Since Edouard Mendy lost his place and left the Blues for Al-Ahli in 2023, the opinions of who is the right man to have in goal have differed.

Enzo Maresca this season has opted to back Robert Sanchez, sending previous first-teamers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Djordje

Giorgi Chakvetadze: ‘Watford playmaker among Championship’s best’

By Total Football News

It’s that time of the year when divisional teams of the season are named and from Watford, Giorgi Chakvetadze is likely to be the only player in contention for a place in that XI.

There have been other solid performers in the Hornets squad, and a few more may have had a chance if they had been playing all season.

Luton Town expert view: Christ Makosso among reasons for resurgence

By Total Football News

This weekend’s match between Luton and Leeds is set to be a humdinger of an occasion.

The Hatters’ win at Hull and Leeds’ late heartbreak at home to Swansea has added to the mouth-watering encounter.

By Total Football News

Liverpool were close to signing a defensive midfielder in the summer, only for Martin Zubimendi to reject a move from Real Sociedad – but now it looks like they did not need him anyway.

Ryan Gravenberch, 22, only started 12 games in Jurgen Klopp’s last season at Anfield, but the all-action Netherlands midfielder has looked a different player this season and thrived under Dutch boss Arne Slot.

Gravenberch has been

West Bromwich Albion: Matt Phillips among seven to leave Baggies

By Total Football News

Analysis: Steve Hermon, West Bromwich Albion commentator for BBC Radio WM

I don’t think there are any major surprises from the released list. One of the main objectives is to get the wage bill down over the next year and it’s also an ageing group.

Phillips certainly leaves with the best wishes of the club and the fans but having been hampered by injuries, it’s the right time to part
