Pogba, 24, limped out of Manchester United’s Europa League round-of-16 victory against FC Rostov on Thursday and subsequently pulled out of Didier Deschamps’ squad. That means a first call-up for the highly rated 22-year-old Monaco man, who has caught the eye in Ligue 1 and the Champions League this season, leading to reports that United have scouted him. Monaco currently top Ligue 1, three points ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, and beat Manchester City to reach the Champions League quarterfinals earlier in the week. Bakayoko is the fifth Monaco player in Deschamps’ squad, joining Djibril Sidibe, Benjamin Mendy, Thomas Lemar and…
Fourth-placed Liverpool are currently one point adrift of Pep Guardiola’s side, while City remain level with Tottenham Hotspur, who currently lie 13 points behind leaders Chelsea. Coutinho feels Sunday’s match at the Etihad Stadium will be hugely important in the battle for the runners-up spot, and said Liverpool’s opponents will be looking to respond to their Champions League elimination earlier in the week. “It’s going to be a very important game,” he told the club’s official website. “City are one of the big clubs in England, no doubt about that, and right now we are in a race with them…
In December, Mourinho demanded “the same rules for everyone” after serving his second touchline ban of the season, covering a total of four games. Mourinho and Wenger have had a long-running verbal feud throughout their time in England, with Mourinho also saying earlier this season that he was “not surprised” that the FA had opted against charging Wenger for his suggestion that referees were “protected like lions in the zoo.” “I’m still a very happy man, capable of being emotional with a special victory. In that aspect I continue to be the same but I also understand with experience that…
“It was a typical Premier League game now, that you see a lot, where one team has a lot of the ball and the other defends deep well, waits for counterattacks and set pieces,” Wenger explained. “West Brom did that very well. We had 77 percent of possession but didn’t create enough chances.” This felt hugely predictable. West Brom average the lowest share of possession in the league, and their defensive, reactive style was even more obvious than usual here. Arsenal had 77 percent of possession, but West Brom scored 75 percent of the goals. Afterwards, it was notable that…
Tony Pulis’ side carried out their game plan to perfection and Arsenal simply could not find an answer. After the match, Wenger intimated he knows what he will do at the end of the season; on this evidence, there can only be one outcome. It’s genuinely difficult to find anything positive to say. Some Arsenal fans might take some comfort from the fact that another defeat will force the managerial issue to a head, but it’s impossible for most supporters to see a loss as a good thing. Negatives? Where to begin? Arsenal were appalling at The Hawthorns, notably when…
Just because City was outclassed by a thrilling young Monaco side that made up a two-goal first-leg deficit to win the 6-6 aggregate tie by virtue of having scored far too many times at the Etihad, doesn’t mean the most celebrated manager of his generation has lost his mojo. Leaving aside Antonio Conte, there has been no bigger media darling in the Premier League than Mauricio Pochettino, who despite the weight of a half century of history has somehow made Spurs relevant again. Was the Argentine deemed a fraud because Tottenham were swept aside twice by Monaco in the group…
The Manchester City manager has come under criticism following his side’s Champions League exit to Monaco on away goals on Wednesday. The Spaniard is in danger of finishing the season without a trophy for the first time in his managerial career with the FA Cup being City’s only realistic hope of silverware this season. But Guardiola, who won 21 trophies combined during his time in La Liga and the Bundesliga, feels that record is the reason why he is seen to be under-performing at the Etihad. “I think exceptional for all the managers around the world is that sometimes during…
Wenger would not confirm what that decision was but the Frenchman is under increasing pressure with Arsenal’s season on the brink of collapse after six defeats in the last nine matches in all competitions. The Gunners lost again on Saturday, a 3-1 defeat at West Brom leaving them in fifth place in the Premier League and five points adrift of the Champions League qualification spots. It led to Wenger being asked questions again regarding his future — with his contract set to expire at the end of the season — and he replied: “I know what I will do in…
An 87th-minute strike from Gary Cahill settled a heated match in favour of Chelsea after Jonathan Walters had cancelled out Willian’s first-half free kick from the penalty spot, but a prominent subplot was the running battle that raged between Costa and numerous Stoke defenders. The Spain international was booked on 17 minutes for dissent after one tussle that left him on the floor, but improved in the second half and even struck the post as Chelsea threatened to extend their lead in the final minutes. “It is not simple to get a yellow card after a few minutes,” admitted Conte,…
After Newcastle United (1997), Manchester United (1998), Chelsea (2004) and Arsenal (2015), it was Manchester City’s turn to be eliminated on Wednesday at the Stade Louis II. And let’s not forget that Tottenham Hotspur were also beaten twice in the group stages by the team from the Principality. City were left bruised by this incredible young side, the best offensive armada in Europe this season with 126 goals scored already in all competitions. Leicester City will know who to avoid in the draw on Friday. L’ASM are in the Champions League quarterfinals for the second time in three seasons under…
A Chibok girl who escaped from Boko Haram captivity has called on the world not to give up in rescuing her friends, the remaining school girls in the terrorists’ grasp. The girl, under the pseudonym Sa’a, made the plea during the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. “These girls are human beings, not something that we can forget about,” BBC quotes her as saying. “How would you feel if your daughter or wife was missing? Not one day or two, but three years. It’s very painful. “I remember those girls, but their dreams are now no…
The Federal High Court in Abuja has returned OPL 245, an oil block, to Shell Nigeria Limited and ENI. Presiding judge, Justice John Tsoho, had on January 26, revoked the companies’ ownership of the oil block based on a motion by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The EFCC had asked the court to temporarily return OPL 245 to the government while it continued its investigation of alleged corruption in the sale of the block. However, Shell and ENI challenged the ruling and urged the court to reverse it because the rights of the parties to fair hearing was…
Dr Peregrino Brimah, a social commentator has alleged that the widely reported cabal in Aso Rockis responsible for President Buhari’s ‘hasty’ return from London. According to Daily Post, Brimah said the cabal forced Buhari back to London so they could wield influence. You will recall that the Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, in a leaked memo to Buhari also spoke about the so-called cabal. El-Rufai said “Mr. President, there is a perception that our government has been captured by a shadowy public service/PDP cabal such that we have won elections but the country is still run largely by these…

Arsenal lost goalkeeper Petr Cech to a calf injury in the first half and Sanchez was then hurt in a tackle by James McClean shortly before half-time. Sanchez, who had scored Arsenal’s equaliser, played on after the break but was taken off in the 78th minute. “He stayed on but in the second half he was not himself,” Wenger told Sky Sports immediately after the game. “He just limped so I decided to take him off. And his ankle doesn’t look good.” Later he added: “He was injured from the tackle in the first half. It was a bad tackle.…
The 22-year-old made just one United start since Mourinho replaced Louis van Gaal in the summer and joined Lyon in a deal worth around €25 million (£21.7m) in January. However, the Dutchman insists he has no bad feelings towards his former coach. “I have no bitterness towards Mourinho,” he told beIN Sport. “I did what I had to do in training. Of course, I didn’t understand his choices, but he was the boss. I had to accept those choices. I think I was not good enough for him. But it’s okay, I’m showing my quality here. “I’ll be back to…
Chelsea’s march towards the Premier League title continued as they extended their lead to 13 points thanks to Gary Cahill’s 87th-minute winner at Stoke. They had a tough assignment in the Potteries, made all the more difficult due to Eden Hazard’s absence through injury, but Cahill, who had earlier given away a penalty, smashed in late on in a 2-1 victory at a venue where a November loss last season had seen the Blues slip to 16th. Willian had given them the lead here with a free kick only for the Potters to draw level through Jonathan Walters’ penalty in…
