Manchester United vs Fulham FA Cup Preview Fulham to qualify Muniz to score Defending FA Cup champions Manchester United will be aiming to keep their title defence alive as they host Fulham in the fifth round of the competition at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim’s side progressed controversially against Leicester City, while Marco Silva’s Cottagers narrowly edged past Wigan Athletic in the previous round. Despite United’s struggles in the league, they have a strong recent FA Cup record, winning their last 14 consecutive fifth-round ties since being eliminated by Liverpool in the 2005-06 season. However, Fulham arrive in fine form, winning four…
Premier League Title Race: What Are Arsenal’s Chances As March Starts Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes took another hit as they failed to capitalise on crucial opportunities, following up a shock 1-0 home defeat to West Ham United on Saturday with a frustrating 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Liverpool took full advantage of Arsenal’s setbacks, further strengthening their position at the top of the table. A comfortable 2-0 victory at home against Newcastle United extended their lead to 13 points. However, it is worth noting that Liverpool have played one match more than Arsenal, leaving the door slightly open…
Bournemouth vs Wolves FA Cup Preview Bournemouth to qualify Both teams to score A place in the FA Cup quarter-finals is up for grabs as Bournemouth and Wolves lock horns at the Vitality Stadium just a week after their closely contested Premier League clash. Both sides secured 2-0 wins in the fourth round, with Bournemouth overcoming Everton and Wolves eliminating Blackburn Rovers. However, while Andoni Iraola’s Cherries have never progressed beyond the quarter-finals in their FA Cup history, Wolves—four-time winners of the competition—are aiming to reach the last eight in consecutive seasons for the first time since the 1990s. After…
Matchday 27 Awards We can agree that it’s done, right? Arsenal have drawn against Nottingham Forest (and, for the second time running, we were correct in our predictions to stay away from that or to go with a draw or Forest to win), while Liverpool did not have much trouble in beating Newcastle at home. So now the Reds are 13 points clear of second place having played a game more. It’s very hard to imagine them bottling the title now. Chelsea have managed to finally get a win, albeit over almost-relegated Southampton, while Brighton beat Bournemouth to improve their…
West Ham vs Leicester Report Scorers: Soucek 21’, Vestergaard (OG) 43’ West Ham United earned a routine 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Leicester City at the London Stadium, claiming their first head-to-head victory over the Foxes since August 2021. The defeat piles more pressure on Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has now overseen 11 losses in his last 12 Premier League matches. Souček Capitalises on Leicester’s Defensive Frailties Leicester arrived in East London with the second-worst defensive record in the league, and it was no surprise when their vulnerabilities were exploited just past the 20-minute mark. West Ham’s opener came via Tomáš…
Liverpool vs Newcastle Report Scorers: Szoboszlai 11’, Mac Allister 63’ Liverpool tightened their grip on the Premier League title race with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at Anfield, extending their lead over Arsenal to 13 points. The Reds also maintained their remarkable scoring run, netting at least twice in 18 consecutive home matches in all competitions. Szoboszlai Strikes Early as Liverpool Dominate The big pre-match news revolved around the absence of Newcastle’s top scorer, Alexander Isak, sidelined with a groin injury—a setback that further complicated an already challenging fixture for Eddie Howe’s men. Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Arne Slot served…
Tottenham vs Manchester City Report Scorers: Haaland 12’ Manchester City secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium, moving back into the Premier League top four while avoiding a third defeat of the season against Ange Postecoglou’s side. Erling Haaland’s first-half strike proved to be the difference in a game where City dominated early but had to withstand significant second-half pressure from Spurs. City’s First-Half Dominance Goes Unrewarded With Chelsea leapfrogging them into fourth following their 4-0 demolition of Southampton, City entered the game under pressure to respond. They did just that in the first 45 minutes,…
Manchester United vs Ipswich Report Scorers: Morsy (OG) 22’, De Ligt 26’, Maguire 47’; Philogene 4’, 45+2’ Red Card: Dorgu 43’ Manchester United fought back from adversity to claim a dramatic 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town at Old Trafford, securing their first Premier League win in four matches despite playing the entire second half with 10 men.

Early Chaos as Ipswich Strike First Ipswich set the tone early, pressing high and capitalizing on a defensive mix-up…
Brentford vs Everton Report Scorers: Wissa 45+4’; O’Brien 77’ Brentford’s wait for a home Premier League win in 2025 continues as they let a first-half lead slip to draw 1-1 with Everton, extending their winless head-to-head run against the Toffees to six matches. The result sees Thomas Frank’s side lose further ground in the battle for European qualification, while Everton’s impressive unbeaten run stretches to seven games, all but securing their top-flight status for another season. Bees Start Brightly But Pickford Stands Firm Brentford’s home form at the start of the season was among the best in the league, but…
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Report Scorers: N/A Arsenal’s Premier League title bid took another hit as they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at the City Ground by Nottingham Forest, a result that leaves both teams with plenty to worry about. While Forest continue to cling onto third place despite their poor recent form, the Gunners have now failed to win back-to-back league games, potentially falling further behind in the title race. Cagey First Half Lacks Cutting Edge With Arsenal missing a recognised striker and Forest struggling to find consistency, the match began with both sides hesitant in attack.…
