James Trafford has made 26 saves in the Premier League this season — the most in 2026-27.
Of those to have played more than one game, no one has a better save percentage than the Leeds United goalkeeper (80 per cent).

Enzo Maresca on why @BouaddiAyyoub didn't come on vs Aston Villa: "I think against PSG it was a bit different. I think today we needed technical midfielders, that's why Rayan [Cherki] was out and Phil [Foden] was inside. But no doubt Ayyoub is going to help us. Today Enz [Fernandez] and Elliot [Anderson] both had a very good game. And we have so many games that, for sure, he's going to play minutes..."

I know a guy
#ManCity are looking at solutions to help Gianluigi Donnarumma contribute on the ball and not ask for anything overly elaborate. One idea is to build up with three defenders rather than two, giving more security for possible mistakes and more options when passing. Donnarumma has been doing extra work at the end of sessions with Richard Wright and Michele De Bernardin, relentlessly clipping 30 or 40-yard balls to wide areas.
