You can always rely on Chelsea to spice things up.
The latest twist in the increasingly chaotic tenure of BlueCo saw Liam Rosenior fired as manager just 106 days into a contract that was supposed to give him a whopping 2,001 days at the helm.
Chelsea have spent 2026 in turmoil and, after putting in perhaps the worst team performance in Premier League history against Brighton, are now tumbling out of the race for any sort of European action next season. Whoever came up with this so-called “project” probably needs a rethink at this point.
Vibes aren’t so low across England’s capital city at Arsenal, although only just. The Gunners have relinquished top spot in the title race and are in a straight shoot-out with Manchester City, tied on points with Pep Guardiola’s side with five games left to play.
Arsenal have the chance to ramp up the pressure this weekend when they welcome an out-of-sorts Newcastle United to the Emirates on Saturday. City’s focus is elsewhere this weekend as they make the trip down to Wembley for an FA Cup semifinal clash with Southampton.
The winner of that tie will advance to the final, where they may well have been expecting to face Chelsea before the Blues’ descent into madness raised questions over whether they have enough about them to see off Leeds United in Sunday’s semifinal.
Meanwhile, La Liga’s title race was handed the twist of a season-ending injury to Barcelona star Lamine Yamal. With Raphinha also sidelined, Hansi Flick’s attack has been severely blunted—but is that enough to throw away a nine-point lead over Real Madrid?
Álvaro Arbeloa’s side are in action first, facing a tricky trip to Real Betis on Friday knowing even perfection between now and the end of the season may not be enough to atone for their slip-ups across this dramatic season.
