Guglielmo Vicario could be heading for the exit door at Tottenham as speculation intensifies regarding a cut-price return to Serie A. The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who has been a mainstay in north London since his arrival from Empoli in 2023, is reportedly open to the move following a disastrous run of form for the Premier League side. Spurs find themselves embroiled in an unlikely survival scrap, sitting just one point above the relegation zone after a series of damaging results.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his relief as midfield linchpin Rodri begins to rediscover his world-class form following an arduous 18-month battle with injury. The Spanish international, who secured City's first-ever Ballon d'Or triumph, has become a regular fixture in the starting XI again since January as the Premier League champions chase a historic quadruple.
Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney believes Marcus Rashford’s move to Barcelona has given him the reality check he desperately needed after what he described as a difficult period at Manchester United. The Watford legend claimed that the environment at the Spanish giants leaves little room for ego, insisting that "nobody gives a f*ck" about Rashford’s reputation when compared to the club’s historic stars. Deeney feels that harsh message has helped the 28-year-old rediscover his focus and thrive in La Liga.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has come out swinging in defence of his side’s Premier League credentials, insisting he is not panicking despite a difficult run of results. Speaking ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie against his former club Norwich City, the German coach struck a defiant tone regarding the club’s top-flight status. The Whites have endured a tough week following narrow defeats to Manchester City and Sunderland, but Farke remains steadfast in his belief that the quality is there to stay up.
Premier League legend Alan Shearer has pulled no punches in his assessment of Manchester United, labelling the club "so poor" despite their ascent to third in the table. The former England striker expressed total disbelief that Michael Carrick’s side are currently in pole position to secure Champions League football given the standard of their performances this season.
Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has praised Robert Sanchez for his reaction to being dropped for the win over Aston Villa, insisting that the goalkeeper was "really disappointed" with the decision. The Spaniard had a nervy and unconvincing performance in the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal, leading to him being benched and prompting fresh questions about his long-term suitability as the club's first-choice shot-stopper.
What's the cheapest way to watch as much Premier League football a season?
Currently, the most cost efficient package looks to be picking up a TV deal through Virgin Media or EE TV.
Existing TV or broadband customers can add TNT Sports to Virgin Media for £12 per month and Sky Sports for £31.75 per month, adding on Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
EE TV (formerly BT TV) also provide their Big Sport deal which includes TNT Sports and Sky Sports via NOW TV, for £45 per month, which is available for existing broadband customers, with the addition of Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
However, when it comes to bang for your buck, if you’re wanting to spend a little less, then the Complete Sky Sports package from an additional £22 per month on top of your current Sky TV deal is the best option, giving you over 128 games across a single season.
