k 38 Almost a year removed from when most of us were conjuring up initial FPL drafts at a frightening rate, the conclusion of the 2019/20 Premier League Fantasy Football campaign is finally upon us. In a season full of hasty wildcards, dilly dallying over the use of the bench boost and wondering how the f*ck one can even surpass the 100-point mark in a single gameweek, there's just one final push in a bid for some to claim FPL bragging rights. It's been a slog, but we're nearly there....

Mason Greenwood played his 50th game for Manchester United this week, marking the occasion with another goal as he continues a sensational breakout season. The 18-year-old now has 17 goals to show for those 50 appearances, an impressive tally that could yet grow by the time the 2019/20 campaign comes to an end. Here’s a look at how Greenwood compares to six currently active superstars and one still active Manchester United legend at the same stage of their respective careers, 50 games in....

How Mason Greenwood stats compare to existing superstar players at the same stage of their career (50 games) - Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe.

It's 11 April 2017 and Juventus are lining up against Barcelona for their leg at home in the Champions League quarter finals. Coming off their famous 'La Remontada' 6-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain, La Blaugrana were viewed as the most potent team in the world. Their famed 'MSN' front trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar were all in form, while their opponents had laboured past Porto in the last 16. Yet by the end of the night, the Catalans were the goalless team, with their stars...

After 30 years of hurt, Liverpool fans finally saw the reality of the image that some had been dreaming of for decades. Manchester City's 2-1 defeat at Chelsea at the end of June confirmed the Reds as Premier League champions for the first time and although their stuttering form post-title confirmation meant they weren't able to break the Citizens' 100-point single-season record, there's no doubting Jurgen Klopp's ruthless machine will go down as one of the finest outfits in memory. Following...

There is a fair share of footballers in the current age who make a considerably healthy living to kick a ball around some grass. Equally, there are a decent few at the very top earning a king's ransom to sit on their backsides and just watch people kick a ball around some grass. Dream job, eh? In most of these players' cases, it's no fault of their own. Either they're not fancied by managers that had nothing to do with bringing them to the club, they've struggled with fitness, or there's...

It's the 91st minute of Wednesday's clash between Chelsea and Liverpool. The Reds are already 5-3 up and pushing for a sixth as they prepare to take a free kick on the edge of Chelsea's penalty area. A cross comes drifting across the six-yard box at the perfect height for a goalkeeper, but nothing happens. The ball ends up at the back post, where a stunned Virgil van Dijk is caught off guard so much that he can't keep his shot down. And what do we hear? Very rare pic of 6 players begging Kepa...

News Antonio Conte's Inter are expected to get back to winning ways when they face relegation-threatened Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Saturday evening. Il Biscione's draw with Fiorentina on Wednesday effectively handed Juventus the title, with the Old Lady only needing a win against Udinese to secure their ninth straight Scudetto. Inter's title challenge has effectively been over for a while though, with inconsistent results proving to be their undoing. That has very much been the case...

Well, we thought we'd never get here but here we are. The Premier League is drawing to a close. The trophy has been handed out, last place has been decided but there's still a little left to play for on the final day. This season has seen many an emerging young player make their mark in style but the category that continues to quietly deliver is that of the over 30's. So, let's give the golden oldies the credit they deserve by naming our over 30's Premier League XI of the season. 1. Kasper...

News Chelsea's quest for Champions League football comes down to the final day of the season as Frank Lampard's side host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon. The Blues can guarantee qualification for Europe's elite competition with a point at Stamford Bridge, with the final spot going to one of Manchester United and Leicester City, who meet at the same time.

Contract talks are thought to be progressing well According to The Telegraph, talks have gone so well that Arsenal are now...

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti is expected to depart Camp Nou this summer, with Serie A hinted as his next challenge. Recurring knee issues somewhat thwarted Umtiti's 2019/20 campaign as he made a mere 13 La Liga appearances, while the Frenchman made just one start following Spanish football's restart last month. Umtiti endured a tough afternoon in his sole start since the restart at Celta Vigo With Barcelona not exactly keen to keep a highly-paid, third-choice centre half on their books,...

Tottenham Hotspur are optimistic about their chances of signing Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, despite warning the Saints that they are not prepared to match Everton's bid for the Dane. Southampton had been holding out for £35m, but Carlo Ancelotti's side have had a £25m bid for Højbjerg accepted, with Spurs' own offer sitting at closer to the £15m mark. Everton have already had a bid accepted for Hojbjerg On paper, it's not looking good for Spurs, but The Guardian state that...

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has revealed that midfielder Paul Pogba apologised to the rest of his teammates for giving away a penalty in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with West Ham. Pogba raised his arms towards his face to stop himself from being hit by an incoming shot, but the ball ricocheted off his hand and forced the referee to award a penalty, from which Michail Antonio stepped up to leave United facing a final-day playoff against Leicester City to seal Champions League football....

Liverpool's 30-year wait to lift the Premier League title finally came to an end on Wednesday as Jürgen Klopp's side took to the Kop to raise the famous trophy. After an exciting 5-3 win over Chelsea earlier in the night, the stage was set for the historic moment for Liverpool. Fireworks were set off outside Anfield even before the game had finished and the party is likely to continue for a little while yet. Here's how some of the key figures in the title triumph reacted. They may not be...

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard aimed a dig at some of Liverpool's backroom staff in the aftermath of his side's 5-3 defeat to the Reds on Wednesday, warning them not to be 'too arrogant' about their Premier League title triumph. Jürgen Klopp's side got their hands on the trophy after the game, and while that will dominate the headlines, the match also featured a fiery confrontation between the two managers after Liverpool scored their second, with Lampard looking particularly frustrated towards...

Jurgen Klopp has told Liverpool fans to be ready for a celebration once coronavirus restrictions are eased, after the club lifted the Premier League title on Wednesday. The Reds rounded off their home campaign at Anfield with a 5-3 victory over Chelsea, with their title win confirmed since June. The manager told Sky Sports, as quoted by the Mirror: "What can I say? If you don't see that we do it for you I can't help you, really. Same, boss ??#LFCchampions pic.twitter.com/L5aM7eA1JF — Liverpool...

As a set of supporters of certain teams within the parameters of one collective sport, we do love criticising. Whether that is in reference to our own clubs or those of others, it's almost impossible not to pick holes and point fingers at others. It's practically in our nature. Have Arsenal been woeful on course to their worst top flight finish in 25 years? You bet. Has Chelsea's defence been very poor despite them hovering around the top four place for most of the season? Indeed, that too....

So, a nice solid win for Liverpool against Chelsea was all that was needed in the penultimate game of the season for Jurgen Klopp's side. But thankfully for the viewers - unless you were caught up in Wednesday's Championship drama, which was also excellent - the two sides put on an entertaining spectacle, full of awesome goals and daft defensive play. There was also some trophy lofting to be seen, if you hadn't heard. That was eventful ?#LIVCHE pic.twitter.com/0vXEFeKjRs — Premier League...

ions Liverpool ensured their Premier League title-lifting celebrations came off the back of a victory, as a barmy 5-3 win over Chelsea saw the visitors' hopes of elite European qualification suffer a potentially crucial blow. The deadlock was broken in mesmerising fashion, with Naby Keita unleashing a rocket that flew beyond Kepa Arrizabalaga off the underside of the bar. Not to be outdone by his teammate, Trent Alexander-Arnold sprinkled his own magic on the affair with a fine bending free...
