Aston Villa Team News at Club Brugge: Leon Goretzka, Joao Gomes, Brian Madjo
The League Phase of the UCL is here, and with it, a couple of interesting omissions from the Aston Villa roster.

Chip Kelly is the Star of the 2026 Northwestern Football Team

Bills Mafia on the Road: Why Buffalo Fans Travel So Well
Some fan bases travel. Bills Mafia relocates. That might be overstating it a little, but watch enough Buffalo Bills road games and you start to understand the argument.

Manchester United Predicted XI at Everton: Noussair Mazraoui Could Replace Luke Shaw
Luke Shaw deservedly took a ton of heat, after he got totally schooled on Ipswich Town’s opening goal last Sunday, so one wonders if he should get the drop now?

Manchester United Team News at Everton: Joshua Zirkzee, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw
When Manchester United visits Everton on Sunday it will be a matchup where one specific player, Joshua Zirkzee, came very close to being in the opposite dugout, earlier this week. That’s because Everton pursued Zirkzee over a potential loan move, as a fallback option, once their potential deal for AS Monaco’s Folarin Balogun fell apart.

Tottenham Team News vs Nottingham Forest: Maddison, Savio, Mudryk, Adarabioyo
