The German Bundesliga is one of the top 5 leagues in the world but often, people give less attention to the league especially if it’s Bayern who is winning all the time.

Valencia is a team that had struggled for the past few seasons and a takeover by the Singapore billionaire, Peter Lim in 2014 was supposed to herald a new era for Valencia after years of financial hardship, but it certainly wouldn't work that way.

Inter has resurrected, Napoli are looking like they could do it, Roma are really strong, Juventus have the credibility to do it again and Lazio could pull a surprise...

Dele Alli is a talented footballer, no doubt. The twenty year old player has been one of the most important players for Mauricio Pochettino’s team since his arrival a couple of years ago.

Perhaps one of the most underrated football managers in the world right now is Leonardo Jardim.

When Jose Mourinho was appointed Manchester United manager in 2016, and it was seen as very bad news for the club’s academy by some fans.

Compared to most other managers in the Premier League, Sean Dyche’s managerial career is at its infancy.

Claudio Ranieri may not be spoken of in the same breath as other managers like Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, etc., but he certainly deserves a lot of respect.

For much of the season, fans have tried to work out what sort of team Everton are. The Toffees are not a passing, pressing or high-energy team. They are not a team that grinds out wins or a long ball team.

Manchester United finally succumbed to a loss in the Premier League on the weekend, and it was to an unexpected side. Juan Mata and Victor Lindelof made individual mistakes that provided Huddersfield with openings that led to two goals and eventually gave them their first win over Manchester United in sixty-five years.
