Sergio Aguero made a welcome return to first team action in Gameweeks 20 and 21, scoring against both Southampton and, more crucially, against Liverpool.

While Yannick Carrasco’s most celebrated performance came in the 2016 Champions League final when, having come on as a second-half substitute, he scored the goal which took the match to extra time before Atletico Madrid were overcome by fierce rivals Real for the second time in two years, Arsenal fans may remember him from a […]

In recent weeks Liverpool have suffered a centre-back injury crisis with Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren all picking up complaints during the festive period.

Before picking up an injury against Burnley at the beginning of December, Joe Gomez had outlined himself as Jurgen Klopp’s first-choice deputy to star centre-back Virgil Van Dijk. Against the Clarets however, the up-and-coming defender sustained an ankle fracture which saw him miss out the bulk of the congested festive period. He has been sorely […]

In school sport, there is often a guideline where matches are stopped when the scoreline becomes so one-sided that tears are a distinct possibility. This had exactly the same feel: cold hands, broken spirits, sheepish celebrations. A football match mixed with mercy killing. This was the first ever competitive meeting between Burton and Manchester City. […]

Tuesday marked the 13-year anniversary of one of the most memorable matches in Burton Albion’s history. On 8 January 2006, the then-non-league side held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw in the third round of the FA Cup. It was a fantastic achievement by Nigel Clough’s men, who did not disgrace themselves despite losing the […]

Jurgen Klopp made nine changes to his Liverpool side from the team which lost to Manchester City last week for the FA Cup third round tie against Wolves.

Mauricio Pochettino struck a discordant note before the first leg of Tottenham’s League Cup semi-final against Chelsea. “I hope, or I wish to be here 20 years, and decide to leave or to finish my career here,” he said when asked about his future at Spurs for the umpteenth time this season. “I am so […]
