Leeds United have 15 Championship games remaining before winning promotion to the Premier League, including seven before the March international break. Leeds’ FA Cup defeat to Millwall on Saturday means they will now focus completely on Championship football. Daniel Farke is only 34 points away from reaching the magical 90-point threshold with 45 points to go. Farke has achieved two promotions with Norwich City, scoring 94 and 97 points. Leeds has an average of 2.12 points per game so far, and if they continue in this fashion, they will have 97 to 98 points. Predicting Leeds’ next seven games before…

Liverpool was knocked out of the FA Cup, but Arne Slot may have given himself an advantage. In the big perspective, he’s right to be tranquil. Arne Slot has lost just four games since taking over for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. It is an impressive record for any head coach, let alone one taking on such a demanding task. First, his team was defeated at home by Nottingham Forest — a 1-0 loss in September that now appears significantly less shocking given Nuno Espirito Santo’s team’s recent performance — but if the Reds win at Everton this midweek, they could…
Newcastle United chief executive Darren Eales is expected to meet the media following the winter transfer window. Newcastle’s head of media, Lee Marshall, confirmed the conversation when head coach Eddie Howe was asked if any other senior figures at the club, such as Eales or sporting director Paul Mitchell, would be discussing transfers and Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules on the record. After Marshall confirmed the conversation, Howe said, “I like it when I don’t have to answer any questions!” Last year, after the club’s finances were released, Eales and chief financial officer Simon Capper spoke to the media.…
Nottingham Forest are now third in the Premier League table, and the club’s fans hope to compete in Europe next season. Nuno Espirito Santo has been the mastermind behind the season’s success thus far. Evangelos Marinakis nearly fired Espirito Santo last season, but he’s now reaping the benefits of his faith. There have been several standout performances this season. Forest defeated Liverpool away at Anfield, Manchester United at Old Trafford, and most recently thrashed Brighton at the City Ground. Espirito Santo emphasizes in each of his news conferences that it’s all about the players. However, it is difficult to deny…
The Record Sport crew debates all of the major issues, including Celtic’s crucial Champions League clash versus Bayern Munich. Will Celtic defeat Bayern Munich in two legs to go to the Champions League Round of 16? Keith Jackson: Probably not. However, if they can give the Germans a bloody nose in Glasgow on Wednesday, they will be able to keep the tie alive heading into the Allianz. Daizen Maeda will be sorely missed in the opening leg, but Celtic may still have enough firepower to stun Bayern. FRASER WILSON: Celtic, at full strength, can win in Glasgow on Wednesday, regardless…
Tottenham are concerned about Son Heung-min’s performances so far this season, according to a former scout. Mick Brown, who previously worked as chief scout at Manchester United and Blackburn and is still well-connected at both teams, has told Football Insider that they could seek to replace the forward during the summer transfer window. So far this season, the 32-year-old has ten goals and eight assists in 32 games in all competitions, but doubts have been raised about his consistency. It has been reported that his legs have begun to slow down, and that his performances are no longer at the…
Newcastle United is returning to Wembley. Indeed, the revitalized Newcastle United will face Liverpool in the 2025 Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium in March. Newcastle easily defeated Arsenal on Wednesday evening, winning 2-0 at St James’ Park to complete an emphatic 4-0 aggregate triumph over the two legs. Liverpool, however, thrashed Tottenham 4-0 the next day to advance to the final with a 4-1 aggregate win. Wembley Stadium will be a spectacular venue. Granted, the Reds will undoubtedly be regarded as favourites, but Eddie Howe’s side impressed in a 3-3 Premier League draw with Arne Slot’s side in December.…
Nottingham Forest had a low-key transfer deadline day, as Nuno Espirito Santo maintained faith in the core of players who have brought the team to third place in the Premier League. Forest added Joel Ndala at the eleventh hour. However, there is no evidence to suggest that he will play for the first team, and he may spend his loan period with the B-Team. The Reds did able to get some players cleared off the decks during the window which proved a bonus. Emmanuel Dennis joined Blackburn on loan for the remainder of the season, while others left throughout the…
Philippe Clement is facing a “inevitable” firing at Rangers after his side lost the Scottish Cup to Queens Park. The Gers fielded a heavily rotated squad at Ibrox and were stunned when Seb Drozd’s 69th-minute strike proved to be the game-winner on Sunday (9 February). James Tavernier may have sealed the Belgian’s fate when goalie Calum Ferrie saved his penalty attempt in the dying moments of the match. Nonetheless, what happened over 90 minutes in front of a bewildered Ibrox crowd could be the final nail in Clement’s coffin at Rangers. Philippe Clement is ‘over’ at Ibrox. The Belgian has…
Leeds United were far from their best when they faced Millwall in the FA Cup on Saturday. The Whites lost 2-0 to Alex Neil’s side and appeared to be on the back foot for the whole of the game. Fortunately for West Yorkshire, now that the FA Cup is no longer an issue, they can devote their full attention to achieving Premier League promotion. While Daniel Farke made ten changes to his starting XI, it felt like they should have fought more. However, because so many changes were made to his team, Willy Gnonto received a starting jersey, and youngster…
