Two new eras will commence at Portman Road on Saturday lunchtime when Ipswich Town and Liverpool open their respective Premier League campaigns against each other.

For the Tractor Boys, it marks the end of a prolonged absence from the top tier of English football. Meanwhile, Liverpool will also be stepping into a new chapter as they embark on their first competitive match under new manager Arne Slot.

Ipswich Town

Unlike upcoming opponents, Ipswich Town have welcomed several new faces through the doors of Portman Road following their second successive promotion. As the runners-up of League One in the 2022/23 season, they narrowly missed out on Championship glory to Leicester City. However, their second-place finish was still eno…

Qatari football officials have reiterated they can host the 2022 FIFA World Cup as normal and that the tournament does not need to be moved.

Concerns have been raised regarding the temperatures in the Middle East during the normal months of June and July when a World Cup is normally staged, but the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee insist there will be no problems.

The safety of players and fans had been called into question if the temperatures in Qatar soared over 40 degrees and moving the competition to a cooler time of the year has been mooted.

UEFA announced on Thursday that their 54 member associations backed the plan to move the event, but the Qatar organising committee do not believe it is necessary.

We bid for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in summer and are fully co…

Xabi Alonso will not allow Bayer Leverkusen s Europa League final defeat against Atalanta to alter his pride, after their historic 51-game unbeaten run ended on Wednesday.

The Bundesliga champions were eyeing an unlikely treble, with the DFB-Pokal final to come this weekend, but those plans came crashing down in a 3-0 loss to Atalanta.

Ademola Lookman single-handedly powered Gian Piero Gasperini s side to their first title in 61 years, producing an individual performance for the ages with a decisive hat-trick.

European heartbreak marked Leverkusen s first loss this season, with their last defeat coming to Bochum on the last day of the 2022-23 Bundesliga campaign, as Alonso s side were finally stopped.

Yet the former Liverpool and Bayern Munich midfielder …

England, Croatia and the Czech Republic are all heading into the last 16 of Euro 2020 following their respective results on Tuesday, but it was an unhappy evening for Scotland.

Gareth Southgate s Three Lions did what was required to secure top spot, knowing that anything other than a victory would have seen the Czech Republic go through as Group D winners.

At Hampden Park it was a straight shootout between Croatia and Scotland, with the victors prolonging their tournament or both departing early in the event of a draw.

Using Opta data, Stats Perform reviews the best facts from Group D s conclusion.

Brighton managed a remarkable second-half comeback as Georginio Rutter scored one and played a key role for another in a thrilling 3-2 home victory over Tottenham.

Ange Postecoglou s visitors had won their last five games, including their EFL Cup and Europa League exploits, and started well on Sunday as in-form Brennan Johnson scored for a sixth straight outing.

James Maddison doubled the away side s lead before the interval, aided by Bart Verbruggen s handling blunder, but Yankuba Minteh halved that deficit after the restart with a thumping finish.

Destiny Udogie was somewhat at fault for Minteh s finish, and the Spurs defence again struggled as Rutter restored parity before the hour mark after dancing around a couple of defenders.

Former Leeds United st…

Virgil van Dijk never had any doubts over the Netherlands in their Euro 2024 quarter-finals, in which they moved one step closer with a comeback victory over Turkiye.

The Oranje fell behind to Samet Akaydin s 35th-minute opener as Turkiye scored their fourth Euro 2024 goal form a defender, the most by any nation in a single edition of the European Championship.

Yet Stefan de Vrij levelled with a thumping 70th-minute header, his first international goal since March 2015 against Spain, before Mert Muldur bundled into his own net just six minutes later.

That secured a Euros sem-final clash with England on Wednesday as the Netherlands reached the last four at this competition for the first time since 2004.

Dutch captain Van Dijk, however, expected his side to…

This is one of those groups where things should be pretty straightforward, or at least that is how everything seems on paper. Mighty Bayern Munich should have no problems finishing first, revived Arsenal are expected to join the Bavarians in the next stage, and Olympiakos are likely to pip Dinamo Zagreb to the Europa League berth. However, considering that these kinds of groups often serve us a fair share of surprises, maybe pre-season predictions might not prove correct. Much will depend on the start the so-called weaker sides make in this year s competition.
