Along with his dry spell of only five goals in 14 appearances, the first choice striker for Manchester United hasn’t really been in his groove that he portrayed at the beginning of the last season. From being labeled as a ‘flat-track bully’ to being dropped down by his much controversial boss Jose Mourinho, it looks like his frustration is a combination of both his performance and his relationship with his boss. As reported, the Belgian could now be on his way out of the Old Trafford. The fact that he is a striker with good capability is something that we cannot…

Jurgen Klopp does not believe Manchester City will be worried if Liverpool beat Bournemouth to take over top spot in the Premier League – particularly as their lead may only last for a few hours. The Reds are involved in the Premier League’s early kick-off on Saturday and travel to the Vitality Stadium knowing a win will see them move above Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions in the table. Even if Liverpool win, City will have the chance to return to the summit when they play at Chelsea later the same day, though Klopp’s only focus is making sure his side find a…

In 2017/18, after a tough start to life in the English top flight (by his pristine benchmarks), Pep Guardiola more than made up for a poor 2016/17 season. His Manchester City side steamrolled their way to the summit of English football in emphatic fashion, shattering and setting a bundle of records on the way including the most number of goals scored in a single season as well as becoming the first club ever to rack up 100 points in a 38-game campaign in England. 15 games into the 2018/19 season, City sit pretty at the top of the Premier League…

The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria has described the recent altercation between the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Obi, and Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministries in Enugu as shameful.

Jurgen Klopp will be desperately hoping Chelsea can slow down Manchester City’s title charge this weekend as he balances his Premier League ambitions with a Champions League decider against Napoli. Unbeaten Liverpool are clinging on in the title race — scoring deep into added time against Everton last week and recovering from a goal down to beat Burnley on Wednesday to move just two points behind City. Elsewhere, all eyes will again be on the next instalment in the Old Trafford soap opera, with stuttering Manchester United hosting bottom club Fulham. Tottenham — yet to register a single draw in…

Manchester United and Arsenal played out a chaotic 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in a midweek Premier League fixture. Jose Mourinho experimented with a new-look backline, going with a five-man defence consisting of Diogo Dalot, Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Matteo Darmian. Predictably though, Arsenal found it easy to carve out chances on a night that produced 6 yellow cards, 5 of which came in a 5-minute spell in the first half. It was Arsenal who took the lead against the run of play when De Gea squandered what should have been an easy save off Shkodran Mustafi’s…

Manchester City are favourites to win back-to-back Premier League titles this season as they lead the league table with 41 points from 15 matches. Moreover, they have also scored 45 goals in this year’s campaign and are likely to break the record for the most number of goals scored in the league in a season. City themselves hold the record with 106 goals in the 2017-18 season. However, if City maintain the resent ratio, they might easily better that record. Pep Guardiola’s side are also one of the most entertaining teams to watch because of their free-flowing, passing football. City…
