MY NEXT CLUB – REAL MADRID Can you handle the biggest job in world football? STARS Everyone knows Real’s stars, but a lot of them are getting old. If you receive a big offer for Luka Modric, Sergio Ramos, Keylor Navas or Marcelo, it might be worth accepting to build the side around Isco, Vinicius Jr. and Raphael Varane! BOARD The Real board are one of the most demanding on FIFA 19. They want you to win everything, while bringing in a load of cash from shirt sales! The best way to do that is by signing a Galactico, and you’ll have a huge budget to do it! TOP TIP Real didn’t replace Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, but you’ve got the chance to make up for that. Swapping Karim Benzema…

FACTPACK Age: 22 Club: Copenhagen Country: Denmark Position: Right winger Boots: Nike Mercurial WICKED WINGER Skov’s made his name this season because of his epic form for Danish title chasers Copenhagen. He’s asweet dribbler for a 6ft player, and loves cutting in from the right wing onto his left foot. In total he’s scored 24 times in just 26 games – including eight free-kicks. Awesome! GOLDEN SHOE HOPES In the Golden Shoe rankings, goals scored in Denmark count for less than those in the PL or La Liga – but that’s not stopped Skov getting into the top ten! He’s sixth on the list right now, ahead of stars like Edinson Cavani, Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane! WHO WANTS HIM? Gossips say Tottenham are keeping a close eye on the…

WHO’LL WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE? Liverpool and Man. City have been fighting for top spot all season, so how important was City’s 2-1 win over The Reds at the Etihad back in January Jurgen Klopp’s men were seven points clear at the top back then, and a win would’ve made it really hard for City to catch them up, but by February Pep Guardiola’s team were back out in front again! VERDICT: LIVERPOOL! Flipping a coin would really be the easiest option, coz this one’s too close! Both teams are still in the Champions League, but City are juggling the FA Cup too and have to play Spurs and Man. United, plus Leicester and Crystal Palace – who they lost to earlier this season –so we’re just gonna back The…

WEST BROM v BIRMINGHAM Just weeks after losing the Second City derby, Birmingham have another Midlands rivalry on their hands –and they might struggle for points again! As well as being in the heart of a play-off challenge, The Baggies also have a solid recent record against Friday’s opponents – they’re on a five-match unbeaten run in all comps! MIDDLESBROUGH v NORWICH This is a massive match at the top of the Championship table! Norwich are desperate to finish the campaign in one of the two automatic promotion spots – preferably the top one – while Boro are battling hard to finish in the play-offs! The Canaries have nicked their last three head-to-heads 1-0, and they would definitely take that again! CELTIC v RANGERS Rangers, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock have made…

Scan the code to watch it! TOTTENHAM KIT COPYCATS! Nope, Tottenham haven’t finally signed some new players – this is actually an Iraqi team that basically have exactly the same strip as the London club’s 2018-19 away kit! PANCAKE PONG! Don’t go round to John Terry’s for pancakes! He posted a video of himself flipping a pancake onto his socks, then back into the…

LIVERPOOL V TOTTENHAM This huge match means so much to the top six! Last season’s Anfield clash between these two teams was definitely one of the matches of the season – it had everything! Victor Wanyama scored an unstoppable rocket, Mo Salah bagged a solo screamer and Harry Kane missed and scored a penalty, with one being the last kick of the game! There’s so much riding on this fixture for both sides, so MATCH is expecting even more drama on Sunday afternoon! SADIO MANE We’ve already spoken about Mo Salah’s record v Tottenham, but another Red to watch out for is Mane! The Senegal star is on flames right now, but he’s also got some happy memories of his own against Spurs – including his awesome quick-fire double in…
