The club's new owners, the Friedkin Group, moved for Moyes after dismissing Dyche just hours before Thursday's 2-0 win against Peterborough in the FA Cup third-round. Moyes is reported to have agreed a two-and-a-half year contract to return to Everton 12 years after leaving for an unsuccessful spell in charge of Manchester United. The 61-year-old Scot has bee...

DUSSELDORF, GERMANY - JULY 06: Former footballer Theo Walcott looks on during the UEFA EURO 2024 quarter-final match between England and Switzerland at Düsseldorf Arena on July 06, 2024 in Dusseldorf, Germany. (Photo by James Gill - Danehouse/Getty Images) Theo Walcott has highlighted what concerned him most with Arsenal's defeat by Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. Mikel Arteta's side have been left with a mammoth task if they want to reach the final of the competition after losing 2-0 at the Emirates in their semi-final first leg tie on Tuesday night. Goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon mean the Gunners must go to St James' Park and overturn a two-goal deficit to set up a final against either Tottenham or Liverpool. But the cup is not the only competition Arsenal have had issues i...

Arne Slot believes Alexander-Arnold form not affected by contract situation

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - JANUARY 05: Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool reacts during the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Manchester United FC at Anfield on January 05, 2025 in Liverpool, England. (Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images) Liverpool head coach Arne Slot attempted to place a protective arm around Trent Alexander-Arnold by suggesting no-one mentions the effect of contract issues when the team are winning. The England defender was criticised for a poor performance in Sunday's 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United, just days after Real Madrid made an approach for the 26-year-old whose current deal expires in the summer. Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are in similar positions but Alexander-Arnold, an academy graduate and one of their most valuable assets, has found th...

Goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi earned a sixth successive Premier League win and moved them six points behind leaders Liverpool.

(Photo by Steven Paston/PA Images via Getty Images) West Ham sporting director Tim Steidten has been told to stay away from the club's training ground by under-fire boss Julen Lopetegui, according to a report. The German's relationship with the Hammers boss has reportedly deteriorated amid the side's dismal form, which has seen them fall to within just seven points of the relegation zone in 14th place. West Ham have won only one of their past five Premier League games, a run that includes a 4-1 defeat by Manchester City and 5-0 defeat by Liverpool in their most recent fixtures. Steidten was ...

The game finished 1-1. (Photo by Ben STANSALL / AFP) Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca hinted at a push for defensive reinforcements during the January transfer window after his side were held to a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday. The Blues have failed to win their last four matches, drawing with Everton and most recently Palace on either side of defeats to Fulham and Ipswich Town. Maresca had presided over eight successive victories before a bleak run over the festive period, which has coincided with a glut of defensive injuries. While club captain Reece James has on...

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - JANUARY 04: Erling Haaland of Manchester City scores his side's third goal during the Premier League match between Manchester City FC and West Ham United FC at Etihad Stadium on January 04, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/Getty Images) Manchester City thrashed West Ham United 4-1 in the Premier League on Saturday to claim their first back-to-back wins since October thanks to two goals from Erling Haaland in one of their best performances in weeks. The champions are sixth in the table on 34 points, 11 behind leaders Liverpool who have two games in hand. "No," City boss Pep Guardiola told the BBC when asked if his team are back in the groove.

Aston Villa beat Leicester to get top-four ambitions back on track

BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND - JANUARY 04: Leon Bailey of Aston Villa celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the Premier League match between Aston Villa FC and Leicester City FC at Villa Park on January 04, 2025 in Birmingham, England. (Photo by Clive Mason/Getty Images) Aston Villa got their Premier League top-four ambitions back on track with a 2-1 win over Leicester. Villa’s quest for a second successive year in the Champions League has been hamstrung by inconsistency this season, but they kicked off 2025 with an important three points. Leon Bailey chose a good time to score his first goal of the season 14 minutes from time after Ross Barkley’s opener had been quickly cancelled out by Stephy Mavididi. Victory moved Unai Emery’s men to within four points of fourth-placed Chelsea as t...

