He has been c…

Gaizka Mendieta believes Barcelona should have sacked Ronald Koeman earlier to prevent negative dynamics from developing at Camp Nou.

Barca parted company with Koeman on Wednesday following a 1-0 LaLiga defeat to Rayo Vallecano, on the back of a home Clasico loss against Real Madrid.

Koeman replaced Quique Setien in August 2020 but has failed to make an impact as he battled with Barca s dire financial situation, which led to Lionel Messi departing for Paris Saint-Germain.

The Blaugrana were ninth in the table ahead of a clash with Alaves on Saturday and have lost two of their three Champions League Group E matches.

Sergi Barjuan has stepped in as caretaker head coach and club legend Xavi is expected to be named as Koeman s successor on a permanent basis…

Arsene Wenger believes Mikel Arteta s great future must be nurtured with a strong backroom team if Arsenal make the inexperienced Spaniard their new head coach.

The Gunners have held talks with their former captain and are expected to appoint him to replace Unai Emery.

Arteta, 37, spent five seasons at Emirates Stadium as a player before retiring and taking up a coaching position with Manchester City in 2016.

He is well-regarded after working as Pep Guardiola s understudy but ex-Arsenal boss Wenger said the club would have to take measures to counteract his lack of experience.

I am an Arsenal supporter and at the moment I support the manager in charge. The manager in charge is [Freddie] Ljungberg, Wenger told reporters in Doha.

When Arteta will…

Watford has told Danny Rose that he is free to leave the club in the January transfer window, according to . The Premier League club have reportedly told the former Tottenham Hotspur left-back that he will not play for them again.

Rose joined Watford in the summer of 2021 on a free transfer. The England international left-back signed a two-year contract with the Hornets. The Watford no.3 has made seven starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League so far this season.

Watford are fighting for survival in the Premier League at the moment and are in real danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season. Claudio Ranieri’s side are 17th in the Premier League table at the moment with 13 points from 18 matches, two points above third-from…

Market: Charlton win

Odds: 7/5 @

Hoping to try and find a route back into the top-half of the League One table in midweek, Charlton will make the trip to Gresty Road on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Crewe might have signed off 2021 with a much-needed 2-1 win against Morecambe on the road, it appears that might have just been a minor boost for the relegation scrappers. Last seen on January 4th getting hit with an action-packed 4-2 defeat against Rotherham on home soil, David Artell s men have lost three of their last four matchups across all formats. Last seen on League One duties getting hit with a 4-1 drumming against Burton, the Reds could be in for another tough test on Wednesday night. Suffering back-to-back losses at Gresty Road, the Chesh…

Hull City manager Steve Bruce admitted that his side benefitted from a series of refereeing decisions in Saturday s 1-0 win over West Ham.

A debatable penalty for a foul on Robbie Brady – which the winger duly converted by sending Jussi Jaaskelainen the wrong way – was enough to secure back-to-back Premier League victories for Steve Bruce s side for the first time since October 2008.

But the decision sparked controversy as Brady went down somewhat easily following an aerial challenge with Joey O Brien, with referee Kevin Friend deeming that there had been enough contact to award the spot-kick.

West Ham searched in vain for an equaliser, and will consider themselves unlucky not to have been awarded at least one penalty of their own, with handballs from Curtis Davies…

Best Odds: 11/10

With a spot in the quarter-finals of this year’s Copa do Brasil hanging in the balance late on Wednesday night, Vitoria will welcome Botafogo to the Barradao.

Vitoria

Starting with the hosts, while Vitoria might have cruised their way to a Serie A return this season, Thiago Carpini’s men have drastically struggled to find any kind of stability. Falling to a 1-0 loss when they travelled to Botafogo for their first-leg showdown on May 2nd, the Bahia-based outfit are enduring a real domestic nightmare. Putting in another downbeat performance last week as they suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Vasco, the former Sao Paulo boss has a real headache on his hands at the Barradao. Collecting just a single point from any of their opening …

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke is relishing the chance to play in the UEFA Champions League for the first time this season.

Diego Simeone s side will play in the group stages of the tournament after their third-place finish in La Liga last term.

Atletico make their return to Europe s premier cup competition for the first time since 2009, and although they have achieved UEFA Europa League success twice the 21-year-old cannot to play to get started.

I want to play it, he told Spanish newspaper AS. I have spoken with others who have played it and I have said that is something spectacular.

They have told me that you have to experience it several times and I hope to be the first of many of them.

After their successful league campaign and Copa del Rey triumph i…

Liverpool travel to Stoke City on Sunday still seeking a first league win at the Britannia Stadium.

Although the Merseyside club have twice run out winners in League Cup ties at the ground, famously recording an 8-0 success in November 2000, they have failed to win on five top-flight visits since Stoke were promoted to the Premier League in 2008.

Liverpool have, in fact, been beaten in three successive league games at Stoke, but will still start as favourites this weekend given their impressive season to date.

Brendan Rodgers men sit fourth in the table, six points behind leaders Arsenal, and boast the league s most prolific scorer in Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan forward has 20 goals from 15 starts one more than the entire Stoke team have managed in 20 outings to d…
