The hosts had no reply to the Premier League leaders’ commanding display, as City held on for the clean sheet. Former Tottenham boss Pochettino is currently in charge of Paris St-Germain and contracted with the French club until 2023, but Merson says the performances of PSG this season - good or bad - could complicate matters. There's still plenty of time for players to make their case with England's Nations League campaign starting this summer, while there will be more friendlies arranged for the Three Lions in the build-up to the World Cup, which starts in November. Don't get me wrong, he's a brilliant player and I still think he's one of Chelsea's best players, there's no question about that whatsoever, but I think he's been fortunate in terms of getting away with the contract situation this season. Vlahovic has continued to excel, but it was clear that Prandelli's departure from Fiorentina was a blow. After a hat-trick against Benevento in March, the striker spoke of the former Italy manager's impact on his burgeoning career. Five successive defeats in the first few months of his third season at the club were enough to see Vieira sacked. It becomes too easy.

She's helped me and the staff and is a real shining light for us as a leader at the club. At that time the transfer was supposed to be around €3m (£2.5m/$3.4m). That was a very significant sum for a 16-year-old. That sole point taken by Albion of late could yet prove a key one in this WSL title race, coming from a goalless draw with Arsenal's title rivals Chelsea on Sunday. That resulted in another draw, a fifth of the season. Southampton should have had this game won in the first half. Arsenal boss Arteta, speaking ahead of his side's trip to Norwich on Boxing Day, revealed he would have preferred further postponements to fixtures, and shared Henderson's concerns. However, Flamengo were able to equalise with 18 minutes left on the clock through former Inter Milan striker Gabriel Barbosa. I'm delighted to have him on board.

The FA's director of women's professional game, Kelly Simmons, said: Barclays have played a crucial role in the growth of women's and girls' football, so it is excellent news that they are committing to a new record investment in the women's and girls' pyramid until 2025. Nevertheless, everything righted itself when Corinthians registered a 3-2 win over Cuiaba a day after the release of Red (Taylor's Version). Amazingly, Comoros held out for almost half an hour without conceding. The Indomitable Lions finally opened the scoring when Karl Toko Ekambi lashed into the far corner, leaving Alhadhur stranded, but almost ceded the lead minutes later when Andre Onana was forced to make a fantastic double save to keep out Ahmed Mogni and Mohamed Youssouf.

Salah was on the bench this time after his run to the Afcon final with Egypt, beaten by team-mate Mane's Senegal on penalties, and introduced in the second half. Immediately at the other end, Di Lorenzo inexplicably passed the ball across his own penalty area where Maddison intercepted before, with the goal at his mercy, letting Napoli off the hook as his shot clipped the outside of a post and went wide. The Egyptian was a threatening blur without creating a clear-cut chance until he was toppled in the box by Tyrone Mings. The low finish was assured and Liverpool never looked back.
