When Carrick is now expected to be removed as Man United boss as Tue morning update emerges
Manchester United may sack Michael Carrick as soon as a replacement is secured, according to The Guardian. The Red Devils are reeling from a 3-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth and an eight‑game winless streak across all competitions. Former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe emerges as the leading candidate, with United facing roughly £3 million in compensation plus a modest fee for his staff if they hire him. Director of football Jason Wilcox backs Howe, while Julian Nagelsmann and former Bayern coach are also in the mix. Carrick could depart by week’s end, just days before United’s clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool now eyeing move for powerful former Man City star, Nagelsmann considers him 'world-class'
Liverpool are scouting Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha after his strong World Cup 2026 showing, with Germany international praised as a "world‑class" box‑to‑box player by Julian Nagelsmann. While Nmecha, who has two goals in seven league games, is on Liverpool's backup list, the Reds prioritize Lamine Camara as their primary midfield target. Camara, the Senegalese deep‑lying playmaker, offers the defensive anchor Liverpool lack, allowing Dutch star Ryan Gravenberch to thrive in a more advanced role. Alex Scott remains a secondary option, but injury concerns limit his appeal.
'Arteta likes what he sees' - Arsenal desperate for 18yo sensation to become a success story due to Brexit impositions
Arsenal are set to give 18‑year‑old Northern Irish forward Ceadach O’Neill his competitive debut in the Carabao Cup fourth‑round against Fleetwood Town after Mikel Arteta praised his maturity and quality. The academy’s top scorer last season (18 goals in 30 games) has already featured in pre‑season friendlies, scored in a closed‑door MK Dons match and was on the bench for the Champions League win over Lille. With Bukayo Saka out and Christos Tzolis recovering, O’Neill could fill an attacking void, fulfilling Arsenal’s post‑Brexit push for home‑grown talent.
Every word Harry Kane said about Spurs in his Ballon d'Or acceptance speech
Harry Kane captures the 2026 Ballon d'Or and uses his acceptance speech to salute Tottenham Hotspur, thanking the club’s coaches and fans for shaping his dream. The former Spurs captain, who left in 2023 after netting 280 goals in 435 matches and becoming the club’s all‑time top scorer, beat Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal for the award. Kane’s standout year saw 61 goals and seven assists for Bayern Munich, a domestic treble, and six goals as England finished third at the World Cup. He dedicates his triumph to Spurs, Bayern, and supporters worldwide.
Sensational Chelsea star with 'clinical finishing' signs new contract until June 2029, he already has 10G/A this season
Chelsea announce that 18‑year‑old academy prodigy Chizaram Ezenwata has signed a new contract through June 2029. The forward has dazzled in the club’s youth set‑ups, netting 15 goals and providing seven assists in 21 U18 matches and earning a spot in the Cobham Next Gen squad. He debuted in Premier League 2 against Manchester City in 2024/25 and was nominated for U18 Premier League Player of the Season. Internationally, Ezenwata scored a hat‑trick at the U17 World Cup and added three goals for England’s U19s during the recent break. Chelsea view him as a future first‑team contender.
Arsenal plot surprise move for Champions League hat-trick hero, €50m star already has 12 goals this season
Arsenal are eyeing a January swoop for Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi, who has already netted 12 goals this season, including a hat‑trick against Inter Milan. With the Gunners tied on 21 points at the top of the Premier League but lacking firepower from Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres, Tresoldi’s seven league goals in nine games make him an attractive option. A fee of around £42 million (€50m) is reported, after Roma’s £30 million bid was rejected. The move could reunite him with former teammate Christos Tzolis, who joined Arsenal last summer.
Arsenal star now suffers broken bone in confirmed injury blow
Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi suffers a broken nose after a clash with Everton’s Thierno Barry, forcing him off the pitch with heavy bleeding. He finished the match with tissue in his nostril and will need a protective mask before returning. The 27‑year‑old, who hasn’t started a Premier League or Champions League game this season, now faces a risk of missing Arsenal’s Carabao Cup fourth‑round tie against Fleetwood Town tomorrow and the league clash with Liverpool on Sunday.
