Premier League predictions: Chris Sutton v grime stars Footsie & Strategy

By Total Football News

Arsenal were really good against Paris St-Germain on Wednesday, and I was impressed by how brave they were, but they still went out of the Champions League.

There will be Gunners fans out there who will think they should be winning more trophies than they have managed under Mikel Arteta, who has still not added to the FA Cup he lifted in his first season, 2019-20.

Arsenal are still heading

Wolves 3-0 Leicester City: Matheus Cunha stars in Premier League win as Jamie Vardy misses a penalty

By Total Football News

Matheus Cunha inspired Wolves to blow away Leicester as the in-form hosts recorded a sixth consecutive Premier League victory.

The striker scored one and made goals for Jorgen Strand Larsen and Rodrigo Gomes as Wolves made it six straight top-flight wins for the first time since 1970.

Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa saved Jamie Vardy’s second-half penalty as the Foxes’ goal woes continued.

It means the striker remains on 198 goals

Kevin de Bruyne: The questions around Man City star’s departure

By Total Football News

Pep Guardiola and technical director Txiki Begiristain.

When he talks about contracts, Guardiola usually says it is a ‘club’ decision and passes on responsibility to those above him. On this occasion, he is owning it.

“It was not easy for me to tell him it won’t continue,” Guardiola told the media at his scheduled pre-match news conference before Sunday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

That statement reinforces De Bruyne’s own

Premier League predictions: Chris Sutton v Bank of Dave 2 stars Rory Kinnear and Dave Fishwick

Old Trafford, 20:00 GMT

I have a lot of admiration for Manchester United’s performance in their FA Cup win against Arsenal, especially to grind it out with 10 men for an hour after Diogo Dalot was sent off.

But these next three games, at home against Southampton, Brighton and then Rangers, are a very different test for them compared to their trips to the Emirates Stadium and Anfield in the

Norwich City 2-1 Millwall: Oscar Schwartau stars in Canaries win

By Total Football News

The anxious final few minutes seemed unlikely after a one-sided first period.

Marcondes’s scrappy opener – his third goal in eight games – settled Norwich, and their constant pressure told five minutes before the break when more indecisive defending allowed Schwartau time and space to double the lead.

Millwall, whose only win in their past eight games came when they beat Blackburn Rovers under interim manager David Livermore on Saturday,

Coventry City 2-1 Hull City: Mason-Clark stars as Lampard’s men win

By Total Football News

The first half was largely dominated by Coventry until two minutes before the break when Abu Kamara’s cross to the far post found Ryan Longman, whose close range header came back off the upright, only for Pedro to bury the rebound from eight yards for his third goal in nine games.

Given Hull’s away record against Coventry, having won and drawn two of their previous eight visits to the stadium,

Chelsea 3-0 Aston Villa: Cole Palmer stars as Unai Emery’s troubles continue

By Total Football News

Cole Palmer shone in a comfortable Chelsea win over an Aston Villa side whose worrying winless run extended to eight matches.

Nicolas Jackson gave Chelsea a seventh-minute lead, squeezing a first-time finish past Emi Martinez after Marc Cucurella forced Jadon Philogene into a mistake on the edge of his own box before crossing.

Enzo Fernandez then volleyed in the second in the 36th minute.

The Argentina midfielder finished with his

Bristol City 4-0 Plymouth Argyle: Anis Mehmeti stars for Robins

By Total Football News

The Robins started the game well with some big chances for Nahki Wells and Zak Vyner but neither were able to steer their efforts on target.

Just after the half-hour mark Argyle keeper Daniel Grimshaw was called into action and made three consecutive saves to deny the Robins.

The home side thought they had taken the lead just before the break as Mehmeti’s strike was saved by Grimshaw, with Wells

Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest: Saka stars as Gunners end winless run

By Total Football News

Arsenal got their title challenge back on track by beating Nottingham Forest to secure a first win in five Premier League matches.

The Gunners’ form has dipped in recent weeks amid a tough fixture schedule and a number of injuries, which meant Mikel Arteta’s side were nine points behind leaders Liverpool before kick-off on Saturday.

Arsenal dominated from the outset at Emirates Stadium and Bukayo Saka gave them the lead

Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Stoke City: Johansson stars in Potters win

By Total Football News

Blackburn head coach John Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire:

“That was probably one of the best performances I’ve seen since I’ve been here given the number of chances we’ve had, but obviously we’ve got to defend better for the two goals.

“The lads played with a lot of confidence so not to win the game was disappointing but we are doing a lot of good things. At the end of
