Data shows England made inroads against Spain but they must be more clinical - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
England dominated Spain to an extent very few teams have in recent years. Sadly for them, not in terms of goals. Nor possession. But ownership of the ball is less important than where on the pitch it occurs. Thomas Tuchel’s side had 36 touches in the visitors’ penalty area, a ridiculously high total when put in context of Spain’s last decade. They allowed just 9.5 touches per 90 minutes at the 2026 World Cup. The combined efforts of Belgium, France and Argentina registered 38 touches in the Spai
How do England beat Spain, or even score against them? The data suggests crosses - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
England are about to face the hardest challenge in international football, maybe at any level of the game. They are going to try to score against Spain. Spain conceded one goal in eight games on the way to winning the World Cup while allowing their opponents 2.37 expected goals, a mere 0.30 per 90 minutes played.

Long-range hits and goals galore: inside the Premier League’s return to chaos - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Goals in the Premier League are up. Chaos is returning. End‑to‑end football is back. The division is more open, in more ways than one. The figures show a rise from 2.75 goals per game last season to 2.82 this year, a small average increase but one that could easily widen. The goals-per-game rate was at least 0.21 higher in the final 330 games than it was for the first 50 in four of the past five seasons. If 2026-27 has a similar upturn, it will become the second-highest scoring season in the Pre
Why Tottenham are misfiring … and it’s not just down to the lack of goals - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tottenham have failed to score in their opening four league games for the first time. Two decades have passed since they last drew blanks in four consecutive Premier League matches. While these are outliers, it will take time for Spurs to improve. Their level of player turnover, from last season to this and from week to week, is a problem. Only four men who played at least half of the league minutes last season have featured in 2026-27. One is Richarlison, who has since been omitted from their P
All change for Maresca: the data behind Manchester City’s rapid player turnover - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Manchester City have experienced a level of player turnover unthinkable in the Pep Guardiola era. Where Arne Slot benefited in his first Liverpool season by retaining the squad Jürgen Klopp bequeathed, Enzo Maresca must oversee the evolution of City while winning every week. Relying on relatively new players has not cost them Premier League points yet, but there could be reasons for concern before their derby at Old Trafford on Sunday. Most people assumed City would demolish Coventry. Fantasy Pr
