Stoke City 0-0 Preston North End: Potters’ frustrating run continues

By Total Football News

Stoke have lost a significant amount of momentum, with six defeats in their past nine games, and there was frustration inside the ground at the final whistle after another home game delivered so little.

Preston, whose manager Heckingbottom was watching from the stands as he served a touchline suspension, had the better of the early chances, with Thierry Small’s effort at the end of a lovely flowing move smothered brilliantly

Southampton 3-2 West Bromwich Albion: Armstrong’s double continues Eckert’s fine start

By Total Football News

West Brom academy graduate Tom Fellows showed the Baggies just what they are missing since his £10m summer switch to Southampton as he created the opening goal.

Fellows turned and ran three quarters of the pitch before finding Scienza on his right, who scored expertly into the far corner.

As fluent as Southampton were, West Brom didn’t help themselves and they gifted Saints a second when Callum Styles played the

Wrexham news: Max Cleworth’s ‘mad’ journey as promotion dream continues

By Total Football News

With Wrexham just three points adrift of the top six ahead of next Saturday’s trip to play-off chasing Preston North End, the 2025-26 season could well be another memorable one for the north Wales side.

Having been a key cog in each of his side’s three consecutive promotions under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Cleworth knows better than most that the sky is the limit for the club

Ipswich Town 1-1 Watford: Imran Louza continues fine scoring form

By Total Football News

Watford captain Imran Louza scored for the fourth time in as many games as his side frustrated Ipswich Town to secure a draw at Portman Road.

Midfielder Louza slotted home to hand the Hornets an early lead before Jaden Philogene’s emphatic finish levelled matters.

Ipswich created more opportunities, the best falling to substitute Ivan Azon who headed wide and was then denied by a desperate stop from Watford goalkeeper Egil

Newcastle: Tino Livramento out for eight weeks and wait for Yoane Wissa debut continues

By Total Football News

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says Tino Livramento’s eight-week recovery forecast is “good news” but the wait for Yoane Wissa’s debut will be “slightly longer”.

Defender Livramento previously suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during his time at Southampton, leading to fears of a prolonged spell on the sidelines when the full-back was stretchered off during Newcastle’s defeat by Arsenal at St James’ Park on Sunday.

The 22-year-old subsequently missed out

Nottingham Forest: Ange Postecoglou’s nightmare start continues

By Total Football News

The statistics would appear to suggest Postecoglou has already made Nottingham Forest more attack-minded than they were under Nuno.

In the Portuguese coach’s three Premier League games in charge of Forest this season before he was sacked, his side had 31 attempts on goal, while in Postecoglou’s three league fixtures so far – which includes an away game against Arsenal – they have had 44 attempts.

They key is turning

Man City 2-1 Aston Villa: Pep Guardiola continues to solve Manchester City puzzle

By Total Football News

Sometimes there is no need to say anything.

When you are as expressive on the touchline as Pep Guardiola, visual evidence can be enough to gauge the importance of an occasion.

In Tuesday’s 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, there was a long period of simmering discontent, then thinly disguised fury at the penalty given against his team after referee Craig Pawson had been told to stop the game to check

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle: Alexander Isak ‘the best striker in the league’ as hot streak continues

By Total Football News

Isak himself was quick to praise his Magpies colleagues after Saturday’s victory – their sixth in a row in all competitions.

Aside from Isak’s goals, Sandro Tonali’s deep-lying role alongside midfield team-mates Joelinton and Guimaraes has been pivotal to Newcastle’s resurgence, as has the form of Gordon, Murphy and left-back Lewis Hall.

Martin Dubravka has deputised admirably for injured first-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope, while Sven Botman – who was such

Portsmouth 4-0 Swansea City: Pompey out of drop zone as fine home run continues

By Total Football News

Portsmouth climbed out of the Championship’s bottom three thanks to a thumping victory over Swansea City.

Josh Murphy’s crisp first-time finish gave the hosts a 22th-minute lead, before Paddy Lane poked home the second seven minutes later.

Swansea briefly threatened to mount a comeback after the break, with Josh Tymon going closest when he rattled the woodwork, but Ryley Towler’s header eased any Portsmouth nerves and Cyrus Christie’s error allowed
