Jose Mourinho returns to AS Roma tomorrow night, for the very first time as an opponent. Mourinho led Roma to UEFA Conference League glory in 2021/22, but his time there was already through by 2024. And between that gig, and his current one, Mourinho had not one, but two other jobs (Benfica and Fenerbahce). It just shows you how well traveled he really is. Mourinho has already … [Read more...] about Real Madrid Team News at AS Roma: Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy

Arsenal Injury Updates: Martin Zubimendi, Piero Hincapie
Arsenal have two more names on their injured list, and both of them would have probably been starters in tonight's UEFA Champions League clash against Lille. After the win over Leeds United, we knew that defender Piero Hincapie had suffered an ankle injury, and that he would be doubtful for this midweek continental competition. It turns out that midfielder Martin Zubimendi has … [Read more...] about Arsenal Injury Updates: Martin Zubimendi, Piero Hincapie
Aston Villa Team News vs Fenerbahce: George Hemmings, Matteo Ruggeri, Brian Madjo, Leon Goretzka
Aston Villa are coming off what is arguably the best result of their season, at least so far. It might sound weird to say that, on the heels of a draw, and given how that stalemate came against Brentford. However, the Bees are fourth in the table right now, and they are in top form in the early going, so that was impressive. Unai Emery is starting to get more of his players … [Read more...] about Aston Villa Team News vs Fenerbahce: George Hemmings, Matteo Ruggeri, Brian Madjo, Leon Goretzka
Liverpool Predicted XI at LASK: Gomez, Szoboszlai, Ngumoha Could All Start
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola will likely shuffle his lineup on Wednesday night, when his side travels to LASK Linz for UEFA Champions League matchday two of eight. In making our projection, we rotated Joe Gomez and Rio Ngumoha in, which would then send Jeremy Jacquet and Lewis Koumas to the bench. We were tempted to also go with Federico Chiesa, over Florian Wirtz, but … [Read more...] about Liverpool Predicted XI at LASK: Gomez, Szoboszlai, Ngumoha Could All Start
Liverpool Team News at LASK: Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo
Yesterday's result at Anfield could not have gone any worse for the home side. In the wake of Manchester City's guilty verdict, on the charges of breaching the Premier League's financial rules, Merseyside was buzzing. Yes, it was buzzing with anger and vitriol, but in the end, the home side was utterly demolished, and the supporters made despondent. The 3-0 defeat also brought … [Read more...] about Liverpool Team News at LASK: Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo
Man United Predicted XI at Atletico Madrid: Rashford, Dalot Could Return to First Team
Michael Carrick is starting to make Manchester United supporters remember Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and not in a good way. Carrick is not evoking memories of "the baby faced assassin" and his clutch goal-scoring. Solskjaer excelled when he was the interim manager at United, but flopped after that tag got removed from his job title. Is Carrick a bit of history repeating? Well, the … [Read more...] about Man United Predicted XI at Atletico Madrid: Rashford, Dalot Could Return to First Team
Man United Team News at Atletico Madrid: Ben Sesko, Noussair Mazraoui, Patrick Dorgu
It turns out the lower leg injury to Benjamin Sesko is actually more serious than had been initially speculated upon. The Slovenian striker is not in the day-by-day/maybe a late fitness test kind of category. Sesko is in the long-term injury category, actually. It's not the shin, like last time, but it's in the same general area of the body. … [Read more...] about Man United Team News at Atletico Madrid: Ben Sesko, Noussair Mazraoui, Patrick Dorgu
Barcelona Team News at Galatasaray: Raphinha, Frenkie de Jong
FC Barcelona are off to a rip roaring start this season, as they are unblemished, thus far, in La Liga. They head into their second Champions League clash, this time at Galatasaray, having won the first 5-1 over Feyenoord. So obviously, they are feeling very good right now. However, they do have an injury concern with their Ballon d'Or candidate (although he was omitted from … [Read more...] about Barcelona Team News at Galatasaray: Raphinha, Frenkie de Jong
Arsenal Predicted XI vs Lille: Viktor Gyokeres Should Lead the Line
While the international break was very lengthy, once club returns, it comes at you very fast and furious. Arsenal beat Leeds United in the league, yesterday 2-1, but we already need to start previewing the next clash, as it kicks off in less than 48 hours time. The Gunners will welcome in Lille (or LOSC if you prefer to call them that) for a Champions League clash. Expect … [Read more...] about Arsenal Predicted XI vs Lille: Viktor Gyokeres Should Lead the Line
Arsenal Team News vs Lille: Piero Hincapie, Christos Tzolis
Arsenal got a lot of great squad fitness news yesterday, as Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Max Dowman and Ezri Konsa were all passed fit to feature (after entering the weekend as potential injury concerns) against Leeds United in the Premier League fixture. Three members of the quartet (Dowman was the only exception) started the 2-1 win over Leeds on Saturday. We're predicting that … [Read more...] about Arsenal Team News vs Lille: Piero Hincapie, Christos Tzolis