Man Utd dealt blow as star seen at OT yesterday currently at Carrington this morning for treatment due to injury
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes visits Carrington for treatment on October 26, 2026, after playing through an injury last month. He was a late warm‑up substitute, entering at the 58th minute against Bournemouth, and Michael Carrick’s earlier claim that he was fully fit appears premature. Fernandes, who hasn’t started since May 4, 2025, has lost possession over 100 times this Premier League season, and United have gone winless in their last eight games. The injury update could impact United’s struggling campaign and the mounting pressure on Carrick.
Bruno Fernandes now makes his feelings clear after Carrick dropped him from Man Utd starting XI yesterday
Bruno Fernandes sits out Manchester United’s 3-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth after Michael Carrankick leaves him off the starting XI. United trailed 2-0 at halftime and conceded a third in the 71st minute, despite Fernandes warming up. The Portuguese midfielder, who previously blamed Carrankick for United’s 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como, vents his frustration on social media. With United winless in eight league games and only two victories in 12 across all competitions, Carrankick’s job hangs in the balance ahead of the upcoming Chelsea clash.
Palace eye surprise move for 'fantastic' coach who is 'very difficult to play against' to replace Sage, 55yo has been out of a job for eight months
Crystal Palace may fire Pierre Sage after a 2-0 loss to Newcastle and target Sean Dyche as a surprise replacement, The Telegraph reports. Sage has won just 2 of 8 Premier League games (D1, L5) and sits one point above relegated Nottingham Forest, where Dyche was sacked in February after a brief stint. Dyche, 55, is praised for making teams “very difficult to play against” and boasts a decade at Burnley, including promotion twice, six‑year top‑flight stay and a 7th‑place Europa League finish in 2017/18, plus a relegation‑battle rescue at Everton. Palace also list Thomas Frank and Vítor Pereira as candidates.
'I'll be absolutely over the moon': Arsenal star desperate for England recall for impressing Tuchel with 7/10 display vs Everton
Arsenal defender Ben White is pushing for an England recall after a standout 7/10 display in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Everton on Oct. 26, 2026. He set up Gabriel Magalhês’ 68th‑minute goal and has registered three assists in seven Premier League matches this season. With England manager Thomas Tuchel watching from the Emirates, White hopes his performance secures a spot in the upcoming Nations League squad against Croatia and Spain. After a turbulent international spell—including a 2022 World Cup exit, a mixed friendly against Uruguay and a knee injury that cost him the Champions League final—White says a recall would make him “absolutely over the moon.”
Why Carrick has dropped Bruno Fernandes from Man Utd starting XI today
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick benches Bruno Fernandes for today’s Premier League clash with AFC Bournemouth, opting for Bryan Mbeumo instead. Carrick cites tactical reasons as United seek to snap a seven‑game winless streak. Fernandes, criticised for his lackluster form and a public gripe over tactics after a 4‑1 Champions League loss to Como, has struggled to create chances and has lost possession repeatedly. The decision comes amid intense pressure on Carrick, whose early‑season results have put his job at risk. A win could revive United’s fortunes, while a defeat might seal Carrick’s fate.
Crystal Palace predicted XI vs NUFC: Sage starts 'intelligent' defender to add experience, while 29yo leads the line
Crystal Palace host Newcastle United at Selhurst Park, aiming for a first‑ever back‑to‑back Premier League wins. Manager Pierre Sage, under pressure after conceding 17 goals in seven games and a 5‑0 loss to Brighton, may reinstate “intelligent” defender Axel Disasi to steady a leaky back line. Dean Henderson is on the cusp of returning from a foot injury, while striker Jean‑Philippe Mateta leads the attack. Newcastle, coached by Matthias Jaissle, seek to halt a slide with four goals conceded in their last two away defeats. Palace’s predicted 3‑4‑2‑1 includes Walter Benitez, Chris Richards and Dwight McNeil.
