GIANT-KILLERS: MACCLESFIELD DRAW BRENTFORD AFTER SHOCKING CRYSTAL PALACE IN THE FA CUP
The FA Cup 4th round is set for Valentine's weekend! Macclesfield face Brentford while Liam Rosenior takes Chelsea back to Hull.
The FA Cup fourth round is set, and honestly, there’s a lot to look forward to next month.
Macclesfield have pulled off something special by knocking out the defending champs, Crystal Palace. They’re now the lowest-ranked team left, and for their trouble, they get another Premier League opponent—Brentford—coming to their place. Manager John Rooney couldn’t hide his excitement. “We were hoping for Liverpool, Chelsea, or Arsenal, but getting another Premier League side is incredible,” he said right after the draw.
Over at Chelsea, new boss Liam Rosenior finds himself heading back to Hull City, one of his old stomping grounds. He managed Hull for two years, even pushing for promotion, so that’s bound to be interesting when the Blues visit.
Salford City, owned by the famous Class of '92, could end up facing Manchester City if they get past Swindon. You know Beckham and Neville will be rooting for that one.
Arsenal will host Wigan at the Emirates, and there’s a juicy all-Premier League matchup between Aston Villa and Newcastle at Villa Park. Wrexham, who made headlines by knocking out Nottingham Forest, now goes up against Ipswich Town.
Burton from League One face West Ham, who are struggling in the top division, while Grimsby Town from League Two meet Wolves. Liverpool take on Barnsley on Monday night—live on talkSPORT—and whoever wins gets a home tie against Brighton. Sam Matterface and ex-Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam will be on commentary from Anfield.
Fulham are off to Stoke, Burnley host Mansfield Town, Birmingham City play Leeds United, and Leicester City, who won the cup in 2021, travel to face Southampton.
All these matches are set for the weekend starting Saturday, February 14.
Here’s the full fourth round draw:
Liverpool or Barnsley vs. Brighton
Stoke vs. Fulham
Oxford vs. Sunderland
Southampton vs. Leicester
Wrexham vs. Ipswich
Arsenal vs. Wigan
Hull vs. Chelsea
Burton vs. West Ham
Burnley vs. Mansfield
Norwich vs. West Brom
Port Vale vs Bristol City

DIEGO SIMEONE’S ATLéTICO FUTURE IN DOUBT AFTER TENSE MATEU ALEMANY FALLOUT
Diego Simeone’s future at Atlético Madrid is uncertain as tension grows with Mateu Alemany, and Inter Milan rumours gain momentum.
Spanish media is swirling with talk that Diego Simeone might be on his way out at Atletico Madrid. Hard to believe, right? This guy took over back in December 2011, turned the club into a real force, and even managed to win La Liga twice—beating out giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona.
But here we are. Apparently, Atletico are weighing up Simeone's future. Sport says things have gotten tense between him and Mateu Alemany, the club’s new Director of Football. Simeone’s contract runs until 2027, but that relationship seems rocky. Atletico sit third in La Liga, trailing Barcelona by ten points. They just lost to Bodo/Glimt in the last Champions League group match and now have to fight through a play-off to reach the knockouts. Recent results have been rough, and transfer disagreements are piling up. It’s starting to feel like Simeone’s once-untouchable job is suddenly at risk.
There’s also the money. Simeone is one of the highest-paid managers in the game—€13 million a year. Only a few names earn more: Simone Inzaghi at Al-Hilal, Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, and, believe it or not, David Moyes at Everton. If Simeone walks away after this season, replacing someone with his status won't be easy.
Meanwhile, Alemany isn’t waiting around. He’s already looking at possible successors and has his eye on Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth. The catch? Iraola seems happy in the Premier League, but who knows—if Atletico come calling after all these years under Simeone, maybe he listens.
Looking back, you can’t overstate what Simeone’s done for Atletico. He’s delivered two La Liga titles, two Europa Leagues, a Copa del Rey, and a Supercopa de España. Add to that two UEFA Super Cups and two trips to the Champions League final. Four times, he’s been named La Liga Manager of the Year. That’s a legacy.
Still, Simeone’s never hidden his dream of coaching Inter. He played there from 1997 to 1999, and you can tell the place means something to him. “It doesn’t just depend on me, but I can see myself managing Inter one day. I think it’ll happen,” he said. He’s a huge admirer of their squad and their style, especially after recent games against Milan. “They play with personality and have a clear idea of how to attack. They deserved more. In the Champions League, the numbers speak for themselves. Two finals—they’re one of the favourites,” he added.
So, maybe we’re watching the end of an era at Atletico. Or maybe Simeone finds a way, like he always has. Either way, it’s hard to imagine the club without him.
MARC-ANDRé TER STEGEN TO UNDERGO SURGERY FOLLOWING SERIOUS GIRONA INJURY
Marc-André ter Stegen faces surgery and a long recovery after a serious injury at Girona, putting his 2026 World Cup spot in doubt.
FC Barcelona made headlines this winter when Marc-André ter Stegen, their German goalkeeper, left for Girona. He wanted more minutes on the pitch and had his sights set on making Germany’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. That was the plan, anyway.
But things went sideways fast. In just his second game for Girona under Míchel, Ter Stegen picked up a serious injury. Now he needs surgery, and he’ll be out for months.
After the news broke, Ter Stegen didn’t keep quiet. He posted a raw, honest message online, letting fans in on what he’s going through.
Here’s what he wrote:
Most of you don’t know me personally, so I want to open up a bit. I’ve always tried to stay positive—no matter what life throws at me. But this injury? It’s a tough one.
Last weekend, my worst fear happened. I got hurt during the match. I’d just arrived in Girona, and from day one, everyone here made me feel welcome. I was excited to help the team chase our goals, but now everything’s changed for me.
I won’t be out there on the field, but I’m not going anywhere. This group isn’t just a team—it’s like a family, and I’ve felt their support from the start.
As athletes, there’s nothing better than playing and training. Now I have to put that on hold for a while. I’ve decided to have surgery.
I’ll be back.
You can feel how much this stings for him. He’d just landed at Montilivi, already made his mark with the squad and fans, and now he’s sidelined. The timing couldn’t be worse, either. With such a long road to recovery, his World Cup dream is hanging by a thread. Even so, Ter Stegen’s message makes one thing clear—he’s not giving up. He’s determined to come back stronger, ready for football whenever it calls him again.
