Manchester City are planning to reward Rico Lewis with a new contract after the 18-year-old broke into Pep Guardiola’s first team. Lewis has impressed since making his debut earlier this season, starting each of City’s three matches after the World Cup and lessening the club’s need to recruit a new full back. The academy graduate still has more than four years to run on his current deal but the Premier League champions are keen to renegotiate terms over the coming weeks. Lewis will follow a similar path to fellow homegrown talents Phil Foden and Cole Palmer, both of whom secured pay increases after making…

Manchester City‘s Kalvin Phillips is attracting interest from West Ham United and it could be the perfect chance for Pep Guardiola to cash in on the former Leeds United man. What’s the word? According to Football Insider, West Ham have reignited their interest in the England international after Guardiola’s recent comments about the midfielder, who was dropped from the squad after returning from World Cup duty out of shape. The Hammers lost out to Manchester City in the summer when it came to signing Phillips, with David Moyes confirming that they even bid more than the Citizens did to bring the 27-year-old to the Etihad. Therefore, it is clear that the Scottish manager…

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has shown a willingness to change his attacking format through different personnel, following the disappointing 1-1 draw against Everton at the weekend. A second-half strike from Demarai Gray cancelled out Erling Haaland’s first-half opener, in a match where Manchester City were often restricted in creating clear goalscoring opportunities through a stubborn Everton defensive system. Some supporters on social media were highly critical of Pep Guardiola’s decision to start Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez as Manchester City’s wide attacking duo, with the likes of Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez being named among the substitutes. The latter…

For the better part of the last decade, Jeremy Renner had done an exceptional job of playing the role of MCU’s resident super archer Hawkeye. Joining the crew in 2012’s The Avengers, Clint Barton became one of the six integral parts of the superhero team along and saved the world countless times from disaster. Along the way, he has made many friends, including his co-stars, who have got matching Avengers tattoos to commemorate their bonds.

The 32-year-old Aussie actress plays debauched rising star Nellie LaRoy in the mega-budget comedy-drama, which is set in Hollywood in the 1920s.

Cody Gakpo could make his Liverpool debut against Wolves this weekend, and he’ll be under added pressure to hit the ground running amid one Mohamed Salah problem. Mohamed Salah is one of the few Liverpool players that can legitimately claim to be having a good season amid the team’s wider struggles. Salah has racked up 22 goal involvements in 25 appearances in all competitions, scoring 16 times and providing a further six assists. That puts him nearly 10 clear at the top of the club’s goal contribution chart, with Roberto Firmino next up on 13 (nine goals, four assists). In all, the…

Liverpool’s midfield has once again come under scrutiny, with Harvey Elliott not working in the way Jürgen Klopp might have hoped just yet. But there is a fix. Jürgen Klopp has rather committed himself to changing the structure of the Liverpool midfield. Harvey Elliott is playing there at the moment but he is not the only one in a similar mould. Fábio Carvalho appears to be a number 10 who, for now, plays wide left but could become a number eight, Curtis Jones came before him on a similar path, and Bobby Clark is an emerging talent who has similar tendencies. The idea is…

Andy Robertson has admitted that Liverpool players failed to follow manager Jurgen Klopp’s instructions during their disastrous defeat against Brentford. Klopp’s men were second best in every department as they slumped to a poor 3-1 defeat thanks to an own goal from Ibrahima Konate plus strikes from Yoan Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo. The horror show from Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium is another setback in what has already been an extremely below-par season for the Reds. They seemed to have turned a corner after recording four straight victories before their poor showing against the Bees. After the match, full-back Robertson revealed that he…

A new year should have brought new optimism for Liverpool but already it feels like 2023 is shaping up to be a war of attrition. Securing a top-four spot is the minimum expectation for owners Fenway Sports Group, but following Monday’s shambolic 3-1 defeat at Brentford, it feels as if they are losing the battle. Jurgen Klopp will not panic with 63 points in the Premier League up for grabs but he cannot ignore the warning signs around his team. Sportsmail pinpoints the areas he needs to address. SLOPPY AT THE BACK When Liverpool are in a groove, it is almost impossible to break them down…

