Pep Guardiola Expects Manchester City To Be Pitch Perfect Against Fulham

Pep Guardiola insists Manchester City will be prepared for whatever conditions come their way at Fulham on Saturday after training on long grass. City, bidding for an unprecedented fourth successive English title, are renowned for a possession-based passing game suited to the slick, watered surfaces they are guaranteed at their Etihad Stadium home. City manager Guardiola said his side benefited from a slower pitch when they won at Nottingham Forest last month because it led to the home team missing several excellent chances.

Time Running Out For Arsenal As Manchester City Hunt Premier League Glory

Arsenal have barely put a foot wrong in the Premier League in 2024 but, as the title race approaches the finish line, they desperately need a favour from Fulham, who host relentless Manchester City this weekend. Mikel Arteta's Gunners, who travel to Manchester United, are one point clear at the top of the table with two matches to play but Pep Guardiola's men, crucially, have a game in hand. Nottingham Forest will take a huge step towards safety if they beat in-form Chelsea, who are battling Newcastle and Manchester United for a European spot.

Crystal Palace Thrash Man Utd 4-0 To Leave Ten Hag's Future In Doubt

Manchester United are at risk of failing to qualify for Europe next season after a dismal 4-0 thrashing at Crystal Palace left the Red Devils eighth in the Premier League. Michael Olise scored twice, either side of goals from the in-form Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell, as the Eagles' resurgence since the appointment of Oliver Glasner as manager continues. The time for a change of boss at Old Trafford could be coming soon as Erik ten Hag fails to arrest a slide in his second season in charge.

Liverpool shatter Spurs' top four bid as Villa eye Champions League

Liverpool shattered Tottenham's hopes of finishing in the Premier League's top four with a 4-2 win that left Aston Villa on the brink of Champions League qualification despite their 1-0 defeat at Brighton on Sunday.

Premier League: Aston Villa's Top Four Bid Rocked At Brighton, Chelsea Rout West Ham

Aston Villa's bid to finish in the Premier League's top four was rocked by a 1-0 defeat at Brighton, while Chelsea thrashed West Ham 5-0 to keep alive their hopes of European qualification on Sunday. A Villa win combined with a Tottenham loss at Liverpool in Sunday's late game would have sealed a Champions League place for Unai Emery's side. But Villa were unable to fulfil their part of that equation as Joao Pedro's 87th minute goal condemned them to a second painful defeat in four days.

Elijah Adebayo Rescues Struggling Luton In Draw Against Everton

Elijah Adebayo kept Luton in the hunt to avoid relegation from the Premier League as his equaliser rescued a 1-1 draw against Everton on Friday. Rob Edwards' side trailed to Dominic Calvert-Lewin's penalty but Adebayo scored the crucial leveller before half-time at Kenilworth Road. Despite earning just one win in their past 15 league games, third-bottom Luton are still in contention to beat the drop. They are behind fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest on goal difference, with Nuno Espirito Santo's team facing already-relegated Sheffield United on Saturday.

Chelsea Shatter Tottenham Hotspurs' Top Four Bid

Chelsea delivered a hammer blow to Tottenham's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League with a 2-0 win against their spluttering London rivals on Thursday. Trevoh Chalobah's first goal since March 2022 put Chelsea ahead in the first half at Stamford Bridge. The much-maligned Nicolas Jackson wrapped up the points in the closing stages with his 14th goal of a difficult first season with the Blues. After losses to Arsenal and Newcastle, fifth-placed Tottenham's third successive defeat leaves them seven points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.

Jamie Vardy Leads Premier League-bound Leicester City To Championship Title

Jamie Vardy scored twice as Leicester celebrated their promotion to the Premier League in style on Monday with a 3-0 win at Preston that secured the Championship title. The Foxes' return to the top flight was sealed after Leeds' shock 4-0 capitulation at QPR on Friday. Enzo Maresca's men needed victory at Deepdale to guarantee beating Ipswich to top spot with a game to spare and did so with ease, thanks in large part to their 37-year-old captain. Vardy was one of the heroes of Leicester's memorable Premier League triumph in 2016 and part of the side that also lifted the club's first FA Cup just three years ago.
