18 August 2025 Leeds United can rely on the defensive strength of new signing Anton Stach, who was among the most active tackling players in the Bundesliga last season. Only six players made more tackles than the German midfielder (66 – average 2.3 per 90 minutes), making him a key figure for disrupting opposition attacks in United's midfield. Everton brought in offensive power in the form of Thierno Barry, who averaged two fouls won per 90 minutes for Villarreal in LaLiga last season. The French striker also achieved an average of 2.8 shots per match, demonstrating his activity in the attacking third and ability to create shooting opportunities. Another important Everton player will be Iliman Ndiaye, who proved his versatility in last season's Premier League. The Senegalese midfielder averaged 1.9 fouls won per 90 minutes while also recording two tackles per match. He confirmed his consistency in defensive work by making at least two tackles in seven of his last 14 league ...

  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...

  April 19, 2025 Everton - Manchester City Goodison Park will crackle with anticipation this Saturday as a rejuvenated Everton side under the returning David Moyes welcomes title-chasing Manchester City to Merseyside. Despite City's recent dominance in this fixture, the form guide suggests we could be in for a much closer contest than many would have predicted just months ago. Everton's transformation since Moyes returned to the dugout in January has been remarkable. The Toffees have lost just twice in the Scotsman's 13 Premier League games at the helm, a record bettered only by title contenders Liverpool and Arsenal (one defeat each) during this period. With 21 points collected under his guidance, Moyes has steered the club away from relegation fears toward mid-table security. "Coming back to Everton felt like coming home," Moyes told reporters at his pre-match press conference. "The players have responded brilliantly to what we've asked of them, but...

  Everton – Arsenal April 5th, 2025 Goodison Park used to be a cursed place for Arsenal. The Gunners have won only three of their last 26 away matches on Merseyside against local clubs (Everton and Liverpool), which is an alarming contrast to their previous record when they managed to win six out of seven visits. Last season, however, Arsenal finally broke the curse and won 1-0 at Everton's ground. The mutual encounters between these teams have gone through significant fluctuations in recent years. After a period when Everton dominated (four wins from five matches between December 2020 and February 2023), Arsenal has now taken the reins, remaining unbeaten against the Toffees in the last four duels. The December meeting in London ended in a goalless draw, which means that if Arsenal were to keep a clean sheet again, they would achieve this in both season matches against Everton for the first time since the 2011-12 season. Interestingly, if neither team were to score this time,...
