David Luiz's future at Chelsea is shrouded in mystery after head coach Antonio Conte appeared to suggest the defender had caused issues in the squad before missing his side's 1-0 win over Manchester United. The Chelsea boss insisted prior to kick-off the Brazilian's omission was a "tactical decision", with Andreas Christensen lining up in the centre of defence and Ethan Ampadu on the bench. But after seeing Alvaro Morata score the only goal of the game at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Conte was more... Читать дальше...

David Unsworth described himself as the "proudest man in the world" to have led Everton on an interim basis as a decision over a permanent appointment edges closer.

Chelsea match-winner Alvaro Morata described his goal against Manchester United in Sunday's 1-0 win as his most important since he joined the club. The Spanish striker, who reportedly came close to a move to Jose Mourinho's side before his eventual switch to the Blues, had gone six matches without a goal but delivered the game's decisive moment in the 55th minute. The win moves Antonio Conte's side to within a point of United, who now find themselves eight adrift of Manchester City after the leaders... Читать дальше...

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Manchester City will be unstoppable if they keep receiving contentious refereeing decisions in their favour. The Gunners fell to a 3-1 defeat in Sunday's Premier League contest at the Etihad Stadium, and Wenger fumed over City's second and third goals when speaking to television media after the game. Wenger felt that Raheem Sterling dived to win the penalty from which Sergio Aguero made it 2-0, while believing David Silva to be offside in the build-up for Gabriel... Читать дальше...

Maurizio Sarri feels Napoli have paid the price for a gruelling run of fixtures as they were fatigued in Sunday's goalless draw at Chievo. The Serie A leaders saw their advantage at the summit cut to one point by reigning champions Juventus after a goalless draw in Verona. Having played title rivals Roma and Inter, plus Manchester City twice in the Champions League, since the start of October, Sarri conceded he could take no issue with his side's slip-up. "I am not angry with the performance," he told Mediaset Premium. Читать дальше...

Massimiliano Allegri sees the Serie A title race going to the wire after Juventus moved a point behind leaders Napoli on Sunday. Champions Juve have made up four points on Napoli in as many matches and climbed above Inter to second with the 2-1 defeat of Benevento. The Bianconeri came from behind against the bottom side with goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Juan Cuadrado, and Allegri is wary of similar tests as they look to retain their crown. "I have to compliment the players. We went behind with the only shot our opponents had... Читать дальше...

Antonio Conte insists David Luiz was left out of the Chelsea squad to face Manchester United for "tactical" reasons. The Brazil international lost his place in the starting line-up to Andreas Christensen for the clash with second-placed United, with the defender not even making the bench as 17-year-old Ethan Ampadu was preferred. But Conte was adamant there is no issue with David Luiz, who started the midweek 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Roma, simply saying Christensen and Ampadu deserve their opportunities. Читать дальше...

Kevin De Bruyne felt referee Michael Oliver made the correct call in awarding Manchester City a penalty in the 3-1 win over Arsenal and says the team were good value for the three points. Belgium international De Bruyne opened the scoring at the Etihad Stadium as Pep Guardiola's men outclassed the Gunners to make it 31 points from a possible 33 in the Premier League this term.

Italy international Eder was content to keep Inter on course for a return to the Champions League after scoring the equaliser in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Torino. The Brazil-born forward, who signed a new contract through to 2021 during the week, celebrated the extension by coming off the bench to cancel out Iago Falque's opener at San Siro. While the draw extended Inter's unbeaten start in Serie A to 12 matches, the Nerazzurri were left ruing a missed opportunity to move level with leaders Napoli in the Scudetto race. Читать дальше...

Benevento have now lost all 12 of their league games this season, but can take heart from giving the Bianconeri real difficulties at Allianz Stadium. Roberto... Читать дальше...

Maurico Pochettino hopes for "understanding" from England over Harry Kane's involvement in the upcoming international break. Kane has only scored in one of his last five appearances for Spurs and was substituted in the 77th minute of Sunday's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Wembley, having taken a heavy knock to the ankle in the first half. England face friendly matches against Brazil and Germany over the next fortnight, with Tottenham's Dele Alli having already pulled out of the squad due to injury. Читать дальше...

N'Golo Kante has been named in Chelsea's starting XI for Sunday's meeting with Manchester United after over a month out with a hamstring injury. The France midfielder picked up the problem on international duty at the start of October and has been sorely missed by Antonio Conte's men. His last appearance for Chelsea was the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City at the end of September and Conte will be hopeful he can help make the difference in a similarly important clash on Sunday. Elsewhere in the Chelsea team... Читать дальше...

Torino boss Sinisa Mihajlovic credited president Urbano Cairo's show of faith with setting the platform for the encouraging 1-1 draw at Inter on Sunday. Cairo publicly backed Mihajlovic after last weekend's 2-1 victory over Cagliari ended a four-match winless run, Torino continuing their improvement with a well-deserved point at San Siro. Iago Falque gave the visitors the lead just prior to the hour, before Eder equalised for Inter with 11 minutes remaining. "The president's statement was important. Читать дальше...

Lazio's Serie A clash against Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico was postponed on Sunday due to a waterlogged pitch. Rome experienced a huge downpour just minutes before kick-off and the pitch was deemed to be unplayable by the referee 40 minutes after the scheduled start time. Lazio, fourth in Serie A before Sunday's fixtures, could have overtaken Inter after Luciano Spalletti's side were surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw by Torino at San Siro. Udinese, meanwhile, were looking for a third consecutive... Читать дальше...

Mauricio Pochettino was not surprised to see Paulo Gazzaniga deliver a man-of-the-match performance on his Tottenham debut as Spurs scraped a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. After beating Real Madrid 3-1 in midweek, Spurs' excitement was soon checked by injuries to Hugo Lloris, Toby Alderweireld and Dele Alli as they welcomed the Premier League's bottom club to Wembley. Pochettino's side lacked fluency and were indebted to Gazzaniga, playing his first top-flight game in almost two years, for making... Читать дальше...

Sergio Aguero was presented with an award by Manchester City prior to kick-off against Arsenal after breaking the club's all-time goalscoring record in midweek. The Argentina star struck City's third in a 4-2 Champions League win over Napoli on Wednesday to surpass Eric Brook's 78-year record of 177 goals for City.

Paulo Gazzaniga played an unlikely hero act for Tottenham, repelling a dogged Crystal Palace before Son Heung-min struck to secure a 1-0 win at Wembley. Dele Alli's absence from the teamsheet will have perturbed Spurs fans, but Gazzaniga's presence was most eye-catching, the former Southampton goalkeeper making his Spurs debut in place of the injured Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm. Gazzaniga had not played in the Premier League since December 2015 and overcame a rocky start to deliver a fine performance... Читать дальше...

Thomas Meunier revealed he rejected a deadline-day move to Chelsea in order to stay and fight for his place at Paris Saint-Germain. The Belgium full-back faced stiff competition from Serge Aurier during his debut campaign at the Parc des Princes and, although the Ivorian has since moved to Tottenham, the arrival of Dani Alves from Juventus in the close-season has not made his task of cementing a starting berth any easier. Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was in the hunt for cover for Victor Moses on... Читать дальше...

Multiple reports following the game have suggested that it will be Bilic's last in charge and Moyes will be drafted in until the end of the season. Moyes... Читать дальше...
