45 h. ago Diogo Jota breaks down Everton’s blue wall as Liverpool move closer to title

The 246th Merseyside derby was as much of a cathartic release for Liverpool as another step closer to a 20th league title. Arne Slot’s side cleansed themselves of recent torment against Everton and two deflating cup defeats with a hard-fought but deserved victory courtesy of Diogo Jota’s fine individual goal. A maximum of 13 points is all that is required from the remaining eight games of the season to put the Premier League trophy on display at Anfield once again.There was a determination to seize control of the derby from the start by Liverpool and, unlike the previous two encounters at Goodison Park, a composure in possession that enabled them to do so. The painful Champions League exit and deserved Carabao Cup final defeat that preceded the international break, plus of course memories of their last run-in with Everton 49 days ago, may also have fuelled the hunger and intensity of a team closing in on the Premier League title.

4 d. ago Marseille’s season is collapsing and Roberto De Zerbi is not helping

If they do not reach the Champions League – which looked certain a few months ago – the manager will pay the priceBy Get French Football NewsAnd just like that, has the magic gone? After losing four of their last five league matches, the lustre has come off Marseille’s season. Their latest defeat – a 3-1 loss against a Reims side that had not won in the league since early November – may be the worst of all of them.Their 3-1 defeat to PSG before the international break bears no shame but losing to Reims, a struggling Lens side and to Auxerre by three goals is worrying for a team who have not only invested heavily in players such as Adrien Rabiot, Amine Gouiri, Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Ismaël Bennacer, but also in a manager, Roberto De Zerbi, who they dearly hoped would be a stabilising force after a few tumultuous seasons.

6 d. ago Time running out for Watford and Argyle after Championship stalemate

A goalless draw in their final game before the clocks go forward means time is running out quicker than ever for both these teams. Rock-bottom Plymouth Argyle started brightly, weathered a storm and then nearly snatched an unlikely win at the end when substitute Muhamed Tijani shot just wide in the closing minutes.Certainly their loyal fans were the happier, but the point still leaves the gap to survival looking impossibly wide with just seven games remaining. Likewise Watford’s playoff hopes are disappearing after their stuttering 2025 form continued where it left off for the international break. Continue reading...
