]]>Could Arsenal still make the Champions League places?
Under normal circumstances, a team in tenth place, ten points adrift of the top four with 15 games to go, could probably stick their passports away for the following season, safe in the knowledge that they wouldn’t be playing in Europe’s elite competition. However, things are a little different this season, the campaign in which nobody wants to qualify for the Champions League, with all the main contenders tossing around points like confetti. You can purchase online Premier League Tickets from our website, around the world to enjoy its terrific performances.
Arsenal, therefore, is in with a chance. But only if they beat Chelsea on Tuesday, and that’s in the words of their manager. “It’s very, very important for us to win this game to fight for [the top four],” Mikel Arteta said this week
Can Chelsea do something about their inconsistency problem?
Following Chelsea, this season has been, at the very least, entertaining. It has been since the end of October anyway: since then, a run lasting 19 games in all competitions, they have only registered the same result in consecutive games once, and that was the back-to-back victories against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup and Burnley in the league at the start of this month. Otherwise, they haven’t managed to string two wins together, not even two draws or two defeats.
The most obvious explanation for that is their talented but incomplete and inexperienced squad: with that, this sort of inconsistency is perhaps inevitable. But it’s still a concern: Chelsea’s grip on the fourth place has loosened with this inconsistency, and if Frank Lampard wants his side to be sure of a spot in the Champions League, he has to get them winning like they were in the autumn.
Could Sheffield United get something against Manchester City?
It was slightly unusual to see Chris Wilder display even a hint of an inferiority complex, but when he was asked about his Sheffield United side’s prospects against Manchester City, he puffed his cheeks out and chuckled, as if he was the manager of a plucky lower league side drawn against them in the FA Cup.
But Wilder will know that City are vulnerable: they’ve already dropped more points in 23 games this season than they did in the whole of the last term, beaten already by brave minnows like Wolves, Norwich and Manchester United.
So, there’s no reason why Wilder’s Blades can’t get something from the visit of City. Wilder might have been cautious in public, but you can guarantee he will be filling his players with the confidence to beat their stumbling behemoth opponents.
Adama Traore
The one pinprick of light for the other 19 teams in the Premier League used to be Liverpool’s inability to keep a clean sheet. In their first 15 games, they only kept their opponents out on two occasions, but in the subsequent seven fixtures they haven’t let in a single goal: the last time Liverpool conceded was on December 4, to Everton, some 675 minutes of football ago. They’re an utterly absurd team, now at both ends of the pitch.
So, it will need something pretty special to breach their backline: a step forward probably the most exciting non-Liverpool player in the Premier League at the moment, Adama Traore. Wolves’ resources are stretched sugar paper-thin at the moment but their lack of depth is currently being compensated for by brilliance in the players they do have available, most notably Traore who inspired their comeback win at Southampton on Saturday. If anyone is going to break Liverpool down, you fancy it will be someone like Traore.
The game you’re not planning to watch…but should
Leicester v West Ham
Even with Leicester’s new lofty position in the top four, the prospect of this match doesn’t quicken the pulse. But it will be interesting just to see whether Leicester’s recent results and performances represent a blip or something more serious. You can perhaps forgive dropping points against a resurgent Southampton or away to a Burnley side who will always provide a stiff test. But if they don’t win at home to West Ham, for whom the new manager shine from David Moyes’s return has already firmly dimmed, then there could be more significant problems afoot.
The Team That Needs A Bit of Luck
Newcastle United
Steve Bruce doesn’t need any luck at the moment when it comes to results (although the win over Chelsea was their first victory in four), but he could do with some gods of fate looking upon him a little kindlier as far as injuries are concerned. Jetro Willems was the latest to fall lame, out for the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury, while Paul Dummett has also been ruled out for a long spell and Fabian Sachar is only just coming back from his injury sustained just before Christmas. Newcastle could just do with all of their important players staying upright at the moment.
Notable Stats of Midweek Matches
Arsenal and Chelsea will play for the 200th time across all competitions, with Arsenal leading the series with 77 wins (65 for Chelsea) and 57 draws.
Tottenham have been held scoreless in three consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since November 2013.
Manchester United have a 10-game unbeaten streak vs. Burnley (6-0-4), with their last loss to the Clarets coming in August 2009.
Liverpool’s 64 points through 22 matches are the best start ever in Europe’s Top 5 leagues.
One Thing That Will Happen
Troy Denney will score against Aston Villa
Perhaps it’s because of the Birmingham City tattoo that adorns his chest, but Troy Deeney seems to light up at the very thought of playing Aston Villa: he’s faced them three times in his career so far, and has five goals to show for it. He bagged a brace against them a few weeks ago, and given Watford’s uptick in form and Villa’s assorted fragilities, a bet on him finding the net again looks like a pretty safe one.
Predictions
Crystal Palace 2-2 Southampton
Aston Villa 1-2 Watford
Bournemouth 0-0 Brighton
Everton 2-0 Newcastle United
Sheffield United 1-1 Manchester City
Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal
Tottenham 2-1 Norwich City
Leicester 1-0 West Ham United
Manchester United 2-0 Burnley
Wolves 1-3 Liverpool

