EPL Injury News: Callum Wilson and Armando Broja returns, Leicester City boost

Leicester City set to have Jannik Vestergaard vs. Bournemouth Leicester City are set to face Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League, and there is optimism that veteran defender Jannik Vestergaard will be available for the Foxes. That's because the Danish national team have called Vestergaard up for the upcoming October international fixtures in about a week, which bodes well for the veteran center back's status in the Premier League match before the break. Vestergaard hasn't played for several weeks due to an ankle injury after it was initially speculated that he lost his starting job to new, young center back addition Caleb Okoli. His Denmark will face two big opponents over the "break", Euro 2024 champions Spain and then Switzerland. Callum Wilson coming back ...

Everton want to steal West Ham’s top forward target

Everton want to makes sure they stay alive in the Premier League relegation battle this season and would ideally like to finally have some breathing room apart from the teams in the bottom three of the table. Adding more attacking juice needed to be the Toffees' priority this summer, and they acquired two promising players in Marseille striker Iliman Ndiaye and Napoli attacking midfielder Jesper Lindstrom, who was among the many misused talents in their 2023/24 collapse. Everton are optimistic that they can get more out of these two players, but they seem to be interested in landing a more proven commodity to work with their established names from the 2023/24 season. According to a report from Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg, Everton have held long-standing interest in PS...

EPL Predictions: Aston Villa vs. Arsenal; Brighton vs. Man Utd; Tottenham vs. Everton

Who will take the honors between Arsenal and Aston Villa in the big-ticket matchup of the Premier League weekend? Can Brighton build on their drubbing of Everton with a win against a much tougher opponent in Manchester United? And will Tottenham get back to winning ways against a reeling Everton after dropping points to newly-promoted Leicester City? Here are the score predictions for Saturday's Premier League clashes on Matchday 2 of the 2024/25 season. Tottenham vs. Everton On paper, Everton are one of the worst teams in the Premier League and will be among the favorites to face relegation, having done nothing to immediately change the narrative with a lackluster display against European hopefuls Brighton. Tottenham will present an even tougher task for the Toffees, though Spurs ...

Every Premier League team’s most valuable player heading into the 2024/25 season

Addressing the topic of a player's value is extremely difficult in world football, especially when comparing across positions and even ascribing value to a player specific to the team they play for. One way to define "value" is an equivalence to importance. That is to say, a player is valuable because he is important to his team, and the "Most Valuable Player", which is the phrasing Serie A uses for its annual award in a hearken to American sports, is therefore the player who helped his team the most. But in this article ,I'd like to discuss value in a less nebulous but equally challenging realm, which is a player's financial value on the transfer market in a perfect vacuum in which leverage, contract, and overall situation are taken out. Let's take a look at the most valuable pla...

Here is a ranking of the 10 best U23 players in the Premier League right now during the 2023/2024 season. 10.
