Arsenal hosted Chelsea in Gameweek 28 of the 2025/2026 edition of the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners came out on top with a 2-1 win, with all three goals coming from corner-kicks.

Although the Blues had the upper hand in terms of ball possession, the hosts held the advantage in final-third entries (57-29), passes in the final third (72-59), and touches in the opposition penalty box (30-13).

Chelsea had more interceptions (13-5), tackles (20-17), recoveries (44-41), and aerial duels (16-11); this suggests Arsenal had more penetration.

Through this tactical analysis, we aim to highlight the tactical actions of both Arsenal and Chelsea and determine why Arsenal dominated.

AS Roma hosted Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome for Gameweek 27 of Serie A, and the match ended in an entertaining 3-3 draw that does not serve either team well.

In fact, this draw puts Roma in fourth place with 51 points, with teams like Como getting closer, and the need to win the remaining games becoming mandatory if they want to secure a UEFA Champions League spot.

On the other hand, Juventus’ road to the UEFA Champions League is becoming a bit more complicated, as the team now sits in sixth place with 47 points, one behind Como and four behind Roma.

In this tactical analysis article, we will explore Roma’s tactical plans for this match and how they adjusted their players’ positioning for Juventus’ style of play.

At the same time, the article will examine Juventus’ attacking performance and what it lacked to further hurt Roma.

Bodø/Glimt are having a historic UEFA Champions League campaign this season; the last time a Norwegian club advanced to the UCL or European Cup knockout stage was 38 years ago.

They beat Manchester City 3-1, then beat Atlético Madrid 2-1 before facing Inter Milan in the playoff round and went on to beat Inter Milan 3-1 in the 1st leg and 2-1 in the 2nd leg.

The shocker: they haven’t played league football since November 30th, have gone on to beat some giant teams, and are now considered a dark horse in the UEFA Champions League this year.

In this tactical analysis, we will take a look at what tactics Kjetil Knutsen has been cooking up at the club over the last four UCL games, as well as how far they can realistically make it in the competition, given that they are playing Sporting CP in the Round of 16.

Stewart Downing is perhaps the greatest Middlesbrough academy product of all time.

The ex-England winger made over 400 appearances for Boro during his career, scoring 32 goals and providing 55 assists.

It’s been nine years since Middlesbrough last played in the Premier League, but they are currently on track to return to England’s top flight next season.

The North East club currently sit second in the EFL Championship, five points off league leaders Coventry City.

Their promotion charge is being spearheaded by another academy product who will hope to go down as one of Boro’s greatest homegrown talents: Hayden Hackney (178cm/5’10”, 70kg/154lbs).

The former England U21 international has started all of Boro’s 35 Championship games so far this term, accumulating the most minutes of any outfield player for Kim Hellberg’s side.

Should Boro earn promotion, Hayden Hackney looks likely to remain at the Riverside Stadium and play a key role in that subsequent 2026/2027 Premier League campaign, given his importance to their impressive 2025/2026 campaign thus far.

However, reports are already circulating about interest from the likes of Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and even Manchester United in acquiring the 23-year-old central midfielder’s services, which could become a lot more doable should Boro fail to achieve promotion come the end of 2025/2026.