Arsenal has confirmed that Sead Kolasinac and Reiss Nelson will both miss the clash against Chelsea on Tuesday night. You can purchase online Premier League Tickets from our website, around the world to enjoy its terrific performances.
The pair missed the 1-1 draw against Sheffield United at the weekend, and will again be absent as Mikel Arteta’s side travel to west London.
The Gunners have confirmed that Kolasinac is still recovering from the left thigh strain that kept him out of their Emirates clash with the Blades, while Nelson is out with a hamstring problem.
Both are expected to return to full training during the winter break, meaning they will also miss the clash against Burnley on 2 February.
Sokratis was also left out of the side on Saturday after suffering from illness, but Arsenal confirmed that the Greek defender will be assessed ahead of the midweek clash. With Kieran Tierney still in rehabilitation after his shoulder problem, Bukayo Saka is again set to deputies at left-back against Chelsea.
The teenager started against Sheffield United on Saturday, and Gunner’s boss Mikel Arteta was full of praise for his performance.
Arteta talk
“I think he could (have a future at left-back) because he’s willing to learn, he is applying himself the big time he is someone that has never played (that position) before but he’s really trying to do it as well as possible,” Arteta said.
Elsewhere, Arsenal could make changes in attack for the Chelsea clash, after Eddie Nketiah returned to the Arsenal squad at the weekend. After being recalled from his loan spell at Leeds United, the striker was set to be sent out to another Championship club, but after watching him in training, Arteta opted against sending Nketia on another short-term deal.
Speaking to reporters, Arteta admitted that the forward has a chance of featuring from the start at Stamford Bridge. We will assess who is in the best conditions to play in who is training well and we’ll make the decision based on that.

]]>Swiss international Xhaka has come in for criticism from the Arsenal fans following a disrupted season at the Emirates Stadium where he was stripped of the captaincy
Will he stay or will he go?
Granit Xhaka’s future at Arsenal is up in the air.
The Swiss international was heavily linked with a move to the Bundesliga before the January transfer window opened, with Hertha Berlin keen to tie up a deal for him. New Gunners head coach Mikel Arteta wants him to stay, however, saying: “I don’t want him to leave. I’ve said to the club no. Football fans from all over the world can buy online Premier League Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.
“I had a conversation with him and I wanted to understand his feelings first, the reason why he was thinking here probably wasn’t the right place to continue his career,” said Arteta.
“I gave him my opinion, my perspective, and I told him that I was ready to support him from the club perspective.
“I wanted his team-mates to get his back and help him to change his mind because we need him. I believe that if we were able to do that the fans would respond in a positive way.”
Not for the first time in his Arsenal career, Xhaka was lucky not to be red-carded during the FA Cup third-round win over Leeds United on Monday night.
And his actions on the pitch drew criticism once more from former Liverpool star Danny Murphy.
Speaking on TalkSport, Murphy even made the claim that Xhaka would be better off signing for Liverpool than staying at Arsenal.
He said: “If you play midfield you can’t keep making the same mistakes and expect not to be criticized.
“I can’t doubt his passion, his work ethic, but when you run around headless and don’t think about what you’re doing you’re going to keep getting booked and you’re going to keep being a liability for your team. He doesn’t learn, he lets the passion get the better of him.
“For Arsenal to move forward and be a team that Arteta wants to compete, I don’t think you can carry midfielders like that.
“Xhaka is one-paced. If he was in Liverpool’s side with [Jordan] Henderson and Fabinho, he would look a hell of a player because he’s technically good, a good passer, he can open you up, he’s got the ability with a great left foot.
“But when you’re in a team that’s struggling a little bit he’s a passenger defensively and liability it’s a dilemma for Arteta.”

