English Premier League is in its most difficult period as a result of the hectic schedule.

Three players who could bid farewell to Old Trafford in January — 2
Marcos Rojo The 28-year-old is no doubt a very good defender but his time at Old Trafford may be as good as over. The team have been very leaky at the back since the start of this season, they've conceded more goals than they did throughout last season. Solskjaer must add at least one world-class centre-back to his defensive setup in January if he must qualify for next season's Champions League competition. For him to complete a move for any defender, the former Molde's manager must sell one of his centre-backs in January and the Argentine … [Read more...]

Is Emery’s training method responsible for Arsenal’s injury crises?
Injury is part of football as you would hear many pundits and managers say, but it is abnormal when it becomes rampant and frequent like we are experiencing at the Emirates stadium.

England international Danny Welbeck has been ruled out of the … [Read more...]
Liverpool and Arsenal stars in intense battle for the prestigious award
Liverpool were 2-0 winners over Wolves last week Friday as they established a four-point lead at the top of the League standings. Goals from in-form striker Mohammed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk were enough to win it for the Reds. Salah's goal was his 11th of the season and he's on the right path to reclaiming the Premier League's golden boot which he won last season after scoring 37 goals in all competitions. However, the Egyptian forward should be wary of his fellow African star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the race for the highly regarded … [Read more...]

Forget the 5-1 victory over Cardiff, It is too early to praise Solskjaer!
Manchester United scored five goals for the first time this season and it's coming days after the club parted ways with José Mourinho. Prior to Mourinho's dismissal, the Red Devils often concede the first goal in most of the matches played in the season and they always labour hard to salvage a point. However last night's display was in total contrast to what we've seen all through this season. Solskjaer, who replaced the Portuguese manager as an interim manager last week Tuesday, seemed to have changed the player's mentality and he has made … [Read more...]
