The latest injury news from the Magpies contenders for a place in European competition. Newcastle United head into the final week of the Premier League season still firmly in contention for a place in Europe. Despite battling with a seemingly never-ending list of injuries, Eddie Howe’s men sit in sixth place ahead of Saturday’s final home game of the campaign against Brighton and Hove Albion. The Magpies have received some positive news on the injury front in recent weeks after the likes of Joelinton, Nick Pope and Miguel Almiron returned to contention and they could be joined by Kieran Trippier…

Chelsea are back in action once again in the Premier League this weekend as they travel away from London to take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The Blues have three more games left to play in the division before the end of the 2023/24 campaign, and they are hoping to seal a place in either the Europa Conference League or the Europa League for next term. Mauricio Pochettino’s side did not have any European football to contend with this season but are currently sat in seventh place and only two points behind Newcastle United in sixth place. This…

Manchester City will be looking to break an all-time English football record when they travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime. The Citizens have strengthened their pursuit of an unprecedented fourth consecutive title after putting together an impressive 20-game unbeaten run in the top flight, including 16 wins and four draws. Since playing out a goalless draw with title rivals Arsenal, Man City have won each of their last six league fixtures, scoring 24 goals and conceding only five in the process. Pep Guardiola’s side followed up a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest…

Manchester City are closing in on a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title. Pep Guardiola’s side will be crowned champions again if they win their remaining three league fixtures, starting on Saturday afternoon at Fulham. City will reclaim top spot from Arsenal this weekend if they secure all three points in West London ahead of the Gunners’ trip to Manchester United on Sunday. And Guardiola has been boosted by having a full squad to choose from at Craven Cottage, with no injury concerns going into Saturday’s game. The champions will also be brimming with confidence after thrashing Wolves 5-1 at…

One of the issues facing Arne Slot – if as expected it is the Dutchman who takes over from Jurgen Klopp in the Liverpool dugout – is what he does with some of the club’s long-serving but ageing talents? Does he stand in Mo Salah‘s way, should the ‘Egyptian King’ opt to defect his throne and move into a new palace in Saudi Arabia? Does Slot feel that Andy Robertson, a veteran of so many trophies, should remain Liverpool’s first-choice left-back after an injury-hit campaign? As for Virgil van Dijk, while the Dutchman is as totemic as ever, is it…

Adam Bogdan has recalled a “class” gesture from Jurgen Klopp which softened the blow of being made third-choice keeper. The Hungarian joined Liverpool from Bolton Wanderers in 2015, just before Klopp took over at Anfield. Prior to the German’s arrival, Bogdan had a memorable performance, saving three penalties in a Carabao Cup shootout win against Carlisle. Following Klopp’s appointment, he was disappointingly dropped down keepers’ pecking order. But Bogdan holds no grudges and fondly recalls a kind gesture from Klopp that he will never forget. “Danny Ward came back to the club in January 2016, a couple of months after…

Andy Robertson and Diogo Jota were both absent from training on Friday as Liverpool continued their preparations ahead of Monday’s clash with Aston Villa. The Portuguese has been absent since suffering an injury in the Reds’ 3-1 victory away at Fulham last month. Again missing from training, he looks set to miss the trip to Villa Park, and perhaps faces a race against time to be fit for Jurgen Klopp’s final match as Liverpool manager against Wolves next weekend. Meanwhile, Robertson was not spotted in the latest training pictures at the AXA Training Centre. However, the Scot was seen in…

Chelsea will be looking to turn their recent back-to-back wins against Tottenham and West Ham United into some form of momentum on Saturday evening. The Blues go head-to-head with Nottingham Forest this weekend in what is their third-last game of the Premier League season. As it stands, Chelsea sit in seventh-place and are in a strong position to return to European football after being absent this term. A 2-0 win against Spurs recently was followed up – just three days later – with a 5-0 thumping of the Hammers. Mauricio Pochettino was understandably delighted after both and believes his side…

Chelsea will be determined to extend their winning streak when they return to action this weekend. Nottingham Forest will welcome Mauricio Pochettino’s side to the City Ground on Saturday afternoon as either side hopes to climb the Premier League table. The Blues are currently seventh after Manchester United were thrashed by Crystal Palace on Monday evening. Meanwhile, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are just three points adrift of the drop zone. A win over Chelsea could cement Nottingham Forest’s place in the English top flight next term, depending on how Luton Town fare against West Ham. In other news, the summer…

Mauricio Pochettino is hoping to continue welcoming back Chelsea players for the end of the season as his team now chase qualification for the Europa League. The Blues have put it almost entirely in their own hands to secure some form of European football despite months of mid-table struggles. A run of “two-and-a-half games” of “beautiful football” against Aston Villa, Tottenham, and West Ham, has left the club on the brink of meeting minimum expectations from the owners. Just weeks on from being demolished 5-0 at the hands of Arsenal and Pochettino’s future at the club being widely questioned, things…
