On the flight home from Chicago, as he reflects on the 4-2 loss to Leeds that ended Liverpool’s United States tour, manager Andoni Iraola will have plenty to think about.The first-half display was arguably the best since the Spaniard took charge, but the second was categorically their worst as they conceded four times without reply inside 25 minutes.Iraola did make a raft of changes at the break and in the second half but that is no excuse for the way they capitulated against Daniel Farke’s side.Their lack of squad depth and physicality was alarmingly exposed and Iraola will be concerned…

Alfred Johansson appeared to have walked into an incredibly difficult job at Motherwell this summer.Motherwell finished fourth in the Scottish Premiership last season, playing some of the best football you could wish to see, and all on one of the top-flight’s lowest budgets.Not only was Johansson following in Jens Berthel Askou’s sizeable footsteps after the Danish manager left for Toulouse, he was also dealing with the departures of key players in Elijah Just, Elliot Watt and Calum Ward, who have joined Swansea City, Samsunspor and QPR, respectively.And yet, the Swede has started in fine style.Sunday’s 2-1 win at Hibernian was…
Leny Yoro says Manchester United must aim to become Premier League champions in 2026-27. The Red Devils are entering their first full season with Michael Carrick at the helm, having recovered impressively from a slow start under Ruben Amorim to finish third last term. They were sixth when Amorim was sacked in January, but Carrick achieved 12 wins in his 17 Premier League games in charge in 2025-26 (D3 L2) to land the permanent job. Had the season started when Carrick took the reins on an interim basis on January 13, United would have won the title, as their 39…

The same issues surfaced against Zepeda that were there in Roach’s draws with Gervonta Davis and Isaac Cruz. His skill level allowed him to compete, but he lacked size, punching power and the work rate to defeat them. If he possessed even one of those advantages, his chances of winning a title at 135 or 140 would look much stronger. Returning to super featherweight appears to be the better move from a competitive standpoint. Roach won his world title at 130 and has already shown he belongs among the division’s top fighters. Anthony Cacace looks like the most realistic championship…

Lennox Lewis has spoken out on the future of Anthony Joshua following his recent performance against Kristian Prenga.

Those plans nearly went up in smoke as Joshua was sensationally knocked down twice in the first round, though he was able to recover and earn the second round knockout victory. He is now set to proceed with the clash against…
