Al-Ittihad launched a staggering £200m bid for the Liverpool star last summer. Jurgen Klopp's decision to step down has fuelled talk of a potential Salah exit. Liverpool have been 'hungover' since Man United dumped them out of the FA Cup - where has their energy gone? Listen to the
Sunderland may be destined for a midtable finish under Mike Dodds but it's still all to play for at the top and bottom of the Championship. It's a dramatic promotion race with four teams still competing for a top two spot, while the relegation battle is far from settled Sunderland's season hasn't gone as planned but they'll be keen to bounce back and compete at the top end of the table next time around under a new permanent manager. For now, though, here's a look at what's going on elsewhere in...
Sheffield United’s James McAtee says the positive that he has taken from this disappointing campaign in the top flight is that he knows that’s where he wants to be playing. McAtee picked up the Young Player of the Year prize at The Star Football Awards after some impressive displays in the Premier League for the Blades in what was ultimately a campaign to forget overall. The Manchester City starlet is expected to go back across the Pennines when his loan spell runs out and who knows where the...
Manchester City have four fixtures left in the Premier League and know four wins will see them crowned champions regardless of what rivals Arsenal do
Leeds United were left stunned on Friday when they were handed a shock 4-0 defeat by 17th-placed Queens Park Rangers. Despite holding the lion’s share of possession and attempting 15 shots towards goal, Daniel Farke’s side simply couldn’t find a way though and left Loftus Road with a mauling. Leeds are now at serious risk of missing out on a top two finish, as Ipswich Town are seriously threatening to unravel their efforts this season. The Tractor Boys are currently level on 90 points with the...
Leeds United's hopes of automatic promotion took a huge blow on Friday night at QPR. It was a performance that failed to inspire and the result leaves Leeds needing results elsewhere to go their way over the next week. It's not over yet, of course, but if Ipswich Town win their two games in hand it will be. The Whites are now at the mercy of the Tractor Boys results and they'll be praying Kieran McKenna's side fall short at Hull City this evening and again against Coventry City on Tuesday...
Daniel Farke must continue to manage his own emotions and keep himself in check over the remainder of the Championship season, says Tony Pulis. With just two more games to play over the regular season, Leeds United find themselves sitting inside the top two and that's where they'll hope to stay come May 4. Wins over QPR on Friday and Southampton on the final day of the campaign will give them the best chance of doing that, but as it stands, their fate is not in their own hands. Leicester City...
Then Leeds director of football Victor Orta turned his attention to Arne Slot during a search that unsuccessfully explored the possibility of taking Carlos Corberan from West Bromwich Albion and Andoni Iraola from Rayo Vallecano. Corberan promptly signed a new contract at the Hawthorns and Rayo Vallecano blocked Leeds’ approach for Iraola, who was not minded to force his way out of the LaLiga club. The Whites then appeared to believe Feyenoord boss Slot was potentially obtainable, until he...
Leeds United take on Middlesbrough on Monday night and they know nothing less than a win will do as the club push to win automatic promotion back to the Premier League. Leicester City picked up three crucial points on Saturday and that means Leeds now find themselves sitting two points adrift of the top two with three games to go. Games in hand complicate things at the top, but Leeds know a win at the Riverside Stadium would be enough to move up to second until the weekend at the very least....
Leeds United returned to winning ways on Monday night at Middlesbrough to move back into the top two. Leeds have the opportunity to consolidate that position on Friday night when they travel to face QPR for what is their final away game of the season. A win at Loftus Road would take Leeds four points clear of Ipswich in the league table and while Kieran McKenna's side will have two games in hand by that point, the pressure will well and truly be on. Leeds can only focus on themselves, of...
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire expects clubs to follow Leeds United’s example in potentially suing Everton, who could face punishment for a third financial breach. Everton have already been deducted points on two separate occasions after being found guilty of breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR). One of those breaches came during the period in which they pipped Leeds to survive in the top-flight, with the West Yorkshire club among several...
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean admits he is rooting for Leeds United in the Championship promotion race. Daniel Farke’s side have it all to do at present with a run of just one win in five leaving them two points adrift of the current top two pace in the second tier ahead of their Monday night clash with Middlesbrough. United know that three points against Boro will be enough to see them leapfrog Ipswich Town and claim second spot. However, games in hand complicate the situation...
