Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta suspects there will be changes when new manager Pep Guardiola arrives during the close season but said the players are completely focussed on challenging for titles in the current campaign. City last week announced that Guardiola, currently at German champions Bayern Munich, will take over from Manuel Pellegrini as manager from July. “We need to deal with it. The club decided to announce this now after so many rumours, we really understand this. Now it’s just time to finish in the best way we can do this season,” Zabaleta told British media. “We are all…
Minnows VfL Bochum hope to pull off a massive upset by knocking Bayern Munich out of the German Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday to wreck Pep Guardiola’s dreams of winning the treble. Second-division Bochum host runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern, who plan to mark coach Pep Guardiola’s departure in May to Manchester City with the trio of German league, cup and Champions League titles. It will hardly come as a surprise, but the stats are stacked against Bochum, who have won only nine of their 73 games against Bayern, losing 48 times. It was back in 2004 that the Bavarians last lost…

The 32-year-old Ribery endured a miserable 2015 and tore a thigh muscle in mid-December in just his second game back after nine months out with an ankle injury.

With a convalescing manager, mounting injuries and fans in revolt against the club’s hierarchy, Liverpool’s preparations for Tuesday’s FA Cup replay at West Ham United have been less than ideal. A bout of appendicitis caused manager Jurgen Klopp to miss Saturday’s 2-2 draw at home to Sunderland, which saw some 10 000 supporters walk out in protest at rising ticket prices. Dejan Lovren and Joe Allen joined the ranks of Liverpool walking wounded during the game, but the biggest frustration for goalscorer Adam Lallana was the home side’s failure to hold onto a 2-0 lead. “It’s disappointing in any game,…

Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo is staying at Real Madrid for at least another two years, the forward said on Monday. The 31-year-old three-time Ballon d’Or winner was picking up an award as top scorer in Spain for last season from Spanish daily Marca when he made the comments.

Swansea City must learn to kill off teams by scoring at least two goals, goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski said as the club seek to keep out of the Premier League’s relegation dogfight. Swansea, unbeaten in four games, are yet to lose in the league under new coach Francesco Guidolin but they are fifth-bottom of the table, four points above the relegation zone.

Everton midfielder Ross Barkley should no longer be considered a young prospect but regarded as a player who can marshal and inspire his team, manager Roberto Martinez said.

Barkley made his club debut in 2011 and has not looked back since, going on to score 16 goals for the Merseyside club and earning 19 England caps since first representing his country in 2013. “(100 Premier League appearances) is a remarkable landmark for…
Stoke City players should start taking more risks to end their four-game winless streak in the Premier League, manager Mark Hughes said after Saturday’s 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Everton.

Hughes’ men have gone from fighting for the European spots in the league in seventh place, just four points off fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, to 11th in the table with just 13 games left. “We were a little bit reluctant to put balls into good areas and get…
Leicester City fan Leigh Herbert will pocket a cool 25 000 pounds ($36 000) if his team complete their fairytale run and win the Premier League title. Herbert placed a five-pound bet on Claudio Ranieri’s men to lift the trophy at the start of the season at odds of 5000/1. The Foxes are five points clear at the top with 13 games left following Saturday’s 3-1 win at Manchester City and the 39-year-old carpenter feels he is on the verge of a “life-changing” win. Herbert, who placed the bet in August while on a camping holiday, has refused bookmaker William…
