8+ min ago (197+ words) Olympique de Marseille no longer has a choice. With only three points on the clock after four days, the result of defeats against Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon and Atalanta Bergamo, the Olympian club must absolutely win against Newcastle on Wednesday to maintain its chances of qualifying for the rest of the competition. A new setback against the Magpies would certainly not be mathematically crippling but would further complicate the task of the Ciel et Blanc, who will continue with two trips to Belgium, on the lawns of Club Bruges and Union Saint-Gilloise, and the reception of Liverpool. In search of their second victory in the competition, OM will have to deal with several absences, particularly in defense, where Nayef Aguerd, Facundo Medina, Michael Murillo will be missing. Also, alongside Benjamin Pavard and Leonardo Balerdi, in the central hinge, and Emerson,…...

12+ min ago (447+ words) Manchester United lost against Everton in the Premier League on Monday night. The Red Devils played most of the match with one more player since Idrissa Gueya was sent off in the first half for Everton, surprisingly, for fighting with teammate Michael Keane. The stage was set for Ruben Amorim and his team to deliver another position result this season. Although the Red Devils were missing the injured attacking duo Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, they still had the likes of Joshua Zirkzee, Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes as their creative and attacking options. Everton scored through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the first half and then defended brilliantly to protect their lead. David Moyes beat Man United for the first time in his career and the defeat raised more questions about Amorim, his team and their credentials. Following the…...

19+ min ago (288+ words) Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly both keen on a potential transfer deal for RB Leipzig wonderkid Assan Ouedraogo. The talented 19-year-old midfielder looks like one of the most exciting prospects in Europe right now, having shone for the Leipzig first-team and having recently made his debut for the senior German national side. This has Man Utd and Chelsea keeping a close eye on Ouedraogo, with transfer interest supposedly becoming more and more concrete, according to Sky Germany. The report emphasises, however, that Ouedraogo does not currently have a release clause in his Leipzig contract, which means it will take big money from the Red Devils or the Blues to get a deal done for him. Chelsea are known for signing top young talents like this, so Ouedraogo may well be tempted to head to Stamford Bridge for the next…...

21+ min ago (422+ words) There could be more players available for selection at next year's World Cup. The highly-anticipated 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico is now just a few months away, and squad planning will have begun in earnest. England qualified comfortably, finishing top of their group without conceding a goal under Thomas Tuchel. Focus will now be on preparation for the finals, where the Three Lions will be expected to challenge for football's most prestigious trophy. And they could benefit from a potential rule change for the tournament. FIFA are reportedly considering expanding the maximum squad size from 26 to 30 players, which would mean more strength in depth for Tuchel. It would also mean more players currently on the periphery could find themselves on the plane to North America, when they otherwise might have missed out. We have taken a look…...

22+ min ago (346+ words) Carragher insisted that any speculation over the Dutchman's future at Anfield is premature Jamie Carragher has suggested that Liverpool manager Arne Slot does not command the same "unconditional love" as his predecessor, Jurgen Klopp, while dismissing early speculation regarding the Dutchman's future at Anfield. Pressure has intensified on Slot following the club's disappointing 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, a result that marks their sixth defeat in the last seven Premier League fixtures.
