If you jumped on João Pedro for Chelsea's fixture run, you've been paid handsomely. Returns in six straight gameweeks is elite stuff and the form argument is strong. But now the fixtures turn, starting with Arsenal in Gameweek 28 and a tricky spell after that. A couple of his hauls have come from winning penalties, which won't always be there, and with so many forwards and mids entering great runs, this feels like an ideal 'sell high' moment.

New Balance is one of the world's fastest-growing sports brands. It has already taken a chunk out of Nike's trainers market worldwide with reported growth 19% in 2025 with revenue of over $9bn, according to figures in CNBC. It is now targeting the world of football and the brand that once adorned the shirts of then Premier League champions Liverpool is increasingly popular with some of the game's best players.

For the first time the Premier League is going to have its own customers. We're looking to build a business, but we're also looking to learn to see how that might be replicable around the world.

I think it's been all season like this. For me, it's just the way it is. It is the Premier League. It's a bit of war in the 16 [metre penalty area]. It's also one of my strengths, so sometimes I like the challenge as well.

Physically robust and quick across the ground, Ahanor excels in defensive duels while also contributing offensively. His ability to overlap, deliver accurate crosses and recover quickly in transition makes him the prototype of the modern attacking full-back or even a hybrid centre-back in systems requiring tactical flexibility.

A disastrous appointment was how Albion fan writer Chris Hall described it, while BBC Radio WM's Baggies reporter Steve Hermon called it a horror movie. Whatever the assessments, by appointing 34-year-old Ramsay in the first place, Albion showed they were prepared to stick with a high-stakes strategy.

Manchester United are interested in signing the talented young midfielder, and they are the strongest contenders to secure his signature. They need more physicality and defensive cover in the middle of the park, and Baleba would be an excellent addition.

I still think they'll be alright. I'm not falling for this 'they're too good to go down' but I do think they'll find a bit more than Nottingham Forest and West Ham. It's as simple as that. West Ham have got a little bit of momentum going and Forest were hit with a killer blow last minute against Liverpool. These are all little momentum turners - it can all change week to week.

Celtic are willing to consider a big offer for Sweden midfielder Benjamin Nygren, 24, in the summer amid increasing interest from Premier League clubs.

Tottenham weren't quite as dreadful as they were in losing 4-1 to Arsenal in November, but they were still extremely so, devoid of wit, energy, solidity, creativity, quality, and everything else one would hope to see in a football team. Make no mistake, they are in serious danger of going down and, assessing their fixtures, it is not easy to see where they might win enough points to stay up

Ethan Ampadu, oh my word. His energy... his football intelligence, his technique. Do you remember him early doors at Chelsea? It was so different at Chelsea because he was a centre-half who was good on the ball, now he's playing centre-midfield and dictating play. He's been amazing.

Manchester City are five points and a game in hand behind Arsenal with three months to go. The Gunners stuttered against Wolves last Wednesday in a 2-2 draw, then demolished Tottenham 4-1 on Sunday. It's developed into the classic game of cat and mouse.

It would be a huge shock to see the Irons relegated back to the Championship for the first time since 2012, but an even greater surprise could still occur, as their London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, are only four points clear of the drop zone following their second 4-1 loss of the season in the North London derby to league leaders, Arsenal, on Sunday afternoon.

We're three points behind eighth place, eighth place qualifies for Europe it looks like, with the five Champions League places again next year. So why throw the Premier League away? It makes no sense. I know that we'll try to win the game tomorrow. That's what we can do. But on the other side, think about the Premier League.

The 18-year-old centre-back has impressed during his loan spell at Hamburg in the Bundesliga, attracting admiration after brilliant performances. As interest intensifies, Tottenham are understood to value the Croatian prospect at up to 61 million, a figure that shows both his potential and their determination to retain control over his future. Vuskovic has experience a meteoric rise in Bundesliga Hamburger SV have benefited significantly from Vuskovic's composure and physical maturity this season.

Thanks to moving from Upton Park to the London Stadium, West Ham have theoretically gained the most fans over the past 10 years. Their gates have risen by over 27,000 on average since 2015-16, although a large section of the Hammers fanbase still regret the stadium switch. While the London Stadium has a far higher capacity than Upton Park, it doesn't have a modicum of its charm.

Millwall will look to bounce back from Saturday's shock 3-1 home defeat by Portsmouth and consolidate their position in the Championship play-off places, against a Birmingham side who are aiming to narrow the gap to the top six.

Still only in his early twenties, the academy graduate has evolved into a sophisticated, multi-role performer who embodies the modern game's demand. His performances have not only strengthened Brighton's midfield and defensive structure but have also drawn serious attention from England's elite clubs, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

As this game ticked into the 97th minute, Liverpool snatched victory as Alexis Mac Allister feasted on a loose ball in the Nottingham Forest penalty area. Just before stoppage time, Arne Slot was apopoletic as Mac Allister saw an effort disallowed for handball, though in reality the Forest defender Ola Aina had smashed his clearance into the Liverpool midfielder's back and it flew in past Stefan Ortega, who initially saved Hugo Ekitike's header.
