Starting with the hosts, while Manchester City might still be facing an uphill struggle if they re to defend their Premier League crown in 2023, Pep Guardiola s side are riding a recent wave of momentum. Last seen over the weekend eventually picking up a 1-0 victory away at Crystal Palace, the English heavyweights have now won each of their last four domestic matchups on the bounce. Although the former Barcelona boss might have been disappointed after his squad had to settle for a 1-1 draw out in Germany for their first-leg meeting on February 22nd, the Sky Blu…

Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte had particular praise for Dejan Kulusevski s  big impact from following a dominant win over Southampton.

A 4-1 victory in north London on Saturday marked Spurs biggest opening-day victory since beating Aston Villa 3-0 in August 1986.

Kulusevski was the star of the show, assisting Ryan Sessegnon s equaliser before adding his own name to the scoresheet in the second half, taking his impressive Premier League record to six goals and nine assists in 17 matches.

He crafted three chances for team-mates and finished with a hugely impressive 92.1 per cent passing accuracy, while also making four tackles – proof of his ability to work back defensively.

Dejan made a big impact but also last season. He and Rodrigo [Bentancur]…

Giacomo Bonaventura scored the only goal of the game as AC Milan made it 10 matches unbeaten in all competitions with a 1-0 Serie A win over Sampdoria.

The Rossoneri have experienced a significant upturn in fortunes under Gennaro Gattuso and they dominated an eventful contest at San Siro.

Ricardo Rodriguez saw a seventh-minute penalty saved, but Milan were not punished for his profligacy and Bonaventura netted what proved to be the decisive goal six minutes later.

But the remaining 77 minutes were filled with incident, Milan seeing a Leonardo Bonucci effort ruled out for offside while Hakan Calhanoglu struck the crossbar.

A lifeless Sampdoria team did not offer a genuine threat until Gianluca Caprari squandered a late chance to equalise and seventh-placed…

New Chelsea manager Antonio Conte believes he can help the likes of Eden Hazard reach the level of the world s best.

The 2015-16 season was a campaign to forget for Chelsea, who finished 10th in the table as they surrendered their Premier League crown to Leicester City.

Hazard was significantly off the pace compared to the previous title-winning season, when he won numerous individual accolades, though the Belgium star did end the term with four goals in his final five matches.

And Conte, who oversaw a 2-0 defeat to Rapid Vienna in Saturday s opening pre-season friendly, insists Chelsea have men who can become top, top, top players .

These players, with work, can still improve a lot, said Conte. Because now we have players, fantastic players, who have …

Manchester City s Vincent Kompany has refuted claims he fouled Fernando Torres in the box late in his team s 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win over Chelsea.

The Belgium defender appeared to tug the shirt of the Blues striker inside the penalty area as Rafa Benitez s side mounted a comeback during the closing minutes of the Wembley encounter, with Torres insinuating that referee Chris Foy needed glasses.

But Kompany denied it was a penalty and said he did everything right in the challenge.

I thought it was great defending, he told ITV Sport. I put my body in the way, I did everything I could. He pulled, I put my body in the way this is football. It was a well fought game and not easy for both teams.

The victory sees City s bid to regain the trophy they last won …

Fiorentina striker Giuseppe Rossi is nearing a comeback from a nightmare time on the sidelines with a knee ligament problem.

Rossi moved to Florence from Villarreal in January despite not having played competitive football since October 2011, and he is now finally nearing a return to first-team action and a long-awaited debut.

The striker s agent Andrea Pastorello revealed the Italian international could make an appearance for Vincenzo Montella s side before the end of the season.

Giuseppe is finally out of the tunnel, Pastorello told Radio Blu.

Maybe there will be time for him to debut, but you have to consider that he has been sidelined for a year and a half.

He really likes Florence, he gets on with his new team-mates and he has settled in …

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola handed Phil Foden a first Premier League start of the season in Sunday s clash at Arsenal.

Midfielder Foden has made seven league appearances for City this season but all had come from the bench before his promotion at Emirates Stadium.

The 19-year-old s inclusion came as one of four changes made by Guardiola to the side which lost the Manchester derby last weekend as Nicolas Otamendi, Bernard Mendy and Ilkay Gundogan were also recalled.

John Stones, David Silva, Bernardo Silva and Angelino were the players to make way.

Foden told Sky Sports: It s the hardest league in the world, so to get a start means everything. I have to keep proving myself and showing what I can do on the pitch. I am confident in my ability…

Newcastle United are lining up a £10m bid for Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin, according to the Metro.

The North East club are keen on securing a deal for the England U21 international, and believe that completing such a deal could help them in their attempts to lure ex-England manager Steve McClaren from Championship promotion hopefuls Derby County.

Austin, who was playing non-league football just six years ago is on the verge of a full international call up after impressing in QPR’s fight for survival, with seventeen goals in twenty-nine Premier league appearances.

Since moving to Loftus Road from Burnley in the summer of 2013, the 25 year old has racked up sixty-seven appearances in total, scoring thirty-seven goals and his seventeen in the …

Former Premier League player Delroy Facey has been jailed for two and a half years after being found guilty of conspiracy to commit bribery.

Facey, 35, was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on Wednesday alongside semi-professional player Moses Swaibu, 25, who was sent down for 16 months.

A Daily Telegraph investigation revealed in November 2013 that a ring of individuals, including Facey, were responsible for attempting to fix games in the lower leagues of English football.

It follows the conviction of three men in June 2014 in connection with the same matter.

A National Crime Agency (NCA) statement said of the betting ring:  Their meetings, conversations and messages built up a picture of a concerted effort over seven days to engage and corrupt …
