As usual, the draw has delivered a familiar mix of giant clashes, tricky away trips, and classic cup narratives. Arsenal and Chelsea were both handed ties against Football League opposition, while Liverpool could be set for a heavyweight Premier League showdown with Brighton & Hove Albion, but only if they first navigate their third-round encounter with Barnsley on Monday night.

Arsenal had to dig deep themselves in the previous round, surviving a stern test from Championship side Portsmouth before sealing progression. Their reward is a meeting with Wigan Athletic, the 2013 FA Cup winners who know all too well how to spring surprises in this competition.

Chelsea, meanwhile, began life under Liam Rosenior in emphatic fashion with a commanding win over Charlton Athletic. Fate then added an interesting twist, pairing the Blues with Hull City, Rosenior’s former club.

The headline fairy tale from the third round belonged to Macclesfield. The sixth-tier side—only purchased off Rightmove in 2020, produced one of the shocks of the season by convincingly dumping out defending champions Crystal Palace. Their reward? Another crack at top-flight opposition, this time against Brentford, as their remarkable cup journey continues.

Not everyone enjoyed a smooth passage. Manchester United were among the biggest names to exit the competition, falling to Brighton in a bruising third-round defeat at Old Trafford. Brighton’s prize for that upset is a fourth-round tie against either Liverpool or Barnsley, setting up the possibility of another major scalp.

Elsewhere, there are several eye-catching fixtures across the draw, with Premier League sides facing stern tests and lower-league teams dreaming of another famous night.

2025–26 FA Cup Fourth Round Draw

• Liverpool or Barnsley vs Brighton & Hove Albion
• Stoke City vs Fulham
• Oxford United vs Sunderland
• Southampton vs Leicester City
• Wrexham vs Ipswich Town
• Arsenal vs Wigan Athletic
• Hull City vs Chelsea
• Burton Albion vs West Ham United
• Burnley vs Mansfield Town
• Norwich City vs West Bromwich Albion
• Port Vale vs Bristol City
• Grimsby Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
• Aston Villa vs Newcastle
• Manchester City vs Salford or Swindon
• Macclesfield vs Brentford
• Birmingham City vs Leeds United

With giant-killings already setting the tone and plenty of intriguing storylines still unfolding, the fourth round promises more drama, the kind only the FA Cup can deliver.

Ties confirmed ✅

Holders Crystal Palace will begin their title defence with what looks like a fairytale clash, drawing non-league Macclesfield in a matchup that embodies everything magical about the competition.

Elsewhere, the draw delivered heavyweight meetings that will immediately test the resolve of some Premier League giants. Manchester United were handed a tricky home tie against Brighton & Hove Albion, a team that hasn’t exactly been shy in Manchester in recent seasons.

For Ruben Amorim and his men, it’s an opportunity to bury the sting of their shocking Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby Town, but Brighton’s growing confidence makes this anything but straightforward.

Over in north London, Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa stands out as one of the most eye-catching pairings of the round. Unai Emery’s Villa have been a thorn in the side of top teams, and a trip to face Spurs sets the stage for one of the round’s most tightly balanced encounters.

Some of England’s other big sides will be packing their bags for potentially awkward away days. Arsenal are off to Fratton Park for a gritty meeting with Championship side Portsmouth, a ground known for its old-school intensity. Chelsea, meanwhile, remain in the capital but still face a stern test as they cross London to take on Charlton Athletic.

At Anfield, Arne Slot’s under-pressure Liverpool have been paired with League One’s Barnsley, a team with a history of causing trouble for bigger clubs in this tournament. The champions of England, Manchester City, are set to welcome Exeter City to the Etihad, a tie that looks straightforward on paper but will still require focus.

Two all-Premier League battles add further spice to the mix. Everton face high-flying Sunderland at Goodison Park, while Newcastle United will host Bournemouth in what many are already calling the “Eddie Howe Derby.”

All fixtures are scheduled to take place across the weekend of January 9 to 12, when the country’s oldest cup competition once again delivers its unique blend of hope, heartbreak, and giant-killing potential.

