Since the start of last season, Matt Doherty has netted eight Premier League goals for Wolves, the joint most of all defenders in the competition alongside Liverpool skipper Virgil Van Dijk. Steven Bergwijn is the first Tottenham player to score in his first two home Premier League appearances since Rafael van der Vaart in October 2010 and the third overall, after his fellow Dutchman and Jermain Defoe (February 2004).
That's one option, because obviously they'd rather host, they make more money when they host, and we'd come back and play our autumns [internationals]. Alternatively, he said another Six Nations tournament to make up for the lack of autumn internationals if they cannot host New Zealand, Australia, Argentina and Tonga in November due to travel restrictions "We'd want to do something to fill our gap so we're looking at a range of different contingencies," he said.

I remember when Pep Guardiola, after winning a championship, seriously considered the idea of putting him in midfield for a match," Rummenigge told the club magazine '51'. I had trouble getting Pep Guardiola to give up on this idea, which some might have taken as being arrogant. Bayern were dominating the Bundesliga at the time, however Rummenigge agreed that Neuer's ability with the ball meant that it was not such an eccentric idea.
Alli's) too good to not be one of the best players in the world and not playing with the national team (England)," said Mourinho, who hugged the midfielder warmly as he left the field.

And it’s not a departure without rancour either, with The Sun reporting that a training ground dust-up with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer effectively helped to seal the deal. SunSport can reveal the astonishing scenes at United’s training ground last Friday as Young, 34, pushed for his Old Trafford exit. Just 24 hours after a meeting with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over his future, Young marched off the training pitch and went into the gym to work on his own.
World-class appointment expected'- analysisTom Garry, BBC SportThat so many qualified candidates have applied will be a big boost for Baroness Campbell and the FA, whose appointment of Neville received criticism, given he had neither applied nor had any previous managerial experience. There had reportedly been 147 applicants from 30 different countries that time in 2018, but at least four of the FA's preferred candidates pulled out of the process prior to them approaching Neville.
In his statement announcing the decision, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy highlighted the examples set across Europe, with Bayern Munich and Juventus players high-profile examples of squads taking pay-cuts. Of course Levy’s surely heartfelt plea would probably land better were it not for the fact that it was recently announced that his own salary as the highest-paid Premier League executive had jumped up to £7 million per year, including a £3 million bonus for the opening of Tottenham’s new stadium, which as a reminder was eight months late and over budget.
Troy Deeney scored twice as Watford overcame a red card to Adrian Mariappa to beat Aston Villa 3-0 in a big game at the bottom of the table.

Eintracht Frankfurt will make the short journey to take on Mainz in this Monday evening's Bundesliga fixture.

They host Jalapa who are fifth in the league but not at their best on their travels. The home side have just ten points from their 14 league fixtures but are only bottom on goal difference. Their season got off to a disastrous beginning with no wins in their first 12 league games. They finally got off the mark with a 1-0 home victory over Real Madriz (who have lost five of their six away league matches this season).
In the cavernous spaces of the deserted Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - as the match was played behind closed doors - Fernandes equalised with an emphatic penalty. Spurs survived a last-minute scare as referee Jon Moss pointed to the spot again when Dier collided with Fernandes but the video assistant referee correctly reversed a poor decision. De Gea made a measure of amends with a superb save from Son Heung-min shortly after his error, while Hugo Lloris made a magnificent flying save from Anthony Martial as United chased an equaliser.
I read strange things around but nothing has changed," Spadafora said. In terms of the resumption of the championship - for now we don't talk about it.

Reaction & as it happenedHow did the players rate?'A seismic day for Gerrard and team'The statistics coming into this were quite something. Celtic had won 15 in a row at Celtic Park in all competitions and hadn't lost to a domestic rival in their fortress since Aberdeen beat them in May 2018. Rangers, for their part, were unbeaten on the road in the league all season with eight wins and two draws. That was the backdrop along with the tumultuous League Cup final last month, a game that saw Celtic play poorly, have a man sent off, concede a penalty and finish the game with just one attempt on goal - and the trophy.
This is a big opportunity for Lazio to force a twist in the title race by defeating Inter to leapfrog them in the table. Recent results suggest that there is a decent chance Lazio can do it. Last weekend, Inter roared to victory in the Milan derby. While their comeback was impressive, their initial two-goal-deficit failings weren't.
We have a special way of developing young players . That takes time," he said. Southampton's 2-1 victory over Watford last Saturday ended a poor run of eight games without a win and lifted the side to 18th in the league with 12 points from 14 games. The way we showed how committed we are in the last few weeks is special and a signal that it was absolutely right to come here.
But when the quarter-finals begin on 12 August, all ties in the competition will be held as one-off games at Sporting Lisbon's Estadio Jose Alvalade. The semi-finals will be played on 18-19 August and the final, at Benfica's Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, on 23 August.

Paper Round’s view: Some players may know that their contracts will be up before the end of the season is actually completed, if it is ever actually completed. Given that situation, it is hard to see how the transfer window can be sensibly and practically enforced, and some players may even find that they are kept on for a few extra months unexpectedly.
This week we are asking you to pick XIs for Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea - the only multiple Premier League winners.

We feel that Bayern's attack is unlikely to drop in form for Saturday's game. However, without the injured Niklas Sule and Lucas Hernandez, as well as the suspended Jerome Boateng, their defence may be vulnerable to an in-form Fortuna attack.
With the teams heading into the contest level on points at the top of the table, a game billed as a potential classic turned out to be intriguing rather than thrilling, and reminiscent of two heavyweight boxers slowly feeling each other out in the early rounds of a long, gruelling fight.

Aston Villa have picked up just two points from the last 21 available in the Premier League (P7 W0 D2 L5), although they have avoided defeat on the road for the first time in four games. Since beating Dean Smith's Brentford with Hull back in April 2016, Steve Bruce remains winless in seven games against his fellow Englishman (D3 L4) including both Premier League matches with Newcastle this season (D1 L1).
Almost more noticeable was the ugly stuff. A hoofed clearance from the edge of United's six-yard box brought chants of 'Bruno, Bruno' from the Stretford End behind him. Then a thunderous challenge on fellow countryman Joao Moutinho eventually brought a cursory check to see if the Wolves midfielder was OK as he lay on the ground receiving treatment. Another free-kick and the routine shot Patricio almost made a mess of were Fernandes' second-half highlights, although he will not be able to raise the whole underperforming team on his own.

The Hatters have won one and drawn the other two of their games since the season's restart, with returning boss Nathan Jones continuing the fine form shown before the coronavirus suspension under predecessor Graeme Jones. While victory for Barnsley over Blackburn on Tuesday saw them drop to the bottom of the table, they will feel boosted by the poor form of relegation rivals Huddersfield, Hull and Stoke.

That is the reality. There are definitely places up for grabs and there is competition for places. We are pretty clear on how we want to play and at the moment there are some ahead of others, but that can change for sure. Was the reported interest from Tottenham flattering?

Crystal Palace, in 14th, are only two points behind. The margin for error will be small over the last few rounds of the season.

Everton claimed victory in the reverse fixture back in September when Richarlison was in hot form.

The Irons' fragility on their travels is well established, and their underwhelming away record suggests they will find the going tough at Bramall Lane this week.

Wolves' season began in July in the second qualifying round of the Europa League, and they have already played 27 matches, more than any other Premier League club.
