Elland Road has a habit of making big clubs feel the walls closing in. Arsenal arrive on Saturday (3pm) knowing that, and Leeds arrive believing it. Daniel Farke’s side have steadied themselves with a strong draw away at Everton and a rousing home win over Fulham, and there’s a familiar Leeds mood building: organised enough […]
Nottingham Forest delivered the kind of away performance that can change the temperature of a season. Under pressure to keep distance from the bottom three, Forest arrived at the Gtech and left with a clinical 2-0 win, shaped by two goals of real quality and a defensive display that refused to bend even when Brentford […]
Arsenal against Manchester United never really does “normal”, even when the league table tries to pretend it’s just another Sunday. This one comes with extra electricity because Arsenal are being chased by expectation as much as by rivals, while United arrive with the bounce of a side that has rediscovered its pulse. It’s the kind […]
Turf Moor was primed for the sort of afternoon Burnley have been pleading for, the kind that can loosen a season’s grip and turn belief into points, until Cristian Romero climbed in the final minute and ripped the script in half with a flying header that earned Tottenham a 2-2 draw and left the home […]
The Stadium of Light has a way of making afternoons feel bigger than they look on paper, and this one carried multiple storylines before a ball was kicked. Sunderland were chasing another statement at home. Crystal Palace arrived amid chaos, with Oliver Glasner’s exit already announced and captain Marc Guehi pulled out as a move […]

Arsenal walked into Nottingham with a chance to turn a good weekend into a great one. Manchester City had already dropped points, and victory at the City Ground would have pushed Arsenal nine clear at the top. Instead, Mikel Arteta’s side left with a 0-0 that felt like a point gained on paper, but two […]
The Stadium of Light has a habit of turning routine fixtures into occasions, and Sunderland will want to make this one feel exactly like that. Crystal Palace arrive with Premier League street-smarts and a squad built to punish moments of hesitation. Sunderland, backed by a crowd that can swing the emotional weight of a match, […]
Elland Road is set for one of those games that tells you a lot about both teams without necessarily shouting it. Leeds against Fulham usually lands somewhere between tension and tempo, and this one feels built the same way. Leeds need points that steady the ship, the kind that change the mood of a week […]
There’s a particular cruelty to racism in 2026: it rarely arrives announcing itself. It seeps into the everyday. A comment in a queue. A “joke” at work. A stare that lingers too long.
