Carlo Ancelotti has shared his reaction to reports that Chris Wilder will step down from his post as Sheffield United manager. According to reports from BBC Sport, Wilder is set to leave his role on Friday. The Blades are currently bottom of the Premier League and are likely to get relegated with 10 games left to play. After almost five years in charge and taking the club to the Premier League from League One during that time, Wilder’s time at the club appears to be over. This is what Ancelotti has said today about his possible sacking: “When I arrived last season, Sheffield United was above us. They were fighting for Europe, and it was unbelievable for a team that came from the Second Division. “I think the job he has done was fantastic, but today he will be the club of the managers...
The 2020/21 Premier League season continues this weekend, with some intriguing EPL fixtures scheduled over the next four days. The action gets underway on Friday evening as Newcastle United go head-to-head with Aston Villa at St James’ Park. The early kick-off on Saturday is at Elland Road, with Leeds United facing Chelsea. The Blues will be without Tammy Abraham and Thiago Silva, with manager Thomas Tuchel confirming they are sidelined with injuries. There are three other games later the same day, with the clash between Fulham and Manchester City the pick of the bunch. Fulham have given themselves a great chance of avoiding relegation, but they could have their work cut out against the champions-elect. The Sunday line-up features a quartet of matches, headlined by the north London derby b...
Crystal Palace could compete with Burnley in the race to sign Sheffield United midfielder John Lundstram this summer, a report from The Mirror claims. The 27-year-old was hugely impressive in his maiden Premier League season with the Blades last term, registering five goals and three assists from 34 outings. However, he has not been able to replicate the performances this term with only two assists from 23 appearances, and the same can be said about the rest of the squad. The Blades are currently 12 points adrift of safety with only 10 games left, and they appear on course to be relegated to the Championship next term. Amidst this, Lundstram has shown no indication that he could extend his contract, which expires in June, and he may be available on a free transfer this summer. Burnley are ...

The 2020/21 Premier League season rumbles on this weekend, with some eye-catching EPL fixtures scheduled over the next few days. With Manchester City looking nailed on to win the title, attention has switched onto the battle to qualify for Europe.

The introduction of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system in 2019 was heralded as a massive step forward for the Premier League. The days where controversial decisions were made were supposed to become a thing of the past, and football would be a better place for it. However, the reality has proved to be much different, with barely a week going by without some VAR-related nonsense occurring in England’s top flight. Whether it’s diving going unpunished or penalties not being given, VAR has not cleaned up the mistakes many thought it would have upon introduction. We’ve waded our way through the list of VAR decisions in the Premier League to pick out 10 of the most contentious since it was introduced. Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool – October 2019 Liverpool were unstoppable during the 2019...

According to Eurosport, Aston Villa are keeping an eye on the situation of Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge ahead of the summer transfer window and are the early favourites to land him. The Norway international has been out injured since last December following surgery to a tendon injury, and he could be put up for sale at the end of the season if Chris Wilder’s side fail to beat the drop. That is a big ask at the moment as the Blades are 20th in the Premier League and 14 points off safety. Berge joined the club from Genk for a club-record fee of £22 million last January and would be keen to remain in the top-flight should they go down. Villa could do with the quality of the Norwegian in the middle of the park next season as manager Dean Smith looks to further strengthen his option...