Chelsea will welcome Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Thursday looking to take all three points from this contest. The visitors come into the match on the back of a lacklustre 1-1 draw against Everton. On the other hand, the Blues recorded a similar result against Nottingham Forest as they failed to take the lead with the match ending with a scoreline of 1-1, so they will have to pick up their game in order to stay in contention for the league title. Graham Potter will set his players up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to opt for a strong first team for this…

The Blues can save money on incomings by taking a look at potential summer free agents, including the likes of Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema and Wilfried Zaha. Having lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen for free over the summer, Chelsea know the risks and pitfalls of contracts running down. As January commences, the time for pursuing free agents arrives and brings with it the chance to secure players that may well have been unattainable previously. Six months out from the expiry of June 2023 deals there are a host of top end players that can now be hit up over…

Manchester United are back within touch of Manchester City – and it’s thanks to a small tactical change from Erik ten Hag that has led to fans praising Harry Maguire. Erik ten Hag moved away from his tactical blueprint on Tuesday evening as Harry Maguire looked like his old self for Manchester United. The Red Devils had the chance to jump into third – and they did their job as they dispatched Bournemouth with ease. However, Ten Hag’s side remain fourth with a game in hand over Newcastle, who drew with Arsenal. Ten Hag opted to switch Maguire and Victor Lindelof at OId Trafford, with Maguire playing on…

Donny van de Beek ‘s bad luck at Manchester United continued on Tuesday, with the midfielder forced off in tears against Bournemouth after a nasty-looking injury. The former Ajax man was handed a rare start by Erik ten Hag as United took on Gary O’Neil’s Cherries.

Manchester United may have cruised to a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Tuesday, but manager Erik ten Hag wasn’t pleased with his side’s performance. Casemiro gave the hosts a first-half lead before Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford added to the advantage after the restart, as United strengthened their place in the top-four. They are now five points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham.”I’m happy with the result,” Ten Hag said, per BBC Sport. “Today it was not our best game. We have to be honest, we didn’t play that smart as a team.“We made great goals, but at times we were…

Cristiano Ronaldo saw his Manchester United contract terminated by mutual consent back on November 22, but his departure appears to be news to the club’s commercial department Manchester United continue to insist that they have moved on from Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Portuguese striker is still present in one form at the Premier League club.

A NEW type of ancient human has been discovered in Israel, according to archaeologists. Our Homo sapiens species would have lived alongside the previously unknown ancient humans 120,000 years ago. Experts found fragments of ancient skull, jaw bones and teeth that are being attributed to a new species. Researchers are now calling the ancient people the Nesher Ramla people. Anthropologist Israel Hershkovitz from Tel Aviv University is the lead author of the study. Hershkovitz said: “The discovery of a new type of Homo is of great scientific importance. “It enables us to make new sense of previously found human fossils, add another piece…

ARCHAEOLOGISTS have finally put to bed the bonkers conspiracy theory that aliens built the pyramids. Recently uncovered papyri detail the mammoth effort it took to construct the Great Pyramid of Giza over 4,600 years ago. The artefacts discovered in Egypt’s Eastern Desert detail the workings of one of those in charge of the operation. They were found in 2013 and are the subject of a new book penned by Egyptologists Pierre Tallet and Mark Lehner, The Spectator reports. There are an estimated 138 surviving Egyptian pyramids, the most famous being the Great Pyramid of Giza, near Cairo. The 455ft Great Pyramid -…

BONES of a woolly mammoth from 10,000 years ago have been found in a cave under a castle. Archaeologists will now carry out a further excavation of the prehistoric limestone cavern. They hope to find further evidence of how the site was used by early humans and animals in the Ice Age. The hollow — called Wogan Cavern — is beneath Pembroke Castle, west Wales. The fort, on the Pembroke river, was built in 1093 and rebuilt a century later. The first Tudor king, Henry VII, was born there in 1457. Scientists say a preliminary search of the cave last year found reindeer and a…
