win over Boreham Wood. Wrexham, one of the oldest clubs on the English football league ladder, have been out of the EFL since 2008 and narrowly missed out on promotion last season when they finished second to Stockport County and subsequently fell short in the play-offs. They have historicallyRead More →

Chelsea caretaker manager Frank Lampard was asked about the club’s interest in hiring Mauricio Pochettino at a press conference on Tuesday. The Blues are on the hunt for a new permanent boss after parting ways with Graham Potter earlier this month. 90min understands that ex-Tottenham manager Pochettino is closing in on the job at Stamford Bridge. Ahead of Wednesday’s meeting with west London neighbours Brentford, Lampard was asked about the club’s links to the Argentine. “I’m not going to get involved in any future manager talk,” Lampard insisted. “It’s all speculation at this stage, simple as that.” Lampard was then asked if he expected toRead More →
