Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has fired a warning to the club's hierarchy, insisting he faces a near-impossible job to bridge the gap to the Premier League's elite without serious financial backing. The Gunners did pick up a 2-1 victory over champions Liverpool on Wednesday, but they are still down in ninth in the Premier League table and face an uphill battle to qualify for the Europa League, let alone the Champions League. #ARSLIV highlights?

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has insisted he is not disappointed to have missed out on setting a new Premier League record points tally. The Reds needed seven points from their final three games to equal Manchester City's record of 100, while nine points would have seen them set a new standard. However, the 2-1 loss to Arsenal on Wednesday evening means Liverpool can now only reach 99. Arsenal ended hopes of breaking the record by picking up a 2-1 win They did still set the record for the...

When the team sheets came up an hour before kick off, the positive Liverpool fans cranked their expectancy levels up from 3-0 to somewhere around the five-goal mark. Who could blame them? That was a feeling shared among pretty much the entire football world. Multiple changes were made by Mikel Arteta with an eye on fitness and the upcoming FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City, while Liverpool were at full strength. ???. ?. ✊#ARSLIV — Arsenal (@Arsenal) July 15, 2020 You can look at the...

All So, Arsenal hosted Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. Wait, sorry, I'll rephrase: tenth place Arsenal hosted Premier League champions Liverpool on Wednesday night with a casual 43 points separating the two sides ahead of kick off. Startling. Who would be tuning in? Well, there are always those who love to watch Arsenal suffer, while there is also the angle of seeing whether Liverpool are actually bothered about breaking top flight records anymore and might get undone by...

tors Arsenal stunned Liverpool on Wednesday night by capitalising on two glaring errors to record a 2-1 Premier League win over the champions, boosting their European hopes. The visitors nearly took the lead in comical fashion, as Emiliano Martinez's attempted clearance was charged down by Roberto Firmino but, fortunately for the goalkeeper, clipped the post and away to safety. Sadio Mane made no mistake after 20 minutes, latching on to Andrew Robertson's cut back to fire home the opener. For...

The greatest professional wrestlers are remembered best for their thrilling entrance music that wraps around the arena as they make their way down to the ring. The fans love it, and it creates a buzz like no other. While football fans love to create an atmosphere of their own during games to support their club, we can't help but wonder what it would be like if teams took to the pitch with some entrance music to back them up. With football affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we're about...

It's been an up and down season for Newcastle. With a proposed Saudi takeover still hanging in the balance, uncertainty is marring the club at all levels. Since the Premier League has restarted following a three-month lockdown, however, they've looked refreshed. And while Allan Saint-Maximin has stolen the headlines for his exciting dribbles and emphatic performances in recent weeks, there's more to Newcastle's upturn in fortunes than just the Frenchman. Jonjo Shelvey has quietly been just as...

Having originally looked like an effort to aid Premier League squads as the season extended into the summer months, IFAB confirmed recently that the five substitutes per game ruling would still be implemented into next season. The announcement will come as a huge blow to the so-called ‘lesser sides’ in England’s top tier, with clubs possessing deeper and more quality-laden squads gaining a clear advantage at the prospect of being able to field 16 different players in any given game. Guardiola...

rets Wolverhampton Wanderers were left frustrated on Wednesday evening as they dropped two points at Turf Moor. The away side looked more threatening in the early stages, with Adama Traore in particular looking dangerous. However, despite their pressure, Nuno Espirito Santo's side were unable to create any notable chances in the first half. The second half continued in similar fashion, with neither side finding much joy in front of goal. Raul Jimenez's beauty wasn't enough for the three points....

Tottenham built on last weekend's derby win over Arsenal with another three points at Newcastle, keeping their late push for Europa League qualifications alive. Newcastle enjoyed a bright opening quarter, dominating possession and coming close through Miguel Almiron within the opening few minutes. However, their defence switched off following a drinks break which allowed Spurs to take the lead through Son Heung-min and take control of proceedings. Son scored the opening goal in the clash The...

Drop Manchester City stuttered their way to a 2-1 win over Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening, with the Cherries staring down the barrel of a return to the Championship. It took a little over five minutes for City to break the deadlock with David Silva curling a scintillating free kick over the Cherries wall, leaving Aaron Ramsdale clutching at thin air as the strike bounced in off the crossbar. The lead was doubled just before half-time, with Silva yet again instrumental as...

Tottenham, Leicester City and Newcastle United are all showing an interest in Roma's Amadou Diawara, with I Giallorossi valuing the midfielder at around €30m (£27m). Diawara has struggled with injuries this season, limiting him to just 14 starts in Serie A so far. The 22-year-old returned to action when play got back underway in June and although he initially struggled, he has since gained confidence and put in an impressive display last time out against Brescia.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has claimed he is 'not surprised' goalkeeper Jan Oblak is being linked with a move away, with Chelsea particularly interested. Kepa Arrizabalaga became the world's most expensive goalkeeper when he made the switch to west London in the summer of 2018. However, he has since made a number of high-profile mistakes, leaving manager Frank Lampard unconvinced. Kepa has made a number of errors Lampard dropped Kepa from the starting lineup back in February following...

Two minutes. That's all the time it took for Leicester City's stuttering season to stop stuttering and burst into flames. With 65 minutes on the clock and Leicester 1-0 up in a crucial encounter against relegation threatened Bournemouth, the vastly experienced Kasper Schmeichel blasted a goal kick straight into Wilfred Ndidi's boney arse. Why you ask? Well, that's a question that I've been asking myself for the past few days. I'm still no closer to an answer. Perhaps the Dane thought it would...

On Tuesday 14th July, Hull City were on the wrong end of a merciless thrashing, which had football fans all over the world's jaws dropping as they checked the half time scores. While it is probably of little consolation to the Tigers, they are not alone in their misery. Here are nine games which have been completely settled by half time. 1.

As Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is so often keen to point out, football is a game of emotions. Indeed, no other sport allows as much freedom for personal expression as the beautiful game. Things can happen in the heat of the moment, where players and coaches reveal their rawest emotions to millions of viewers around the world. No player is a better example of that than Cristiano Ronaldo. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated that he isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. If he's...

News Inter's attempts to win a first Serie A title since 2011 may have fallen by the wayside, but Antonio Conte's side still have work to do when they take on basement boys SPAL at San Siro. I Nerazzurri comfortably dispatched Torino last time out, but are now eight points behind table toppers Juventus - with hopes of overcoming their bitter rivals now a distant memory. Catching Atalanta - who are this season's surprise package - to finish second remains a possibility, and those chances will be...

Mikel Arteta has again called on Arsenal's hierarchy to back him financially in the summer transfer window, or be prepared for another season without Champions League football. The Spaniard has already brought in players since joining the club, with Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares signing permanently having initially joined on loan deals in January. ?

Manchester United missed the opportunity to jump ahead of both Chelsea and Leicester in the hunt for Champions League places after drawing against Southampton in their last Premier League outing. It was a huge chance for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side after a top four finish, never mind a top three finish, once looked so unlikely. The fact they didn’t take advantage now puts significant pressure on the team to get a win away at Crystal Palace on Thursday. United also have an FA Cup semi-final...
