Guardiola talks complete nonsense in strange ‘handsome’ rant about himself and Liverpool -Empire of the Kop Pep Guardiola takes aim at Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher after Sky Sports duo suggested that Kevin De Bruyne wasn’t starting games due to a rift with the Man City boss -Daily Mail
An enormous midweek of Premier League football kicks off on Tuesday with four teams desperate to claw their way out of trouble at the wrong end of the table. Leicester entertain West Ham and Ipswich play host to Crystal Palace with just six points covering the four clubs – from West Ham in 14th to second-bottom Ipswich. The Foxes were truly awful in their 4-1 defeat at Brentford on Saturday in front of new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy who was watching, no doubt aghast, from the stands. West Ham then plunged their often sloppy defending to new depths when they…

Gary Neville believes Nicolas Jackson has changed Chelsea’s transfer plans following his impressive run of form. Jackson was heavily scrutinised during his first season at Stamford Bridge despite contributing 17 goals in all competitions. A number of pundits criticised Jackson’s somewhat erratic finishing and suggested Chelsea needed to sign a new striker to replace the Senegal striker. Neville was among those to urge Chelsea to dip into the market and use Jackson as a back-up striker, but says the 23-year-old’s form this season has changed his mind. Jackson scored his eighth Premier League goal of the season on Sunday to…
Alan Shearer singled out ‘absolutely fantastic’ Amad Diallo for praise after Manchester United thumped Everton to hand new boss Ruben Amorim his first Premier League victory. United could only draw 1-1 with newly-promoted Ipswich Town in Amorim’s first game in charge but put four past struggling Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring on 34 minutes before Joshua Zirkzee doubled Manchester United’s advantage just before half-time. Rashford scored his third goal in two Premier League games under Amorim just after the break before Zirkzee added United’s fourth on the hour mark. Two of the goals came…
Manchester United legend Gary Neville says Pep Guardiola made two costly mistakes with his team selection against Liverpool. Manchester City, the defending Premier League champions, were beaten 2-0 by table-topping Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. The Reds now have a commanding 11-point lead over City, with just 13 matches played. Guardiola was clearly irked during the match and responded to chants of: ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’ from Liverpool fans by putting up six fingers, in reference to the amount of Premier League titles he’s won. But Neville says the Spaniard contributed to City’s defeat with his team selection…
Gary Neville says it is ‘clear’ that ‘something has gone on’ between Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian was once again benched as City lost further ground in the title race with a 2-0 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. De Bruyne has suffered an injury-hit campaign but he returned from injury in mid-November. Despite City’s poor run of form that’s seen them go seven matches without a win, De Bruyne has not been reinstated to the starting XI. In defeats to Liverpool and Spurs in the last week, De Bruyne has emerged…
Phil Jones has claimed that Anthony Martial was ‘always late’ for training and team meetings at Manchester United – and it appears his former team-mate wasn’t overly ‘bothered’ about the repercussions. Having retired from the game earlier this year, Jones, 32, has dipped his toes into the world of football punditry and has made no secret of his plans to move into coaching in the future. The former England defender was plagued by injury problems for much of his playing career but still managed to get his hands on five pieces of silverware at Old Trafford. Across his time at…
Liverpool are now odds-on favourites to win the Premier League following their 2-0 win over title rivals Manchester City on Sunday. Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah highlighted a relatively comfortable victory at Anfield, with Arne Slot now seemingly unstoppable having won 18 of his first 20 games in charge. Following a dramatic weekend of Premier League action, Liverpool sit nine points clear at the top of the table after 13 games. Their nearest challengers are Arsenal and Chelsea who secured big wins against West Ham and Aston Villa respectively. Man City have now lost an unprecedented six…
Jorginho has been shocked by the ‘crazy’ criticism of ‘unbelievable’ Arsenal forward Kai Havertz. Eyebrows were raised when Arsenal spent £65m to sign Havertz from Chelsea in the summer of 2023 and the German endured a sluggish start to his Gunners career, scoring just once in his first 19 games for the club. He began to contribute more regularly towards the end of last season, however, and has nine goals in 19 appearances this term. Despite this, a number of pundits have criticised Havertz’s output and suggested Arsenal need to sign a new striker if they want to win major…

Ange Postecoglou admits he has to be careful with Son Heung-min as his Tottenham squad is looking thin, especially in wide areas. Son opened the scoring against Roma in north London on Thursday night, with the Europa League game eventually ending 2-2 thanks to an injury time equaliser for the Italians from Mats Hummels. Spurs are ninth in the Europa League table, with the top eight automatically qualifying for the knockout stages so they are in a decent spot, but with work to do. Postecoglou is trying to balance challenges in the Premier League, Carabao Cup and in Europe…
Owen Hargreaves has warned Ruben Amorim that his midfield tactics with Manchester United will be exposed by Arsenal and Manchester City. Amorim secured his first win as United manager in his debut game at Old Trafford on Thursday evening as his side sealed a 3-2 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League. Alejandro Garnarcho opened the scoring inside the opening minute but United were behind by the 23rd minute before Rasmus Hojlund equalised shortly before half time. The Denmark international then scored United’s winner from close range in the 50th minute. Amorim opted for a central-midfield pairing of Manuel Ugarte…
Micah Richards has warned Arsenal star Gabriel Magalhaes his decision to mock Viktor Gyokeres with his goal celebration will ‘come back to bite him’. Gabriel was on the scoresheet as Arsenal thrashed Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Gyokeres had a quiet night up against Gabriel and William Saliba but has otherwise been Europe’s most prolific marksmen this season with his celebration, locking his fingers together and pulling his hands over his face, an almost weekly occurrence. After his goal against Sporting, Gabriel mimicked Gyokeres’ celebration with former Gunners star Freddie Ljungberg branding the move ‘disrespectful.’…
Alejandro Garnacho faces competition from three Premier League stars after the Manchester United player was nominated for the 2024 Puskas award. FIFA have revealed the 11-man shortlist for the Puskas award which recognises the best goals scored from last season. Garnacho will no doubt be one of the favourites having been nominated for his spectacular overhead kick in United’s 3-0 win at Everton in November 2023. Commentating on that match for Sky Sports, Red Devils legend Gary Neville said of the goal: ‘He can’t believe it, Garnacho. I can’t believe it! ‘I don’t think I’ve ever been in a…

Here is all the information you need ahead of the FA Cup third-round draw including start time and how to watch on TV or via live steam… When…
Chelsea will hope to have Pedro Neto and Malo Gusto available again for their Premier League clash against Aston Villa this weekend. As has become custom, Enzo Maresca made 11 changes to his side for Thursday’s Europa Conference League win over Heidenheim with Noni Madueke and Levi Colwill the only regulars to even make the trip to Germany. Christoper Nkunku was on the score sheet again and while Maresca insists he will have opportunities to in the Premier League, the recent form of Nicolas Jackson suggests he will keep his place in the side on Sunday. Neto returned from international…
There’s no doubting the highlight of this weekend’s Premier League action with Liverpool hosting Manchester City at Anfield. Pep Guardiola’s side are in the midst of a dismal run and simply cannot afford another setback at what has been a particularly unhappy hunting ground in recent years. Arsenal, meanwhile, appear to be back to their best and will hope to cut the gap at the top to six points but West Ham, themselves, will be buoyed by Monday’s surprise win at Newcastle. As ever, Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer previews the action for Metro.co.uk… Brighton v Southampton Brighton continued their good…
