Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted he is unsure whether the uncertainty over his future is affecting his players on the pitch. Wenger, 67, has kept everyone guessing whether he will sign a new deal or end his over 20-year spell in charge — including his players, who he has conceded have started to ask him questions over his decision. Previously Wenger has refused to accept that the doubt over his future has impacted performances, despite the seeming correlation between his lack of announcement and an alarming drop-off in results. But, ahead of an Easter Monday clash with relegation-threatened Middlesbrough,…

With Manchester United due to host Chelsea at Old Trafford, Jose Mourinho is again concerned with the quality of his attack. His team, having been largely dominant against Anderlecht in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal, still failed to put the first leg out of sight and were punished for their profligacy by a late equaliser. Mourinho’s scrutiny in his post-match comments fell firmly upon his forwards, who will be called upon to deliver against Chelsea. The fear is that, again, they may not do so. Anthony Martial, regarded by many as the chief culprit against Anderlecht, is…
Playing Tottenham these days is a tough enough business: this was their seventh league win in a row (the first time they’ve achieved that in 50 years), a club record 12th home win in a row and they’ve only lost once in the league since December. Bournemouth didn’t help themselves by more or less conceding the game within the first 20 minutes; some careless early errors meant that this one was all over before it properly started. The final score was 4-0, but frankly it could — and should — have been more. Mousa Dembele’s first goal of the season…
“If we pay to a 19-year-old boy what we were being asked for, to sign Luke Shaw, we are dead. We would have killed our stability with financial fair play and killed the stability in our dressing room.” That was Jose Mourinho in July 2014. The Manchester United manager was producing memorable quotes about his left-back long before he reacted to the substitute’s cameo against Everton last week by suggestion it was “my brain in his body.” In 2014, Shaw was considered a prodigy: he was voted the best left-back in the Premier League by his peers, ended Ashley Cole’s…
Borussia Dortmund overcame a traumatic week to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Dortmund, victims of an attack on their team bus before Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Monaco, took just two minutes to open the scoring at Iduna Park through Marco Reus, who back-heeled the ball in following fine work in the box from Christian Pulisic. Marco Fabian equalised inside the half-hour mark with a brilliant strike in off the top of the crossbar from 25 yards, but Sokratis Papastathopoulos restored the home side’s lead in spectacular fashion a little more than five minutes later. Sokratis,…
Things are looking up for Pep Guardiola. In the late evening sunshine, against a Southampton side that had frustrated and troubled them for the better part of an hour, Manchester City stepped up a gear and took them to pieces. Goals from captain Vincent Kompany, Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero secured a 3-0 victory that, for 24 hours at least, lifts them to third in the Premier League. With an FA Cup still to play for, perhaps this isn’t going to be an entirely fruitless debut season in England for the former Barcelona boss. City are now seven points ahead…
Mauricio Pochettino has warned Chelsea that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to capitalise on any slip after Saturday’s recording-breaking victory over Bournemouth.

The Blues travel to Manchester United on Sunday, before the London rivals meet at Wembley in next Saturday’s FA Cup semifinal. “Our job was to get the three points and we got the three points. Now,…
