Arsenal 2-1 Leeds: A decisive moment of real quality – but Mikel Arteta still has issues to address

By Total Football News

Arsenal won the league last season in part because of their excellent defence.

The Gunners conceded the fewest goals in the league but have already conceded five in six games.

The partnership of Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba is one of the best in the world and Arsenal look to be missing the injured Frenchman’s calmness.

Ezri Konsa was brought in from Aston Villa for £55m and, despite his quality,

Portsmouth: Opinion – One moment could decide Pompey’s relegation fate

By Total Football News

Was referee Josh Smith right to send Connor Ogilvie off at Fratton Park on Monday? Should Oxford’s Brodie Spencer have gotten his marching orders in the second half?

I don’t think so and probably, would be my answers but I’m not trying to re-open a debate about refereeing. I am highlighting just how tight things are at the bottom of the Championship.

Portsmouth have just six matches remaining. There is

By Total Football News

Southampton manager Tonda Eckert has been speaking to the media before their trip to West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday (19:45 GMT).

Here are the main talking points:

  • On the team receiving lots of plaudits for their FA Cup win at Fulham: “It was nice to get appreciation for the work that we and the boys have put in on the day, but since then it’s all been about getting well

Manchester United: Ruben Amorim’s big moment – are Man Utd finally ready for lift off?

By Total Football News

Amorim is right to be cautious – and United fan Frank Ilett would probably be wise not to get his hopes up that the haircut he promised himself – when the team win five games in a row – might only be three weeks away.

As highlighted by BBC Sport in the build-up to the Liverpool encounter, United have not managed a single point in two seasons from their corresponding

Leicester 0-1 Liverpool: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s enjoys iconic moment in special Reds career

By Total Football News

It took him five minutes to release the pressure valve, of sorts, that had been building as the doomed Foxes frustrated Liverpool.

The scenes that followed will be tantalising ones for any Liverpool fan who clings to the hope Alexander-Arnold will reject the advances of Real Madrid.

Could there still be a late twist in Alexander-Arnold’s long-running contract situation?

Could the wild celebrations, and the communion between Alexander-Arnold and those

Leeds United: Adonis Storr’s moment of 2024

By Total Football News

It was a disastrous run of results that set up Leeds’ greatest night of 2024.

Just one win in the last six games of last season saw the Whites fall out of automatic promotion contention and into the dreaded play-offs. They faced Norwich City in the semi-finals.

A solid display in the first leg away at Carrow Road meant the game ended goalless.

On paper, the Peacocks had the better

Ryan Hedges: Blackburn’s good form means nothing at the moment

By Total Football News

Blackburn Rovers midfielder Ryan Hedges says their recent good form will be wasted if they don’t maintain their promotion push.

Rovers go into Saturday’s Championship meeting with Luton on the back of a five-game winning streak which has propelled them up to fifth place in the table.

“We’ve been in this position before since I’ve been at this club and it came to nothing so we know that it
