3 d. ago Premier League buildup, Barcelona return to Camp Nou and more – matchday live

⚽ Latest news and previews as Premier League resumes⚽ Fixtures | Tables | Check out the talk | Mail matchday liveThe talk at Chelsea’s pre-match Premier League press conferences was Cole Palmer’s freak accident at home, resulting in a broken toe and further delaying his much-anticipated comeback from his recent groin injury.Chelsea visit Burnley in today’s lunchtime kick-off, and Enzo Maresca hoped the 23-year-old would be available for Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Barcelona or next weekend’s home game against Arsenal. The head coach confirmed that would no longer be the case but confirmed the unusual incident would not keep the forward out for too long.It can happen. I wake up many times during the night to go to the toilet. I hit my head, my legs, my everything, so it can happen.The last time I saw him was yesterday morning, and he was without socks, without flip-flops, he was without nothing. He was working OK. The problem is that it’s a small toe, so the contact with...

4 d. ago ‘He keeps a clear head’: how Slot’s last slump offers blueprint for Liverpool revival

Coach’s assistant in tough time at Feyenoord sees parallels with issues his former boss needs to deal with at AnfieldJust over five weeks after Arne Slot’s Feyenoord had lost a tight Conference League final by a goal to Roma in 2022, they suffered a 7-0 home defeat by Copenhagen in their first pre-season friendly. Some of the Dutch club’s internationals were on holiday, seven of their starters from the final would leave that summer and Copenhagen were well ahead in preparations, but even so, the scoreline was bruising. It felt as if Slot had to start all over again.“I can remember it like yesterday,” says Marino Pusic, Slot’s assistant at Feyenoord and earlier at AZ. “The score could have been even higher – that says enough.” Copenhagen’s then coach, Jess Thorup, described it as more akin to “a training session than an actual friendly match”. Two weeks later a stronger Feyenoord side lost 4-0 to the Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise. Then came home defeats by Lyon and Osasuna. Conti...

1 week ago Scotland lose in Greece but Denmark stumble takes World Cup qualification to decider

The most extraordinary upshot of an extraordinary evening was that Scotland’s dream of qualifying automatically for the World Cup remains alive. Steve Clarke has Belarus to thank for that, their surprise claiming of a draw in Denmark leaving Scotland in precisely the position they had sought before this clash with Greece. If Scotland beat Denmark in Glasgow on Tuesday, they will top this section.The dust might just have settled on this fixture by then. Scotland trailed by three at one point before hauling themselves back into proceedings against a Greek team who finished with 10 men. Greece’s win by the odd goal in five was a merited one but, after a silent wait for full time in Denmark to arrive, the Tartan Army celebrated. Clarke and his Scotland players did not seem to know how to act, which was totally understandable. For all the shortcomings laid bare here, the spirit summoned was quite striking. Clarke’s task in the coming days is to combine that with far more assuredness, esp...
