Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has confessed that his struggling team "missed" suspended midfielder Enzo Fernandez during their demoralising 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola has identified a meteorological factor as the secret behind Manchester City's habitual late-season surges.

Jamie Carragher has delivered a scathing assessment of Tottenham Hotspur’s survival hopes, labelling them "awful" following another major Premier League setback.

Is the coveted title slipping from the grasp of those who long for its return?

Unai Emery has provided an injury update on Emiliano Martinez after the Aston Villa goalkeeper was forced to withdraw from the starting line-up just moments before kick-off against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

The tournament is scheduled for next summer in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Manchester City are breathing down Arsenal's necks after a dominant second-half display propelled them to a 3-0 win at Chelsea to close the gap on the Gunners and leave the title race in their own hands.

Chelsea are now four points adrift of the Premier League's fifth and final Champions League spot after losing 3-0 at home to Manchester City on Sunday.

Roberto De Zerbi’s tenure as Tottenham Hotspur head coach began with a whimper as a deflected strike condemned his side to a 1-0 defeat at Sunderland.
