[ad_1] Manchester City will be desperate for a comfortable and uneventful victory at home to Wolves when they take on the West Midlands side on Sunday afternoon. There has been far too much chaos and inconsistency for Pep Guardiola’s liking in recent weeks and it seemed to come to a head with his post-match comments after the Tottenham match. City know that any more slip-ups could hand the title to Arsenal and they will also be in the knowledge that Arsenal are up against Manchester United, meaning dropped points there are very possible. This is the side that Guardiola might deploy to ensure he getsRead More →

[ad_1] Jesus Ferreira made his World Cup debut at the 2022 edition in Qatar, representing the United States men’s national team under head coach Gregg Berhalter.  The call up to the 26-player roster stood as no surprise, after he played an integral part for the USMNT during Concacaf qualifiers. He inspired the American team to third on the table with 25 points in 14 games to clinch a ticket to the international tournament for the first time since 2014.  Despite years of dreaming, nothing could have prepared Ferreira for the sport’s biggest stage.  “[The World Cup] was amazing. As a kid, you grow up watchingRead More →

[ad_1] Solly March has always had talent. Five Brighton managers over the past decade have acknowledged that by having him as a mainstay of their Albion sides, from Oscar Garcia who handed March his debut in 2013 through Sami Hyypia, Chris Hughton, and Graham Potter to Roberto De Zerbi in the present day. What March has missed in the past is belief, sometimes to the frustration of Seagulls supporters. Yes, he is a great player. But he could be even better. This lack of self-confidence could be used to partly explain why March had scored only 14 times for Brighton from 157 starts and 95Read More →

[ad_1] Chelsea manager Graham Potter has hinted new signing Mykhailo Mudryk could make his debut in this weekend’s clash with Liverpool. Mudryk completed his big-money transfer to Stamford Bridge from Shakhtar Donetsk on Sunday, signing a whopping eight-and-a-half-year contract. The 22-year-old has already been getting to know his new teammates in training and with a testing trip to Anfield coming this Saturday to face Liverpool, fans are naturally wondering whether or not Mudryk could make his debut. Potter has called for realism when it comes to Mudryk’s immediate impact as the Ukraine international adjusts to a new league and country, but did reveal he’d beenRead More →

[ad_1] Memphis Depay has completed his move from Barcelona to Atletico Madrid, penning a two-and-a-half-year contract. The 28-year-old arrived at Camp Nou in the summer of 2021, following the expiration of his Lyon contract, and signed a two-year deal. But the Dutchman was never able to command a regular place in Barcelona’s side and his opportunities have been further limited this season after Robert Lewandowski’s arrival from Bayern Munich. Memphis has only played in four games in all competitions during 2022/23 and it was no secret that Barcelona were willing to let him go if an interested party was willing to take on his heftyRead More →

[ad_1] Chelsea have had enquiries for Moises Caicedo, Yves Bissouma and Franck Kessie rejected this week, 90min understands. The Blues have spent an incredible amount of money since the Todd Boehly-led acquisition from the club from Roman Abramovich was completed at the end of May. Mykhailo Mudryk, Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella have all cost Chelsea well in excess of £50m, while the two-time Champions League winners have also lavishly spent on Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Benoit Badiashile among others. 90min revealed on Thursday that a deal worth £35m for PSV Eindhoven winger Noni Madueke has also been agreed, and he’s set to undergoRead More →

[ad_1] Pep Guardiola has insisted that Manchester City will not catch league leading Arsenal if they continue to perform as they did in the 4-2 win over Tottenham. City put in a woefully under-par performance in the first half on Thursday evening, going two goals behind, before improving in the second half and scoring four to complete a dramatic comeback. The win sees City move to within five points of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table but, speaking after the game to the BBC, Guardiola insisted that they currently cannot compete for the title: “We are far away from the team weRead More →
