Football live news and scores: Latest updates and reaction

Wolverhampton Wanderers fear they may have lost Pedro Neto for the remainder of the season.

Neto, 24, missed eight games earlier this season with a hamstring issue and Gary O'Neil has revealed an injury to the other could now rule the Portugal international out for much of — if not all of — the team's run-in.

“With Pedro, that is potentially the end of the season for him," the manager said after Saturday's defeat to Coventry City in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

“It’s very similar to the injury that he suffered on the other hamstring.

“There is a chance that he gets back for the last couple of games, maybe, if it goes really well."

However, there is better news for Matheus Cunha (hamstring), Jeanricner Bellegarde (knee) and Craig Dawson (groin) who could all return after the international break.

Hwang Hee-chan is on track in his own recovery from a hamstring issue and is expected back in five weeks.

Only two goals in the Premier League so far this afternoon but both could mean a great deal at the bottom of the table.

• Burnley 1-0 Brentford
• Luton Town 0-1 Nottingham Forest

Haji Wright hailed Coventry City's belief after the USMNT forward scored a 100th-minute winner to eliminate Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers from the FA Cup.

Coventry had trailed 2-1 at Molineux heading into second-half stoppage time after two late goals from Rayan Ait-Nouri and Hugo Bueno had overturned Ellis Simms' opener.

But the visitors staged a late comeback of their own, with Simms levelling the scores in the 97th minute before Wright struck on the stroke of full-time to secure a 3-2 victory and an FA Cup semi-final spot.

"I said it many times before, we've a lot of quality in our side," Wright told ITV Sport. "And as long as we believe and keep trying and I think we'll get our chances. And today we were able to take three of them, and it's enough for the win.

"It's amazing to make it to Wembley on such an occasion and such a game. It's great fun for all of us. Hopefully we can enjoy it and then get back to work."

A reminder of what we have on tap today in the Premier League where there are just three fixtures to keep an eye on today due to FA Cup action.

All times GMT

• Burnley vs Brentford (3pm)
• Luton vs Nottingham Forest (3pm)
• Fulham vs Tottenham (5:30pm)

Brentford have been handed a huge boost with Bryan Mbeumo back on the bench for their match at Burnley today.

The Cameroon international, 24, has been sidelined since early December with an ankle injury picked up in the defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Ideally he is not needed, of course, with Manchester United coming up following the international break.

Thomas Frank's sit 12 points ahead of their hosts at kick-off but only five clear of the bottom three.

Nottingham Forest’s preparations for their final 10 games of the season have been disrupted by a fresh injury to striker Taiwo Awoniyi.

Awoniyi will not be involved in Saturday afternoon's game at Luton Town that pits 17th-placed Forest against the team directly below them in the Premier League table.

Initial tests have indicated the 26-year-old is likely to miss a number of other matches.

Forest are three points ahead of Luton but expect to hear on Monday whether will face a points dedication for breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules.

Awoniyi, who has already missed a chunk of the season with injury, has been named in Nigeria’s squad for their forthcoming games against Ghana and Mali but is expected to be withdrawn.

Ryan Gravenberch is back in contention for Liverpool’s FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United on Sunday — but Ibrahima Konate looks set to miss the trip to Old Trafford.

Netherlands midfielder Gravenberch has sat out of the past five matches after damaging ankle ligaments during last month’s Carabao Cup final triumph over Chelsea, while Konate picked up a muscle problem in last week’s Europa League clash with Sparta Prague.

“Ryan trained again today so he’s ready,” Klopp said.

“Ibou didn’t train today. We will have to see whether he can train tomorrow. It will be a tight race (for Sunday) that we will probably lose.”

Young midfielder Bobby Clark went off in discomfort during Thursday’s 6-1 thrashing of Sparta but fears that he’s facing a spell on the sidelines have been allayed.

Klopp added: “Bobby feels much better. It was uncomfortable after getting a knock with a little swelling which led to the feeling there might be something more serious but he’s fine.”

Aurelien Tchouameni will start in central defence against Osasuna with Nacho Fernandez out.

The France international is joined in the back four with the returning Dani Carvajal, who was rested last time out in the win over Celta Vigo.

Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and David Alaba are all still missing with injuries while Jude Bellingham is serving the second of a two-game suspension for his red card against Valencia.

Joselu is also absent with gastroenteritis. Vinicius Junior and Rodrigo start up front.

Carlo Ancelotti's side start the day seven points clear of second-placed Girona in La Liga. They will have a chance to respond away at Getafe later on this evening.

Saudi Arabian football club Al Hilal have won 28 matches in a row — a 1-1 draw against Damac on September 21, 2023 was the last time they failed to claim victory.

