And after keeping a clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Newcastle United on Boxing Day, Ferdinand has waxed lyrical about the Belgian.

Rodri has returned to the Manchester City matchday squad for the first time since featuring against Bournemouth at the beginning of November.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot used his pre-match programme notes to pay tribute to forward Diogo Jota as the striker's two former Premier League sides meet at Anfield on Saturday.

The Christmas period is upon us, which means we are somehow already more or less at the midway point of the 2025-26 football season. As many of Europe's leading leagues pause for the winter break, it's time to take stock and reflect on four scintillating months of action.

Liverpool are weighing up a bold six-month loan move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos following a devastating injury to Alexander Isak, which has left Arne Slot short in attack. With the Reds facing a crucial period of the season, the Premier League champions are exploring short-term solutions to maintain their title push while their record signing recovers.
