Malcom Responds To Premier League Rumours

... in Russia. I will work for this. I'll wait for Tite to look at me in a different way so, who knows, I might have an opportunity with the Selecao. Work and dedication will always be present to reach this main goal. And if I'm not on the list in the end, I'll just keep going with my work thinking that one day my time will come. Malcom surprised a lot of scouts and pundits when he moved to Bordeaux last summer, opting not to sign for one of Europe's top clubs like compatriots Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Barbosa. The Corinthians star had been a well-known talent for some time, sitting just behind the duo in the pecking order. Like Jesus, he's impressed since arriving in Europe, making a nice transition to the French game. Here's a look at some of his highlights. The explosive winger is a regular starter for Bordeaux in Ligue 1 and has scored five goals in the ...

The Premier League's Dirtiest Fixture And Other Top-flight Bets To Consider This Weekend

... last red came at Anfield in April 2016 when Ramiro Funes Mori went in studs-first on Divock Origi’s ankle. Earlier this season, Ross Barkley was incredibly fortunate to remain on the pitch when the teams met at Goodison after a shocking challenge on Henderson. 10/1 is good value here so we reckon it’s worth a punt. West Ham to score two or more goals v Hull – 9/2. Slaven Bilic’s side may not be in the best run of form (three straight defeats) but they know where the goal is. From their last six fixtures, they’ve scored two or more times in four of them. And with a trip to Hull this weekend – a side that leaked four against Everton last time out and three away to Leicester shortly before that – it looks likely the Hammers will continue their goalscoring form.

... life skills" - an impact Scudamore says the clubs already see in their involvement in community projects. "We do an awful lot of this anyway - the clubs have been doing a lot of work in communities, a lot of our clubs are involved in schools, not just Premier League clubs but English Football League clubs too," he said. "Nobody out there really knows - clearly those actively involved know - but many parents will not be aware that these things are happening.". Despite a fall in viewing figures for live Premier League games, Scudamore says the organisation is "not seeing any diminishment" in the interest in football of primary school students. "The take up is going to be enormous because the one thing we all know is if you can attach footballers to education then it does improve the ...

Live Manchester United

... an international week but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a good one for West Brom as they secured the services of centre-half Gareth Mc Auley for another season. As well as marshalling an above-average defence for the division, Mc Auley is also the club’s second highest goalscorer with six league goals this season. Darren Fletcher, Ben Foster and Gareth Mc Auley have started all of the Baggies' Premier League games this season, with the latter two playing every minute. That Jesse Lingard goal came in this fixture last season, which United won 2-0 with Mata scoring the other goal. The scoreline was the same at the Hawthorns earlier in the season when Ibrahimovic bagged a brace. A nice variety of goals here. One blasted, one curled and one placed. With half an hour until kick-off, here's a reminder of the two teams in full. MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Rojo, Young, Carrick, Fellaini, Mkhitaryan, Lingard, Martial, Rashford. Subs: Romero, Blind, Darmian, Fosu-Mensah, Tuanzebe, Rooney, Willock. / WEST BROMWICH ALBION: Foster, Dawson, Mc Auley, Evans, Nyom, Livermore, Fletcher, Brunt, Chadli, Mc Clean, Robson-Kanu.

Spurs Cut Chelsea’s Lead To Seven Points

... on loan from Inter Milan in January, headed home in the 85 th minute to secure Hull a 2-1 win at the KCOM Stadium after Andrew Robertson’s strike after the break had cancelled out West Ham striker Andy Carroll’s landmark opener. Victory for Hull was their fourth in five unbeaten league games at home under head coach Marco Silva and lifted them level on points with relegation rivals Swansea, who play Middlesbrough on Sunday, while West Ham slumped to a fourth straight defeat. The visit of West Ham had been billed as the return of winger Robert Snodgrass, sold to the Londoners for #10.2 million in January, but the Scot made little impact and was withdrawn in the second half. Snodgrass was booed every time he was on the ball, but almost silenced the Tigers fans in the 13 th minute when he headed Sofiane ...

Jurgen Klopp Questions England Friendlies During Premier League Run-in

... to Germany just four days earlier. Klopp has said it was wrong for England to play a quality opponent so shortly after Liverpool's intense draw with Manchester City prior to the international break. Adam Lallana will be sidelined for most of April through injury. "It's hard for us to lose a player like Adam for four weeks, which could be eight games - it's a lot," Klopp told Sky Sports. "Whoever thought it was a good idea to play Manchester City and Liverpool on a Sunday night and then Germany against England on the Wednesday, it makes no sense. "We all have to start to work much better together: the FA, Premier League, television and the clubs because we're trying to sell the best product. "City and Liverpool was one of the most intense games in the league. So you can't have the highlight games like that then Germany against England and this and that. "We all do this on the back of the players and a lot of players got injured on this international break. "Friendly games at this stage of the season? Someone wants to tell me that it's important because we'll learn something about the players. "Eight weeks from now we have more friendly ...

Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce is desperate to avoid losing top goalscorer Jonathan Kodjia - but admits his striker cannot be denied if the big boys come calling. Kodjia had plenty of interest last summer from sides in the lower reaches of the Premier League before Dr Tony Xia spent the big bucks to bring him to Villa Park. His form this season, particularly since Bruce took charge in October, will undoubtedly be sending shockwaves around the top flight - but Bruce had warned any potential suitors that Villa don’t have to sell.

Premier League Bosses Are Cracking Down On Kodi Users

... down on this illegal activity. By Andrew Doyle  |  Posted: April 01, 2017. 0 COMMENTS   SHARES. Comments (0). Premier League bosses are getting tough over the use of Kodi boxes to stream games illegally. They have increased their efforts to crack down on illegal feeds of matches that are being streamed by users of Kodi boxes. The Premier League now has a High Court order that allows it to shut down illegal video streams of football matches through the Kodi app, which can be used on the likes of Android media players and Amazon Fire sticks. A Sky TV subscription with sports channels costs between £36 and £71 per month. By contrast, Kodi boxes with the required illegal streams pre-loaded are being sold online for as little as £30. Now the court order shut down this avenue by by blocking access to the computer servers on which they are hosted. *Our video shows how Kodi boxes are used.

Referees Not Learning From Coleman Incident And More Premier League Talking Points

... performance from Antonio Conte’s side. The result was really down to a combination of brilliant goalkeeping by Wayne Hennessey and poor finishing from the Blues. The hosts were beaten despite having 73% possession overall and 11 shots on target. And despite the setback, Chelsea remain seven points clear of Tottenham at the top with nine games to play. Consequently, it still feels as if a minor miracle is needed for Chelsea to surrender their formidable lead at the top and for this afternoon’s outcome to be considered as anything other than a blip on their march towards glory. 3.
