Madrid, April 11 (Ians) Real Madrid aims to return to business as usual when they take on Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday night.
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti rested key players for Saturday’s match at home to Villarreal and saw how his side lost a thrilling match 3-2, but key players, such as Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Dani Carvajal are all likely to be back against Chelsea, reports Xinhua.
Ferland Mendy is Madrid’s only injury and the only big doubt is whether Nacho Fernandez, David Alaba or Eduardo Camavinga will replace him.
Although he has performed well in midfield in recent weeks, Camavinga could be the favorite, after his excellent display on the left in Madrid’s 4-0 Copa del Rey win away to Barcelona last week.
Karim Benzema will lead the attack alongside Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, although Fede Valverde could...

London, April 6 (Ians) Chelsea Fc on Thursday appointed club legend Frank Lampard as caretaker manager until the end of the season.
Lampard, who was at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night to watch Chelsea’s goalless draw against Liverpool just 48 hours after Graham Potter was sacked, will be in charge for Saturday’s game at Wolves.
The 44-year-old, who is Chelsea’s record goalscorer, was dismissed as head coach in January 2021 following 18 months in the job. He then took charge at Everton, but was sacked in January after less than a year in the role.
Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said former midfielder Lampard will take charge while they continue an “exhaustive process” to find a permanent manager.
‘We are delighted to welcome Frank back to Stamford Bridge. Frank is a Premier League Hall of Famer and a legend at this club,” Boehly and Eghbali said in a club statement.

London, April 5 (Ians) Chelsea’s first game since Graham Potter’s sacking on Sunday failed to see any magic solution to the club’s problems as they drew 0-0 at home to Liverpool.

On Tuesday night, Brighton gave their chances of European football a big boost with a 2-0 win away to relegation threatened Bournemouth. Young striker Ewan Ferguson put the visitors ahead after 27 minutes and after withstanding pressure from the home side, Julio Encio scored Brighton’s second in injury time, a Xinhua report said.
Aston Villa made it three wins from three games to climb above Liverpool thanks to a 2-1 win away to managerless Leicester City.

London, April 3 (Ians) Chelsea sacked coach Graham Potter on Sunday night after their 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa, during which the fans at Stamford Bridge sang “you don’t know what you’re doing” at Potter.
The defeat leaves Chelsea 11th in the Premier League, with little chance of qualifying for Europe next season and just 10 days before they play Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, reports Xinhua.
Potter arrived at Chelsea from Brighton on September 8 and signed a five-year contract, but leaves the club after winning just seven of his 22 league games in charge.
Chelsea have confirmed former Brighton defender Bruno Saltar, who moved as a coach to Stamford Bridge with Potter, as their interim replacement.

London, April 2 (Ians) Manchester City kept their calm after falling behind, to roar back and beat Liverpool 4-1 in a result that very much keeps them in the race for the Premier League title.
Although Mohamed Salah poached a goal for Liverpool in the 17th minute, Julian Alvarez, who was in the side for injured Erling Haaland, levelled 10 minutes later and then helped Riyad Mahrez set up Kevin de Bruyne to put City ahead in the first minute of the second half.
Ilkay Gundogan then put the result beyond doubt when he made it 3-1 in the 53rd minute after Alvarez’s shot had been blocked and the impressive Jack Grealish got the goal he deserved in the 74th minute after exchanging passes with De Bruyne.
“When we conceded the goal, we were playing really well. Of course, they are always a threat in the transitions, but we played really well in all departments.

London, March 6 (Ians) Chelsea coach Graham Potter faces a crucial 90 minutes when his side entertains Dortmund in their Round of 16 second-leg match in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Chelsea need to overcome a 1-0 defeat from the first leg in a game where they were arguably the better side, but failed to take their chances and were caught by a late sucker punch by Dortmund.
A 1-0 Premier League win at home to relegation-threatened Leeds United on Saturday helped lift some of the pressure off Potter, but overturning a 1-0 deficit to a top-level European rival will be a different challenge, reports Xinhua.
Saturday’s win was Chelsea’s first since a 1-0 victory at home to Crystal Palace on January 15, with the goal in that game coming from a set piece. Saturday’s winner also came following a set piece, with Chelsea only scoring one more goal in...

