Many Arsenal fans have lauded Joe Willock as being a regeneration of Gunners legend Patrick Vieira, after the midfielder struck from range against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup. Willock must have thought he had scored his side’s winning goal in spectacular fashion in the 70th-minute, when the 20-year-old picked the ball up just inside the Liverpool half, glided past Adam Lallana and unleashed a fierce, whipped strike into the top-left corner. Caoimhin Kelleher could get nowhere near to save his shot, but the Anfield outfit pulled themselves back level when Divock Origi secured his brace by pulling away from his marker to volley home a stoppage-time equaliser. Find out who is each Premier League club’s biggest bargain in the video below… Arsenal had overcome an early own goal by Shkodran Mustafi to hold a 3-1 lead over Liverpool approaching half-time, but found themselves initially pegged back minutes before the break when James Milner tucked home from the spot. The Gunners

Liverpool started with five academy players in their Carabao Cup clash with Arsenal and one of those players, Neco Williams, made a huge impression on some fans. The 18-year-old was handed his Reds’ debut by Jurgen Klopp and he certainly made the most of his opportunity, with the assist for Divock Origi’s last-gasp equaliser likely to live long in the memory. He may have been part of a defence that conceded five goals but many supporters think he was not only the best youngster on the pitch, but the best player. Watch Liverpool Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below It is high praise indeed and he is clearly a player with potential, though the downside for him is that he will likely have to compete with another young player in Trent Alexander-Arnold for the right-back spot. However, if he continues to improve he could become an option for Klopp, and as one fan pointed out it would allow Alexander-Arnold to move into midfield, a position Jamie Carragher suggested he is

Lots of Chelsea fans were left impressed by Reece James’ performance against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, despite the Blues falling to a 2-1 defeat. James is enjoying his breakthrough campaign at Stamford Bridge working under Frank Lampard, having earned his senior debut in the Third Round win over Grimsby Town. The 19-year-old right-back has now amassed six first-team appearances with the Blues, including two in the Champions League, after starting in the 2-1 win over LOSC Lille. Watch Chelsea Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below He was unable to maintain his unbeaten record with the West London outfit on Wednesday night, but many Blues supporters have lauded the youngster as being ‘the only positive’ from their side’s defeat to Manchester United. James was not able to present the same attacking threat against the Red Devils as he was against Grimsby, when he scored, yet combined well with Callum Hudson-Odoi down the right channel and delivered some teasin

Having arrived in the summer after weeks of drawn-out negotiations, Manchester United’s £80m summer signing Harry Maguire has already become a key figure for the club. The England international has taken the armband in recent games, in an undeniable show of faith and trust from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. However, against Chelsea in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, Maguire didn’t cover himself in too much glory – particularly for the Blues’ equalising goal. Having taken the lead through a Marcus Rashford penalty, United looked reasonably comfortable with being ahead. But in a lofted ball over the top, Maguire seemed to get bullied out of the way by Chelsea centre-forward Michy Batshuayi, before the Belgian powered away and rifled home. Watch Manchester United Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below Despite seeing their side go on to win the game, fans of the Manchester side took to Twitter to voice their frustrations with the centre-back.

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Transfer Focus series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent transfer news… There’s no place like home. Although it’s not quite home, but it’s certainly somewhere he’s comfortable with. That’s the situation facing Leicester City defender Filip Benkovic as he goes on the search for more first-team football. What’s the story? According to a report from Football Insider , Benkovic would be open to leaving the King Power Stadium in the January transfer window and returning to Celtic. Benkovic signed for the Foxes back in the summer of 2018 before being sent out on loan to the Scottish Champions on deadline day last season whilst Brendan Rodgers was still in charge at Celtic Park. In Scotland, the Croatian made 27 appearances for them in all competitions ( via Transfermarkt ) as the Bhoys went on to win the domestic treble.

