A huge improvement from the Premier League's promoted teams - Why it's vital for the league In May 2024, for the first time since 1998 in the Premier League, all three teams that were promoted from the Championship the previous season were relegated. Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton all w...

Last season all three promoted teams were relegated for the 2nd time in-a-row. Before, it only happened once in 31 years. This season, there’s been a huge improvement from Sunderland, Burnley & Leeds so far & it’s vitally important for the Premier League 👇

When Chelsea signed Cole Palmer for €47m in 2023, it seemed a little steep given he’d only played 492 PL minutes. 100 games on and he’s likely to go down as one of the league’s best ever signings. Staggering numbers.

Part of the charm of the #ChampionsLeague is the different stadiums it offers up. From the iconic Bernabéu to Qarabag’s Azersun Arena, this seasons competition has it all. 🏟️

Over two years without a league loss to a 'Big six' team - How Arsenal became big-game players Losing Premier League games to 'Big six' opponents has essentially become a thing of the past for Arsenal - their record is simply incredible in these matches.

Arsenal’s record against the ‘Big six’ teams has gone from disastrous to incredible under Mikel Arteta. Over 2 years since a league defeat to any of them. 1,261 days since Liverpool tasted PL victory. Can it continue at Anfield today?👇

Arsenal set to hijack Spurs deal - Why Palace's Eberechi Eze is hot property this summer One of the most engrossing transfer stories this summer looks set to evolve around the future of Crystal Palace and England star Eberechi Eze. According to The Athletic, the 27-year-old is high among ...

Not much beats stealing a player off your north London rivals. Especially when it’s a player as talented as Eze. Reports suggest #Arsenal could now beat Spurs to his signing. A piece for Transfermarkt on why the Palace star is in demand 👇

Man United were unlucky to be the losing team against Arsenal, but Ruben Amorim’s Premier League record is truly awful. Losing has become a familiar habit.

It’s been a pretty disastrous transfer window to date for Newcastle. Chaos in the boardroom, star striker wants to leave & the number of targets who have rejected a move is frightening. A piece for Transfermarkt on the Magpies worrying summer 👇

Huijsen, Kerkez & Zabarnyi all set for exits - How Bournemouth constructed & lost their defence AFC Bournemouth may have one of the smallest stadiums in Europe's top-five leagues, with a capacity of just 11,307, but the south-coast side proved to be one of the surprise packages in the Premier Le...

#Zabarnyi looks set to follow Huijsen & Kerkez out the exit door this summer. A move to PSG edges closer.

Based on current squads & the most likely front threes from those players to start, the #ManchesterUnited attack is the most expensive in the entire Premier League 🤑😯

When Evan Ferguson burst onto the scene with Brighton, big things were expected. However, since his hat-trick vs Newcastle in 2023, he has just 3 goals in 44 PL games. A move to Roma & the Serie A could reignite his career.

Yeah got a strong core group of players but think Villa are looking really light up top and on the wings

Very kind, thanks mate

Was referring to the squad that got Villa qualified for the UCL in 23/34, but was a bit short on space to specify that in caption! Yeah would imagine will need to sell to buy.

No major signings & star players could leave - What's going on with Villa's transfer window? Aston Villa have enjoyed their most successful period in the 21st century under Unai Emery. However, a fair chunk of the side that got them back into the Champions League has now been dismantled, and ...

The term 'Barclaysman' or 'Proper Barclays' has gathered online notoriety in recent years referring to players that shone in the #PremierLeague between 2004 & 2016. Before VAR. Before robotic tactics. These are the players with most games in that era 🔥⏪️
