Premier League

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today's football news.Liverpool are now level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City but Pep ...

The Premier League title race between Manchester City and Liverpool looks set to go right down to the final day of the season. But there is a scenario that ...

Liverpool are then in action in the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris on Saturday, May 28. Matchweek 38 of the Premier League season will take place on Sunday, May 22. So if City and Liverpool end the season level on points, goal difference and goals scored then the destination of the Premier League title will be decided in a play-off.

Arsenal can secure a Champions League spot on Thursday night - here is a look at the Gunners' final Premier League fixtures compared to their top-four ...

Everton are currently locked in a relegation battle with Burnley and Leeds United and the Toffees boast a solid record against Arsenal - winning their last three outings. However, a win certainly won't come easy, especially when you consider that the Gunners haven't won away against Spurs in seven years. A win for Mikel Arteta's men would guarantee a place in the top four.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Leeds and Chelsea would look at their unlikely rivalry as the biggest game of the season. Back then, the two teams fought for the ...

There is sloppiness at the back for Chelsea too, with Tuchel's side making three errors leading to goals since the start of last month - no Premier League team has made more in that period. For Leeds, the Elland Road clash on Wednesday is their very own cup final - and the home fans will create a hostile atmosphere that very few can rival. The horrid run since the beginning of April has come even though Chelsea have averaged the most possession and shots per game than any other Premier League team in that same period. To put it simply, Tuchel's side can be far more efficient in the two penalty areas to both put teams away and keep them at bay. But while the FA Cup final with Liverpool can be seen as a distraction, Wednesday night's clash allows Tuchel to kill two birds with one stone by winning. It's such a unique project trying to change the playing philosophy and survive and thrive in a relegation battle." Can't decide which of Wednesday's crucial Premier League games to watch? Leeds simply do not have the same control of matches under the German-American than with Bielsa in charge. For the past four years, Kalvin Phillips played as the sole sitting midfielder under Bielsa but Marsch has brought in another team-mate to help him that area - currently Mateusz Klich while Adam Forshaw is out injured. Leeds are conceding fewer goals per game with Marsch at the helm, while their ball recoveries and tackling numbers are up under their new manager. The reason why Leeds are literally chasing games, rather than controlling them, is down to their efficiency on the ball. "There's still moment where they get caught in the man marking.

A sizable portion of the squad appears to be on the beach, which is probably due to the fact that these players won't be at Stamford Bridge in 2022/23.

For the Club World Cup champions to be getting -145 odds against a team that looks destined for the Championship next season, there has to be serious disbelief in the former’s quality. The supporters’ energy should buy Leeds at least one goal, but the Blues are one of the best away sides in the Premier League this season. The doubt of the bookmakers is starting to show itself. At this point, I just can’t wait for the season to be over. My record has certainly taken a beating over the past month or so, but there is one positive to the Blues’ poor form. The reigning European Champions now find themselves back in a fight for the top four and they will need every remaining ounce of competitive spirit to qualify for next year’s Champions League. I’ll just be watching and hoping for the best.

With Arsenal just a point behind the Blues and Tottenham four points further back, a top-four finish is not yet a certainty for Chelsea. With an FA Cup final to ...

We were not disciplined enough in our structure because the structure was already very offensive and very risky. They face a Leeds side though who are desperately in need of points themselves. “In our last match we took too much risk in our structure. Leeds needing a positive result in their relegation battle, Chelsea looking to find some form ahead of the FA Cup final... Leeds sit in the relegation zone with three matches to go and it is sure to be an incredible atmosphere in front of their home fans. Chelsea travel to face Leeds at Elland Road tonight needing a win to help get the club’s form heading back in the right direction.

Jesse Marsch and his players are without a win in three and have the same number of games to save their topflight status with the Blues the first of a ...

A draw would not be a huge surprise, but a clean sheet looks highly unlikely for the home side. Chelsea are arguably their toughest remaining opponents so it could be that anything here is a bonus and that Brighton and Hove Albion as well as Brentford could be more realistic sources of survival points. This one will likely be tight, but the visitors should just about come out on top. Chelsea: With just one win from their last five as well, Tuchel's side have an FA Cup final against Liverpool up next and Leicester City and relegated Watford to come. Leeds United enter Wednesday's clash with Chelsea in the Premier League relegation zone while Thomas Tuchel's men are still looking over their shoulder nervously in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification. Leeds: With one win from their last five games, the new manager bounce under Marsch has dried up somewhat.

Leeds United host Chelsea at Elland Road as Jesse Marsch's side face another tough test in their fight for Premier League survival.

