Premier League 2025-26 full schedule; Man Utd clash with Arsenal in opener
Arsenal, who have narrowly missed out on the title in each of the past three seasons, will be eager to finally lift the trophy this year.
Shashwat Nishant New Delhi
Manchester United are set to welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford in a headline clash on the opening weekend of the 2025/26 Premier League season. The campaign kicks off on Friday, 15 August, with defending champions Liverpool hosting AFC Bournemouth under the lights.
Arsenal, who have narrowly missed out on the title in each of the past three seasons, will be eager to finally lift the trophy this year. Their journey begins on Sunday, 17 August, with a challenging trip to Manchester, a venue where they have managed just two league wins in the last 18 years.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will be hoping for a fresh start under manager Ruben Amorim, following a disappointing 15th-place finish last season. The club has already begun strengthening its squad, with the notable addition of forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

Klopp criticises expanded Club World Cup format, says it is football's worst idea
Former Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has criticised the introduction of the expanded Club World Cup format, calling it the worst idea ever implemented in football. In an interview with German newspaper Die Welt published late on Friday Klopp said the tournament would put more strain on an already packed calendar for the players. The expanded format features a 32-team event held every four years during the pre-season, in the summers between major international tournaments. 'It's a pointless competition. Whoever wins it will be the worst winner of all time because they'll have played all summer and then gone straight back into the league,' Klopp said. 'There are people who have never been involved in the day-to-day business of football and are now coming up with ideas.' Klopp pointed out that today's players are getting less and less time to rest, warning that adding another tournament was potentially dangerous for their health. 'It's too many games. I fear that next season we will see injuries like never before. If not then, they'll come during or after the Club World Cup,' the German said. Also read | What the Club World Cup tells us about revival of Brazilian League football 'There's no real recovery for those involved, neither physically nor mentally.' Klopp, who ended his highly successful nine-year stint with Liverpool in 2024, is now head of global football for Red Bull, owners of several clubs including RB Leipzig and New York Red Bulls. Klopp was also asked if he would like to coach again. 'I don't want that anymore. I have a job now that fulfils me and is also intense. I don't sleep in the morning and I don't go to bed later at night, but I can organise my work much better,' he said.

EA FC Mobile leak hints at the upcoming Defining Legacies side event structure: Possible dates, rewards, and more
EA FC Mobile fans might soon be getting an in-game flavor of football nostalgia. According to reliable FC Mobile leaker @madridistaa, a brand-new Defining Legacies side event will most likely arrive on July 3, 2025. The event is expected to run for two weeks and will honor three iconic club seasons that etched their names into footballing folklore. Here's everything you need to know about the possible upcoming Defining Legacies side event. Note: This article is purely based on leaks by @madridistaa and should be taken with a pinch of salt Leaked EA FC Mobile Defining Legacies chapters' breakdown Dubbed a side event, Defining Legacies will reportedly consist of five chapters, with dedicated segments for Chelsea, Juventus, and Real Madrid, along with a Main hub and a Gallery chapter for item claims. A milestone feature will also be present, adding an extra layer of incentive for grinding through the event. The rumored structure of the event includes: Chaper 1: Main - Likely the central hub for logging in progress and unlocking overall milestones. Chapter 2: Chelsea - It focuses on their legendary 2004-05 Premier League season, where they set the record for fewest goals conceded (just 15 goals in 38 games). Chapter 3: Gallery - A rewards-heavy chapter similar to previous events like Carnival. It's expected to feature three rows. Row 1 might have Players rated 108–109 OVR, Row 2 with 107 OVR players, and Row 3 with 106 OVR players Chapter 4: Juventus - Centers around their incredible 2011-12 Serie A campaign, where they went undefeated throughout the league. Chapter 5: Real Madrid - Celebrates their 2016-17 La Liga season, where Los Blancos made history by scoring in every single match of the league. Possible gameplay features and trivia The Chelsea chapter (C2) is expected to include a trivia mini-game, adding a fresh interactive twist. As you progress through this chapter and collect Legacy Points, you'll unlock milestone rewards at specific intervals: 5, 15, 25, 35, and 50 points. Meanwhile, the Main chapter (C1) will reportedly unlock a milestone path after completing any 3 of the 5 chapters, rewarding those who explore more than just their favorite club. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Преносим лазерен заваръчен пистолет, 50% отстъпка днес HL Купете сега Undo Gallery Rewards and Carnival event vibes The Gallery chapter (C3) is expected to work similarly to the fan-favorite Carnival event format. Here, players can use earned tokens or points to claim high-value rewards organized into three tiers based on OVRs. This setup hints at a strategy-driven event where you'll need to carefully decide which row to target depending on your squad needs and available resources. Possible release date and what to expect Though unconfirmed officially by EA, the event is highly likely to go live on July 3, 2025. With rich club-themed content, nostalgic storylines, trivia, and valuable player cards, Defining Legacies, if the rumor holds true, has great potential to be a standout mid-season side event in EA FC 25.

Paul Pogba looks to relaunch career after doping ban as Monaco announce signing of 2018 World Cup winner
French World Cup winner Paul Pogba has joined AS Monaco on a free transfer as he looks to revive his career after serving a doping ban. The club said on Saturday that Pogba has signed a two-year contract and posted videos and images of the 32-year-old wearing their red-and-white jersey. Interestingly, this will be the first time that Pogba plays in the French top flight despite having made over 90 appearances for France. Pogba was handed a four-year doping ban in February 2024 after testing positive for DHEA, which boosts testosterone levels. The suspension was cut to 18 months after a successful appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. This, coupled with his chronic injury troubles before the ban has led to the breaks being applied on Pogba's career but before those issues, the Frenchman was among the most bankable stars of the sport and considered one of the best midfielders in the world. With Monaco finishing third last season in the Ligue 1 standings, Pogba stands a chance at getting back to playing in the Champions League. Pogba's last club were Italian giants Juventus, who announced in November that they had mutually agreed to terminate his contract, which was due to expire in June 2026. While Pogba had first made a name for himself at Juventus between 2012 and 2016, his second stint with a club was disappointing, making just 12 appearances over the course of two seasons. Pogba made his start at French club Le Havre's academy but signed with Manchester United at age 16 in 2009. He failed to make a name for himself during the last of the club's glory days under Alex Ferguson but a transfer to Juventus in 2012 turned out to be the break he needed. Pogba quickly established himself in the starting lineup and went on to be recognised as one of the most exciting young midfielders in the world. He then returned to Manchester United for a then-record fee of 105 million euros in 2016 but his second stint at Old Trafford was a rather mixed one. While he showed flashes of brilliance which played a crucial role in the club winning the Europa League and the EFL Cup in the 2016/17 season, Pogba was also criticised multiple times for his work rate and inconsistency. Interestingly, his performances for France rarely wavered in this period and Pogba was a crucial architect of the side's 2018 World Cup victory. He scored one of the four goals in the final against Croatia, which France won 4-2.