London, March 5 (Ians) Arsenal retained their five point lead at the top of the Premier League in dramatic fashion following a second half fightback and a late winning goal at home over Bournemouth.
The Gunners kicked off the match after their lead was narrowed to just two points with Manchester City winning 2-0 at home over Newcastle United in the Saturday’s early kick-off.
Phil Foden, who seems to be firmly back in favor at the Etihad Stadium, put Pep Guardiola’s men in front after 15 minutes, before Bernardo Silva scored City’s second in the 67th minute with a neat finish shortly after coming on as a substitute, a Xinhua report said.

London, Feb 24 (Ians) The Carabao Cup final between Manchester United and Newcastle United at Wembley means those clubs’ respective Premier League matches against Brighton and Brentford have been postponed. Nevertheless, there is still plenty to look forward to in England’s top flight this weekend.
The round of matches kicks off on Friday night with Fulham at home to Wolves. The home side has the chance to move level on points with Newcastle in fifth place if they win, while Wolves are looking to recover after last weekend’s surprise defeat at home to Bournemouth, reports Xinhua.
That defeat highlighted the Wolves’ problem in attack, with Julen Lopetegui’s side have scored just 17 goals in 23 games this season.
Relegation comes sharply into focus on Saturday afternoon with a series of matches which affect the bottom three.
Perhaps the biggest of those is at Elland Road, where Javi Gracia makes his debut as Leeds United coach.

London, Jan 22 (Ians) Liverpool and Chelsea drew 0-0 at Anfield, a result that probably pleased Chelsea more than Liverpool but only served to highlight the problems the two sides are currently facing.
Chelsea had an early goal from Kai Havertz ruled out for offside, as they controlled the first half and gave Liverpool’s defense constant problems with high crosses into the penalty area, reports Xinhua news agency.
The second half was more even, but neither side really deserved to take all three points as Mykhailo Mudryk made his debut for Chelsea.
“Overall, a positive day, other than the fact we wanted three points. We’ve had a tough period but the group has stayed together and remains calm,” commented Chelsea coach Graham Potter after the final whistle.

London, Nov 6 (Ians) Attacking midfielder Raheem Sterling insisted he is staying patient in a new club Chelsea under a new head coach in Graham Potter this season, but the England international gave an honest assessment of his and the team’s performances ahead of facing early Premier League pace-setters Arsenal on Sunday.

However, the England international sets high standards for himself and admits he has not been happy with his own performances at times this season, even if he has no concerns over his ability to match those lofty expectations moving forward.

Kai Havertz gave Chelsea hope with a 48th minute shot, but Brighton defended well and Pascal Gross scored Brighton’s fourth goal in second half injury time.
Kevin de Bruyne scored the only goal of the game as Manchester City won 1-0 away to Leicester City to go top of the table ahead of Arsenal’s game on Sunday.

London, Oct 28 (Ians) Defending champions Manchester City visit an improving Leicester City, while Arsenal take on Nottingham Forrest, and new Aston Villa coach Unai Emery could reflect on what might have been when his new club visits Newcastle in the Premier League this weekend.
Consecutive wins have eased the pressure on Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers, but his side now faces a difficult home game against second-placed Manchester City in the first match of the weekend.
Pep Guardiola’s side could be without goal-machine Erling Haaland, who was substituted at halftime in midweek with a foot injury and his absence could help Leicester continue to improve their defensive record.
Chelsea coach Graham Potter returns to face Brighton seven weeks after leaving them to move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have improved since his arrival, while Potter’s replacement, Roberto De Zerbi has yet to win a game, with just two points...

London, Oct 21 (Ians) The big news ahead of the Premier League matches this weekend is not about who will be playing but who won’t be taking part after Manchester United announced on Thursday that Cristiano Ronaldo had been dropped from the squad for Saturday’s visit to Chelsea after another display of petulance.
Ronaldo’s decision to walk down the touchline and down the tunnel on Wednesday night when it became clear he wasn’t going to get on as his side beat Tottenham 2-0.
The fact that United have been playing their best football without the Portuguese means that in terms of performance, Ronaldo probably won’t be missed at Stamford Bridge for what promises to be a thrilling match.
Chelsea have improved since the arrival of Graham Potter, while United are slowly finding their identity under Eric ten Hag.
Chelsea’s big issue for this game will be replacing Reece James,...

Tom Felton has said he still feels “ashamed” of laughing at a young Emma Watson on the set of Harry Potter.
The Draco Malfoy star recalled the “painful” memory in his newly released memoir, Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard.
Felton is three years older than Hermione Granger star Watson, whom he met at auditions when she was just nine and he was 12 years old.
The actor wrote that, in the early days, there was a real-life divide between the young Griffindor stars and their Slytherin rivals.
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Watson formed one trio while Felton, Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe) and Josh Herdman (Gregory Goyle) were slightly older.
"I suppose we thought we were a bit cooler," Felton wrote. "We'd spend our free time together listening to rap music – Wu-Tang, Biggie, 2Pac.”