Leeds United fans on Twitter have been rejoicing after both Phil Hay and Adam Pope reported that Patrick Bamford has an injury ahead of this weekend’s game against QPR. The striker is currently suffering with an ankle problem, and fans seem quite happy about the fact that he won’t be playing this weekend. Watch Leeds United Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below As much as we don’t like to hear that a player is injured, you can understand why some fans are happy to hear that he’s not going to be lining up at Elland Road against QPR due to his ongoing goal drought. The striker hasn’t found the back of the net in any of his last nine league appearances. One would think that Bamford’s injury will hand an opportunity to Eddie Nketiah, but it remains to be seen how Marcelo Bielsa will lineup without the former Middlesbrough man this weekend. Here’s what the Elland Road faithful have had to say on Twitter… Could be a blessing in disguise — Ben Placito (@BenPlacito) Oct

The 38-time France international picked up an injury before Les Bleus’ Euro 2020 qualifier in Iceland, and has not played a minute since. Was Maurizio Sarri’s departure from Chelsea the best thing that could have happened to the club?

Tottenham Hotspur fans are desperate for the club to sell Serge Aurier to AC Milan in January. The Ivory Coast international has struggled throughout the start of the 2019/20 campaign, collecting one red card , while also conceding a penalty in the club’s 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. Nevertheless, Calciomercato claim that the Italian giants could be interested in making a move for the 26-year-old, who was said to have been offered to the Rossoneri in the summer transfer market. And supporters are desperate for him to leave, given his continuously erratic performances. Indeed, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane labelled Aurier and his full-back partner, Danny Rose, “dumb and dumber” after the clash with the Reds. Per WhoScored , in the Premier League, the 26-year-old has made five appearances and conceded two fouls on average per game, along with 1.4 fouls and a passing accuracy of just 78.6%. Take a look at the best of the reaction to the exit r

Pepijn Lijnders spoke ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Arsenal and his words have led many fans to call on him to be named as Jurgen Klopp’s successor. The Reds’ assistant manager joined the club in 2014 and many believe his continuation of Klopp’s philosophy would be the best route to take when he eventually departs. It is a somewhat surprising viewpoint when you look at Lijnders’ record in management. In his native Netherlands he spent just five months in charge of NEC Nijmegen from the beginning of 2018, but was sacked following his failure to get the club promoted from the Eerste Divisie. Taking over Liverpool would be a huge step up and a considerable task for a young coach with limited experience in the hot seat. Nevertheless, one fan thinks the 36-year-old is being “groomed” for the role and others are impressed with the way he handles himself, as well as recognising the responsibility he has already been given for League Cup fixtures. Here are some of the reactions

He may not be getting much of a look-in in the Manchester United first-team at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped Mason Greenwood showing the world exactly why he is a highly-regarded prospect. The 18-year-old struck twice in his first two senior starts for the Red Devils earlier this season against FC Astana and Rochdale respectively, but has been kept away from the limelight by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, playing just 102 minutes of Premier League football. On Tuesday night, Greenwood was playing for United’s U21s against Doncaster in the EFL Trophy, and with the scores locked level at 1-1 deep into injury-time, the 18-year-old stepped up to the occasion to fire home a dramatic winner . After seeing the forward’s latest goal, United fans flooded to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the teenage sensation. Many supporters of the Manchester side revealed their excitement at his incredible potential, and insisted he could be a big player for the first-team in the years to come. C

This article is part of Football FanCast’s   Pundit View  series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent quotes from journalists, pundits, players and managers… Marco Silva has praised Theo Walcott for his contributions to the side in recent times, claiming that the Englishman is a “really important player” for Everton. What did he say? Walcott has been a shining light this past month in what has been a very dark time for the club. Players across the pitch have failed to pull their weight, and the club have been fighting around the relegation zone ever since . Walcott once again played a hand in an Everton win, just as he did against West Ham United. His assist for Bernard’s goal against the Hammers and his assist for Holgate against Watford have shown he is a vital man for Silva right now. The Blues boss said : “Theo had a big impact again, the change we made [Walcott for Kean] had a big impact on our second half,” added Silva. “Theo was always a really important pla

The last League Cup encounter between the the two resulted in nine goals and eight scorers in an absolute barn-burner, would lightning strike twice? No!

