Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari kicks off the list after a quietly impressive month. The 22-year-old has already surpassed last season’s goal and assist numbers, registering two goals and two assists in four January appearances.

At Manchester United, Patrick Dorgu caught the eye during a flawless month under interim boss Michael Carrick. Deployed high up the pitch, the winger found the net against Arsenal and Manchester City, while also providing an assist during Darren Fletcher’s brief spell in charge.

Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández delivered when it mattered most, scoring late winners against Manchester City and West Ham. His January return of three goals and one assist under Liam Rosenior highlighted his growing leadership role in midfield.

West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville rediscovered his scoring touch after a long drought. Having gone without a league goal since October 2024, the Dutchman struck in three consecutive matches against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Sunderland.

Brentford striker Igor Thiago is chasing history, hoping to become the first player to win the award twice this season. He enjoyed a prolific month, scoring five goals, including a hat-trick against Everton and a brace against Sunderland.

Harry Wilson earns back-to-back nominations after another productive spell for Fulham. With goals against Chelsea, Brighton and Liverpool, the Welshman continues to push Marco Silva’s side toward European contention as his contract situation draws attention.

Completing the list is Florian Wirtz, who receives his first nomination since joining Liverpool. The German midfielder contributed three goals and one assist, standing out during a difficult month in which the Reds managed just one win from six league games.

Manager of the Month contenders

The managerial shortlist reflects dramatic turnarounds and impressive short-term impacts:

• Michael Carrick (Manchester United)
• Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest)
• Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)
• Liam Rosenior (Chelsea)

United interim boss Michael Carrick makes an immediate impression, guiding the Red Devils to back-to-back wins over Manchester City and Arsenal in his brief January spell.

At Nottingham Forest, Sean Dyche steadied the ship after a worrying run of four straight defeats. His side responded with two wins and a draw, suffering just one loss against Aston Villa.

Andoni Iraola also turned Bournemouth’s fortunes around. After enduring an 11-match winless run, the Cherries sparked into life with a dramatic 3–2 victory over Tottenham, followed by further wins against Liverpool and Wolves.

Chelsea’s Liam Rosenior rounds off the list after a dream start to his Premier League tenure. Victories over Brentford, Crystal Palace, and West Ham made him only the fourth English manager to win his first three league games.

With new names dominating both shortlists, January’s awards promise fresh winners and plenty of debate among fans before the final verdict is announced.

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

• 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.

So far this season, no player or coach has managed to win their respective awards twice, but that could change on the players’ side this month. On the managerial front, however, December is guaranteed to crown a fifth different winner.

December 2025 Premier League Player of the Month nominees

• Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United)
• Rayan Cherki (Manchester City)
• Hugo Ekitiké (Liverpool)
• Phil Foden (Manchester City)
• Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
• Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
• Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
• Harry Wilson (Fulham)

Leeds United’s revival in December owes a lot to Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The striker found the net six times in five league games, helping Leeds climb out of the relegation zone. Victories over Chelsea and Crystal Palace, combined with draws against Liverpool, Brentford and Sunderland, highlighted a gritty and productive month.

A seriously stacked list of nominees 😳

Manchester City dominate the shortlist with three nominees. Rayan Cherki was a creative force, producing four assists and a goal as City stormed to five wins. Phil Foden delivered at the other end, scoring four goals and adding an assist to cap off a strong run of form.

Erling Haaland, who picked up the award back in September, is eyeing a second win after another ruthless month in front of goal. The Norwegian recorded five goals and three assists, underlining his status as one of the league’s most feared forwards.

Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitiké kept pace with Haaland, also scoring five goals. His strikes proved decisive against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton, while he grabbed a brace in a high-scoring draw with Leeds.

Aston Villa are also well represented. Morgan Rogers ended December with four goals, while Ollie Watkins hit five during Villa’s impressive winning streak, which stretched to 11 matches before coming to an end against Arsenal.

Fulham winger Harry Wilson enjoyed a standout month as well. He chipped in with two important goals and four assists, playing a key role in pushing the Cottagers into the conversation for European qualification.

December 2025 Premier League Manager of the Month nominees

• Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
• Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
• Daniel Farke (Leeds United)
• Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)

Arsenal may be missing from the player shortlist, but Mikel Arteta remains in contention for managerial honours. Despite dealing with a defensive injury crisis, he guided the Gunners to five wins from six matches, strengthening their grip at the top of the table.

