Paul Ince slams Man Utd star in rant - "What is he good for? Nothing!"
Premier League great has slammed Manchester United star. When Romelu Lukaku isn’t scoring for Manchester United, he brings 'nothing' to the table, according to Paul Ince. Lukaku, who has struggled to score goals this season, found the net at Southampton on December 1, and hadn't scored for the Red Devils since September 15 against Watford. His goal tally has been poor so far as he’s only been able to find the net five times - well off the pace of the current leader, Pierre-Em

Paul Ince is convinced Jose Mourinho made the right call to drop Paul Pogba when Manchester United hosted Arsenal on Wednesday.

Tottenham's Kane is after a fourth Golden Boot.
Harry Kane has revealed he is keen to win the Premier League Golden Boot this season. The England international was the highest goalscorer in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 season but wasn’t able to seal a hat-trick as Mo Salah won the award last term. He also won the World Cup Golden Boot in Russia during the summer, beating the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann to the accolade.

Guardiola backs misfiring Gabriel Jesus.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has backed Gabriel Jesus to bounce back to scoring ways after the Brazilian failed to find the net in their 2-1 win at Watford.

He hasn't scored a Premier League goal since August but Guardiola isn't worried by his lack of goals as the 21-year-old "does many other things" for the Cit

Arsenal legend lauds "fearless" Torreira.
Martin Keown has heaped praise on Lucas Torreira after his "fearless" display in the North London derby. The Arsenal midfield marshal was a key figure in their win over Spurs and he scored the fourth goal of the match to wrap up the win for the Gunners. However, Keown compared the Uruguayan, who signed from Sampdoria in the summer for £26million, to some Arsenal greats, adding that he controlled the midfield.

Why it’s really time for Mourinho to go.
When Jose Mourinho was first unveiled as the new Manchester United manager in May 2016, I went on record as saying that they’d “hired the wrong man at the right time”. After all, while the Portuguese was (and never will be) a stylistic match for the Red Devils, his winning mentality and ability to attract some of the world’s best players was desperately required after three years of relative stagnation under the leadership David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal. This made the capture

A proper Liverpool player takes the club to trophies.
Van Dijk must guide Liverpool to silverware before he is considered a club legend, says Carragher.

The fact Everton haven't won at Anfield since 1999 doesn't bother Marco Silva. The Toffees, who sit in 6th spot in the Premier League table after their win over Cardiff last weekend, aren't looking at their record at Anfield as they will be looking to compound Jurgen Klopp's woes after their midweek Champions League defeat to PSG.

Spurs boss knows they'll face a 'tough' Arsenal side under Emery. The north London derby won't be the same without Arsenal Wenger, says Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.
