Pep Guardiola has been sensationally tipped to leave Manchester City in the coming week, but if he doesn't, the Spaniard will "definitely" depart this summer. The former Barcelona boss cut a glum figure after his City side were well beaten in the Manchester derby on Saturday. Now, pundit Richard Keys thinks Guardiola will move on from the Etihad before their next Premier League match.

Wayne Rooney has revealed there are only two teams he would return to management for after his spells at EFL clubs Birmingham City and Plymouth. The former Manchester United and England striker has struggled for success in his coaching career so far, being sacked early on during his two most recent roles. However, he has not ruled out a return to the dugout if two certain clubs come calling.

Alisha Lehmann has been linked with a return to the Women's Super League, just over 18 months after she left for Italy. The Swiss international ended a three-year stint at Aston Villa in mid-2024 before signing for Juventus with then-boyfriend Douglas Luiz. Last summer, she made the switch to Como after struggling for game time, and now Lehmann could be coming back to English football.

Chelsea supporters staged a mass protest at Stamford Bridge, demanding the return of previous owner Roman Abramovich and the reinstatement of recently-sacked boss Enzo Maresca. Chants of "BlueCo Out!" and "We want Roman back!" echoed around the ground in a direct challenge to the club's American owners. A recent string of poor results pushed hundreds of fans, organised by a group called "Not a Project CFC", to share their anger.

Wrexham lost ground in the race for the Championship play-offs with a disappointing 2-1 home loss against Norwich City. The Canaries flew out of the traps and took the lead through Ben Slimane. Sam Smith cancelled out their opener not long after with his third league goal in as many games but Jovon Makama restored the away side's advantage. Despite some late pressure, the Welsh side couldn't find a way through as their unbeaten run ended.

Liverpool were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Burnley after Dominik Szoboszlai missed a penalty in a match where Arne Slot’s side squandered countless opportunities. Florian Wirtz fired the Reds in front, but it was a brilliantly taken strike from Marcus Edwards that earned the second bottom side a precious point.

Liam Rosenior's first Premier League game in charge of Chelsea ended in victory against Brentford, largely thanks to the heroics of the club's much-maligned Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. The 28-year-old made a massive save to deny Kevin Schade what looked a certain equaliser in the second half, with Cole Palmer adding to Joao Pedro's first-half thunderbolt to secure a somewhat unconvincing 2-0 win for the Blues.

Long-time U.S. Women’s National Team midfielder Rose Lavelle has been voted U.S. Soccer Female Player of the Year after a year packed with adversity.

James McClean is reportedly set to leave Wrexham and return to his homeland by joining Northern Irish side Derry City. The Red Dragons captain, who has played a key role in the club’s remarkable rise from non-league football to the Championship under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, recently served a three-game ban for violent conduct following an incident against Swansea City in the Welsh derby.

Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham were booed by a section of Real Madrid fans before and during their clash with Levante. Following Xabi Alonso's sacking and Los Blancos' Copa del Rey humiliation at the hands of second-tier side Albacete, the Santiago Bernabeu faithful turned their ire towards the attacking duo and club president Florentino Perez.

Real Madrid turned an unconvincing first half into a clinical second, with Kylian Mbappe leading the charge as they saw off Levante, 2-0. Los Blancos were initially languid under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa, but clicked into gear once the deadlock was broken, and were ultimately good value for the victory - even if some questions about individuals remain.

Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes starred as Manchester United pulled off a wholly unexpected 2-0 win over Manchester City in a euphoric return to the Red Devils' dugout for Michael Carrick. United made a blistering start and scored two offside goals in a convincing first half. After the break, they continued where they left off and deservedly won the game thanks to strikes from Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu.

Manchester City ceded more ground in the Premier League title race as they went down with a whimper in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to local rivals Manchester United. Erling Haaland failed to lay a glove on the home side's defence, while an inspired Gianluigi Donnarumma kept the scoreline respectable. This was one of City's worst performances of the season, with Pep Guardiola's side left hoping that leaders Arsenal will slip up at Nottingham Forest later in the day.

Defending champions Chelsea opened up their Women’s FA Cup campaign with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday. The free-scoring Blues booked their place in the fifth round thanks to a brace from Sam Kerr and goals from Millie Bright, Guro Reiten and Alyssa Thompson, with Sonia Bompastor's side a class above their WSL 2 opponents at Kingsmeadow.
