One game might be scant evidence but appointing a legendary former player as manager has been an option taken by both Manchester United and Chelsea in the last year. Could Everton be tempted in that direction too? MAN OF THE MATCH – Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) Under the watchful gaze of Ferguson, the symbolism of Everton’s incumbent number nine turning in an inspirational, match-winning performance was not lost on anyone.
Brighton's attacking threat was largely nullified by Chelsea's defence, although aside from the goals they produced the clearest chances - both thwarted by the brilliance of keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Spaniard produced a one-handed stop to deny Aaron Connolly and then saved Neal Maupay's low drive with his feet. The point extends fourth-placed Chelsea's advantage over Manchester United in fifth to five points.

I gave a simple pass to the striker. No-one had seen him so I just gave it to him between the defenders and he went and scored. That was the only game I played. For Roland Janssen, a Genk scout at the tournament, that one game was enough. Impressed with the teenager's work rate he invited Ndidi for a trial with the Belgian side. When I came to Belgium the coach was Alex McLeish and he was putting me at right-back and left-back," Ndidi continues.

Lovely stuff. Pep Guardiola and Tony PulisGetty Images *** ‘Rage away…’ Ben Snowball’s XI: David de Gea (Man United); Bacary Sagna (Arsenal), Jose Fonte (Southampton), John Terry (Chelsea), Leighton Baines (Everton); N’Golo Kante (Leicester), Michu (Swansea), Dimitri Payet (West Ham); Gareth Bale (Tottenham), Sergio Aguero (Man City), Luis Suarez (Liverpool) Manager: Eddie Howe (Bournemouth) Picked a front six who had outstanding individual seasons, rather than only displaying longevity, and did the complete opposite for the defence.
Both teams could do with a win from this game. Brighton haven’t won all year and although draws earn points, some three-pointers will do their survival hopes the power of good. Home form isn’t as good as it was in the early part of the season and they fall behind too many times. Palace had a much needed win last weekend and will want to build on that. Away form isn’t great though and the tip here is for this game to end in a draw with both teams getting on the scoresheet.
Interesting match will be played in France 2 league, Niort will play at home ground against Nancy. Host is still in relegation zone, despite two victories in a row at home ground, in last round they are defeated against Auxerre, 3-1, it will not be an easy task for the host to avoid relegation in current season. Nancy is a draw expert, more than a half of their matches ended with a draw result, and I doubt that they will change their tactic in this duel, in this duel they will be without suspended midfielder Cissokho, he got a red card in last round when they are defeated against Clermont. Match without winner sounds as most realistic result for this duel.

Defender Seamus Coleman echoed his manager's sentiments are offered his own warning to the squad. There's no hiding, they were better all over the pitch and we need to ask some serious questions of ourselves," said Coleman. The attitude and desire is not there, we got beat by the better team.

At the time I focused more on what I believed was showing unity when really it did nothing of the sort, it showed a lack of empathy, understanding and ignorance by singling out a voice who needed an ear to listen and a support system to help. I am now able to understand how I have been part of the problem which I aim to fight and eradicate. I am a proud black woman, I understand I have a social responsibility to help create change through my platform.

Fair play to the sly old dog. BielsaOut - do yourselves a favour and pipe down Marcelo Bielsa has done an incredible job at Leeds. He has made a fairly bog-standard team more than the sum of its parts. This led to the Elland Road club just missing out on automatic promotion to the Premier League last season to Sheffield United, the same Blades side that sit a heady fifth in the Premier League at the time of writing.

Any time a side makes a trip to Cumbria, they know that they are probably not going to have an easy time of things. However, this particular fixture sees a Carlisle side who are short of confidence and goals at the moment coming up against a Plymouth side who are at the top of their game. While we do not expect it to be a walkover, an away win appears to be the way to go.
That's a big part of my job. We have players with experience but also younger players. They have to understand about the mindset levels. A big part of my job tomorrow (Tuesday) is we need to be at our maximum. We must make sure every detail is ticked in both games. We cannot get caught up in moments.
Liverpool will be champions this season. Such is the Reds' lead at the top that surely nothing will prevent that, barring an unprecedented and unforeseeable series of losses.

Neal Maupay scored the winner five minutes into added time as relegation-threatened Brighton clinched a huge win over Arsenal, who once again lost a key player to injury. The French striker showed coolness and class to slot in his ninth and most important goal of the season, give Albion their first league win of 2020 and cap a remarkable comeback. Nicolas Pepe had fired the Gunners into a deserved lead with a superb curling shot with just over 20 minutes to go, but Lewis Dunk scrambled an equaliser over the line from close range to set up a barnstorming finish.
In the past some managers have changed their whole system to deal with Hazard, but Guardiola would not have been making any plans just to stop one player, so it will not affect his thinking too much. Instead, he will have been working on a formation he thinks is best suited against Real in every area of the pitch. Real still have a lot of quality right through their side, but other than Karim Benzema, who scores most of their goals, their strength is more as a unit.
Boredom had set in. But that is no excuse for how badly we played in the first two games. Opening night3 June, Cordoba: Peru 3 (Cueto 43, Cubillas 71, 77) Scotland 1 (Jordan 14 )They were a better side than I thought they'd be. Nowadays, you'd have analysts watching opponents in five or six games. You'd have a full dossier on them and all the technical stuff that goes with it. There was none of that.
