Nottingham Forest play Liverpool at Anfield this Saturday, in a game that will undoubtedly be difficult for the Reds. Although Forest made some waves in the transfer market this summer, it’s safe to say that the Reds are looking to improve rather than compete this season. Forest narrowly survived relegation to the Championship in the previous two seasons, and a more comfortable campaign is expected in 2024/25. This weekend, it will be exciting to watch how Nuno Espirito Santo could line up, with new acquisition James Ward-Prowse seeming almost certain to make his debut. How Nottingham Forest could line up…

Max Wober, a Leeds United defender, suffered a knee injury while on international duty with Austria, according to Kronen Zeitung. On Monday (9 September), the Austrian newspaper announced on their website that Wober, 26, had to miss his country’s Nations League defeat to Norway due to “knee problems”. Wober played 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw with Slovenia on Friday (6 September), but was an unused substitute in Norway’s 2-1 defeat against Erling Haaland. Will Wober be fit to play for Leeds United against Burnley on Saturday? The Elland Road faithful have only seen Wober once this season, in a…
Leeds United want to return to Championship action this weekend. There is only one more day of internationals until all players return to Thorp Arch to report for club duties, following a break that came at the worst possible time for Leeds. Leeds signed four new players in the final eight days of the transfer window, but the international break arrived before they could settle in. Daniel Farke’s team has also recently gained momentum with back-to-back 2-0 victories over Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday. Leeds couldn’t have asked for a more challenging match to celebrate their homecoming, as they face…
West Ham United have been linked to the former Liverpool defender. Joel Matip has reportedly been given a two-year contract with Liverpool’s Premier League opponents. The centre-back is still without a club after leaving Liverpool at the end of his contract last season. Matip spent eight years with the Reds, cementing his place in club history. He made 201 appearances, scoring 11 goals and helping Jurgen Klopp’s team win seven major championships, including the Premier League and Champions League. However, Matip’s ACL injury in December prevented him from playing in the remaining five months of his Liverpool career. Since leaving…
Nottingham Forest have a handful of players away playing Nations League games during the most recent international break. One of such is Neco Williams, who appears to be playing a significant role in a new era for Welsh football, with Craig Bellamy taking charge from Rob Page after the country failed to qualify for Euro 2024. Williams played in a more advanced role for Wales in a 2-1 win over Montenegro last night, and it appears that he earned some high praise for his efforts. The 22-year-old has been a regular in the Forest team since Nuno Espirito Santo took…
The less said about Sam Allardyce’s time with Leeds United, the better. Big Sam came in at the close of the 2022/23 season, with only four games remaining and the daunting challenge of saving Leeds from relegation. Ultimately, it was too late for Allardyce to make a difference at Elland Road, but, in typical Allardyce manner, he made some significant decisions during that time. Allardyce made no use of Georginio Rutter during his tenure as Leeds manager, despite the fact that Rutter had only joined the club for £35 million a few weeks earlier. Leeds fans were understandably perplexed as…
Liverpool fans have just received some fantastic news during the international break. Fans of the Reds have enjoyed a good start to the 2024/25 season, with Arne Slot winning all three Premier League games in charge, including a 3-0 triumph over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Ally McCoist has responded to a recent boost for Liverpool fans. Ally McCoist answers following Virgil van Dijk’s comments. The 61-year-old has now spoken with talkSPORT after Virgil van Dijk declared his desire to extend his contract at Anfield. There has been a lot of speculation regarding the Netherlands international, as well as Mohamed…
Nottingham Forest currently has a number of players on international duty, including Morgan Gibbs-White, who is spending time with the England squad for the first time. On Saturday, he was given game time from the bench as Lee Carsley began his tenure as interim head coach. Gibbs-White came in for the final 14 minutes of England’s 2-0 victory over Republic of Ireland. The offensive midfielder replaced Jack Grealish, who scored against his former nation. He showed some excellent touches on the pitch and may challenge for a starting spot tomorrow. Gibbs-White has started the season strong for Forest. He scored…
Leeds United’s Thorp Arch academy is well-known for producing a steady stream of talent, and Eddie Gray is enthusiastic about a 15-year-old making waves behind the scenes. While most of the academy’s players, including Charlie Crew, Mateo Joseph, and Pascal Struijk, were recruited from other academies, Archie Gray was entirely homegrown. Of course, this was before the 18-year-old joined Tottenham Hotspur for £40 million this summer. However, the Gray connection at Elland Road remains strong, and the next member of the Leeds conveyor belt may be someone else. Earlier this summer, Daniel Farke took six young players to Germany for…
Liverpool fans would have been ecstatic to see Trent Alexander-Arnold start at right back for England. It has been four years since the Liverpool creator started in that position for his country, and Gareth Southgate will use Alexander-Arnold in midfield during Euro 2024. England defeated the Republic of Ireland 2-0 in Dublin on Saturday in their UEFA Nations League opening, with all eyes on Lee Carsley’s first XI as temporary manager. With Kieran Trippier retiring from England duty, Kyle Walker not selected, and Reece James still dealing with knee concerns, Alexander-Arnold was finally given the opportunity to step into a…