The Blues will pay a £2 million loan fee for the highly rated 20-year-old, who had initially been on the verge of joining Leeds United. Chelsea made their move earlier in the week after missing out on Xavi Simons, who completed a switch to Tottenham.

Although Chelsea explored alternatives such as Fermin Lopez, Buonanotte quickly emerged as their preferred option. The agreement with Brighton is a straight loan with no option to buy, as the Seagulls remain keen to keep long-term control of the Argentine midfielder’s future.

Buonanotte’s arrival marks Chelsea’s first piece of deadline day business, on what is shaping up to be a busy window finale. His signing also comes amid fresh developments around Nicolas Jackson, who is edging closer to a loan move to Bayern Munich after renewed talks between the two clubs.

The Argentine youngster, who spent last season on loan at Leicester City, is expected to provide valuable cover for Cole Palmer, who missed Chelsea’s victory over Fulham last weekend through injury.

BlueCo, the consortium that owns both Chelsea and French club Strasbourg, has finalized an agreement to sign Julio Enciso from Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 21-year-old Paraguayan midfielder, currently sidelined with a knee injury, will initially link up with Strasbourg before eventually making the switch to Stamford Bridge. The deal is worth around £13.8 million, with Enciso already having agreed on personal terms.

Enciso’s arrival extends BlueCo’s recruitment trend from Brighton since taking charge of Chelsea in 2022. Should the move be completed, he will become the fifth player acquired from the Seagulls after Moisés Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Robert Sánchez, and João Pedro. Unlike Enciso, however, those players joined Chelsea directly.

Signed from Paraguayan side Libertad in 2022, Enciso made 57 senior appearances for Brighton. He struggled for game time last season under new manager Fabian Hürzeler and was loaned to Ipswich Town in January. Despite Ipswich’s eventual relegation, he impressed with two goals and three assists in 13 games.

On the international stage, Enciso has been capped 27 times by Paraguay, scoring four goals since making his debut as a 17-year-old in 2021.

While fans will be eager to see him in action, Enciso’s debut for Strasbourg will have to wait until he completes his recovery from injury.

The wait is almost over. After months of transfer rumours, preseason tours, and tactical fine-tuning, the Premier League is set to roar back into action this weekend.

Fans across the globe are bracing themselves for another nine months of football drama, as England’s top flight kicks off its 2025/26 campaign.

Defending champions Liverpool will have the honour of opening the season on Friday night when they welcome Bournemouth to Anfield. But it’s Sunday’s clash between Manchester United and Arsenal that’s shaping up to be the headline fixture of the opening weekend—a meeting between two old rivals with renewed title ambitions.

Premier League teams flew thousands of miles over summer in anticipation of the upcoming season. After completing their tour by winning the Premier League Summer Series trophy, Manchester United brought their preparations to the United States. As part of their global expansion, Arsenal attracted sizable crowds in Asia, including stops in Singapore and Hong Kong.

As always, the new season offers contrasting objectives for different clubs. At the top, the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, and United will scrap for silverware, while others are bracing for a survival fight to ensure their names remain in England’s most prestigious league.

The start of a new campaign also means fresh kits for fans to admire—or debate. Liverpool’s striking new home strip has dominated the headlines, while Arsenal’s bold third kit design has been widely praised for its daring look.

The Premier League remains home to some of the best footballers on the planet—and some of the highest earners. With wealthy club owners, lucrative broadcast deals, and massive sponsorships, England’s top division continues to boast a financial muscle few leagues can match.

The new season starts here.

For millions of fans, the start of the season also signals the return of Fantasy Premier League battles. Whether it’s office bragging rights or group-chat supremacy, the race to assemble the perfect squad begins now.

As the 2025/26 season gets underway, the stage is set for another year of unforgettable goals, nail-biting finishes, and high-stakes drama. The whistle is about to blow—let the games begin.

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on Premier League 2025/26: Everything to Know Before Kick-Off.

Premier League giants Chelsea FC have confirmed the signing of Brazilian forward Joao Pedro from Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal reportedly worth up to £60 million.

