⚽ West Ham come from behind to see off Pompey⚽ Kyle Walker seals shootout win for Burnley⚽ Millwall keeper Lukas Jensen saves all four QPR spot-kicksQPR 0-0 Millwall. There’s not a lot going on at Loftus Road in today’s only 2pm kick-off. Rangers have had most of the ball, Millwall have just had their first (off-target) shot at goal, and that’s it.Pre-main-flurry-of-matches postbag. “How is there football already?” splutters Kári Tulinius. “Doesn’t it ever stop?

We recently caught up with Danny Simpson, who picked between his 2015/16 Leicester City squad and last season’s title winners, Arsenal. The post Danny Simpson picks his Leicester 2015/16 & Arsenal 2025/26 combined XI appeared first on Planet Football.

Teenage winger Jeremy Monga may be given playing time in the academy after joining from Leicester, while goalkeeper Pierce Charles and winger Mathys Detourbet both immediately went out on loan after joining.
Matthias Jaissle, Eddie Howe's replacement at Newcastle United, might not be too well known given that his only head coaching roles to date have been in Austria and Saudi Arabia. So who is the man arriving to take charge at St James' Park?