London, Oct 18 (Ians) The Premier League has a full list of midweek fixtures, with the majority of the matches to be played on Wednesday night.
What would have been the biggest game of the week, a clash between Arsenal and Manchester City, has been postponed to allow the Gunners to play a Europa League tie against Psv Eindhoven, but there is still plenty on offer.
Liverpool’s home game against West Ham allows Jurgen Klopp’s men to close the gap on the top of the table after their weekend victory over Manchester City.
The game will show what Liverpool’s fitness levels are like against a rival that is improving after a slow start to the campaign, and forwards Jarrod Bowen, Gianluca Scamacca and Lucas Paqueta will pose a threat to the home defense.
There are two derbies on Wednesday, with Bournemouth at home to Southampton and Brentford entertaining Chelsea.

Graham Norton has apparently responded to John Cleese’s complaints of cancel culture.
The Monty Python star has long railed against what he considers to be “cancel culture” and has decried “woke” values being a part of media and entertainment.
Earlier this week, Cleese was announced as the presenter of a new show on Gb News, to be hosted alongside comedian Andrew Doyle.
When speaking about it on Radio 4’s Today on Monday (10 October), the comedian explained that although he hadn’t been familiar with the broadcaster when they approached him, he learned of the channel as one focused on “free speech”, rather than being specifically right-wing.
During a recent appearance at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, Norton is said to have touched upon the idea of “cancel culture” and Cleese’s outspoken views.
“The word is the wrong word,” he began. “I think the word should be ‘accountability’.

London, Oct 8 (Ians) Southampton’s defenders will have to steel themselves later on Saturday for their visit to Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, because although they know the threat waiting for them, nobody has been able to stop it so far.
Erling Haaland has scored a hat-trick in each of Man City’s last three home games and also netted twice in their Champions League win against Copenhagen in midweek and expect to add to that against a visiting Southampton that conceded 13 goals this season.
Pep Guardiola’s side have netted 29 goals in eight league matches (including six against Manchester United last weekend) and this looks like a match that is not going to end goalless, reports Xinhua. The weekend in the Premier League has plenty of other interesting matches with Arsenal’s home game against Liverpool the standout.

London, Oct 2 (Ians) Goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka ensured derby day delight for Arsenal as the Gunners beat arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 to maintain their top spot in the Premier League table.
Partey’s wonderful strike from distance set Arsenal on their way, and despite a Harry Kane penalty ensuring the sides went in level at half-time, a poacher’s effort from Jesus restored their lead four minutes into the second half.
Emerson Royal was then red carded for the visitors and soon after Xhaka drove in a third to secure a third straight home victory for Arsenal in this fixture for the first time since 2013.
The win helped Arsenal move up to 21 points from eight games — seven wins and one defeat — leading Manchester City by four points. On Sunday, City will have a chance to reduce the margin when they take on arch-rivals Manchester United in a derby.

London, Sep 29 (Ians) The Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson is expecting a tough test from Premier League opponents Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield on Saturday.
Henderson made his injury comeback for England on Monday night having picked up a hamstring issue against Newcastle United in late August.
Jurgen Klopp’s squad will return to domestic action on Saturday against Brighton in the wake of a prolonged break from matches following the Chelsea postponement ahead of the September international fixtures.
“This is a big game for us, definitely. It’ll be tough as well because Brighton are a very good side, as they’ve shown over the course of the start of the season,” Henderson was quoted as saying by Liverpool.com
“It is important, but it will be difficult, and we hope that the fans will be along with us on Saturday as I’m sure they will be. Graham Potter...

London, Sep 16 (Ians) Preparations for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday mean that a shortage of police has led to the postponement of three Premier League matches scheduled for this weekend, with just seven matches to be played.
The games between Chelsea and Liverpool, Manchester United and Leeds United and Brighton and Crystal Palace have all been put off due to the lack of police, and while new Chelsea coach, Graham Potter will be grateful for more time to work with his squad and Brighton will be able to find a replacement for Potter, the postponements will only lead to further congest an already crowded fixture calendar.
Nottingham Forest and Fulham play a match between two recently promoted sides, with Forest still smarting at how they allowed Bournemouth to come back from 2-0 down to win 2-3 in the last game at the City Ground.
While Forrest have struggled,...