FIFA 22 predicts that Leeds could earn a vital point against Chelsea but could have taken more from the game if Marsch's side were able to be clinical in front of goal and taken their chances. Chelsea were able to find a late equaliser through Werner as the Blues counter-attacked Leeds as the home side pushed for a third goal. Leeds responded well and found an equaliser on the stroke of half-time as Daniel James pounced on a mistake at the back by Sarr, raced in on goal and slotted the ball past Mendy to make it 1-1.

Miguel Veloso and Wesley Sneijder are just two of the stars who have long been linked with moves to the Premier League but saw potential transfers to ...

I felt 90% in that moment that I [would] go to Arsenal and Arsene Wenger. But at that moment we didn't arrive at the deal, Atletico Madrid arrived and in three or four days fixed everything," Villa told BBC Sport in 2020. One of the best Spanish strikers of all time, David Villa was linked with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United before joining Barcelona in 2010. But I didn’t think it was the right time to leave Milan," he told Four Four Two last September. But I also told the club I’d happily go to Real Madrid if an offer came in the next window. It was a matter of 48 hours but Sandro Rosell had told me way before I got the offer: 'If I become Barca president, will you come?' I said yes. Both sides were looking to improve their options in defensive midfield, with Veloso's performances in the Champions League making him standout.

Wolverhampton Wanderers host Manchester City on Wednesday and depending on Liverpool's result against Aston Villa on Tuesday, Pep Guardiola and his players ...

Wolves: Three losses from the last four is not good enough for Bruno Lage's men and points will be needed against one of City or Liverpool if Europe is to be reached. The Hammers are arguably the toughest opponents but there might not be anything left to play for if Villa do City a favor against Liverpool. This one should be easy enough for the visitors who know that three more wins will seal the title. City: Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Ruben Dias are all out for the rest of this season. Wolves: Daniel Podence will miss out, although he is expected to be back before the end of this season. Can they halt City's progress and help Liverpool back into the race?

Our friends over at FourFourTwo have dropped another banger, as they rank the greatest South Americans to ever grace the Premier League.

Ederson loses to Alisson once again as the shot-stopper can only manage eighth position. The controversial Tevez takes fourth spot. Had he handled himself better on the pitch, he would surely have been Ballon d’Or worthy. Whilst the Uruguayan can’t boast the longevity of Aguero, his impact could be perceived as far greater. Let’s also not forget that iconic last-minute winner against QPR which earnt the club their very first crown – it will take something special to knock ‘Kun Aguero’ off his perch. There could only ever have been one man at top spot and Aguero takes the prize.

Salah could join Harry Kane and Alan Shearer on three Premier League Golden Boots if he holds off Son and Ronaldo.

He is one of the top goalscorers in the league in the last seasons and he is constantly improving. A season later? A season later? - 4. - 2. - 1.

Chelsea 'cooled their interest in signing Erling Haaland over concerns about his suitability for the Premier League - because he will not get the same space to ...

Unfortunately, he is a really good signing.' He is a real beast. He will love that. Good player. Erling Haaland's suitability for the Premier League was reportedly a key reason for Chelsea cooling their interest in signing the star striker, who has since joined Manchester City. Chelsea 'cooled their interest in signing Erling Haaland over concerns about his suitability for the Premier League - because he will not get the same space to attack as he had at Borussia Dortmund'

A three-year extension has been confirmed with emphasis on timeless, digital content instead of in-studio programmes with high-profile presenters facing the ...

Press conferences and matches will continue to be the primary focus because PLP provides the feed to international networks who collectively spend billions on showing the top tier of English football. There are likely to be a series of on-demand documentaries created instead. A number of high-profile presenters are expected to depart, while camera operators and logistics staff have been told they are not having their contracts renewed or that their hours will be drastically reduced.

The extension for Premier League Productions will run from the start of the 2022/23 season until the end of 2024/25.

This extension will stretch the pair’s production partnership to 18 years. PLP produces and distributes the Premier League’s international content, including the broadcasting of all 380 matches per season from English soccer’s top flight. Additionally, PLP offers international broadcast partners studio-based output, fan focused agenda shows, magazine programming, classic matches, and other long-form storytelling.

The Premier League title race could yet extend to a 39th game as authorities consider how to separate Manchester City and Liverpool should they finish level ...

Liverpool are reliant on their rivals losing a game in their final three outings if they are to claw back the deficit. They are now battling to the finish line, with Liverpool level on points having played a game more following their win over Aston Villa on Tuesday night. There has not yet been any formal planning, but it is believed that the most likely provisional date for any contest is May 25.

“Nothing changed after the game against Newcastle,” said Guardiola at his Tuesday press conference. “We are who we are and are going to last three games with the players we have and go for it. Next up are a Wolves side who need a win to maintain their hopes of crashing the top seven and qualifying for Europe next season.

Manchester City face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux this evening, looking to take one step closer to another Premier League title.