Predicted Sunderland XI vs Leeds: Hat-trick hero set for first PL start in nearly two months as 31yo veteran with 334 apps anchors defence
Sunderland host Leeds United at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, desperate for a win after slipping to bottom of the Premier League with just four points from seven games. Manager Regís Le Bris could revive his squad by starting hat‑trick hero Brian Brobbey, who has not started in the league since his two‑goal burst against Manchester City two months ago. The defence will be anchored by 31‑year‑old veteran Luke O’Nien, a 334‑appearance stalwart, alongside Omar Alderete, Reinildo Mandava and Nordi Mukiele. With Kevin Danso suspended, the predicted 4‑2‑3‑1 includes Robin Roefs in goal, midfield pair Noah Sadiki and Granit Xhaka, and forwards Trai Hume, Habib Diarra and Enzo Leé Fee supporting Brobbey.
Leeds United predicted XI: Farke starts very 'capable' star in attack, 29yo ace will support him
Leeds United travel to Sunderland on October 25, aiming to snap a seven‑match winless streak. Manager Daniel Farke hopes the side, which has 10 points from seven games, can turn recent encouraging displays into a win at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland sit bottom with just four points but boast three home clean‑sheet victories. Injuries sideline Dominic Calvert‑Lewin, Anton Stach, Noah Okafor and Joe Rodon, while Daniel James returns to training. The predicted 3‑4‑2‑1 lineup features Lukas Nmecha leading the attack alongside Harry Wilson, with James Trafford in goal.
5/12 passes, 0/4 crosses - Chelsea star endured his worst game in Blue vs Spurs, he was absolutely tortured
Chelsea fall 2-0 to Tottenham at Stamford Bridge as defensive lapses and tactical missteps dominate the night. Young left‑back Josh Acheampong endures his worst Chelsea outing, completing just five of 12 passes, no crosses and losing possession 12 times while trying to contain Mathys Tel. The loss is compounded by a red card for Cole Palmer, an own‑goal by Mike Penders and João Pedro’s pre‑match injury, leaving the Blues without firepower and exposing serious defensive frailties.
Liverpool now making serious moves to sign this La Liga winger, PL rivals sent scouts to watch him
Liverpool are ramping up their pursuit of Valencia winger David Otorbi, reportedly ready to meet his €30 million release clause after his breakout season of ten La Liga appearances. Valencia, however, aim to extend his contract to 2031 and double the clause to €60 million to keep the academy star, who follows in the footsteps of Villa, Silva and Mata. The Reds, still missing a right‑flank partner for Salah, aren’t alone; Newcastle scouts have also watched Otorbi. The tug‑of‑war highlights Liverpool’s urgent need for a new winger.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Iraola to return 'special talent' to familiar role as 27yo star makes back-to-back PL starts after injury scare
Liverpool eye a top‑four push as they host Brighton on Sunday, hoping to extend a three‑game winning run sparked by a 4‑3 Champions League thriller over Villarreal. Sitting fifth with 12 points, they trail Brighton by four and need a win to keep pace with Manchester City and Arsenal. Manager Andoni Iraola may restore Ryan Gravenberch to a deeper midfield role, while 27‑year‑old Alexander Isak, back from a thigh injury, is set for back‑to‑back Premier League starts after five goals in six games. Predicted lineup: Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Nyoni, Mac Allister; Barcola, Wirtz, Ngumoha; Isak.
Predicted Brighton XI: Hurzeler to ring the changes after midweek setback with 24yo star set for first PL start in over two months
Brighton head to Anfield on October 25, 2026, riding an eight‑match unbeaten run (W6‑D2) that includes wins over Arsenal and Crystal Palace. Manager Fabian Hurzeler is likely to restore a settled back four of Ferdi Kadioglu, Lewis Dunk, Luka Vuskovic and Oscar Boscagli, with Bart Verbruggen in goal. Midfield will feature the Pascal Gross–Chem Andres duo, while 24‑year‑old Georginio Rutter returns for his first Premier League start in over two months, possibly replacing Yasin Ayari at number 10. The attacking line stays anchored by Charalampos Kostoulas, flanked by Maxim De Cuyper and Diego Gomes. Brighton have won only once in their last nine trips to Liverpool, but their current form makes the Anfield clash anything but routine.
