Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spoke about the improvement that he has seen around the club recently Pep Guardiola singled out Kyle Walker as he praised the recent shift in behaviour that has seen improved training sessions at Manchester City. Walker has been one of the many experienced professionals that has seen less game time since the World Cup, with youngster Rico Lewis trusted in the right-back spot on many occasions instead. The England international has had to be patient but while fellow full-back Joao Cancelo found an opportunity to leave for Bayern Munich instead, Walker is back in the City team. Walker started…

Manchester City supporters have now added the Premier League to their lengthening list of enemies. To think it was once just Manchester United that the blue half of town used to get wound up about. Here, at a particularly energetic and atmospheric Etihad Stadium, the League’s decision to charge City with breaking their financial regulations saw the pre-match anthem booed and whistled with a ferocity usually reserved for the UEFA equivalent on Champions League nights. How delicious for City, then, that Pep Guardiola’s team are now one victory away from going back on top of the table for the first…

Chelsea have splashed the cash under new co-owner Todd Boehly in the transfer market. Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has been warned that he has handed Blues boss Graham Potter a “draining” problem following his big spending spree since taking over at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Fernandez joined on transfer deadline day as a British transfer record signing at £107million, taking the club’s spending under Boehly and co to over £500m. Fernandez became the eighth January signing at Chelsea after Mykhaylo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Noni Madueke, Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos and David Datro Fofana, while deals have been tied up for Christopher Nkunku and Malo…

Chelsea star Thiago Silva fell victim to a hilarious prank as he went to shake a West Ham mascot’s hand in the tunnel – but the Blues captain saw the funny side of the youngster’s trickery Chelsea captain Thiago Silva saw the funny side after he was cheekily tricked by a West Ham mascot. Silva was lining up along with his Blues team-mates, side by side with the Hammers squad in the tunnel as they prepared to do battle at the London Stadium. And the 38-year-old fell victim to a hilarious prank by one of the east London side’s mascots ahead of the tie. The…

Chelsea could reportedly be forced to make a decision on Mason Mount’s future in the summer with the club yet to make a breakthrough in contract talks with the midfielder. Mount has 18 months left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge and has declined the club’s latest offer. Talks with Mount were halted after the 24-year-old rejected an offer feeling it left him below what other senior players and new signings are earning at Stanford Bridge. The England international reportedly wants to treble his £80,000-a-week wages but the club are offering significantly less than they are paying expensive recruits. According to the Telegraph ‘some…

raham Potter has argued that Chelsea’s performance in the draw against West Ham on Saturday was a “step forward” compared to previous recent games. The Blues went into this weekend’s clash three games unbeaten in the Premier League. But on this run, they only scored one goal and had goalless draws against Liverpool and Fulham. January signings Benoit Badiashile, Enzo Fernandes, Noni Madueke, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Joao Felix all started against the Hammers at the London Stadium. Chelsea were excellent in patches and Felix scored his first goal for the club as he broke the deadlock. They were not in front…

Alejandro Garnacho netted Manchester United’s crucial second goal as they secured an important victory away to Leeds in Sunday’s action – delighting boss Erik ten Hag Erik ten Hag was unable to hide his delight with Alejandro Garnacho as the teenager netted the second goal in Manchester United ’s two-goal victory at Leeds. Garnacho produced a superbly timed run and finish to wrap up the points for Ten Hag’s side with five minutes remaining at Elland Road. The game had been meandering towards a scoreless draw before Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock in the 80 th minute. Rashford headed home expertly from Luke Shaw ’s cross and that opened…

Erik ten Hag hailed Marcus Rashford as one of the best goal scorers in Europe and warned Manchester United’s in-form striker not to get lazy if he wants to keep up his remarkable form. The England international broke the deadlock in United’s 2-0 win over Leeds at Elland Road with his 13th goal in 15 games since returning from the World Cup. It’s the best record of any player across Europe’s top leagues, and Ten Hag agreed that the 25-year-old is among the best on the continent. ‘He’s definitely one of them,’ said the United boss. ‘I was convinced from the first moment, I was…

They had built a wall of sound at Elland Road and the volume had barely dropped, every minute full of fury, loathing, visceral roars and taunts. There were screams of approbation when tackles flew in and jeers of derision when a Manchester United player was hurt. The noise and intensity were relentless. For Erik ten Hag and his team this was football as a test of character. This was trial by hostility. Then, 10 minutes from the end, the noise, fury and hope ceased. The ball hung in the air from Luke Shaw’s superb cross from the left and the…

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has insisted he still has a role to play at the club after the win over Leeds. The 29-year-old defender made just his fifth Premier League start of the season as United continued their good form at Elland Road. And Maguire says despite his lack of playing time, the team comes first after picking up three points in a ‘tough place’. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: ‘Winning the game is the most important, I’m captain of the team and I put the team miles before myself. ‘Whether I’m playing or not I want the team to win and be successful…

Cody Gakpo has been speaking his move to Liverpool and how close he came to joining Manchester United going into Monday’s Merseyside derby with Everton Cody Gakpo has admitted he spoke to Ruud van Nistelrooy about a transfer to Manchester United before completing his move to Liverpool in January. Gakpo joined the Reds for an initial £37m from PSV Eindhoven last month having shone at the World Cup for the Netherlands off the back of a prolific 18 months for the Eredivisie side. However, he had previously looked set to move to Old Trafford following interest last summer. With Red…

