Premier League
January 2026

Multiple Premier League matches are scheduled at unusual times, including several Sunday 3pm kick-offs shown live on TV. The changes are tied to fixture congestion and broadcast selections around the New Year period. The league aims to provide at least 60 hours between matches, forcing several teams who played midweek to be moved from Saturday to Sunday.

Leeds United
January 2026

Leeds’ last win over Manchester United came in the FA Cup third round in 2010, when they won 1-0 at Old Trafford. The result remains a standout upset given Leeds were two divisions below United at the time. Jermaine Beckford scored the only goal as Leeds held off a strong United side featuring multiple senior starters. The win ended with Leeds advancing despite the gap in league status and squad depth.

Slot Rages at Non-Penalty in Leeds Draw and Says Liverpool Must Stay “Who We Are”

Arne Slot
January 2026

Arne Slot criticised refereeing after Liverpool’s 0-0 draw with Leeds, arguing Hugo Ekitike was denied a penalty because he stayed on his feet. Slot said Liverpool must keep their identity while pointing to what he views as a pattern of softer penalties being given against them. Slot cited multiple incidents this season where Liverpool did not receive spot-kicks after contact, while conceding penalties for minimal contact. He argued this dynamic influences players to stay upright, making it harder for referees and VAR to award penalties.

Spurs face Manor Solomon dilemma as Villarreal loan sours

Manor Solomon
December 2025

Solomon’s second loan spell, this time at Villarreal, has stalled after a bright start, with just 358 minutes and one goal across 11 games leaving the winger frustrated. His loan deal reportedly contains a clause allowing an early January termination. Villarreal could cut the Israeli’s spell short to free wages and a squad spot, forcing Spurs to decide whether to reintegrate him for the run-in or arrange another short-term move. With game time limited in Spain and previous Leeds loan experience, Solomon’s next step will shape his stalled Premier League career.

Leeds, sitting 16th, host high-flying Sunderland in a meeting of last season’s promoted pair, needing points to stay clear of relegation trouble after shipping 31 goals, even though their recent head-to-head record offers encouragement with a win and draw last campaign. Aaronson, who started both Championship fixtures against Sunderland, is again expected to play a central creative role, with Leeds tasked to tighten defensively against opponents who concede little but struggle to score, turning the match into a tense balance between resilience and opportunism.

Liverpool lose wonderkid Kai Morrall to Leeds on free move

Kai Morrall
December 2025

Fifteen year old attacker Kai Morrall is set to leave Liverpool for free to join Leeds’ academy, ending an eight year spell at Kirkby in search of a clearer pathway to first team football after mutually agreeing to part ways with the Reds. The Ireland youth international, who joined Liverpool at under nine level and can play wide or centrally, chose Leeds after concluding his development would be better served elsewhere. Because the exit was mutually agreed, Leeds avoid compensation while gaining a highly rated attacker for their youth setup.

Ruben Vargas
December 2025

Leeds United are weighing up a €20m January bid for Sevilla winger Ruben Vargas as they look to add more end product after a stuttering return to the Premier League. The Swiss wide man has become a key starter in Matias Almeyda’s evolving side. Vargas has three goals and four assists in 13 games this season, but a recent hamstring issue has not cooled interest from England, with Leeds ready to test Sevilla’s resolve as they seek extra creativity and depth to avoid being dragged into a relegation fight.

Jordan Henderson
December 2025

Jordan Henderson marked his first Brentford goal by paying emotional tribute to former Liverpool team-mate Diogo Jota, copying the forward’s trademark gaming celebration after scoring in a 1-1 draw with Leeds and then revealing he had dedicated the moment to his “good friend”. Henderson referenced Jota’s recent birthday and tragic death in a car crash, saying he wanted to honour a player “we’ll never forget”, before reflecting on his own late-career resurgence at Brentford, where the 35-year-old has become a regular starter under Keith Andrews.

Salah v Carragher row deepens as Liverpool civil war splits fanbase

Mohamed Salah
December 2025

Mohamed Salah’s claim that Liverpool have “thrown him under the bus” after three straight games on the bench has triggered a fierce backlash, with Jamie Carragher branding him a disgrace before later apologising, and supporters now deeply divided over whether the forward or the club is in the wrong. Salah argued that broken promises, a lost relationship with Slot and his track record justify a guaranteed starting role, but critics point to his poor season, his history of public contract pressure and Liverpool’s unbeaten run since he was dropped. Fans and pundits stress that no player is bigger than the club, while others defend his past contributions.

Liverpool board back Slot over Salah as Anfield power struggle intensifies

Arne Slot
December 2025

Liverpool’s hierarchy have reportedly thrown their full support behind head coach Arne Slot in the fallout from Mohamed Salah’s explosive interview, making clear that the Dutchman retains final authority on selection and discipline as tension builds over the forward’s benching and comments about being scapegoated. What the board’s stance means for Salah’s future remains unclear, but the message that no player is bigger than the club has been repeated around Anfield, increasing the likelihood Slot keeps sidelining him while executives explore options ahead of the January window.
