Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has raised his expectations even higher after his side scored 14 goals in eight days with a 4-0 rout of Real Sociedad on Saturday.

Victory moved Barca nine points clear of eternal rivals Real Madrid, who face Eibar on Sunday, at the top of La Liga just a week after inflicting a humiliating 4-0 defeat on Los Blancos at the…

The return of Daniel Sturridge and captain Jordan Henderson were a lovely sight for Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp even if his team were far less easy on the eye in a laboured 1-0 win over Swansea City on Sunday. Both players came off the bench in the second half as Liverpool moved up to sixth in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Manchester City and Leicester City, with a nervy win courtesy of a second-half penalty from James Milner. Liverpool lacked the stylish fluency of last weekend’s 4-1 dismantling of Manchester City away, although a resolute defensive display and…
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho denied any disagreement with Diego Costa despite the striker’s unhappy reaction to being dropped to the bench for the scoreless draw at Tottenham Hotspur. Mourinho admitted the pair had argued at halftime during the mid-week Champions League victory away to Maccabi Tel Aviv and Costa’s mood at White Hart Lane on Sunday suggested he had taken his demotion badly. The Spain international failed to warm up until told to late in the game, generally looked disgruntled and at one point appeared to toss his training bib in the direction of the manager. But Mourinho said he…
Arsene Wenger insisted he does not regret risking Alexis Sanchez in the 1-1 draw at Norwich despite the impresive Chilean forward being forced off the pitch with a thigh injury. Sanchez, Santi Cazorla and Laurent Koscielny were all added to a lengthy list of long-term casualties on Sunday after a match that left Arsenal in fourth place in the Premier League table. Wenger was already without almost an entire team of stars as Mikel Arteta, Francis Coquelin, Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky are currently sidelined. Koscielny was forced off early on with a hip problem, Sanchez…
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes Swansea should go on with their under-pressure manager Garry Monk. Klopp’s side moved into the Premier League’s top six with a nervy 1-0 victory over the Swans at Anfield. The result means that Monk’s side, who were fourth at the end of August, are only four points above the relegation zone after winning just one of their last 10 league matches. That has led to suggestions that the Swansea manager’s job is under threat, despite the fact that he led them to eighth place last season – their highest league finish since 1982. “Nothing much…
Arsenal right back Hector Bellerin has tipped the club’s academy prospects to step up and cover the 10 first team players who are currently out injured. Alexis Sanchez, Santi Cazorla and Laurent Koscielny all suffered injuries in Sunday’s 1-1 Premier League draw at Norwich City, while Kieran Gibbs missed out with a calf issue to add to Arsene Wenger’s woes. The draw meant Arsenal slipped to fourth after failing to win for a third league game, but Spaniard Bellerin said there were plenty of others that could follow his path from academy to first team and keep up the pursuit…
Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard said he has returned to enjoying his football again after being benched earlier in the campaign following some scrappy performances. The Belgian led the line in Sunday’s 0-0 draw against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur after Chelsea boss Joe Mourinho dropped out-of-sorts striker Diego Costa and was clearly their best player. Mourhino said Hazard had “his best game of the season” against Spurs and hailed the return of the Belgian’s “appetite” after one of his most encouraging performances where he went close to giving his side the lead in either half. “His game was more complete, with…
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino hailed his side for doing their bit against Chelsea in Sunday’s 0-0 draw after their tiring midweek Europa League trip to Azerbaijan began to show in the second half. Spurs, who set a club record with their 13th unbeaten Premier League game in a row, started brightly against their London rivals but reduced in quality after halftime as the effects of their 12-hour round trip to face Qarabag on Thursday took its toll. “It’s always difficult to play against Chelsea and after travelling back from Azerbaijan it was an even tougher game, but I think…
Manchester City and Liverpool head the list of teams hoping for a berth in the League Cup semifinals this week as the competition reaches the quarterfinal stage without several big teams.

Jamie Vardy’s fantstic rise from non-league anonymity to Premier League record-breaker could bring in an an era where top-flight managers explore England’s lower leagues in the hope of discovering the next “hidden gem”, Manchester United’s Chris Smalling said. Leicester City’s Vardy, who became the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League games, built his career at lower league clubs Stocksbridge Park Steels, Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town. “With Jamie’s success, I think you will see clubs having a little bit more of a look in non-league for players,” Smalling told Manchester United’s website (www.manutd.com). “If you can find…

Sparking this on-going debate, Billboard released their list of the 10 greatest rappers of all time, continuing the never ending conversation on the already hot topic.
