Rotherham trip to be televised Izzy Christiansen (current Everton midfielder) Chelsea's record at home is strong. They have turned Kingsmeadow into a fortress. While not criticising the appointment of Ralf Rangnick, the Brazil international says it is “a little bit bad” that their current approach is only focused on the short-term. All of our thoughts are with his family, friends and former clubs. England manager Gareth Southgate added: Jimmy Greaves was someone who was admired by all who love football, regardless of club allegiances. “To see my name alongside the names I've looked up to all my life is crazy, Messi in particular, Mount said. When I was younger I was a ball boy during a Barcelona and Chelsea match at Stamford Bridge, and seeing him up close was amazing.” And he absolutely produced in that game and they were brilliant when everyone thought they would be bullied. 'Kane cannot do it on his own, he's not a school captain'Any forward in the world will tell you he is only as good as the service he gets and he is not getting any service at the moment and who do people look at first when it is not going well? We had to take Sadio off against Atletico [Madrid in the Champions League] because they wanted him to get a yellow card. The referee did really well in that situation - I deserved a yellow card. It wasn't not OK and that is what I said. It just happened in the moment. Tomas Soucek's 59th-minute goal was enough to hand David Moyes' side just their second win in six league games to move within two points of fourth-placed Manchester United after they drew 0-0 at home to relegation-threatened Watford on Saturday. New year, same old problems. On the pitch, Everton have been uninspiring but off it, they are making up for lost time. Brighton have slapped a £50 million price tag on their highly-rated defensive midfielder Yves Bissouma. The seaside club have no intention of selling mid-season, but Brighton would give the sale “serious consideration” if their asking price is met in January. The main factor behind this thinking is the fact that Bissouma’s current contract is set to expire in the summer of 2023 and the Mali international has not entered talks over a new deal. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have all held interest in Bissouma in the past, while Aston Villa are also eyeing up the Brighton midfielder. It preceded a flashpoint as moments later, Spurs felt they ought to have a penalty when Troost-Ekong appeared to barge Kane in the back inside the box, and while referee Jones was unmoved, replays showed Kane might well have been offside when he was picked out by Moura. We have to adapt, the game can be slightly different, the risk is you can always end up playing to feet is an observation I have seen on these types of surfaces. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw scored after another corner shortly after half-time, before Florian Niederlechner and Alfred Finnbogason added further goals late on. A Newcastle statement read: In accordance with protocol, the Magpies submitted a separate request to the Premier League to postpone the trip to the south coast, and this has been approved by the Premier League board. A 'crunch' game down at the bottom Leicester beat Birmingham 2-0 in the last league encounter between the sides They're the weakest team among those near the top of the league without a shadow of a doubt for pressing. Time to go. There was more anger on display after the final whistle as around 150 fans stayed behind to protest, chanting Sack the board, Bill Kenwright, get out of our club and We want our club back. I was right behind [Ziyech's goal]. I had the feeling it was a bit too high, but it dropped at the right second. Having made a solid start to life at Villa Park, losing just once in his first four games, a meeting with Jurgen Klopp's side shapes as the biggest test for Gerrard so far. Dr Kabungo, a CAF/FIFA medical officer, was on duty in Abuja for the second leg final qualifying match between Nigeria and Ghana that ended 1-1. For the last two seasons, no Italian teams have reached the quarter-finals of the prestigious Champions League, a trophy which has eluded Italy since 2010, with many domestic clubs weighed down by debt and unable to attract the top talent that once flocked to Serie A. Brighton laboured as they searched for an equaliser but, just as it looked like Palace would return to south London with all three points, Maupay got in behind on the left and got the ball into the danger area. Andersen turned it into his own net in agonising fashion, with Danny Welbeck almost winning the game late on only for his header to whistle inches over. After facing Burnley on Saturday, the Magpies' fixture list through December does not make for festive reading - games against Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United take them through the Christmas period. Everton are 15th in the Premier League and eight points above the relegation places following a run of one win in their past 12 league games. When you have that kind of determination to challenge yourself and to improve, you will have more chance to succeed.

Three Premier League games have been postponed and one Europa Conference League match has been forfeited, resulting in Spurs crashing out of continental competition.  His total of 21 blocks is the highest in La Liga this season and underlines his willingness to put his body on the line for the team. “Now we have to play with the players that we have available and get the best out of them. It will be difficult for us at Anfield. We know that we have to raise our level to the highest possible that we can. Our ambition is to win that game, and this is how we are going into it. Arsenal's Jordan Nobbs has been recalled to the squad for the two matches after recovering from an ankle ligament injury. After a brief period of defending, City went on the attack. The ball came back into the box and Allen's effort was deflected wide. Premier League cases have risen to an all-time high after the emergence of the new Covid-19 variant Omicron leading to a host of fixture cancellations, and Klopp has now come out to stress the importance of vaccinations. Bournemouth currently sit second in the league, and Scott Parker’s side are looking to join Fulham in securing promotion to the Premier League.

Derby were struggling to cope with Blackburn's movement and Brereton Diaz had another chance but this time his shot lacked the power to trouble Roos. Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui has insisted that Manchester United loanee Anthony Martial must improve after a less-than-impressive debut performance. He told Sky Sports: What we did, and by myself, was not enough to be in a Manchester United shirt. This brilliant Brighton side are everything this United side are not. It was a limp display from Brentford, with their only shot on target in the whole game a tame left-footed effort from Ivan Toney. Martinelli became the third-youngest South American to be sent off in the Premier League (20 years, 237 days), behind Carlos Marinelli (18 years, 256 days) and Rafael (20 years, 191 days).

At the other end too the club's once formidable defence has lost its air of invulnerability, even more so in recent weeks with injuries to first-choice centre-back pairing Jose Maria Gimenez and Stefan Savic. Jamal has been generating a lot of hype ever since arriving at Bayern Munich from Chelsea. He got integrated into the first team at the age of 18 and since then he has not looked back. “I think France Football should award you your 2020 Ballon d’Or - you deserve it and you should have it at home.”
