Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has suggested that the Reds could use Wednesday night’s game against Chelsea, after which captain Jordan Henderson will be presented with the Premier League trophy, to exorcise the demons of 2014 when their title hopes infamously ebbed away.

Liverpool will receive the Premier League trophy at Anfield on Wednesday night after facing Chelsea in the final home game of the season, ending a 30-year wait to get their hands on a league trophy. The Reds sealed the title earlier this month – bizarrely both the earliest (in term of games to spare) and latest (in terms of calendar date) in English football history – and fans, players and staff alike have been desperate for this moment to come when it all becomes even more real. Here’s...

Good old Arsenal. After all the Arsene Wenger lark, aren't you just sick of flying banners over stadiums in a completely useless bid to get what you want? Obviously not. Fresh off the back of their most impressive victory in, God, a bloody long time, a few masterminds opted to restore the 'banter' which has strongly been associated with the club in recent times by flying a 'Back Arteta. Kroenke Out' banner over Villa Park ahead of the Gunners' fixture with Aston Villa on Tuesday night. A...

nked Oh, David de Gea. What has happened? The Spaniard had an afternoon to forget on Sunday as he was at fault for at least two (some would even say all three) of Chelsea's goals in the FA Cup semi-final defeat. The spilling of the ball into his own net followed by the look up to the sky and then down at the ground again has been an all-too-familiar sight for Man Utd fans in recent seasons. In fact, since the start of last season, only Martin Dubravka has made more errors leading to a goal than...

When Marcelo Bielsa arrived in West Yorkshire, the radical nature of the appointment was made abundantly clear as the side were ordered to strip the club's training ground of litter for three hours. The reason? He wanted his newly acquired squad to know just how long it took for the average Leeds fan to afford a match-day ticket. To the trained eye, this was typical behaviour from the Argentine head coach from his exploits abroad, but for those who were blissfully unaware of his unorthodox...

Zone Aston Villa took a giant leap towards safety as they beat Arsenal 1-0 at Villa Park to move out of the relegation zone heading into the final day. The hosts were mightily impressive in the opening period and took a deserved lead through Trezeguet, who crashed home from the edge of the area past a stationary Emi Martinez.

In Gianluigi Donnarumma's 200th game, Milan picked up a crucial 2-1 win at Sassuolo on Tuesday night. Though he couldn't keep out Francesco Caputo's first-half penalty, the young Italian was hardly troubled on a momentous night for him personally.

Stefano Pioli has signed a new two-year contract at AC Milan, bringing to an end speculation linking Ralf Rangnick with the managerial role. The 54-year-old had looked certain to depart San Siro earlier in the year, with inconsistent form dogging I Rossoneri for much of the 2019/20 Serie A campaign. But since Italian football resumed after a three-month break enforced by the global coronavirus pandemic, Pioli's Milan have fired themselves back into a Europa League qualification spot - picking...