]]>The latest transfer news and gossip from across the Premier League as Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, and Liverpool look to strengthen in the January window
We are into the second week of the January transfer window and clubs across the Premier League and Europe are already planning their moves.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham fans will all be hoping their teams are busy in the market, with the Blues looking to strengthen their hold on the top four, while the Gunners will be desperate for reinforcements to boost their ailing season. Football fans from all over the world can buy online Premier League Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.
Jose Mourinho and his Spurs side will want to continue challenging for those Champions League places, but they will perhaps be looking for some defensive additions to do so.
West Ham will also be scouring the market, after appointing David Moyes as their new manager.
The Scot will surely want to bolster his squad to ease any relegation worries.
Here are the latest gossip and live updates ahead of the opening of the transfer window.
Inter make Eriksen statement
Milan chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed that the Serie A giants have had no contact with Christian Eriksen about a January transfer.
The Tottenham star has been heavily linked with a move away from north London, with his contract set to expire this summer at Spurs.
As such, he is now free to speak with other clubs in Europe about a possible free transfer, with the Dane now in the final six months of his contract.
But amid speculation that a move to Italy could be on the cards, Marotta has spoken out on the situation regarding the Tottenham man, who he described as an “interesting player.”
Speaking to Sky Italy, he said:
Eriksen? It’s not a done deal and we’re not in contact with Tottenham.
He’s a fantastic player and there here are many clubs in talks to sign Eriksen because he’ll be a free agent. I can just say he’s an interesting player.
Modric in talks over MLS move
According to The Athletic, Real Madrid midfielder, Luka Modric has held talks with MLS side DC United, where Wayne Rooney spent last season.
United eye Maddison
According to Sky Sports, Manchester United are keen to sign Leicester City midfielder James Maddison but are aware that a deal to bring the England star to Old Trafford would be highly difficult to complete this month.
Aubameyang says he is committed to Arsenal
Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says he is “committed” to the club, despite rumours after his future.
Inter switch targets
According to the Mirror, Inter Milan have made a £20m bid for Tottenham star Christian Eriksen, but manager Antonio Conte would prefer to sign Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal.
Dembele ‘accepts’ decision on Chelsea transfer
Chelsea has reportedly been dealt a blow in their attempt to sign Moussa Dembele from Lyon.
The 22-year-old is the French side’s top scorer this season, with 14 goals in all competitions.
The young striker has been linked with Frank Lampard’s side, with Lyon recently taking the unusual measure of releasing a statement saying that they want to keep the striker for “seasons to come”.
With Lyon’s other attacking star Memphis Depay also ruled out for the rest of the season, the Telegraph (via the Star) state that Dembele has accepted that he will not be leaving the club in the January transfer window.
However, he is said to be “desperate” for a move in the summer.
Everton lead Spurs and Arsenal in Rabiot chase
Arsenal and Spurs are said to have taken “concrete steps” towards signing Adrien Rabiot from Juventus.
The North London sides have been linked with the 24-year-old for some time, but Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival at Everton means the Toffees are now the frontrunners to sign the midfielder.
According to Corriere Dello Sport, Everton is “especially” keen, and are willing to pay €5m (£4.25m) to secure a six-month loan for the former PSG star, with an option to buy in the summer.
Juve is still not convinced on an exit for the French star, who has only been in Serie A for six months.
Tuttosport, meanwhile, states that Everton is ‘insisting’ on paying €30m for the midfielder in January.
Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs eye defender
Liverpool, Chelsea, and Spurs are all said to be monitoring Brighton defender Ben White, who is currently on loan at Leeds.
Sky Sports state that the three Premier League clubs have all scouted the center-back recently.
However, there is apparently no break clause in his loan deal, so a move for the 22-year-old in January is unlikely.
Spurs eye Man United wonderkid
Spurs are reportedly chasing Manchester United’s young defender Junior Nkwonta.
The youngster is apparently set to leave United and has been offered trials by a number of Premier League clubs.
However, All Nigeria Soccer states that the center-back has agreed to train with Spurs ahead of a potential deal.
How close is Jose Mourinho to raiding his former side…?
Spurs consider Lemar offer
Spurs are said to be considering a loan offer for Atletico Madrid attacker Thomas Lemar.
The winger would cost around €6m (£5.1m) on an initial six-month loan, and there would apparently be an option to buy worth €60m (£51m) inserted into the deal.
The Independent states that the player is keen on an exit from Madrid in January after falling out of favor with Diego Simeone.
Lemar has also been linked to Arsenal, with Spurs’ rivals said to be following the situation.
Nketiah to make a choice
Eddie Nketiah is said to be close to choosing his next club as he spends the second half of the season on loan away from Arsenal.
Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City are all said to be in contention to sign the striker, with the Athletic stating that he will be deciding his next move today.
Arsenal is said to be adamant that whichever side wins the race for Nketiah gives him plenty of game time for the rest of the season.

