We’ve reached that point in the season where many teams need to take risks if they’re to reach their targets. Is now the right time to bet on goals?

The Football Association has officially handed out punishments to both Chelsea and West Ham United following an aggressive multi-player confrontation during their recent Premier League London derby. Tensions reached a breaking point at Stamford Bridge in a match that was already high on intensity, leading to scenes that the governing body deemed a bridge too far for professional conduct. The incident has resulted in significant financial hits for both capital clubs as the FA looks to crack down on mass confrontations.

Here’s how you catch the Hammers in live action this season

Liverpool cult hero Emile Heskey believes that USMNT star Christian Pulisic could be a useful replacement for Mohamed Salah at Anfield. The American forward boasts Premier League experience from a stint at Chelsea and has starred in Italy for AC Milan. A return to England is being speculated on, with another winger potentially being required on Merseyside.

If they didn't know it beforehand, then Sunday's north London derby seemingly confirmed one thing for those watching on as Tottenham succumbed to Arsenal: Spurs are in a relegation battle. Igor Tudor was supposed to deliver a new-manager bounce after replacing Thomas Frank, but his side looked severely lacking in quality and, perhaps more importantly, belief as they went down 4-1 to the Gunners to leave themselves just four points above the drop zone with 11 matches to play.

Manchester United have been warned off a stunning transfer swoop for Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior. The Brazil international has been making headlines again of late and former Red Devils defender Paul Parker considers the South American to be a “rage baiter”. He is not convinced that Jarrod Bowen should be taken to Old Trafford either, but would like to see a deal done for Aston Villa playmaker Morgan Rogers.

There are three Premier League games this weekend where each outcome on the 1X2 market is priced at even odds or above. We examine how to bet on them.

Axel Disasi has admitted he need to lean on the support of his family after being exiled to Chelsea's 'bomb squad' during his time at Stamford Bridge. The French defender secured a move to West Ham United on loan for the rest of the 2025-26 season at the end of the winter transfer window, giving himself the opportunity to play Premier League football again after being frozen out in west London.

Liverpool have been urged to consider a move for West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen if they decide to move on from Mohamed Salah in the near future. The 'Egyptian King' has a contract at Anfield running until 2027 but he has been tipped to leave this summer while the club can still extract a transfer fee for him.