Al Hilal, whose top scorer this season is former Newcastle United and Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrovic, sent out a press release on Tuesday following their latest victory announcing they had broken the world record for the most games won in a row by a football club.

Their 28th consecutive victory, they said, took them past Welsh top-flight club The New Saints’ run of 27 wins in a row during the 2016-17 season.

Guinness World Records — the long-standing reference book and website that lists and collates world records in a variety of different fields — have approved Al Hilal’s winning streak as a world record.

So have the Saudi Arabian side really achieved something that no club in more than 150 years of competitive football has ever done before? Are there any other sides who claim to have been on longer winning streaks than this? Is it even the longest winning run in the sport right now?

The Athletic attempts to answer this and clear up any confusion.

Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino admits some of his players are finding it difficult to handle the expectations of playing for such a big club.

Pochettino’s squad is now one of the youngest in the Premier League after a huge overhaul of the squad since the Todd Boehly-Clearlake consortium took over in 2022.

A reminder of just how many changes there has been in a short time will come on Sunday in their FA Cup Quarter Final against Leicester City. Out of the current group, only Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Reece James were in the squad which lost to the same opponents in the final three years ago (Trevoh Chalobah was on loan at Lorient).

Pochettino, who revealed some of the team struggled to sleep before the Carabao Cup final loss to Liverpool last month, said: “One thing we cannot change is to give time to the players to get experience and be more mature.

“You ask me about Cole Palmer — not all the players have the same process in settling at the club or to perform. We are in a process that of course the main group, the main young players…they struggle a little bit to deal with the pressure to play for Chelsea. That is the thing we are of course aware of and we are focusing on trying to help them in all the areas.”

Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group (FSG) is working on a move for Benfica technical director Pedro Marques in the latest step to build its new structure after the arrival of Michael Edwards.

FSG last week announced Edwards’ appointment to the CEO of football role, which includes taking overall charge of Liverpool’s sporting set-up.

A key part of his job will be to help acquire and oversee a second club, with the 44-year-old calling it “one of the biggest factors in my decision”. Edwards added: “I believe that to remain competitive, investment and expansion of the current football portfolio is necessary.”

FSG is targeting Marques largely to provide his skills and expertise on such a project. The highly-regarded Portuguese would be employed by the Boston-based company rather than Liverpool.

Marques’ vast experience in this area would be utilised to assist FSG in its search and then subsequent management of another team, which will mainly be used to attract global talent.

Leeds United defender Pascal Struijk may need to undergo season-ending surgery on his groin injury, Daniel Farke has confirmed.

The 24-year-old hasn’t played since the 2-1 defeat to Preston on Boxing Day with the groin issue keeping him sidelined for the last three months.

The Leeds manager confirmed that the defender is yet to return to training and may need to undergo a medical procedure on the issue that will see him miss the remainder of the season.

Farke said: “With Pascal Struijk, some bad news, progress to come back into team training was not possible. It’s a bit complicated situation with him – he’s got a cartilage injury and there are always two ways to treat this injury.

“Either you go for surgery, if we do this he’s out for the season, or the conservative route and go for injection therapy. The doctors hoped this would be beneficial for him.

“We had to go this route, the cartilage needs some healing, it has progressed but the next 10 days will be decisive.”

When Premier League managers get sacked, they tend to stay quiet for a while before entering a TV studio or appearing on a podcast, as if to remind us all they still exist.

Frequently in these situations, they note how being dismissed will make them a better manager in the long run, while veering away from throwing shade at the players who contributed to their downfall or the higher-ups who wielded the axe.

It is a path followed by most in the business at some stage, including Jose Mourinho, Mauricio Pochettino and, more recently, Jesse Marsch.

You could argue their motive is to put themselves back into the shop window for owners and chairmen getting itchy feet about their club’s current manager or head coach.

Graham Potter, however, opted for a different route.

Mason Mount is set to be included in Manchester United’s squad for Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final with Liverpool.

The England international, 25, has been sidelined with a long-term calf problem and last played for the club in November in the 1-0 Premier League victory over Luton Town.

Mount joined United from Chelsea in a deal worth £60million ($76.7m) in July but has made just 12 appearances for Erik ten Hag’s side.

United confirmed on Tuesday that Mount had returned to training ahead of the game at Old Trafford with Ten Hag revealing on Friday that it was “looking good” for him to be part of the matchday squad after a positive week of training.

Ten Hag’s side are still without defenders Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia as well as striker Anthony Martial due to injuries.

Fellow absentees Harry Maguire, Rasmus Hojlund and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, though, are in line to return against Liverpool.