As it stands, the Blues need seven points from their remaining nine to guarantee back-to-back domestic triumphs for the second time under Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola confirmed there has been no changes to the availability within his Manchester City squad for this clash. Manchester City

Kevin De Bruyne scored four goals as Manchester City restored a three-point lead at the Premier League summit with a 5-1 win at Wolves.

Foden looked inside for Sterling but his pass took a ricochet and fell kindly for De Bruyne to score again. The ball rolled back to De Bruyne and he rifled back past the keeper with the aid of a deflection. This time De Bruyne was looking to play in Sterling but Sa came out to intercept. De Bruyne grabbed his fourth on the hour after leading another break and finding Foden in the area. His third was all his own work as he cut in from the right following a City throw-in and curled a superb left-foot shot around Sa from the edge of the area. Bernardo Silva brought the ball under control and slipped De Bruyne in on goal with a fine through-ball.

Yorke scored a 22-minute hat-trick on February 25, 2001 when Manchester United demolished Arsenal 6-1. This was De Bruyne's first-ever hattrick for City and what a time to get it with the stakes higher than ever as City attempt to close in on a Premier League title. It's the third-fastest hattrick in the history of the Premier League with only Dwight Yorke and Sadio Mane ahead of him.

It should have been five to be honest!" For the first goal, he began the move before running on to Bernardo Silva's return pass for a sumptuously-placed finish in the seventh minute.

Kevin De Bruyne's four-goal haul kept Manchester City on course for the Premier League title as the defending champions thrashed Wolves 5-1 at Molineux on ...

De Bruyne nearly had time for a fifth of his own in the final minute as he curled off the post. An injury to Laporte was the only negative of the night for City as he limped off after a heavy challenge from Raul Jimenez. The best was yet to come from the 30-year-old as he took aim from outside the box and arrowed a shot into the bottom corner to complete a hat-trick, with all three goals scored by his supposedly weaker left foot.

Son-Heung Min has shortened to a best price 9/2 in the Premier League top goalscorer betting market but Liverpool's Mo Salah is still the favourite.

250/1 Cristiano Ronaldo has made a move of his own during the same period but remains a best price 80/1 with 18 goals to his name. 250/1

Liverpool trail Man City by three points in the Premier League table with just two fixtures left to play.

If Liverpool were to beat both Southampton and Wolves, while City lost one and won one in the remaining two matches, then the title would be decided on goal difference. Liverpool now have just two matches left to try and leapfrog City to the title. The Reds are battling with Manchester City for the league title, and have just two matches left to play.

At Molineux, De Bruyne scored the third earliest hat-trick in Premier League history with a sumptuously-placed finish in the seventh minute, a clever follow-up to a rebound in the 16th, and a curler from the edge of the box in the 24th. The Belgian put the game to bed with a hat-trick in a devastating 18-minute spell in the first half, before notching a fourth after the break as the away fans alternated between chanting "Kevin De Bruyne" and "Champions of England". Manchester City's midfield genius Kevin De Bruyne scored four goals on Wednesday (May 11) in a 5-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers to put his team in a commanding position to retain the Premier League with two games remaining.

Are Manchester City more deserving of the title than Liverpool? Plus, Jon Moss, Schrodinger's champions, Erling Haaland and lots more...

Ferguson has 13 in 27 (so got one on average once every 4.5 years), Wenger got 3 in 22 years (one every 7.3 years). Klopp is not as good as Ferguson, but better than Wenger (but if he doesn’t win the PL in the next couple of years, he’ll slip) – of course, I’ll conced that that is another entirely made up metric to support a straw man argument, which others would be right to ignore. More points today doesn’t mean a team was better than a team that played 25 years ago – it just doesn’t. It just means that the league was more competitive back then and that even the best team wasn’t guaranteed three points against two thirds of their opponents before a ball is kicked. In thst sense Klopp probably is a “better” manager in a strict qualitative sense, but so too are most of the top flight managers. It’ll be interesting to see where other players who are being chased by a myriad of the big clubs across Europe (Nkunku for example) end up going in the summer. And now is the time to win the league, what with Haaland coming in next year. Man City have already had one of these in Sergio Aguero, yet still were unable to win the Champions League with one of the Premier Leagues best ever strikers. And who knows, maybe it will be time to break out the narrative klaxon if the title race is in the hands of Steven Gerrard. Haaland is most likely being signed to win the Champions League. In the Premier League Man City already win around 30 games a season, and score lots of goals. But they absolutely cannot move to a club more likely to win trophies as we’ll be right in contention for a lot next season as well. Obviously it’s to draw the other towards our goal and create that space for a fast transition, but when the other team doesnt take the bait…we’re stuck. It’s a shame we couldn’t win the title this year because all season I kept thinking “wow if city had an actual striker this could have been a win/cricket score” against Liverpool the lack of a striker cost them 2 or 3 good chances. The fact is, it’s also possible for City to pretty much wrap up the title before Liverpool play again.

