Garnacho to the rescue! Chelsea avoid Wrexham cupset

  1. Eze saves subpar Arsenal after massive Mansfield scare

    Arsenal just about did enough to edge past League One side Mansfield Town in the FA Cup fifth round, running out 2-1 winners on the road on Saturday. Mikel Arteta made several changes to his starting XI and initially lined them up in a 3-5-2 formation with wingers in lieu of wing-backs, which only emboldened their ambitious hosts. Nevertheless, goals in either half helped see the Gunners into the hat for the quarter-finals.

  2. Pio Esposito: Why Arsenal are tracking Inter's young star

    The Gazzetta dello Sport claimed earlier this week that Arsenal have expressed an interest in signing Inter prospect Francesco Pio Esposito. However, the Nerazzurri's CEO, Beppe Marotta, moved quickly to quell the transfer talk by insisting that there had not been any contact between the two clubs. "Arsenal did not ask for Pio," the Italian told Sport Mediaset before Inter's Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Como on Tuesday. "But also Inter are not a selling club. We don't make player trading our main activity.

  3. James runs riot as Bronze & Stanway seal Lionesses win

    Lauren James stole the show as England beat Iceland 2-0 on Saturday, with Lucy Bronze and Georgia Stanway on the scoresheet as the Lionesses started their 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying campaign with two wins from two. After the 6-1 win over Ukraine on Tuesday, this was another dominant performance from Sarina Wiegman's side, setting up next month's clash with world champions Spain perfectly.

  4. How Mbappe's deep connection with Paris inspired new boots

    Kylian Mbappe might have a strained relationship with Paris Saint-Germain as a result of his bitter exit from Parc des Princes in 2024, but the French capital - and especially the Bondy neighbourhood - will always hold a place close to his heart. Dropping his latest signature boots, Nike have recognised that deep connection between Mbappe and the streets he grew up on.

  5. Robertson & Rio send message to Slot in FA Cup cruise

    The recalled Andy Robertson was the star of the show with a goal and an assist as Liverpool went some way towards making amends for Tuesday's utterly embarrassing Premier League loss at Wolves. Indeed, the rematch was a far better experience for the Reds as they returned to Molineux on Friday evening to record a 3-1 win that secured Arne Slot's side a spot in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

  6. Valverde saves the day after Trent's defensive disaster

    Federico Valverde's lucky late winner papered over an otherwise disappointing performance from Real Madrid as they snuck past Celta Vigo with a 2-1 win. Los Blancos took the lead inside the first half, but conceded an equaliser shortly after. They seemed destined to settle for a point, but Valverde's winner - a heavily deflected strike in second-half stoppage time - gave them a vital win on the road.

  7. Spurs' future captain who could help their current crisis

    For a club the size of Tottenham, their academy hasn't produced too many successful graduates since the turn of the century. Of course, Harry Kane is the standout name and would be the shining example of any youth system, but beyond him, the pickings are slim. The full list of active alumni from the Spurs academy who went on to play for the first team is as follows: Kane, Harry Winks, Oliver Skipp, Kyle Walker-Peters, Andros Townsend, Troy Parrott, Nabil Bentaleb, Massimo Luongo, Maksim Paskotsi, Milos Veljkovic, Anthony Georgiou and Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Must-read opinion and expert analysis

  1. Lionesses World Cup squad: Who will make the cut in 2027?

    England's qualifying campaign for the 2027 Women's World Cup is officially underway. The Lionesses started it with a 6-1 win over Ukraine on Tuesday and will continue their quest to secure a place in Brazil when hosting Iceland on Saturday. As runners-up in 2023, few would not expect Sarina Wiegman's side to achieve as much, but who the manager will choose to represent the European champions in South America is a little less certain.

  1. 'Not here to give advice to Arteta!' - Guardiola snaps back at reporter

    A nonplussed Pep Guardiola dismissed a question from a reporter that related to Mikel Arteta chasing his first Premier League title as a manager, insisting that he had not attended his pre-match press conference to offer advice to the Arsenal boss. Manchester City face Leeds on Saturday evening as they look to close the gap at the top of the table to two points, with the Gunners not in action until Sunday, when they host Chelsea.