What did he say? The latter has been out of action for a number of games now with an injury , and Solskjaer recently admitted that he could be out until December. Speaking before the Red Devils’ Carabao Cup clash against Chelsea on Wednesday night, the Norwegian chose to focus on the qualities Fred could bring to the table, instead of dwelling on missing their £89m man. Watch Manchester United Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below He said : “There is no use talking about who is not going to be here for a long, long time, because he (Pogba) is not going to come on the pitch and help us until he is fit. Paul’s been brilliant and he is a creative midfielder that w

A clip of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang being abused by his own fans as he was leaving the Emirates has emerged only hours after Shkodran Mustafi pushed the idea of togetherness on his Instagram. This is the second case of hostile player-fan interaction after club captain Granit Xhaka was booed and berated by his home crowd on Sunday afternoon – a treatment the Swizterland international didn’t take particularly kindly to. Watch Arsenal Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below It’s easy to forget that players, like the rest of us, are just normal people. No one likes underperforming at work and letting others down, and that’s especially the case for individuals that are open to global scrutiny on a daily basis; unlike the majority of us who can escape the office after a tough day, they can’t simply switch off. With all the problems currently surrounding the club, Mustafi and Aubameyang have clearly taken the initiative to try and improve the fractious situation. After Mustafi

Arsenal defender David Luiz paid homage to his friends in Rwanda by celebrating like a gorilla during Sunday’s clash against Crystal Palace. At a time where controversy fills Arsenal’s media columns, an encounter between Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang  and fans being the latest miserable episode , this news will come as a wholesome respite. There’s a good reason for Luiz’s touching tribute, as well. Arsenal have a partnership with Visit Rwanda and the Brazilian is the club’s representative. Watch Arsenal Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below The 32-year-old spent the recent international break on a trip to the country, which was well documented on his Instagram page . Helping with local conservation efforts, Luiz was snapped planting trees and even spent time amongst a family of wild gorillas.

Hugging is the name of the game for man-management apex Jurgen Klopp, whose warm embracing methods have earned him an unrivalled reputation amongst the footballing world. October marked four years since the German took the reins from former boss Brendan Rodgers. In that time, he’s revolutionised Liverpool’s squad by signing key players like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, turned the Reds into one of the best sides in the world, won the Champions League and dished out more hugs than a Disney Princess at Magic Kingdom during school holidays. Watch Liverpool Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below Speaking about Klopp’s management style, van Dijk told the Mirror back in January: “There is something about Klopp that makes him stand out. It’s not just his energy, I think it’s his ­man ­management. “Klopp makes you feel great.

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Pundit View series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent quotes from journalists, pundits, players and managers… Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that Chelsea’s youngsters are ahead of Manchester United’s at the moment. What did he say? The Blues will face the Red Devils in the next round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, and it will likely be a chance to see both sides’ younger players at Stamford Bridge. Was Maurizio Sarri’s departure from Chelsea the best thing that could have happened to the club? Find out why in the video below… Speaking ahead of the game, the Norwegian boss said : “Frank has got players that have been on loan for one or two seasons in the Championship. The difference between my youngsters is that they are almost stepping right now onto the scene. “Axel Tuanzebe has missed the last couple of games, but he has been out on loan (at Aston Villa last season) and you can see the benefit.

The pressure is really beginning to crank up on Unai Emery. Arsenal started the season quite well, winning their first two Premier League games of the season against Newcastle and Burnley, but they have now won just two of their last eight matches in the competition. They were even 2-0 up against Crystal Palace, but they contrived to draw 2-2, which is exactly what happened against Watford as well. Watch the moment Granit Xhaka’s Arsenal career may have come to an ugly end in the video below… The Granit Xhaka incident versus the Eagles will have done him no favours either and, as such, many Gunners fans want Emery out of the door as soon as possible. They have also been talking about who they want to replace him, and it seems Ajax boss Erik ten Hag is a popular choice. The 49-year-old led de Godenzonen to the Champions League semi-finals last term and also won the Eredivisie. The Emirates Stadium faithful have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts.
