It's clear in football that the majority of the time, the home team has a massive advantage and there are many reasons for that. The crowd has a positive impact on their players and allows them to play with the kind of confidence that they wouldn't possess on their travels, and they are also playing on a surface that they're used to and will know better than the players on the opposition team.

Callum Altimas — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 20:34:05 GMT

Over the years, more and more ways to track player performances through data have emerged. One huge metric that is used at great length these days is expected goals, or xG. This is a certain form of data used to measure how good a chance is when someone takes a shot and identifies whether they should have scored it or not. On the flip side, expected goals saved effectively represents the number of goals a 'keeper should have let in but didn't, and therefore how much they've over-performed by when it comes to shot-stopping.

Daniel Hepburn — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 17:04:46 GMT

Arguably one of the most lucrative sports in the world, footballers are often among the richest athletes – and not only because of their contentious pay packets that dwarf many other occupations.

Lineker, Richards and Shearer rank the best Premier League midfield duos of all-time

Callum Bishop — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 22:00:43 GMT

The middle of the park is arguably the most important area of the football pitch, serving as a bridge between the defence and attack, where players have to be as well-rounded as they come. Midfielders need to have energy to burn while also being composed enough to spot a pass, gritty enough to make big tackles, and even have an eye for goal. It's a very specific skill set and not one that everyone can possess.

Sometimes in football, it's not just about winning, it's also about beating a rival. Indeed, the joy of a good victory can be doubled by the schadenfreude felt when it also comes at the expense of a team you don't like. This is why derby matches tend to be particularly tense affairs.

Christy Malyan — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 19:35:14 GMT

The January transfer window has always been a curious phenomenon. The ugly sister to its summer sibling, which is more synonymous with idealistic, big-money rebuilds that promise an exciting future, the winter equivalent is usually more about managers righting some wrongs, addressing fatal flaws and sparing Premier League fans from their respective club's potential nightmare - whether that's missing out on European qualification or suffering relegation from the top flight.

Premier League powerhouse duo Manchester City and Chelsea could face a shock relegation from the English top-flight on the back of Everton's 10-point deduction, which has set a ‘powerful precedent’, according to a former financial advisor to Man City.

Manchester United's capitulation in Copenhagen in the Champions League earlier this year was a huge source of humiliation. These sorts of spineless defeats for the Red Devils have become less and less surprising over the last ten years. It's clear that United are a pale imitation of the formidable force constructed under Sir Alex Ferguson's 27 years in charge and Erik ten Hag is the latest manager who looks set to fail to follow in the Scotsman's footsteps.

Life after football is a conundrum that every Premier League player will face one day. Do they take the money and disappear off into the sunset, do they spend their evenings and weekends sat in punditry booths criticising the team-mates and managers they used to rub shoulders with, or do they stay within the game itself and use everything they learned on the pitch to start barking orders from the touchline?

Make no mistake about it, football academies have struggled to maintain the same significance for Premier League clubs that they enjoyed when the modern incarnation of the English top flight came into being in 1992. Nowadays, it's much easier and safer for a manager to spend tens of millions on a new signing who has alredy established himself in a foreign league, rather than attempting to blood in a youngster from his own club's youth system.
