Liverpool have been dealt a blow in their attempts to sign Marc Guehi as Crystal Palace reportedly plan to sell the defender in January, amid interest from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The England international was on the verge of joining the Reds in the summer, only for the Eagles to pull the plug at the last minute as they struggled to sign a replacement in time.
Manchester United star Matthijs de Ligt revealed why the Red Devils have always held a special place in his heart, and it all traces back to two club icons, Cristiano Ronaldo and Edwin van der Sar. Long before he became one of Europe’s most sought-after defenders, De Ligt was just a football-obsessed kid in the Netherlands. He might have come through Ajax’s legendary academy, but beneath that red-and-white shirt, his footballing heart was always rooted for United.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has downplayed the impact of a proposed salary cap rule in the Premier League, saying England's top tier will "always be a strong league". The 20 clubs will vote on the new regulations next month. It is believed that City and their local rivals Manchester United are opposed to the idea, and are expected to go against the proposal.
Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner has confirmed that club captain Marc Guehi will not sign a new contract, and he will leave Selhurst Park next year. The 26 year-old's deal expires on June 30, 2026, when he can leave the Eagles on a free transfer. Many of Europe's elite clubs are interested, with Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona reportedly chasing him.
Marco Silva has rejected claims that Arsenal are suffering an injury crisis, using his pre-game Friday press conference ahead of his Fulham side's Premier League clash with the Gunners to highlight the strength of Mikel Arteta's squad. The Gunners will be without a bevy of attacking talent for the fixture, with Noni Madueke, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus all absent.
Thomas Frank revealed whether Tottenham will smash their transfer record after a £100 million ($135m) cash injection from the Lewis family. After months of fevered speculation about potential Saudi and American investors circling the north London club, the owners have now made it crystal clear that the club is not for sale. Instead, they are doubling down on their commitment to push Tottenham towards the Premier League summit, with head coach Frank now giving them hope of a new dawn.
A £60 million-plus Manchester United signing from Brazil would normally be guaranteed a place in the starting line-up in the biggest game of the season at Liverpool. And yet Matheus Cunha is most likely to spend the first part of Sunday’s visit to Anfield in the Premier League warming the bench due to the renaissance of another £60m man in Mason Mount.
Randal Kolo Muani is set to be in contention to make his Premier League debut for Tottenham Hotspur during Sunday's fixture against Aston Villa in north London, head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed. The French forward joined on loan from PSG on transfer deadline day but has been out injured since mid-September with a dead leg, meaning Spurs fans have yet to see what he can do for the club.
Coleen Rooney has taken a fresh swipe at her former friend Rebekah Vardy by cashing in on their infamous Wagatha Christie feud once again. The 39-year-old WAG stars in a new Paddy Power advert, reviving her viral catchphrase from the court case that captivated the nation — “It’s… Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
Jack Grealish still has a lot of work to do if a return to Manchester City is to become a reality, claims Sky Blues legend Sergio Aguero. Grealish has shone thus far in his loan spell at Everton, for which Aguero was full of praise for, but he branded any talk of a swift return to the Etihad as "premature" for the winger, who has yet to force his way back into the England squad under Thomas Tuchel.
Manchester United COO Collette Roche has outlined the profound impact which building a new stadium at Old Trafford would have not only on the football club but on the prosperity of the surrounding area and beyond. A 100,000-seater plan has been touted to replace the ageing Red Devils stadium, which would make it the biggest stadium in Europe, though slightly below Barcelona's expected 105,000-seater redeveloped Nou Camp.
Former Scotland midfielder Don Hutchison has urged Liverpool boss Arne Slot to drop summer signing Jeremie Frimpong, claiming the Dutchman’s performances have been far below the club’s standards. Hutchison believes Conor Bradley should now be given the chance to start at right-back, arguing that Frimpong’s form and confidence have dipped alarmingly since his arrival at Anfield.
Pep Guardiola has revealed he does not intend to take a break from management until 2035, in a witty response to former Manchester City colleague Carles Planchart's warning that the Catalan should step away from the Etihad and seek a new project to "regenerate". Guardiola emphasised in response that he still has the energy to lead the Cityzens into a new chapter, as his playing squad continues to change and develop.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has confirmed he spoke to Joe Willock after a bizarre viral story claimed the Magpies midfielder had been rescued from York Maze. The fake news — which started on social media before being repeated on BBC Radio One — became one of the strangest tales of the international break, prompting Howe to personally verify the truth with his player.
The gap between Liverpool and Manchester United is wider than it has ever been during the Premier League era and Alan Shearer has underlined this by only selecting one United player in a combined starting XI with their fierce Anfield rivals. The old foes face off on Sunday with Arne Slot’s side huge favourites to win the three points and the bragging rights for Liverpool fans.
Ange Postecoglou has riled up Nottingham Forest and rival fans by once again referencing his trophy record in defence of his poor start in charge at the City Ground. Forest are winless in seven games in all competitions since the Australian took the reins following Nuno Espirito Santo's sacking, a run that includes disappointing defeats to Swansea, Sunderland and Danish side Midtjylland.
Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini reportedly believes he could be in contention to replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United if the Portuguese coach is sacked. The 60-year-old Italian, who led City to their first Premier League title in 2012, is said to have told friends he would be open to a return to English football amid growing pressure on Amorim.
Ruben Amorim has urged Manchester United fans to calm their expectations of young goalkeeper Senne Lammens, after the 23-year-old shined on his Red Devils debut against Sunderland prior to the international break. The United head coach suggested that the Belgian has not yet earned comparisons with club legend shot-stoppers such as Peter Schmeichel, but that he showed "a lot of composure" and could start against Liverpool on Sunday.
Under-fire Forest manager Ange Postecoglou launched into a passionate defence of his managerial career and believes he will never be accepted in England, despite his track-record of winning trophies. Postecoglou goes into Saturday's clash with Chelsea knowing another defeat could cost him his job, just weeks after taking over from the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.
Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has welcomed the public backing he recently received from co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in spite of the team's ragged results this season. The Portuguese claimed he already felt supported by the club's hierarchy even after losing four of United's opening eight games in all competitions. And he revealed the person who puts him under the most pressure.
Bayern Munich have been told it would be a “must” to sign Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck if contract talks with Dayot Upamecano collapse. With the Frenchman’s future uncertain and Liverpool monitoring the situation, Lothar Matthaus believes the German international could be the ideal replacement one who already knows the Bundesliga inside out.
It's difficult to overstate Cole Palmer's importance to Chelsea, but it's probably reflected in how determined head coach Enzo Maresca has been to have him at his disposal this season despite a persistent, niggling groin injury. The Blues have now paid a significant price for that over-reliance on the 23-year-old, with the attacker - who has already been sidelined for close to a month - now ruled out until December, in a crushing blow to his club and his World Cup hopes.
Arne Slot has revealed Alexander Isak is fully fit again after his lack of pre-season, with the £125 million ($166.7m) striker now searching for his first Premier League goal for Liverpool. The Swedish striker might have forced his way out of Newcastle United in a messy transfer saga over the summer, but he is yet to shine since swapping St James' Park for Anfield.
