Ex-Chelsea star Florent Malouda has had a truly wild life since retiring in 2018

January is the month that delivers many surprises in the footballing world, but there are not many as unexpected as this – the switch from the pitch to army life.

It is a long way from his days playing on the hallowed Stamford Bridge turf, where he won many trophies, including the Premie...

Diogo Jota names his three favourite Liverpool teammates ever - includes retired star

Diogo Jota is a huge fan favourite on the pitch at Liverpool, now midway through his fifth season at the club. He has been a part of very good sides under Jurgen Klopp and now Arne Slot, though he has not achieved the team success his career has perhaps deserved. Throughout his time on Merseyside, the Portuguese winger has won just an FA Cup and a pair of EFL Cups, but more silverware appears to be on the horizon. The Reds are in an excellent position at the top of both the Premier League and...

Wayne Rooney named controversial Man United player as favourite teammate of his career

Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur | Free Betting Tips & Predictions | Footy Accumulators

Everton vs Tottenham PredictionNeither side is in particularly great form coming into this one, so we are opting for a draw in this game. Everton are still struggling in front of goal, as the Toffees have only scored once in their last five Premier League games and are without a goal in their previous three home games, so expect this to continue despite playing a Spurs side who have shown defensive frailties as of late. Everton's recent results have been low-scoring affairs, with the last seven...

The 10 players with the most fouls in Premier League history have been named and ranked

While these days it may be frowned upon, the allure of the dark arts was a key component in Premier League football. Perhaps with the introduction of VAR, players are less inclined to showcase their aggression on the pitch, knowing that all actions can be reviewed. However, in the absence of technology, there was plenty of recklessness between players. Fouling is an important aspect of football, whether it be tactical or an honest attempt at winning the ball back. It can be violent, or minima...

Frank Lampard named the two toughest goalkeepers he faced during his career

As one of the greatest goalscoring midfielders of his generation and in Premier League history, Frank Lampard knows a thing or two about good goalkeepers. He came up against his fair share of dominant shot-stoppers throughout his 21-year career and played alongside them too. The Chelsea legend spent 13 years in west London, where he won almost every trophy possible, scoring 211 goals on his way to becoming the club's record goalscorer. He’s seen the best of the best, from Peter Schmeichel to...

Troy Deeney named the player he ‘hated’ playing against during his career

Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has faced his fair share of tough defenders in his time, but there was one in particular who stood out above the rest for the Englishman. Deeney played his entire top-flight career with Watford, scoring 47 goals in 165 appearances. He was a physical attacker, making defenders' lives just as difficult as they made his. In 2018, when Deeney and Watford were still playing in the Premier League, the player revealed to BBC Radio 5 Live’s The Monday Night C...
