I wanted Romelu very strongly when I was at Chelsea, even back at Juventus," said Conte earlier this week. I always said Romelu was a rough diamond that needed work to smooth him out. Now I can get to work on polishing the diamond. Conte's management style, meanwhile, first caught Lukaku's eye three years ago when he came up against a team managed by the 50-year-old while playing for Belgium against Italy.
He probably doesn't need to be reminded that on December 4, his new club travel to Old Trafford and three days before Christmas they host Chelsea. Mourinho joins Tottenham at a time when they are 14th but a win in this early kick-off could see them climb as high as fifth for a few hours, now that's really special! Tottenham aren't in good form though with no wins in their last five league games and their away form is appalling.
Having left his role as Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City, Arteta is talking big despite beginning with a draw at Bournemouth before Sunday's loss. We are the biggest football club in England, and we have to play a little bit with that arrogance, that belief," Arteta told Sky Sports, urging the club's fans to make the Emirates a fortress again.
Celtic will be out for revenge this weekend when they play host to Livingston in the Premiership. Three of the last six meetings between these two clubs have produced over 2.5 goals. Four of Celtic’s last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Three of Livingston’s last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. All of Livingston’s away games in the Premiership this season have produced over 2.5 goals. Both teams have a good goal scoring record and I expect them to find the net here. Celtic is in amazing form right now and they can win it as well. Over 3 goals is expected.
He was temporarily replaced by Mahon, who had been Cushing's number two. Mahon oversaw a 1-0 win over Bristol City and a dramatic 3-3 draw at home to Chelsea, before the season was suspended and later ended because of the coronavirus pandemic. It has yet to be confirmed how final placings in the WSL will be decided. City were top of the table when the season was concluded, but second-placed Chelsea were only one point behind and, with their game in hand, have a better points-per-game ratio.
That is some interest for a lad whose name his manager couldn't even remember not so long ago. Morning! "We are staying up," they chanted at the London Stadium last night - except it was the away side Arsenal whose fans were singing it. Yes the Gunners are back, and so is their sense of humour. It wasn't all plain sailing though and there were boos at half-time from the away end when they trailed 1-0 to West Ham - only for three second-half goals to turn the result on its head.

It's a quandary. They would have a case, as far as I can see, to take this course of action and argue it with Uefa. I suspect that they may be more comfortable doing it with Uefa's acquiescence. Closed-door games won't help'While the focus has primarily been on either finishing the season or calling it now, the notion of playing games behind closed doors has also been floated. On Friday, Uefa lifted a ban on showing games at 15:00 on a Saturday live on TV in England and Scotland in what is seen as moves towards restarting some domestic competitions in the UK without supporters.

To win the game knowing that they dominated, they out-possessed us, they out-footballed us, for me shows what a great team we really are. We're in good form, and I think if you are going to win things you need to have all types of performances to do that. You can't always be on top and dominant throughout.
There is something special about the occasion because Parken will be full, with many away fans, so it would be wonderful to win. Their stupid and quite entertaining one-way hate would make it even funnier," Skarum jokes. Parken is almost sold out, and it is hoped the atmosphere between the two sets of supporters will be cordial. There will certainly be plenty of interaction between them: Malmo sold their 2,400-ticket allocation almost instantly and, as Jonson explains, that number is likely to be the tip of the iceberg.
That gave City a deserved cushion, and they were afforded more space in the second half that allowed them to attack with their usual confidence. Following Gayle's crucial miss, Sterling proved clinical to make the game safe and although City could have added to more goals, they were denied by some stern Newcastle defending. More to follow.

This is Borussia's last chance to get closer to Bayern by beating them today. The difference in points would be only 1. Every other result suits the guests and gives them a great chance to win the championship in the end. Bayern is a very efficient team but today I expect a few goals in the match especially if the host scores first. In the first part of the season, Bayern easily reached a 4-0 victory. This match will be played without spectators, so the advantage of the home field will not be so great.
Utd want Niguez to replace Pogba Manchester United are growing increasingly confident of signing Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid.

Despite a relatively poor away record, Coventry are no mugs and are certainly not easy to beat, though if we consider the achievements of both teams, it's easy to feel that Wycombe have been overlooked slightly in the betting. It feels as though the last few games have been factored into the price of the hosts a little too much. The excellent home form of The Chairboys cannot be ignored. Frankly, Wycombe's home efforts are superior to Coventry's on the road. They've performed better in terms points and goals, as well as in terms of both shots and shots on target. Having beaten some useful sides such as Sunderland, Burton, Shrewsbury and Doncaster of late, the hosts are backed to get the better of a Coventry side that remains winless on the road.

Only 18 days separated Arsenal saying Unai Emery was "the right man for the job" before they decided to sack him. At that point, the Gunners were five games without a win, which has since extended to seven - their worst run of results in 27 years. But it has been the manner of performances under the Spanish manager which have also proved costly as they slipped behind Wolves, Sheffield United and Burnley to sit eighth in the Premier League table.
