It has been a long wait, but Leeds United will finally be playing Premier League football again next season. Their promotion to England's top division was confirmed on Friday evening as West Bromwich Albion fell to a 2-1 defeat to Huddersfield.

Had coronavirus not struck, Jordan Pickford could have been lining up for England in the Euro 2020 final last Sunday. Instead, he was clawing Daniel Podence's tame shot off his line as it had wriggled through his clutches during Everton's 3-0 defeat to Wolves in the Premier League. Podence's effort was kept out, but it was one of a number of hair-raising, edge of your seat moments that Pickford has produced this season. Had the Euros taken place as originally planned, the Everton stopper would...

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. The stat comes at a more apt time than ever and serves a reminder to football fans - and perhaps Manchester United fans too - that De Gea is an elite level goalkeeper, despite United's struggles over the last few years. While none of this would ever have...

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...

fety West Ham effectively ensured their Premier League safety on Friday evening as they stormed to a 3-1 win over fellow strugglers Watford. David Moyes' side began bright and needed just five minutes to open the scoring through Michail Antonio, and it was 2-0 just four minutes later when Tomáš Souček again made the most of his height to head home. Watford tried to grow back into the game, but Declan Rice's long-range screamer ten minutes before the break looked to kill all hope of a comeback....

Just 11 years after making his senior debut, André Schürrle has brought an end to his career. The German forward announced his retirement on Friday, hanging up his boots at the tender age of 29. The premature decision is a sad one for a player who achieved some of the greatest feats in the game across the top leagues in Europe.

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. After Bayern Munich passed up on the option to purchase Coutinho at the end of his loan spell, the Brazilian is back in the hunt...

We're getting to that point of the season. For many fans, football is no longer fun. Instead, it's just one 90-minute rollercoaster of anxiety after another. Some supporters would rather lie back on the sofa and watch an episode of 30 Rock to relieve the tension, so hey, why not combine them both? That's what the European Player Power Rankings are all about! Let's see who's been shining this week. 15. Marcus Rashford (Re-Entry) Rashford impressed against Crystal Palace “I’m thirsty.

inal The FA Cup semi-final clash between Arsenal and Manchester City on Saturday is being viewed by both sides as a key fixture. For Arsenal, it represents a chance to salvage something from this underwhelming campaign. For City, it's another step on the quest to win as many trophies as possible. The Premier League title might be gone, but City could still end the year with their own treble if they can with both the FA Cup and Champions League. As they so often do, City will enter the game as...

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. A key part of the three-pronged front line used by most of the best sides in the world, it is often the goalscoring and creative hub. In-keeping with its importance, there are many different approaches that one can take to the role. Languid playmakers, fleet-footed speedsters and most skillful inside forwards are just three examples of the diversity that...
