Trent Alexander-Arnold says he owes everything to Jurgen Klopp and believes the Liverpool manager’s impending departure could feed into the title-race drama.
Reigning champions Manchester City sit top of the Premier League pile with six matches remaining after second-placed Arsenal and the third-spotted Reds suffered shock defeats on Sunday.
Liverpool’s 1-0 home loss to Crystal Palace compounded Thursday’s 3-0 Europa League quarter-final defeat at the hands of Atalanta in what could prove Klopp’s final European night at Anfield.
Alexander-Arnold made his return from two months out with a knee injury in the Eagles encounter and expects more “twists and turns” as the popular German’s final season in charge comes to an end.
“I think experienc…
Milan Mandaric has sold Championship club Sheffield Wednesday to a Thai consortium, it was announced on Thursday.
A Thai consortium, headed by businessman Dejphon Chansiri, has completed their takeover of Championship club Sheffield Wednesday.
Chansiri, whose family own the Thai Union Frozen Group, have agreed a deal to purchase 100 per cent of Wednesday s shareholding from current owner Milan Mandaric.
Mandaric saved the Yorkshire club from the threat of administration when he acquired the club in November 2010 and under his ownership the team were promoted back to the second tier in the 2011-12 season.
However, the 76-year-old has always maintained he would relinquish control if the right proposition was put forward and he confirmed talks with Chansiri …
Celtic are interested in signing Kyle Edwards and Rekeem Harper on loan from West Bromwich Albion in the January transfer window, according to . 20-year-old midfielder Harper was close to joining Celtic in the summer of 2019, but the youngster decided to stay at the Baggies.
The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Celtic manager Neil Lennon personally scouted Harper in the Championship playoffs against Aston Villa and wants to add him to his squad at Celtic Park when the transfer window opens in January. Winger Edwards has fallen down the pecking order at The Hawthorns and is on the radar of the Hoops as well.
Celtic are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 34 points from 15 matches, as many as 16 points behind leaders and bitter Old Fi…
Brazil goalkeeper Ederson says the Selecao can only fulfil their World Cup dream if they have a victorious mentality over the coming weeks.
Tite s side are chasing a first success in football s most prestigious competition since 2002, with their campaign set to get underway on Thursday against Serbia in Group G.
Further challenges against Switzerland and Cameroon await them, as they look to end a two-decade wait at Qatar 2022, with many tagging them as the favourites.
But Manchester City stopper Ederson says any reputation will only be lived up to if they give it their all and keep their eyes on the prize.
We know how difficult it is, but we have a good team with total capacity of reaching the final and trying to win it, he told his club s official websi…
Mikel Arteta was praying Arsenal clung on as the Gunners held off a late Tottenham fightback to claim a 3-2 north London derby victory on Sunday.
Arsenal looked to be cruising at 3-0 up after a Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg own-goal put the Gunners ahead at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, before Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz extended the visitors lead.
However, a David Raya mistake allowed Cristian Romero to cut the deficit before a Son Heung-min penalty threw Arsenal s lead into further peril after Declan Rice brought down Ben Davies.
The Gunners held on, though, despite some late pressure, a period in which Arteta conceded he was fearing the worst.
I was praying, Arteta told reporters. It was a really emotional game.
3-0 up you re in control, and then an…
Bayer Leverkusen coach Sami Hyypia is demanding an improved performance when his side face Metalist in the Europa League on Thursday.
Leverkusen have made a slow start to the season, losing two of their three Bundesliga fixtures including a 3-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
Hyypia is aware that Metalist of Ukraine will pose a strong challenge and wants his side to lift their game, particularly in attack.
We played Metalist two years ago but the team has changed a bit since then, Hyypia said.
There are more South American players now. They did very well last season in the Europa League and I expect a difficult match tomorrow. All their players are technically very good. They re fast and quite strong so we need to play very well and compact. <…
Preston North End could turn to Jermaine Beckford as an impact substitute when they seek to spring a League Cup upset at home to Watford on Tuesday.
A former Premier League player with Everton, Beckford famously scored Leeds United s winner in an FA Cup third-round triumph over Manchester United in 2010.
And the striker may yet be tasked with delivering another knockout blow after returning from injury to make his first appearance of the campaign in Preston s 2-1 Championship defeat to Ipswich Town at the weekend.
North End boss Simon Grayson told the Lancashire Evening Post: Jermaine picked up a knee injury during the Motherwell game in pre-season.
We had to be careful that we did not bring him back too early. It s been disappointing that we have lo…
Jose Mourinho believes Manchester United s Premier League rivals would rather be in the Europa League final than scrapping over a top-four finish.
Mourinho s side must beat Ajax in Stockholm later this month to gain a Champions League berth for next season via victory in Europe s secondary club competition.
Defeat to Tottenham on Sunday ruled out the prospect of United finishing in the top four domestically, with Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal contesting the final two spots as the season enters its final week.
We, Manchester United, for us it is more important to win titles than to finish top four, Mourinho told reporters.
So if we can win a third title [including the Community Shield], or like you like to say a second title, if we can do that …
Pep Guardiola has warned his in-form Manchester City players he will not hesitate to drop them if complacency sets in.
Manchester United s 0-0 draw at Chelsea on Sunday left City 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League with the same number of games remaining.
Saturday s hard-fought 2-1 win over West Ham was a 20th consecutive victory in all competitions for Guardiola s side, who will defend their EFL Cup crown in next month s final against Tottenham.
They remain well-placed in the FA Cup and Champions League, but as talk of a slew of trophies begins to mount, Guardiola insisted he will not relent in his demands.
As much as we win and get results, we have to demand and be [all] over the players and say we can do better, he said ahead of Tuesday …
Oscar Pareja accepts Orlando City need to tweak their approach ahead of Wednesday s rematch with Florida rivals Inter Miami, who thrashed them 5-0 when the teams last met in early March.
Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez scored two goals apiece as Miami crushed Orlando in their third game of the season in Fort Lauderdale, one of their MLS-high eight wins in 2024.
Miami have won each of their last five games – the latest being a 3-2 triumph at CF Montreal on Saturday – to stay three points clear at the top of the Eastern Conference, while Orlando are languishing in 11th.
Pareja s team enter Wednesday s derby in good spirits after beating the Philadelphia Union 3-2 last time out, though, and he is relishing the quick turnaround.
This is a project where you…
