Everything you need to know about the English professional league; who's on top, who's been traded, and what teams are dropping the ball.

Is Oliver Glasner Really Swapping Crystal Palace for Manchester United?
Let’s be honest, the football manager carousel is one of the most entertaining, albeit predictable, rides in the entire sport. One minute a manager is the second coming of Sir Alex Ferguson, the next they’re packing their bags faster than you can say “vote of confidence.” The latest name to get a first-class ticket on this rumor mill is none other than Crystal Palace’s own Oliver Glasner.

No Nerves Against Newcastle
Newcastle vs Arsenal has seen some of the most controversial games in recent Premier League memory. Penalties, goals, cards, off ball antics, the lot. Newcastle have enjoyed more success in these fixtures too, in recent times. The previous three fixtures at St James Park have seen Newcastle come out victorious, which includes an EFL Cup tie that actually saw the Geordie's beat the Gunners at the Emirates. While both sets of sides were missing players, Arsenal perhaps edged that particular struggle. The stage was set, Arsenal had a chance to capitalise on Liverpool's surprise defeat to Crystal Palace and close the gap to just two points.

Graham Potter Sacked: Did West Ham Expect a Miracle?
Well, color everyone surprised. West Ham United, in a move that absolutely no one saw coming (if you ignore the writing on the wall, the sky, and every fan forum), has sacked head coach Graham Potter. The official reason? A “poor run of results” that has the club cozily nestled in 19th place in the Premier League. The unofficial reason? It seems expecting a manager to conjure wins out of thin air with a squad in disarray has its limits.

Premier League Predictions GW6
Another weekend of football is fast approaching and teams should be more settled in. Liverpool still lead the pack, with the North London clubs faltering at the weekend to grant Liverpool some distance. Bournemouth and Crystal Palace maintain their excellent starts to the season taking fourth and fifth place respectively. At the other end of the table it's relatively unchanged with Wolves, Aston Villa and West Ham making up the bottom three.

Passive at Port Vale
The least glamorous of the domestic competitions, but it is a trophy that can be won and something we desperately need to take seriously. The benefit of the squad overhaul this summer is that our second string team is still very strong, it did have a spattering of regular starters, but the lineup was filled with those who don't often start. Port Vale were in decent form heading into this clash having won three of their last four, but they still find themselves 19th in League One. League position means very little in cup competitions as we saw Manchester United bow out to Grimsby in the previous round. A home fixture with a large crowd could trouble any top flight team that rock up expecting an easy game.

Asia Cup 2025: Irfan Pathan Urges India to Play Arshdeep Singh Alongside Bumrah vs Pakistan
In the 2025 Asia Cup, India opted for a somewhat unconventional approach to their playing XI by including only one specialist fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. To balance the team and strengthen batting depth, Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube were deployed as fast-bowling all-rounders. This strategy provided India with eight reliable batting options, allowing the team to field a deep line-up that could adapt to different match situations. However, while the approach offers clear batting advantages, it comes with potential risks, particularly with the weather and pitch conditions in the UAE. Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has voiced concerns over this strategy, emphasizing that it might become risky if dew plays a significant role in matches. With the Super Four clash against arch-rivals Pakistan scheduled for September 21, Pathan believes that dew could make it challenging for captain Suryakumar Yadav to effectively utilize the team’s three spinners. According to him, having a second specialist fast bowler in the form of Arshdeep Singh could provide a crucial safety net in such scenarios.

Pep Guardiola Backs Haaland to Break Cristiano Ronaldo’s Goalscoring Record
Erling Haaland continued to make history as Manchester City secured a 2-0 victory over Napoli in the Champions League on Thursday, further cementing his status as one of the most prolific strikers in modern football. The 25-year-old Norwegian striker achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the fastest player in Champions League history to reach 50 goals, accomplishing this feat in just 49 matches. Haaland opened the scoring in the 56th minute with a clever header, expertly assisted by Phil Foden, demonstrating his impeccable positioning and finishing instincts. This achievement surpassed the previous record held by Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who reached 50 Champions League goals in 62 games.
