With all eyes falling on the London Stadium this weekend, Chelsea will make the trip across the capital when they meet West Ham on Sunday afternoon.

West Ham

Starting with the hosts, while West Ham might have made major history last season as they were crowned Europa Conference League champions in Prague, the Hammers certainly came under a huge amount of Premier League scrutiny. Firmly at the heart of a relegation scrap on either side of the winter World Cup break, David Moyes’ men are desperate to find some domestic stability this time around. Opening the 2023/24 campaign with a 1-1 draw away at Bournemouth last weekend, the one-time Manchester United boss will be excited to make a return to the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon. A…

Cristiano Ronaldo has added another milestone achievement to his decorated career by becoming the fastest player to score 50 goals in Serie A.

Ronaldo was on target twice during Monday s game 2-1 win against Lazio at the Allianz Arena, the first of which – scored from the penalty spot – ensured more history for the Portugal great.

It meant the five-time Ballon d Or winner reached his half-century in 61 outings for the Bianconeri.

Here, we take a look at Ronaldo s ongoing prolific exploits.

Quicker than Shevchenko, Ronaldo and Trezeguet

Ronaldo s fast 50 puts him ahead of some esteemed names in recent Serie A history.

Milan and Ukraine great Andriy Shevchenko got to the mark in 68 games, while his namesake and another fellow Ballon d Or…

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna in the January transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that the former Bayern Munich striker has a release clause of €40 million in his contract.

Premier League club Tottenham are looking for a new striker in the middle of the season because they have not found a like-for-like replacement for Harry Kane. Kane joined Bayern Munich from Spurs in the summer of 2023. The 30-year-old England international striker has scored 22 goals and given five assists in 18 Bundesliga matches this season.

Zirkzee has made 18 starts and one substitute appearance in Serie A for Bologna this season. He has scored seven goals and given two assists in those games. Bologna are seventh in the Serie A table …

Manchester United are interested in signing Kerem Akturkoglu from Galatasaray, according to . The report has claimed that the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners are looking for a new winger in the middle of the season to enhance their chances of being successful this campaign.

Akturkoglu has been on the books of Galatasaray since 2020 and has been brilliant for the Turkish club in recent years. The winger helped Galatasaray win the Turkish Super Lig last season. The 24-year-old has scored three goals and given four assists in seven Turkish Super Lig starts so far this season. The winger scored nine goals and gave 11 assists in 31 league starts last season.

Galatasaray are second in the Turkish Super Lig table at the moment with 22 points from eight …

Fabio Quagliarella became the oldest goalscorer in his country s history as Italy romped to a 6-0 win over 10-man Liechtenstein in Euro 2020 qualifying. 

Aged 36 years and 54 days, Quagliarella scored two first-half penalties and was later substituted to a standing ovation having marked his first competitive start since October 2009 in style. 

It was a night of milestones in Parma, Stefano Sensi getting his first international goal in only his second appearance to open the scoring, and Marco Verratti netting his first for Italy in over six years. 

Liechtenstein s Daniel Kaufmann was sent off just before half-time when conceding Quagliarella s second penalty, with Juventus star Moise Kean scoring for a second successive game before substitute Leonar…

The Liverpool juggernaut now looks unstoppable. And worryingly for their title rivals, the majority of Saturday s victory over Brighton and Hove Albion was largely completed while in cruise control.

Jurgen Klopp s side only got out of third gear in the final quarter-of-an hour as three points were safely banked, despite a few late jitters, thanks to two soaring headers from centre-back Virgil van Dijk.

It had all the hallmarks of the kind of win etched out by the great Anfield sides of yesteryear.

Liverpool were dubbed the Red Machine during the heyday of their 1980s dominance when they swept all before them and required an annual tab with Brasso to polish the silverware in the bulging trophy cabinet.

It might only be the end of November, with just over a…

Tottenham have completed the signing of key target Micky van de Ven on a six-year deal from Wolfsburg.

The addition of the left-footed centre-back is a major coup for the club and helps satisfy the demand of new boss Ange Postecoglou to bring in defensive reinforcements.

Spurs have secured the services of Van de Ven on a contract running to 2029 in a deal worth an initial 40million euros (£34.5million), but with the final fee able to rise to around 50m euros (£43.1m) in add-ons.

Welcome, Micky van de Ven!

The Netherlands Under-21 international has been tracked by the club all summer and, after weighing up a move for him or Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba, Tottenham pressed ahead with their pursuit of …

Round nine of the 2020/21 season in the Serie A is up this weekend. There will be several rather interesting and potentially important matches played, such as the one between surprise second-place Sassuolo and last term s Europa League finalists Inter Milan, or the one between Napoli and AS Roma at the stadium which is set to bear the name of the great Diego Armando Maradona soon.

As for the league leaders AC Milan, they will welcome Fiorentina to San Siro as they aim to continue the brilliant run which could lead them to the first Scudetto since 2011.

AC Milan

It will indeed be a decade since the seven-time European champions last won the national title, and they ve gone through some turbulent times since then. But now, led b…

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is awaiting the results of a scan to determine the severity of Paul Pogba s thigh injury after the star midfielder was substituted in the first half of a last-gasp 3-3 draw against Everton.

Pogba hobbled off the field with six minutes remaining prior to half-time as United capitulated at Old Trafford, where Everton sensationally salvaged a point in the 95th minute on Saturday.

United were in control when Pogba succumbed to injury – leading 2-0 at the interval thanks to Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes – before two goals in the space of three minutes to start the second half restored parity for Everton.

Scott McTominay put United ahead again with 20 minutes remaining, but just as the Red Devils looked like secur…

Verdict: Bournemouth wins

 Best odds:

Bookmaker: 

Bournemouth hope to defeat Brighton in an attempt to compete for a 6th place finish. The game will take place at Vitality Stadium in front of 11, 000 fans, where the hosts have so far played at a high level this season. A further loss would drop Roberto de Zerbi s club to the second part of the standings, with Brighton losing ground in the last period.

Bournemouth

With four matches remaining, the host team s strong play this season has put Andoni Iraola s side in a safe zone, perhaps allaying fears of relegation. Furthermore, Bournemouth is looking up rather than down, as they aim to end the season in sixth position.

The team s performance from March to April, when the Cherries were invincible …