Four managers who dominated December 💪

Arteta’s December campaign featured two clashes with Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. While honours were shared overall, Villa recorded a notable win against Arsenal and also defeated Chelsea and Manchester United, keeping themselves firmly in the title race.

Down at the other end of the table, Daniel Farke deserves recognition for Leeds United’s turnaround. The Yorkshire side went unbeaten throughout December, navigating tough fixtures against Chelsea and Liverpool. A tactical reshuffle proved effective, helping Leeds pull clear of immediate danger.

Pep Guardiola rounds off the shortlist after Manchester City closed out 2025 in perfect fashion, winning all five of their league games. With three City players nominated for Player of the Month, the Spaniard’s inclusion comes as little surprise.

The Premier League has unveiled its shortlist for the April 2025 Player and Manager of the Month awards, with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United leading the charge after both clubs enjoyed standout months.

Player of the Month Nominees—April 2025

• Rayan Ait-Nouri (Wolves)
• Harvey Barnes (Newcastle United)
• Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool)
• Jacob Murphy (Newcastle United)
• Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
• Ryan Sessegnon (Fulham)
• Jorgen Strand Larsen (Wolves)

Wolves could break a long-standing drought, as the club has never produced a Premier League Player of the Month in the award’s 31-year history. Ait-Nouri and Strand Larsen, instrumental in Wolves’ six straight wins, aim to change that.

Strand Larsen and Barnes led the scoring charts with four goals each, while Jacob Murphy and Morgan Rogers dazzled with their creativity—Murphy racking up three goals and three assists, and Rogers leading the league with four assists.

Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister earned a nod for the quality of his goals, including two stunning top-corner strikes.

Seven of April’s top performers 🔝

Manager of the Month Nominees – April 2025

• Vitor Pereira (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
• Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
• Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
• Eddie Howe (Newcastle United)
• Arne Slot (Liverpool)

Though newly crowned champion Arne Slot led Liverpool to Premier League glory, Vitor Pereira is the overwhelming favourite for the managerial award. His Wolves side posted a perfect five-win April, part of a six-game winning streak not seen at the club since 1970.

Newcastle’s Eddie Howe earned a nomination despite missing half the month due to illness, while Emery and Guardiola delivered strong performances with their respective sides.

• Alex Iwobi sets a new record for Nigeria in the Premier League

Alex Iwobi has made history for Nigeria in the Premier League with a record-breaking performance in Fulham’s stunning 3-2 win over Liverpool in a dramatic five-goal thriller.

The dynamic midfielder delivered both a goal and an assist in the high-stakes clash at Craven Cottage, becoming the first Nigerian player ever to record 30 goals and 30 assists in Premier League history — a rare double milestone that highlights his evolution and consistency in England’s top flight.

Iwobi’s influential display was central to Fulham’s upset over the title-chasing Reds, who had been unbeaten away from home all season.

His contributions not only turned the tide in Fulham’s favor but also boosted his career Premier League stats to 34 goals and 30 assists, setting a new benchmark for Nigerian players in the league.

The match, filled with intensity and drama, saw Iwobi shine as the undisputed man of the moment — earning praise from fans, pundits, and teammates alike.

His performance delivered a major blow to Liverpool’s title ambitions, marking their first away loss of the campaign and igniting new conversations about Iwobi’s role as one of Nigeria’s finest exports to the Premier League.

Fulham is on the verge of completing a club-record deal for Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe, with an initial fee of £27m and potential add-ons totaling £34m.

While final details are being ironed out between the clubs, personal terms have been agreed in principle, paving the way for Smith Rowe to undergo a medical this week.

The 24-year-old’s playing time was limited last season due to a knee injury that kept him sidelined for six weeks in October, resulting in just three Premier League starts and 346 minutes of play.

Smith Rowe has already made his mark on the international stage, earning three senior England caps, with his last appearance in March 2022. He was also part of the triumphant UEFA European Under-21 Championship squad last summer.

Fulham departs for a pre-season training camp in Portugal on Tuesday, and it is expected that Smith Rowe will join his new teammates at some point during the camp, pending a successful medical.

Bayern Munich has finally secured the signing of Joao Palhinha from Fulham, marking the completion of a long-awaited deal that initially faltered in the summer of 2023. The midfielder, who had returned to Fulham after the initial move collapsed, signed a new contract with the club before Bayern revived their interest in him this transfer window.

