[ad_1] Inter Miami took a big step forward in 2022 and will be looking to carry that momentum into the new campaign. The Herons climbed to sixth in the Eastern Conference under Phil Neville, returning to the MLS Cup Playoffs after a year out in 2021. Having strengthened in a number of key areas, Miami will be confident they can not only repeat the feat this time around, but perhaps go one better by finishing higher up in the East and winning a Playoffs game or two. So, here’s everything you need to know about Inter Miami ahead of the new MLS season, including tactics,Read More →

[ad_1] Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has placed a bid to buy Manchester United from the Glazer family. It was announced that he had done so, heading up a Qatari consortium, in a statement released to the public. “Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani today confirmed his submission of a bid for 100 per cent of Manchester United Football Club,” a statement read. “The bid plans to return the Club to its former glories both on and off the pitch, and – above all – will seek to place the fans at the heart of Manchester United Football Club once more. “The bid willRead More →

[ad_1] Manchester City were made to pay for an inefficient display in front of goal as substitute Chris Wood earned Nottingham Forest a deserved point at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon. Bernardo Silva’s blockbuster effort from distance had Pep Guardiola’s side in front and heading back to the top of the Premier League table. However, the visitors couldn’t extend their lead and were pegged back when Morgan Gibbs-White crossed for Chris Wood to convert at the back post to make it 1-1 late in the second half. The visitors saw shots from Jack Grealish, Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne blocked, while Brennan JohnsonRead More →

[ad_1] After a poor start to his Liverpool career, Cody Gakpo came alive in the Merseyside derby, scoring and being one of his side’s best players in the 2-0 win over Everton. When he was signed from PSV for around £40m in January, it was hoped he could be the creative force Jurgen Klopp’s side desperately needed to turn around their season. The Dutchman was anything but in his first six matches, failing to score a goal, get an assist or do anything of note at all. He was much better in his seventh though, and if the club want to beat Newcastle and keepRead More →

[ad_1] Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that midfielder Thomas Partey will need ‘another week’ before returning to first-team action. The Ghana international picked up a muscle injury in training ahead of the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City, and after missing that game, was also left out of Saturday’s trip to face Aston Villa. Ahead of the game, Arteta cooled fears that Partey could be out for an extended period and confirmed the midfielder should be back in action soon. “He’s not fit,” Arteta told BT Sport. “He didn’t even train with us yesterday. He wasn’t feeling good enough to do that so he probablyRead More →

[ad_1] Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted Fabio Carvalho has been frustrated with his lack of minutes at Anfield recently. The 20-year-old joined Liverpool in the summer and has made 18 appearances for the Reds, although he has not played in the Premier League since a three-minute cameo against Southampton in the middle of November. More recently, Carvalho has struggled to make Liverpool’s matchday squad at all, and Klopp was asked about the former Fulham man’s situation during his latest press conference. “Fabio is a very young player, big talent, absolutely,” the boss began. “He played well for us in a couple of games. NowRead More →

[ad_1] In August, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters pulled back the curtain of a new season by declaring: “Let the soap opera begin.” Six months on, England’s top flight has been the setting for unrealistic storylines, an earth-shattering legal case and almost every Premier League manager appears to have been afflicted with the rapid ageing syndrome of any soap character between the ages of ten and 20. Yet, there is still more than a third of the campaign to play, countless goals and even more narratives to enjoy for the engrossed masses. Here’s what you can tune in for this Saturday. A clash ofRead More →

[ad_1] Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is free to decide his own future as he approaches the end of his current contract. Gundogan’s deal expires this summer and there have yet to be any signs of a renewal, with the likes of Bayern Munich and, more recently, Barcelona strongly linked as potential suitors for the Germany international. Despite concerns over his future, Gundogan remains City’s captain and is a core part of Guardiola’s lineup every week, and the boss could not hide his admiration for the 32-year-old. “I think I know my opinion about Ilkay. What Ilkay has doneRead More →

[ad_1] Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has insisted that his side have never been the favourites to win the Premier League title after their 3-1 defeat to Manchester City saw them slip off the top of the table. The Gunners had been comfortably ahead but a stumbling run of three games without a win – and four in all competitions – has opened the door to City, although Arsenal do still have a game in hand and remain in control of their own destiny. A win over Aston Villa in Saturday’s early kick-off would see Arsenal return to top spot, perhaps only temporarily as City travelRead More →

[ad_1] Paris Saint-Germain’s next step to break out from their mini crisis will see them host Lille on Sunday. Three straight defeats across all competitions have ramped the pressure up on everyone at Parc des Princes and Christophe Galtier’s side could do with building up some momentum ahead of a massive return meeting with Bayern Munich next month. Before then, however, PSG will have to take on Lille, who are on the cusp of challenging for a Champions League spot. Here’s all you need to know about this one.