Pep Guardiola anticipates a big welcome for his besieged club at the Etihad as he says the Premier League will never be able to take away the trophies Manchester City have won. City face Aston Villa today in their first game since being charged with breaching financial rules between 2009 and 2018. They could face a number of punishments if found guilty, including being stripped of their six Premier League titles, four of which have been won under Guardiola. Such a measure would be meaningless according to Guardiola, who says his club’s achievements cannot be removed by rule-makers. ‘Those moments belong to us regardless of…

Manchester United missed out on moving to within five points of Premier League leaders Arsenal with their 2-2 draw against Leeds. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag may be questioning the club’s transfer tactics after being left with limited options in their disappointing home draw to Leeds on Wednesday night. Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst were the only first-team signings throughout the January transfer window with Jack Butland coming in as the third-choice goalkeeper. Prior to the transfer window opening, United were being strongly linked with a big-name striker following Cristiano Ronaldo’s acrimonious exit. Ten Hag had managed earlier in…

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has already hinted at the shock reason why a remarkable transfer to Manchester United failed to materialise earlier this season It’s been far from straightforward for Erling Haaland since his blockbuster move to the Premier League in the summer. Despite the fact that the 22-year-old has plundered 25 league goals in just 20 matches for Manchester City this term, the Norwegian forward’s contributions have been scrutinised in recent weeks – with Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher even suggesting that he had “picked the wrong club” after his ineffective display against Tottenham last Sunday. There is no suggestion that anybody at Manchester City agrees with that stance, though:…

Scarlett Johansson never fails to hypnotise us with her beauty and style statements, like this throwback picture from one of her photoshoots. Marvel’s Black Widow is surely a deadly assassin, and we would not mind getting killed at her hands.

Amber Heard & Scarlett Johansson once both wore a black dress that flaunted their curves and had a crisscross back Several celebrities have often worn the same or similar outfits on different occasions. Amber Heard and Scarlet Johansson, the blonde bombshells of Hollywood, have had many moments where they have worn matching outfits. Though people have pointed out how it is the Aquaman actress who seems to take inspiration from Scarlett. Both the Hollywood beauties have wowed fans through their red carpet looks. They have been daring and tried out various styles. The Jojo Rabbit actress has made her mark through her…

Australian actress Margot Robbie has revealed the strangest place she has h*d s*x is on a jet-ski. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star made the revelation in an interview with The Sun on Sunday, also revealing she hates being asked when she is going to have children, how she enjoys reading Harry Potter in bed, and how she unwinds after a hard day’s filming by enjoying a beer in the shower. Robbie was asked where was the strangest place she had made love. The 29-year-old responded: “On a jet-ski. A non-moving jet-ski, but in the water.” The Aussie star has…

Following the heavy 3-0 defeat to Wolves last weekend, Jürgen Klopp give his players two days off to recuperate. He explained his reasons ahead of the Merseyside derby. Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has revealed why he gave his players two days off this week in the aftermath of the 3-0 defeat to Wolves. The Reds were pummeled by the Midlands side at Molineux, and Klopp took the rare — and some would argue brave — decision to hand his players a two-day break following the defeat. Asked why he would give his players the break following a defeat of that magnitude, Klopp outlined his reasons…

Pep Guardiola launched an extraordinarily defiant defence of Manchester City in the wake of an unprecedented number of Premier League charges for alleged financial breaches. City could lie eight points behind Arsenal by the time they host Aston Villa on Sunday but the title race took a back seat as Guardiola spoke for the first time since the champions were charged with more than 100 offences. The 52-year-old has history of fiercely backing City to the hilt and nobody was safe from his ire on Friday. During an emotional 20-minute press conference, Guardiola: Accused the other 19 Premier League clubs…

Ben Chilwell could be on his way to join Manchester City in the summer after Pep Guardiola identified him as a replacement for out-of-favour Joao Cancelo. Chelsea defender Chilwell has endured another injury-hit season at Stamford Bridge and has only just recovered from a hamstring problem. The 26-year-old has been on the periphery of Chelsea’s squad under Graham Potter, becoming one of a large number of players finding themselves on the treatment table and on the bench since returning to fitness. Guardiola and City may try to lure the left-back away from London at the end of the season in a bid to strengthen…

Manchester City successfully appealed their two-year Champions League ban in July 2020 – but only after numerous Premier League rivals attempted to have them chucked out Pep Guardiola called out the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United as he named the nine teams that attempted to have Manchester City thrown out of the Champions League three years ago. City successfully appealed a two-year ban from European competition in 2020 after taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Guardiola’s side had been slapped with the ban after an independent panel of UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body found them guilty of overstating sponsorship revenue between 2012 and 2016. City were also…

Chelsea are back in action on Saturday afternoon as they travel to West Ham United looking to end a run of two goalless draws. Graham Potter’s side have been lacking creativity in their attacking play and were unable to get three points from a well-disciplined Fulham side, or Liverpool the weekend before. However, the Blues could field an exciting new-look front three with Joao Felix expected to return to the squad after being sent off on his debut. If the Portuguese star is combined with new boys Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke – with Kai Havertz potentially dropping out – the threatening line-up has the…

Not for the first time, Hernan Crespo is smiling broadly and Enzo Fernandez is central to why. ‘He made me happy in December so, so much with [winning] the World Cup,’ Argentinian Crespo said. ‘Now it is a second happiness he has given me in a short time because he joined Chelsea. I’m very happy, very proud for him because he is a very, very good guy.’ Crespo is invested in the progress of Chelsea’s £105m January signing Fernandez, 22, so things could hardly have worked out much better than his countryman joining his former club. His fondness for Chelsea almost 15 years after he…
