And for how much?'Sky Sports News reporter Rob Dorsett: Martinez of course has been Belgium boss since 2016, taking them to world No 1 in the FIFA rankings, but I understand he would be interested in potentially coming back to a management job in the Premier League. Kick-Off 12.30pm: Kidderminster vs West HamTeam news: Ethan Freemantle has a race to be fit for Kidderminster after suffering a hamstring problem. Newcastle moved out of the bottom three with a huge win over fellow strugglers Everton in Frank Lampard's first Premier League game in charge of the Toffees. Referee Jarred Gillett pointed to the spot and Mahrez stepped up to fire home, undoubtedly making himself feel better after his recent miss in Cameroon. In moments like that you might have been inclined to think something special was happening here. When one of the most consistent goalscorers in German and European football misses from point-blank range you'd be forgiven for concluding that the footballing Gods are trying to send a message. That aspect of it [Ward's return to Birmingham] adds to it, I think, Villa forward Sophie Haywood told the Women's Football Weekend preview podcast. Kovacic was next to go close for the hosts, seeing his shot deflected wide, before Aymeric Laporte slid in to send an effort from a corner just off target at the back post and Grealish's one-on-one chance was snuffed out by Mendy.

I'm a big animal lover and it's something that will have affected a lot of people. Some people will be disappointed and I understand that. We didn't finish the situations off enough, said Klopp. Then the referees forget to raise the flag even though it's clearly offside. These rules will kill me one day! I think that team last week will be the one that could get us off to a flying start. James McFadden: All 26 players good enoughIf I'm honest I don't care who starts because we're in a position that any of the squad are good enough to play. He's a skilful team player who always has the goal in mind. That has certainly been the case this season. Steven Gerrard will be left scratching his head on the bus home from Old Trafford, wondering how his side didn't get something from this entertaining FA Cup tie. In nine games together they have managed six clean sheets with just eight goals conceded - four of those coming in one game at Liverpool. Last season may not have brought a trophy for Liverpool but it was nevertheless a useful experience for Klopp. This, of course, wasn’t the first time Aubameyang had been dropped from the Arsenal squad due to a disciplinary problem. March saw the striker miss the win over Tottenham Hotspur due to a “breach of pre-match protocol” and so Aubameyang’s latest infringement is hardly out of character.

Baisley works with a number of footballers, both past and present, and laughs as she explains how most are sceptical to begin with, before quickly changing their opinion. The players know that he's giving everything and is leaving no stone unturned. It's all planned meticulously and Page's results since taking over have been fantastic. The pair got on well and that helped in negotiations when United got in touch with the 63-year-old over the interim manager position last weekend.

The news comes after a backlash from clubs over the league's handling of the Newcastle takeover, with the Premier League thanking Hoffman for his time in charge. The FA brought in a rule that prevented its member clubs from allowing women's matches to be played on their pitches, and didn't lift the ban until 1971.

While chances were in short supply at either end, there was first-half controversy when Spurs' Dejan Kulusevski swung an elbow at Marc Cucurella and was only booked, and Brighton's Enock Mwepu, who had already been shown a yellow card, escaped further punishment when he was penalised for a high boot on Ben Davies and stood on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's boot. They would, it is understood, still have enough senior outfield players, plus a goalkeeper, to complete the fixture, though that would be subject to change if more positive tests were to be recorded between now and Sunday afternoon. Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been included on the Football Black List for a second consecutive year. There was a healthy dollop of fortune involved in Juventus' win, not least the opening goal, which came via the oddly-angled hip of defender Kathrin Hendrich. But there were much larger dollops of excellent defending and real threat on the break, which all piles up into a delicious sundae of well-deserved victory. Cristiano Ronaldo is the clear favourite to break the deadlock with the most prolific player in the history of men's international football offered at 9/4 (3.25) ahead of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva who can both be backed at 9/2 (5.50). SubstitutesStuart Armstrong - 5 Replaced Gilmour for the final quarter of an hour and put his fresh legs to good use with a purposeful drive into England territory. Questions remain over why, more than 10 years into the existence of FUT, human factors weren’t better addressed before now and why customer service agents were so easily swayed to turn over valuable information. And if this was possible, what else might be exploitable? Luuk de Jong scored the winning goal with a header at the back post in the first half from Oscar Mingueza's cross. We started slowly and conceded the goal from the header and all of a sudden you're having to chase the game again. Ahead of the match, Caf Head of Referees Eddy Maillet said this historic moment was a result of Caf’s clear commitment and investment in improving and advancing the standard of refereeing in Africa. There have been less than 2.5 goals in Brighton's last four Premier League matches and 12 of their last 13.
