Man City
So Liverpool took total control of their Champions League last eight tie with Benfica, whilst Manchester City crept over the line against Atletico Madrid. Both teams won, that is fact, yet the second leg for each will be offering much different scenarios for their respective managers. Liverpool have delved into full rotation mode, essentially since […]

Manchester City soon reclaimed that position, with a routine win against Burnley. This coming week will now see two crucial games follow that game against Watford, as […]

The gunfight at the O.K Corral is an historical moment that has been retold many times over, throughout various western movies.

In the early noughties, it was Arsenal and Manchester United; then Chelsea and United; Liverpool and Ferguson’s side followed briefly, before the rise of Pep […]
Can you think of a more high-profile, damaging injury to a Liverpool player than Virgil van Dijk’s at Everton?

To concede seven goals — and, on balance, it could have been even more — away to a team who just about managed to survive in the Premier League last season was arguably the […]
