Manchester City continue the defence of their Premier League crown when they welcome Wolves to The Etihad on Saturday. The Citizens, who won the treble last term, currently sit a point behind leaders Arsenal but could find themselves four points adrift if the Gunners beat Bournemouth in the early kick-off on Saturday. City do, however, have a game-in-hand over Arsenal, and manager Pep Guardiola will therefore be hopeful that his side can win a record fourth consecutive Premier League title. Despite failing to retain the Champions League this season, City could still defend their FA Cup and Premier League crowns,…

Chelsea continued their good run of form on Thursday night with a comprehensive win over rivals Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have won four, drawn three and lost just one of their last eight matches in the Premier League. Only four teams are in better form over that period. Trevoh Chalobah scored his first goal of the season with a fine looping header in the first half, before Nicolas Jackson added a second, heading home after Cole Palmer’s free-kick had come back off the crossbar. And Chelsea were rarely threatened by their London rivals across 90 minutes. The Blues…

Chelsea took a huge step towards European qualification on Thursday night with an impressive victory against Tottenham. The Blues are now two points adrift of Newcastle United, who occupy seventh-place – a position that will see whoever finishes there qualify for next season’s Europa Conference League. In what was a crucial three points for Chelsea, it also allowed them to seriously dent arch rivals Spurs’ hopes of finishing in the top four this season. It was Chelsea’s first meeting with Tottenham at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League in 627 days. Twenty months had passed since Thomas Tuchel and Antonio…

Mauricio Pochettino has faced numerous Chelsea dilemmas this season with his latest solution to one of those significantly paying off. In late April, Enzo Fernandez confirmed he would miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to fix a hernia issue. As part of a midfield three, Fernandez has formed an impressive unit with Moises Caicedo and Conor Gallagher but now Pochettino had to look for a solution. Any one of Romeo Lavia, Carney Chukwuemeka and Lesley Ugochukwu filling that void looked unlikely with injury issues plaguing all three which forced Pochettino into an unlikely decision. Against Aston Villa…

Chelsea have made contact with a former manager in the last few days as Mauricio Pochettino looks “inclined” to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of this season, according to a new report. Chelsea’s very mixed season as pressure surrounds Pochettino The Blues could actually still qualify for the Europa Conference League this season after a few great results in recent months, but they’re also set to go trophyless despite spending over £400 million last summer. There have been a few success stories from Pochettino’s debut season, like the stellar form of Cole Palmer, but pressure has surrounded the manager’s…

Hansi Flick never offered himself to Liverpool Back when the vacancy for the Liverpool boss was still open, Hansi Flick was among those who saw himself linked with the move. However, it did not come to fruition. The Reds, since then, have acquired the services of Arne Slot as the Head Coach of the club. There’s more clarity now on why Flick never offered himself to the Liverpool job. At that point in time, there was a vacancy at Barcelona as well, following Xavi’s announcement of leaving the club at the end of this term. Flick turned his attention entirely…

. As you may have heard, I’ve made the tough decision to leave my current hockey team. It’s not a choice I’ve made lightly, but after a lot of thought and consideration, I believe it’s the right move for me. First off, I want to say that this decision has nothing to do with the fans or the city. I’ve felt nothing but love and support from all of you since day one, and I’m truly grateful for that. You’ve made my time here unforgettable, and I’ll always cherish the memories we’ve created together. So why am I leaving? Well,…

Mauricio Pochettino was asked in his press conference yesterday why two of his most important players were in full team training but not ready for action today. He explained that this was just a consequence of their recovery from injury, and of the cautious approach the club were taking. The training they did didn’t sound like full on sessions either. “They were training. [But] today, normally, we prepare the game for tomorrow. We did some set-pieces, tactical work, and meetings.” The implication being that this is small scale, match preparation stuff, not a full blooded midweek effort. But interestingly, he…

Ange Postecoglou is facing at least two team selection decisions for Thursday evening’s London derby against Chelsea. Spurs are fresh off losing the North London Derby at home to Arsenal after an embarrassing first half, which saw the hosts 3-0 down, that they were unable to recover from in the second period. Both Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min were on target to bring the Lilywhites back into the game, however it was too little too late. The defeat now means Spurs’ Champions League qualification hopes are out of their hands with Aston Villa seven points ahead having played two extra…

It is not helpful to overreact to a singular match — a derby, no less — but Sunday’s defeat felt all too familiar for all the wrong reasons. Tottenham Hotspur is a club with a bright future and some solid pieces, but ultimately this is a club that has real flaws and is clearly a tier below the league’s best. In some ways Spurs did everything needed to secure at least a point against Arsenal, but instead it was another frustrating defeat, fair or not. Though the clock is ticking, the quest for fourth place is technically not dead (seven…