The 23-year-old attacker has penned a seven-year contract with the London club and has already travelled to the United States to join manager Enzo Maresca and his squad ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

According to FIFA regulations, clubs participating in the tournament are permitted to register new players between June 27 and July 3, which means Pedro is eligible to make his debut when Chelsea face Palmeiras in the quarter-finals on Saturday in Philadelphia.

“I grew up watching the Premier League, and Chelsea were a club that won trophies. So, when you join Chelsea, you can only think one thing: to win trophies,” Pedro said after the announcement.

“Every competition, you have to think, ‘I play for Chelsea and that is my ambition’.

A post shared by Chelsea FC (@chelseafc)

Chelsea fended off competition from Newcastle United, who reportedly submitted a £50 million bid that was ultimately turned down.

It is understood Pedro had his heart set on a move to Stamford Bridge, prioritising Chelsea over other suitors.

Pedro’s transfer also activates a sell-on clause agreed when Watford sold him to Brighton in 2023 for £35 million.

The Hornets are expected to receive 20% of the profit, benefiting from Brighton’s strategic transfer dealings.

This move continues Chelsea’s recent trend of recruiting top talent from the South Coast club, with Pedro becoming the fourth major player to make the switch from Brighton to West London since 2022.

His move follows in the footsteps of Marc Cucurella (£63m), Robert Sanchez (£25m), and Moises Caicedo (£115m), bringing Chelsea’s total Brighton-related spending to a staggering £260 million.

Pedro, who netted 30 goals in 70 appearances for Brighton, is seen by Chelsea as a flexible offensive option.

He is expected to operate either as a central striker or in supporting roles across the front line, offering tactical versatility for Maresca’s evolving squad.

With a chance to lift silverware in just his first month at the club, all eyes will be on Joao Pedro as he begins his journey in blue, starting possibly with a high-stakes Club World Cup debut.

Joao Pedro is a Blue! 💙

To qualify for the award, which debuted in the 2019/20 season with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold as its first recipient, players must have started the season aged 23 or younger.

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, who scooped the prize last year, returns to the shortlist and could become only the second footballer to defend the title after Phil Foden’s consecutive wins in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons.

The full nominee list includes

• Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)
• Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest)
• Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool)
• Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth)
• Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
• Joao Pedro (Brighton & Hove Albion)
• Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
• William Saliba (Arsenal)

Despite Ipswich Town’s relegation, young striker Liam Delap has made history by becoming the first player from a relegated team to be nominated. Delap impressed with 12 goals and proved his mettle even as his side struggled. His individual brilliance hasn’t gone unnoticed, with top-flight clubs monitoring him closely.

From Nottingham Forest, winger Anthony Elanga earns his place thanks to a productive campaign that saw him deliver 10 assists and score six goals. His contributions were vital for Forest’s survival push, and he continues to cement his status as a consistent creator.

Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch, also nominated for the senior Player of the Season accolade, finds himself in contention here as well. The Dutchman has been instrumental in midfield, adapting seamlessly to a deeper role under new manager Arne Slot. His defensive prowess and tactical discipline played a key role in Liverpool’s title push.

Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen is another standout. The Spanish centre-back, who is reportedly set for a big-money move to Real Madrid, capped off an excellent debut season in England by earning a deserved nomination. His commanding presence at the back has been a highlight for the Cherries.

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer continues to shine after last season’s breakout. While his numbers may not have matched last year’s heights, 15 goals and eight assists remain an impressive return. Only Bruno Fernandes has created more chances than Palmer this season.

Joao Pedro of Brighton has built a reputation as one of the Premier League’s brightest young forwards. The Brazilian, known for both his finishing and creativity, has also emerged as a reliable penalty taker. His performances have significantly increased his market value.

Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers has blossomed under manager Unai Emery. Now a full England international, the 21-year-old midfielder has racked up eight goals and nine assists in what has been a standout campaign. With double digits in sight, Rogers is pushing for elite company.

Arsenal’s William Saliba rounds out the list. Widely praised as one of the league’s most dependable centre-backs, the French international helped marshal the Gunners’ formidable defence. He boasts a league-leading 79.5% success rate in one-on-one duels and was key to the side keeping 12 clean sheets.