Newcastle boost Champions League hopes after defeating Spurs

LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 4: Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United goal celebration after scoring to make the score 1-1 during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur FC and Newcastle United FC at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on January 4, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Crystal Pix/MB Media/Getty Images) Tottenham were even more depleted and Newcastle United took full advantage, though their victory in north London should have been more convincing. Illness to Fraser Forster meant a first-team debut for Brandon Austin, who joined Spurs in 2007. He didn’t do anything hilariously awful against Newcastle, so he appears to be an upgrade and should probably start over Forster moving forward. The game pretty much went just how we expected it would. Spurs had the occasional bright spark...

(Photo by Roberto Tommasini/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hopes Ben White could return to action before the end of January. White underwent knee surgery back in November to solve an issue that had been causing him discomfort this season. The right-back is recovering well and his return would be a major boost for Arsenal, who are currently also without Takehiro Tomiyasu. And asked if White could return before the end of this month, Arteta said: “It might be a possibility, but obviously he hasn’t done anything yet with the team. “The knee looks good, he has reacted rea...

New manager Rubin Amorim is already under pressure after seeing his side fail to improve following Erik ten Hag's departure, and has been dealt a big blow with two key suspensions this evening. Newcastle head to the North West full of confidence following wins over Leicester, Brentford, Ipswich and Aston Villa, but will be wary of a backlash from their hosts this evening.

(Photo by Aston Villa/Aston Villa FC via Getty Images) Aston Villa says it has failed in an attempt to have Jhon Duran's red card at Newcastle overturned on appeal. The 21-year-old Colombia international was sent off 32 minutes into a 3-0 defeat in the Premier League at St. James' Park on Thursday after appearing to stamp on defender Fabian Schar, prompting a furious reaction from Villa head coach Unai Emery, who later indicated that the club would appeal. However, Villa said Friday night that its bid was u...

Arteta says Saka will be sidelined for several months after hamstring injury

(Photo by Vince Mignott/MB Media/Getty Images) Cole Palmer generally isn’t one for lengthy, yet banal, sports-cliché-filled media interviews, but after yesterday’s 2-1 defeat at home against Fulham, he did have a few things to say when asked about the disappointment that had just transpired. Mirroring his manager’s assessment, Palmer blamed the defeat on technical issues rather than any sort of physical or fitness factors. “It’s football, it happens. We lost control for 20 minutes and they scored two. We were winning for the majority of...

The Gunners will begin a period of matches – which is likely to extend into double figures – without Saka when they host Ipswich at the Emirates on Friday. Arteta confirmed ahead of the visit of the Tractor Boys that the England winger, who has nine goals and 13 assists this season, faces “many weeks” on the sidelines after he tore his hamstring in Arsenal’s 5-1 dism...

Kyle Walker of Manchester City looks o during the Premier League match between Aston Villa FC and Manchester City FC at Villa Park on December 21, 2024 in Birmingham, England. Manchester City captain Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish have missed out on the matchday squad for today's Premier League clash with Everton. Walker was named on the bench for Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa before replacing the injured John Stones at half time. But this time he is not even in the squad as City look to halt their run of nine defeats in their last 12 matches. He is joined on the absentee list by Grealish, who played the full 90 minutes against his former club as he was booed by Villa fans over the weekend. City have stated that Walker is unwell, while Grealish has been deemed short of match fitnes...

Guardiola defends Haaland’s dip in form

Pep Guardiola has defended Erling Haaland, who has shouldered the brunt of the blame for Manchester City's dismal run.The Norwegian striker once again failed to score in City's defeat at Aston Villa, meaning he has only netted three goals in his last 12 Premier League games. He has played the full 90 minutes in all but one game during City's dismal run of form in which they have won just one match in 12, losing nine of them.Guardiola stuck up for his striker in the aftermath of their sixth league defeat of the season, stating without Haaland his side would 'be even worse'. And Guardiola doubled down on his comments on Christmas Eve, making a point of not singling out the forward in what has been his worst period in charge of the champions.'It's about us, not just one player,' said Gu...

Pedro Neto believes it is important for the Chelsea squad to take personal responsibility for maintaining high standards in matches and in training. The Portuguese winger is at head coach Enzo Maresca’s disposal again for this afternoon’s Premier League fixture away at Everton, having served his one-match suspension after accumulating five yellow cards in that competition. Having missed last week’s home win over Brentford, as the suspended Marc Cucurella will do so for today’s match, Neto revealed his excitement to be back, as he hates being unable to contribute. Furthermore, he accepts he only has himself to blame for his...