  2. 🎥 | The Late Run with Ochocinco debuts with Bert Kreischer

    Chad Ochocinco Johnson and Rahimovic sit down with comedy legend Bert Kreischer for a conversation that goes everywhere: soccer culture in Florida, Messi mania in Miami, the World Cup 2026 “last dance” talk, and the comedy Mount Rushmore. Bert retells The Machine origin story, breaks down what makes a great comedian, and somehow ends up pledging to become a real soccer fan.

This is the Premier League

  1. Why Wharton and Anderson could snub Man Utd

    Manchester United’s hopes of a midfield overhaul under a new coach have been hit by a stark reality check. The Red Devils have identified Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson as primary targets for the summer transfer window, but the pursuit of the Premier League duo is intrinsically linked to the club’s ability to secure a seat at Europe’s top table next season.

  2. Gravenberch signs long-term Liverpool deal

    Liverpool have secured the long-term future of Ryan Gravenberch, with the Dutch international midfielder putting pen to paper on a new contract at Anfield. The former Bayern Munich star has become a pillar of the Reds' midfield since his arrival on Merseyside, and this latest agreement ensures he will remain a key figure in the club's ambitious project for years to come. The deal was finalised on Saturday, rewarding the 23-year-old for his stellar form under fellow countryman Arne Slot.

Transfer news and done deals 🤝

  1. Brandt to leave Dortmund on free transfer

    Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that Julian Brandt will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the current season. The 29-year-old playmaker, who has been a central figure at the Signal Iduna Park for nearly a decade, will see his contract expire this summer without a renewal. The news marks the end of a significant chapter for the Bundesliga giants as they prepare for a summer of transition under their current leadership.

  2. Klopp agent responds to Real Madrid links

    The future of Jurgen Klopp has once again become the subject of intense speculation as reports suggest the former Liverpool boss is eyeing a sensational return to the touchline. Despite recently taking up a high-profile boardroom role within the Red Bull empire, rumors have circulated in Spain that the Champions League-winning coach is high on the shortlist for both Madrid giants as they consider their long-term managerial options.

Queens of football 👑

  1. Bronze 'mind-blown' by Lionesses milestone

    Lucy Bronze continues to cement her legacy as one of the greatest players to ever pull on an England shirt, but the veteran defender remains humble about her remarkable longevity. During the Lionesses' 2-0 victory over Iceland, the 34-year-old earned her 145th international cap, moving her into third place on the all-time appearances list for the women’s national team. It was a vintage performance from the full-back, who contributed both a goal and an assist to secure the win.

Superstars of the future

  1. Ex-Madrid forward's son earning interest from Europe's elite

    Robinho Jr only turned 18 in December, but he has already broken into the senior team at Santos, where he is now rubbing shoulders with Brazil's all-time record goal-scorer, Neymar. The teenager is already attracting transfer interest from a host of top European clubs, partly because of his ability, but also due to the footballing legacy of his father.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

The Chaaaaaampions 🎶

  1. Real Madrid hit by Carreras injury blow ahead of Man City clash

    Real Madrid’s preparations for their blockbuster Champions League showdown against Manchester City have been thrown into further disarray. While the club were already reeling from the confirmed absences of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe, a fresh injury concern surrounding left-back Alvaro Carreras has left manager Alvaro Arbeloa facing a defensive headache. The Spaniard is now a major doubt for the first leg after picking up a heavy blow to his left calf during domestic action.

  2. Neuer injured again! Bayern learn extent of new setback

    Bayern Munich have been dealt a significant blow ahead of the business end of the season with the news that captain Manuel Neuer is set for a spell on the sidelines. The veteran goalkeeper suffered a calf injury during Friday night's 4-1 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach, leaving the Bavarian giants without their undisputed number one for several high-profile encounters.

  3. 'I give up' - Guardiola left fuming by fixture scheduling

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has launched a scathing assessment of English football's scheduling, claiming that domestic cup competitions are held in higher regard than European success. The City boss is frustrated that his side must face Newcastle United in an FA Cup fifth-round tie at 8pm (GMT) on Saturday, leaving them with minimal recovery time before travelling to face Real Madrid on Wednesday.

  4. Harry Kane

    Kompany delivers uncertain Kane injury update

    Bayern Munich face a nervous wait over the fitness of Harry Kane ahead of their Champions League knockout tie against Atalanta. The England captain missed Friday's Bundesliga clash against Borussia Monchengladbach, and manager Vincent Kompany has offered a cryptic update on his availability.