Plus: Sadio Mane becoming the Liverpool poster boy after scoring the winner for Aston Villa; Mason Mount proving he is Chelseas present and future star.

Luke Ayling is also out for the campaign with suspension, while Patrick Bamford, Tyler Roberts and Adam Forshaw are out injured, meaning Marsch was forced to name four players on the bench against Chelsea who are yet to play in the Premier League this season. Jack Harrison and Raphinha are also injury doubts after coming off against Chelsea - Marsch said the former suffered a "contusion" that limited his movement - and the American's squad is starting to look desperately thin. It was never going to be a classic, and so it proved. There were still 35 minutes on the clock when Christian Pulisic doubled Chelsea's lead at Elland Road, but both they and Leeds seemed to know that the game was up. "He initially came in on the right wing then moved to the left when Salah arrived," said Jamie Carragher after the Villa game. "Diaz comes in on the left and Mane goes to centre forward. Yet the Senegalese winger's expert header against Villa symbolises how flexible Mane has had to be in that fixed front three, with Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz now in the competition mixer too. "I have a feeling he has started to enjoy scoring," he revealed. But I think this season he has also had the sense to be prolific to score goals. In the 18 months or so before Klopp had joined, Liverpool had signed the likes of Christian Benteke, Mario Balotelli and Ings - all of whom flopped very quickly. The third of the four was De Bruyne's favourite, a rasping drive with his so-called weaker foot that showcased his extraordinary technique. That has always been Kevin De Bruyne but where he would once look to influence games with his passing now he has added decisive goals too.

Kevin De Bruyne's astonishing four-goal haul stole the show at Molineux and took Manchester City within touching distance of the Premier League title.

Not to mention a fourth in the second half that put the game beyond all doubt... I actually thought this was his worst game in ages, but he still managed to get himself on the scoresheet. His passing was fantastic and he's so press-resistant- the man seems to be in City's top five performers almost every time he plays. A mixed bag, and worrying to see him go off injured in the second half. Didn't cover himself in glory for the Wolves equaliser, though we can only be so critical of a man who only started (out of position) because of three separate injuries. Not particularly present for the Wolves goal, a good reminder of just how different he and Kyle Walker are in their playing styles.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was relieved with a 3-0 win over Leeds United after a difficult month.

Good news." We had a lot of reason to trust ourselves. We deserved to win.

Manchester City have suffered yet another major injury blow at centre-back, with Aymeric Laporte taken off midway through the second-half against Wolves ...

Astonishingly, the 30-year-old was not done there. He was on hand to fire a rebound into the corner just after the half-time break and join an elite club of players to score four goals in one Premier League match. With Ruben Dias, John Stones, and Kyle Walker all missing for the remainder of the season - according to Guardiola - the Catalan will be desperate to not add Laporte to the treatment table.

On a sliding scale from top to bottom, every place in the Premier League is worth roughly £2.2 million in prize money this season.

“We need to finish as high as possible because it’s worth a lot of money, the positions where we finish in the league.” There is no trophy for finishing ninth in the Premier League nor glory in ending up 10th. That sum is due to tumble this season but the final days of the campaign will decide by how much. At the back end of a season due to finish on Sunday week, five points currently separate six clubs from ninth to 14th. It will get there because there’s still growth in the market but it’s still going to hurt clubs for a few years yet. For the middling Premier League clubs it’s the approximate financial equivalent of two years of a shirt sponsorship deal. “All these clubs are still in recovery mode after COVID-19. It’s going to take a couple of years before it’s completely back to normal. “This new agreement will continue that trend with a subtle change that further incentivises on-pitch achievement and maintains the Premier League’s position as the most equitable in Europe in terms of sharing central revenues,” said then chief executive Richard Scudamore in 2018. The existing levels of international revenue would continue to be shared out equally among the 20 clubs but any increase would be distributed on where a team finished in the league table. On a sliding scale from top to bottom, every place in the Premier League is worth roughly £2.2 million in prize money this season. The Premier League’s annual pot — all £2.5 billion of it — is clinically divided up at a season’s end. In the region of £13 million.

Jamie Redknapp pretty much nailed his prediction on at the start of the season amid this year's Premier League title tussle between Liverpool and Manchester ...

Liverpool have two games left and face Southampton and Wolves in the Premier League with an FA Cup final against Chelsea to contend with as well. Liverpool drew level with City at the top of the Premier League with a nail-biting win over Aston Villa on Tuesday night. City have been setting the pace for most of the season and were 15 points clear at one moment earlier in the campaign.
