Premier League News Now covers English football every day, with a focus on the Premier League. Alongside the current top-flight clubs we follow the Championship, including clubs pushing for promotion and those who have recently been relegated, since the league changes every season. We publish team news, injuries, transfers, match previews, predicted lineups, player profiles, analysis and opinion. This page explains how we choose, check and correct what we publish.
Who we are
Premier League News Now is an independent football news site written by fans who follow the league closely. Every article carries a writer’s byline, and each writer has a profile on our Authors page. You can read more about the site on our About Us page.
Independence
We are not connected to the Premier League, any football club, player, agent or betting company. Our coverage is not paid for. Advertising on the site is placed by ad networks and has no say in what we write or how we write it.
Where our information comes from
- Official sources first. For injuries, team news, signings and confirmed results we rely on official club websites, the Premier League, and what managers and players say in press conferences and interviews.
- Established reporting. For transfer stories and other developing news we use reports from established outlets and reporters, and we say where a claim first came from.
- More than one source for previews. Match previews and predicted lineups are built from several sources, not one.
Our own analysis
Reporting what has happened is only part of the job. Our writers follow players, managers, tactics and transfer markets closely, and much of what we publish is our own reading of the game: how a signing fits a squad, why a team’s form has changed, what a tactical switch means, or how a player compares with others in his position. Scouting reports, previews and player profiles draw on match viewing, statistics and the club’s wider situation, so readers get context and not just headlines.
How we check facts
Facts that change quickly, such as scores, injuries, contract details, fees and dates, are checked against a current source before an article goes live. We do not invent quotes or statistics. Quotes are credited to the person who said them, and we write in our own words rather than copying other outlets.
News, rumours and opinion
We keep these apart so readers know what they are reading.
- Confirmed news is reported as fact only once a club, player or official body has confirmed it.
- Transfer reports and rumours are written as reports, with words such as “reportedly” or “according to”, and we name the original outlet.
- Predicted lineups and previews are our own expectations, based on the latest team news.
- Analysis is our own explanation of what the facts mean, based on how players, teams and transfers have played out.
- Opinion is the writer’s personal view and is clearly marked, usually in a closing section.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it as quickly as we can. When a correction changes the meaning of a story, we update the article and add a note explaining what changed. If a story moves on, for example a rumoured transfer is completed or falls through, we publish a new article with the latest information.
To report an error, email premierleaguenewsnow@gmail.com with the article link and what needs correcting.
