Slot on the brink: Top-five hopes hanging by a thread

  1. Frank's gone - but Spurs need more changes to avoid the drop

    Tottenham Hotspur sit 16th in the Premier League table. They are only five points clear of the relegation zone. Zero wins from nine domestic games in 2026. Their next match is against north-London neighbours Arsenal, the Premier League champions-elect whom Spurs have beaten just once in their last 10 meetings. And yet, until Wednesday morning, there seemed to be very little alarm around the club that this is a season that could very well end in disaster.

  2. Bernardo back to his best as summer exit from City nears

    There is no shortage of ways to describe Bernardo Silva. A daring dribbler; a sleek passer; a relentless presser; the engine of Manchester City’s field, as well as its brain. But Erling Haaland managed to sum up the City captain's attitude in brilliantly simple terms after master-minding their stunning comeback win against Liverpool: 'Let’s have it!'

  3. Ranked: Frank's potential Tottenham successors

    Thomas Frank is gone! The morning after a terrible night before, Tottenham Hotspur announced that the Dane had been relieved of his duties as head coach - to nobody's great surprise. Tuesday evening's 2-1 loss at home to fellow underperformers Newcastle extended Tottenham's winless run in the Premier League to eight games - a rotten run of results that has seen them plummet to 16th in the standings.

  4. January transfers have made Man Utd a UWCL threat

    Manchester United simply had to act in the January transfer window. The Red Devils had enjoyed a wonderful start to the 2025-26 season, most notably qualifying for the Women's Champions League proper for the first time and then going one further by putting themselves in this month's knockout rounds. But if they wanted to be competitive against Europe's best, and at the sharp end of domestic competitions, they needed more in the squad - and that's the approach United took.

  5. Chelsea blow it! Palmer magic undone by defensive disasterclass

    Chelsea failed to win a Premier League match under Liam Rosenior for the first time as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Leeds United on Tuesday. The Blues were comfortably the better team for much of the contest and even led by two goals in the second half, but a series of defensive errors saw them throw away a victory which would have massively boosted their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.

  2. 'Just shut up about Arsenal!' - How Frank angered Spurs players

    Thomas Frank has been sacked as manager of Tottenham after just eight months in charge of the north London club. The Dane leaves after overseeing a run of just two wins from Tottenham's last 17 games and with the team being dragged into a relegation scrap. Frank's departure comes as little surprise, and it has now been claimed that he angered Spurs players with his constant references to bitter rivals Arsenal.

  3. Tottenham SACK Frank after dismal eight-game winless run

    Tottenham have taken the decision to sack manager Thomas Frank after a dismal run of eight games without a win. The Dane only took charge of the team in the summer but has overseen a dreadful campaign in the Premier League. Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle saw Spurs booed off the pitch again by supporters and leaves the team just five points above the relegation zone.

Queens of football 👑

  1. Mead ruled out of Arsenal's crucial Champions League clash

    England star Beth Mead will miss the first leg of Arsenal's crucial Champions League play-off clash with OH Leuven on Wednesday night in one of two big absences for the Gunners. The Lionesses forward was seen in a protective boot after victory over Manchester City on Sunday and the concerns that raised amongst fans have now been justified, with her missing out on Arsenal's trip to Belgium.

  2. Aluko accuses Woods of 'gaslighting' as public row escalates

    The public war of words between Eni Aluko and Laura Woods has continued, with the former England international hitting back at the ITV and TNT Sports presenter. Aluko has recently said her path towards punditry roles in the women's game has been blocked by England and Arsenal legend Ian Wright, leading to Woods quipping that "caps don't win automatic work". Now, Aluko has claimed Woods' comments have left her feeling "gaslit".

  3. Aluko aims ANOTHER dig at Wright over Lionesses pundit selection

    Eni Aluko has renewed her public criticism of the choice of male pundits in women's football, aiming a dig towards Ian Wright and Nedum Onuoha for their TV roles covering the Lionesses' Euro 2025 final at ITV and the BBC, respectively. This is not the first time that Aluko has called out a perceived lack of opportunities for female pundits, criticising Wright in the past for his prominent place within the women's game before issuing a public apology for her words.

Superstars of the future

  1. Why Italy are desperate to cap Atalanta's new wonderkid

    Honest Ahanor is just 17 years old - and yet on Sunday he started his fifth successive game for Atalanta, against Como. Unfortunately, Ahanor's afternoon came to an abrupt end - and quite literally by his own hand. Just eight minutes into the game at Sinigaglia, the defender was involved in an innocuous, off-the-ball clash with Maxi Perrone, who shamelessly collapsed to the ground as if Ahanor had struck him in the face.

  2. Why Chelsea fought off Man Utd & Liverpool to sign teen Alao

    Another transfer window and another highly-rated prospect is on their way to Chelsea. The club's youth policy has struck again, with the west Londoners landing 17-year-old full-back Yisa Alao from financially troubled Sheffield Wednesday. Despite his very limited experience at senior level, the teenager provoked a transfer tug-of-war between three Premier League giants, but it is the Blues who have emerged victorious.
