With the international break gone, attention shifts to Leeds United’s challenging match against Burnley this weekend, and Championship analyst Sam Parkin predicts the outcome. Leeds had made a great start to the 2024-25 Championship season, despite a poor start on the first day, when Daniel Farke’s side were unable to beat Portsmouth and came near to losing. A topsy-turvy game in which Leeds fell behind 3-2 after a penalty, only for Brenden Aaronson to equalise and then waste a glorious opportunity to put Leeds 4-3 ahead. Then came a 3-0 defeat to Middlesbrough. That happened in the Carabao Cup, but…

The international break is coming to an end, and Arne Slot will turn his full attention to Liverpool’s game against Nottingham Forest this Saturday.

In fact, an attacker sold in 2021 astonished Roy Keane after his performance for Wales earlier this week. Roy Keane was highly impressed by Harry Wilson. Roy Keane, a former Manchester United midfielder turned television pundit, was taken aback by Harry Wilson’s goal for Wales on Monday while speaking…
During the summer transfer season, Nottingham Forest actively sought to add quality over quantity, and the club did a fairly good job. The Reds signed nine players to their squad for the 2024/25 season, while two more, Marko Stamenic and David Carmo, joined Olympiacos on a season-long loan. Forest drew players from throughout the world. A plethora of talented players were signed, with no less than 14 heading off on international service. The window signaled a significant shift in tactics from the Forest’s perspective. Quality players were added, and the club avoided spending large sums on players who are well…
Leeds United may have been freed up to release Patrick Bamford following unexpected occurrences during the international break, according to a joking Adam Pope. On September 9, the BBC journalist reacted to Don’t Go To Bed Just Yet following left-back Junior Firpo’s surprising switch as a forward for the Dominican Republic on international duty.

Jonny…
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…

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.