]]>The force would not provide figures relating to the number of reported incidents of racial abuse from football fans across London last season
The Metropolitan Police have rejected a freedom of information request relating to how many incidents of racist abuse in the capital’s football stadiums were reported to the force during the 2018/19 season. Football fans around the world can buy online Premier League Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.
England:
While a dozen other police forces across England have confirmed a significant rise in reports of racial abuse, the Met said that they would not calculate the number of reported incidents under their jurisdiction for cost reasons.
More than 300 games were policed by the force last season and they said that it would exceed either the 18-hour or £4,500 cap to compile the exact figures.
There have already been several racist incidents involving London’s Premier League clubs in 2019/20.
On New Year’s Day, a Brighton supporter was arrested for racially abusing Chelsea players, Spurs and the Met are continuing to investigate after Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger reported hearing monkey noises from the stands during the London derby before Christmas while a Blues fan was arrested after abusing Son Heung-min in the same game.
Last month a young West Ham United supporter was sent on an education program having been arrested for racially abusing Crystal Palace players in their recent meeting at the London Stadium.
Racism has marred games lower down the pyramid, too, with October’s FA Cup fourth qualifying round tie between Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town abandoned after the North London club’s players walked off because of abuse from traveling supporters.
The game ended up being replayed, with Yeovil advancing to the next round. Four men were arrested after the game and a police investigation continues.

No Ajax move for Vertonghen
According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Ajax will not make a move for former defender Jan Vertonghen because the Tottenham defender would cost too much in wages.
Arsenal enter race for Ake
According to The Telegraph, Arsenal is ready to join the race to sign Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake.
The Dutch center-back is reportedly also wanted by the former side Chelsea.
Villa target Batshuayi
According to Foot Mercato, the serious injury to Wesley could force Aston Villa into a January move for a striker.
The report claims Villa are planning a loan move for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi, with a view to a permanent deal in the summer.
Spurs join race for Lemar
Tottenham have also joined the race for Thomas Lemar, who joined Atletico from Monaco for £63million in July 2018.
That is according to Foot Mercato, who claims that Tottenham does not have the funds for a January transfer so are hoping to take Lemar on loan for the rest of the season with an option to buy in the summer.
Man United eye English duo
According to The Independent, Manchester United has made Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish and Leicester midfielder James Maddison their top transfer targets for January.
Pogba latest
According to the Sun, Manchester United is determined to sell Paul Pogba, with Real Madrid his most likely destination.