'Magic' - Spurs star delivers unforgettable performance vs Chelsea, it was his best game since January 2025
Tottenham Hotspur beat Chelsea 2-0 on October 24, 2026, moving further from the relegation zone. Defender Mike Penders own‑goal gave Spurs the lead, and 21‑year‑old winger Mathys Tel sealed the win with a solo strike, his best performance since joining in January 2025. Tel recorded two key passes, 33 of 39 passes completed, five dribbles and five progressive carries, showing why he deserves a regular spot as Savio remains injured. The win marks Spurs’ second consecutive league victory after a six‑game winless run.
Predicted Newcastle XI: Jaissle to restore 'really valuable' star to the line-up as £51m ace drops out after five-game drought
Newcastle United aim to halt a slump on Sunday at Crystal Palace after three defeats in four games. Manager Matthias Jaissle, who began with an unbeaten five‑match run, now faces defensive frailties highlighted by a 4‑1 loss to Coventry and a dip in scoring to just one goal per match in the last four fixtures. The Magpies sit 11th in the table, two spots above a Palace side eager to notch back‑to‑back wins over them. Jaissle’s predicted 4‑2‑3‑1 includes goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek, a back four of Miley, Thiaw, Botman and Hall, midfielders Nico Gonzalez and Joelinton, and a revived attacking line featuring Jacob Murphy, William Osula, Harvey Barnes and Yoane Wissa.
Chelsea 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur: Hapless Blues punished for lacklustre display as Spurs end Stamford Bridge nightmares
Chelsea fall 0-2 to Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, marking only their second home league loss to Spurs in 37 meetings and ending a six‑game unbeaten run. A rain‑slick pitch sees Tottenham dominate possession, and a rare own‑goal by Chelsea keeper Mike Penders gives Spurs the lead. After Cole Palmer’s red card reduces Chelsea to ten men, Mathys Tel caps the win with a late finish. The result lifts Tottenham to 12th with their first away win of the season, while Chelsea now face tough fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester United.
Nicolas Jackson brace secures 2-1 win for Aston Villa over Manchester City as Unai Emery's side extend unbeaten run to seven games
Nicolas Jackson nets a brace to give Aston Villa a 2‑1 victory over Manchester City at Villa Park, marking Villa’s first Premier League home win of the season and extending their unbeaten streak to seven games (W6, D1). After an early goal from Jackson, City equalise through Erling Haaland, but Jackson’s second strike under Gianluigi Donnarumma restores the lead. Goalkeeper Zion Suzuki makes multiple crucial saves, including a cross‑bar tip from Josko Gvardiol, as Unai Emery’s side hold out to snap City’s run of seven straight league wins.
Arsenal boost as injured trio spotted on team walk this morning ahead of Everton game
Arsenal get a morale boost ahead of today’s Premier League clash with Everton as three previously injured players join the team walk. Defender Piero Hincapié, midfielder Martin Zubimendi and youngster Max Dowman have all recovered from recent ankle, warm‑down and toe injuries, respectively, and could be available for selection. With Bukayo Saka sidelined for weeks after a quad strain, Arteta will likely rely on the likes of 16‑year‑old Noni Madueke to fill the gap. Everton, who have lost only once in seven league games, pose a tough test for the Gunners.
Aston Villa predicted XI: Emery starts 'positive' ace at the back, but 20yo star drops to the bench despite breakout performance
Aston Villa host Manchester City on Saturday at Villa Park, with both clubs entering in good form – Villa unbeaten in seven across all competitions but still seeking their first home Premier League win, and City on a seven‑match league streak. Emery’s predicted 4‑2‑3‑1 includes a backline anchored by Victor Lindelof and Pau Torres, while 20‑year‑old star Alysson drops to the bench as captain John McGinn returns on the right flank. Injury concerns linger for Amadou Onana, Aaron Wan‑Bissaka and others, and midfielder Boubacar Kamara partners Joao Gomes. The Villans aim to turn European momentum into a domestic victory.
