West Ham are expected to cut ties with winger Felipe Anderson this summer, regardless of whether they secure their Premier League safety or not. The 27-year-old, whose £36m move to the club in 2018 made him West Ham's record signing at the time, has managed just one goal in 24 appearances this season, and his poor form has seen him fall down the pecking order. Anderson has failed to live up to expectations this year That's hardly the ideal scenario for either the club or the player, and The...

A clean sheet away to Crystal Palace - whether it should've been one or not - means that David de Gea has become the goalkeeper with the joint-most Premier League clean sheets for Manchester United, equalling Peter Schmeichel's record of 112.

While none of this would ever have...

The significance of the left winger position has waxed and waned over time, but in the modern era it has reached the pinnacle of its acclaim.

As they so often do, City will enter the game as...

News Bournemouth host Southampton this Sunday, knowing that they can give themselves a real chance of Premier League survival with a win – thanks in no small part to the points they picked up in their stunning 4-1 win over Leicester last weekend.

Philippe Coutinho is keen to rejoin Liverpool this summer, possibly on loan, according to the latest round of half-snatched rumours. The 28-year-old left the club to join Barcelona in January 2018, but failure to make an impact since has left him caught in football's no man's land. He's subsequently been linked with a return to the Reds at least a dozen times since.

Mikel Arteta has said that the continued omission of troublesome duo Matteo Guendouzi and Mesut Ozil is down to 'purely football reasons', insisting he would never let a player's off-field antics impact the team he puts out.