And below we take a look at the latest updates and rumours that have emerged over the past 24 hours. Football fans from all over the world can buy online Premier League Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.
Arsenal chasing Meri Demiral
Arsenal is among a number of clubs chasing Juventus defender Merih Demiral. According to Fotomac (via Sport Witness ), Arsenal, AC Milan, Atletico Madrid and Schalke are all trying to sign the 21-year-old, with the most serious interest coming from Mikel Arteta’s side.
Villa eye Sturridge
Aston Villa is set to battle Marseille for ex-Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge, according to MailOnline.
Sturridge left the Reds in the summer and joined Turkish club Trabzonspor, where he has scored four goals in six starts so far this season. The £22million summer signing Wesley Moraes was taken off with a suspected twisted ankle in yesterday’s win over Burnley meaning manager Dean Smith is short of options at the top end of the pitch.
Inter join race for Eriksen
Inter Milan are the latest club to express an interest in signing Christian Eriksen – with the Tottenham playmaker now free to negotiate a deal with clubs overseas.
The 27-year-old is expected to leave Spurs when his contract expires in the summer, with Manchester United continually linked with the Dane.
But in the last few days, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus have also emerged as options for Eriksen, while the Daily Mail is now reporting that Inter is hoping to capture the midfielder either now or in the summer.
Wolves set to sign new forward
Wolves are in talks to sign striker Leonardo Campana from Ecuadorian side Barcelona SC.
The 19-year old starred at last year’s South America U20 Championship where he top-scored with six goals and is likely to initially join Wolves’ U23 side if the signing goes through.
According to Sky Sports News, Campana will not need a work permit as he holds a Spanish passport.
Everton see Branthwaite bid rejected
Everton has had a £500,000 bid for 17-year-old Carlisle United defender Jarrad Branthwaite rejected.
According to MailOnline, the offer was understood to have substantial add-ons.
However, the League Two side knows they can push for a bigger fee Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea all thought to be interested.

]]>Jurgen Klopp Liverpool manager has made a VAR admission amid the offside decision struggles in the Premier League and it could impact Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and their London rivals. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed that top managers across the Premier League and Europe have offered a VAR solution which could impact Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs. Football fans from all over the world can buy online Premier League tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.
Marginal offside decisions have become one of the biggest VAR issues in recent weeks, with Wolves’ loss at Liverpool recently highlighting how frustrated players and fans have become with the utilisation of the technology in regards to offside decisions.
That frustration was not wiped away with the start of a new year as Jack Grealish had a goal ruled out for Aston Villa at Burnley due to one of the most marginal offside calls of the season.
But Klopp has revealed that managers from around Europe including bosses of Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs have come up with a potential solution for the offside VAR problem after a discussion at a recent UEFA meeting.
Jurgen Klopp says:
“It’s not the biggest problem in the world,” said Klopp, per Mirror Football.
“We want to have clarification and right decisions, offside we get that now, the only problem is it feels like half an hour until the toenail is offside. But that’s the decision.
“We had a manager meeting with UEFA and it was decided to make the line bigger. I would like that. I don’t know who would decide that. That it doesn’t take so long until a decision would also be better.”

Arsenal battle Spurs for Upamecano
North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are prepared to battle it out in the transfer market for the services of RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano, according to the Daily Star.
Arsenal, still winless under Mikel Arteta, is seeking defensive reinforcements in the New Year to save their campaign and Spurs are also on the hunt for players in this area, as Jose Mourinho looks to make his mark.
As a result, the North London duo are both said to be prepared to pay £50m for the services of the 21-year-old but the report also mentions that Manchester City could also be in the mix.
Manchester United eye striker
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eyeing a second-choice striker in the January transfer market, the Manchester Evening News reports.
United suffered a blow with the news that Borussia Dortmund has won the race for Erling Haaland but that hasn’t changed Solskjaer’s approach, with alternative options to the 19-year-old identified.
Solskjaer’s side had a similar contingency plan in the summer during their pursuit of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, although that was eventually not needed, although there is still a ‘high possibility’ no new faces will arrive at Old Trafford.
Newcastle plotting Shelvey deal
Newcastle United is working on a major deal to extend Jonjo Shelvey’s stay on Tyneside, Chronicle Live reports.
The former Liverpool midfielder is entering the final 18 months of his current deals but has informed the club he would like to remain at St. James’ Park for the peak years of his career.
West Ham has long been attributed with an interest in Shelvey but he is not keen on a move to London and both parties are relaxed about the situation, with confidence that a new deal can be agreed.
Wolves are set to lose Italian striker Patrick Cutrone in the January transfer window as Fiorentina prepare a swoop, reports cited by the Daily Mail state.
The 21-year-old was omitted from the squad to face Liverpool on Sunday through illness, having previously been named among the substitutes, but reports surrounding the striker’s future continue to arise.
It’s stated that Fiorentina is preparing an offer to take Cutrone back to Serie A on loan for the remainder of the season, before offering £12.8m to make the deal permanent in the summer.

Hertha Berlin’s Xhaka offer