Palhinha expressed his joy, describing it as one of the happiest days of his life. He highlighted his pride in joining one of Europe’s top clubs and expressed eagerness to contribute to Bayern’s success, aiming to win titles and make a significant impact at the Allianz Arena.

“This is one of the happiest days of my life,” Palhinha told Bayern club channels. “I am now playing for one of the absolute top clubs in Europe, it’s a dream come true for me and I’m very proud of that.

Sporting director Max Eberl added: “Joao Palhinha was already highly regarded at FC Bayern last summer – and rightly so! It was important that we never lost contact.

“Joao really wanted to come to FC Bayern and we need players like him. He is an important building block for our future. He has once again demonstrated his strengths on a big stage at the European Championships and brings a lot of experience with him, having previously played in a European Championship and a World Cup and around 300 competitive matches in the Portuguese and English leagues. He will give us even more stability in the centre.”

Palhinha joins Bayern as their third significant signing of the busy summer window, following the acquisitions of Hiroki Ito from Stuttgart and Michael Olise from Crystal Palace.

Chelsea has officially announced that centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo will join the club ahead of the 2024/25 season.

The 26-year-old has signed a four-year contract starting on July 1 and arrives from west London neighbors Fulham.

After signing for the Blues, Tosin said, “Chelsea is a huge club, and this is a full-circle moment for me. I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional debut there. I’m very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go.”

Co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart added, “We are delighted to bring Tosin to Chelsea. Throughout his career, he has showcased his maturity and defensive qualities and has gained a wealth of experience in the Premier League in recent seasons. He is ready to make the step up to Chelsea and work alongside the talented players in our squad. We look forward to Tosin joining up with us for pre-season.”

Born in London but raised in Manchester, Tosin began his career with Manchester City at the age of five. He moved through the club’s youth ranks and regularly captained the Under-18s at 16 years old.

His professional debut came in February 2016 at Stamford Bridge, starting for a youthful Man City side in the FA Cup. He made seven more first-team appearances over the next two campaigns.

Tosin enjoyed season-long loan spells in the Championship with West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers before leaving Man City permanently to join Fulham in October 2020.

His first campaign as a Premier League regular saw him make 33 appearances, earning much praise for his adaptation to the top flight.

He featured for Fulham 44 times the following season, playing a crucial role in their promotion from the Championship.

Since Fulham’s return to the Premier League, Tosin has made 45 top-flight appearances, helping the Cottagers finish tenth and 13th in the past two seasons.

Welcome to Chelsea, Tosin!

Fulham’s Alex Iwobi has etched his name into the Premier League record books! In a recent showdown against Newcastle United, Iwobi’s resilience and endurance shone through as he played the entire 90 minutes, pushing his total Premier League playing time to an impressive 16,289 minutes.

This remarkable achievement surpasses the previous record held by the legendary midfielder John Mikel Obi, who boasted 16,218 minutes on the field.

Iwobi’s journey to this milestone commenced with Arsenal back in 2015. Since then, he has been a mainstay at various clubs, accumulating invaluable minutes of play. This season, the 27-year-old has been pivotal for Fulham, featuring in 24 matches and netting five goals along the way.

While Mikel Obi may have previously held the record for most minutes, his illustrious career is adorned with a plethora of trophies. Throughout his remarkable 11-year tenure with Chelsea, Mikel secured two Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and the prestigious Champions League trophy in 2012.

This historic achievement underscores Iwobi’s unwavering commitment and consistency in the Premier League. As he continues to carve his path in football, the footballing world eagerly anticipates if he can further augment his minutes on the pitch and perhaps challenge Mikel Obi’s legacy with future triumphs.

Recall, After a period of quiet following the challenges faced during the AFCON finals, Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi has made a return to social media with a video post on his Instagram account.

The video showcases highlights from his football journey and personal experiences, set to the backdrop of a rap song. In the caption, he simply writes “Lately…”

Fans speculate that the rap, possibly penned by Iwobi himself, delves into his life narrative. The lyrics touch upon themes of overcoming obstacles, self-belief, and achieving success despite facing skepticism from others.

The rap starts with, “Never thought I’d make it, but now people know me,” showing how he’s become famous. Later, he says things like, “Everything was worth it, now I’m known worldwide,” celebrating his achievements. He also seems to be talking to people who didn’t believe in him, saying, “They said I wasn’t good enough.”
