  Noni Madueke looks set to become the latest player to play in the Premier League for both Arsenal and Chelsea. But how many players have previously done so, and how does that compare to other pairs of clubs in the competition? Madueke Heading to Arsenal It's expected Noni Madueke will make the short journey across London to join Arsenal from Chelsea before the start of the 2025-26 Premier League season. Some Arsenal fans have expressed their annoyance at their club giving yet more money to their London rivals for a player deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge. Before Kepa Arrizabalaga's move this summer, Kai Havertz was the last to make the switch back in June 2023 for a reported fee of £65m, while Jorginho made the same journey from south-west to north London only six months earlier. Arsenal and Chelsea: 15 Shared Players Havertz and Jorginho help make up a group of 15 players who have played for both Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League, joining t...

  16. května 2025   Aston Villa - Tottenham  Hotspur Villa Park, Birmingham, Anglie V pátek 16. května 2025 se v rámci 37. kola anglické Premier League utká Aston Villa s Tottenhamem Hotspur. Souboj týmů s naprosto odlišnými trajektoriemi formy slibuje zajímavou konfrontaci a několik pozoruhodných statistických příběhů. Aston Villa vyhrála tři z posledních pěti zápasů Premier League proti Tottenhamu, ačkoliv poslední dva prohrála. Je to více vítězství, než kolik se jim podařilo získat v předchozích 21 zápasech proti Spurs (2 výhry, 3 remízy, 16 proher). Birminghamský celek tak zaznamenal v poslední době zlepšení proti londýnskému rivalovi. Pouze proti Manchesteru City (12) vyhrál Tottenham více venkovních zápasů Premier League než proti Aston Ville (11), přičemž Spurs vyhráli osm z posledních devíti na Villa Park (1 prohra). Londýnský tým tak má na stadionu svého pátečního soupeře mimořádně úspěšnou bilanci. Aston Villa prohrála v posledních dvou zápasech Premier Le...

    Aston Villa v Paris SG   April 15, 2025 The setting of the ancient Villa Park trembles with anticipation. The air in Birmingham is charged with an electrifying mixture of hope and nervousness. Could one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history be born here tonight? Aston Villa faces a monumental task – erasing a two-goal deficit against French giants Paris Saint-Germain and fighting their way to a place in the semi-finals of the world's most prestigious club competition. History knows many stories of the impossible becoming reality. And PSG is precisely the team that can unexpectedly fail even from the most promising positions. Of the seven previous occasions when they won the first leg by two or more goals, they were eliminated three times! Should they fail to advance this time as well, they would become the absolute record holders in the number of eliminations after gaining a two-goal advantage in the first match. Villa Park will breathe as one...

  Paris SG v Aston Villa April 9th, 2025 Parc des Princes will witness the historically first encounter between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa. This will be only the second Champions League quarter-final between French and English teams in the last eight seasons, after the match between Manchester City and Lyon in the single match of the 2019-20 season (1:3). PSG eliminated Liverpool in the round of 16 on their way to the quarter-finals, breaking a streak of three consecutive Champions League eliminations against English opponents (against Manchester City in the 2015-16 and 2020-21 seasons and against Manchester United in the 2018-19 season). Aston Villa must deal with a historical away curse against French opponents. In five matches on French soil so far, the "Villans" have not recorded a single victory (2 draws, 3 losses), which is the most away matches without a win against teams from one country. The last two matches, both under coach Unai Emery, ended in defeat...

  Brighton and Hove Albion – Aston Villa April 1st, 2025 The Amex Stadium has transformed into a fortress in recent weeks. Brighton have won three league games in a row and now stand before a historic opportunity - a fourth consecutive home victory would mark a premier entry in the club's top-flight chronicles. However, statistics warn that Aston Villa isn't among the Seagulls' favorite opponents. Brighton have beaten them at home only once in five attempts, though this happened in their last mutual encounter at this stadium in May last year (1-0). The Villans were almost unbeatable against Brighton until recently. Between November 2021 and September 2023, they recorded five consecutive wins, but in the last two duels, they've failed to collect points (a draw and a loss). Unai Emery's men are improving though - they've won two of their last three league games, which equals their record from the previous nine combined. Brighton's offensive strength is adm...
