Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend
Iheanacho looks to impress, what now for Mourinho’s shambolic defence and no change for Rafa at Man City
Despite not dropping a point or conceding a goal, Liverpool have yet to really hit their stride in the current campaign. West Ham took very little beating in their opener, while subsequent victories over Crystal Palace and Brighton were a mite laboured. An away trip to Leicester on Saturday lunchtime should provide another reasonably stiff test ahead of what is likely to be a more challenging trip to Tottenham Hotspur after the international break. Leicester clearly missed the searing pace of the suspended Jamie Vardy against Southampton and Kelechi Iheanacho struggled to impress in his role as replacement. The striker got off the mark for the season against Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday and with Vardy sitting out the last instalment of a three-match ban , he needs a big performance against the – thus far – impregnable two-man portcullis that is Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, if he is to stake any sort of claim for keeping Vardy out upon his return.

More than a game: not just gold on line for Son Heung-min in Asian Games final | John Duerden
The pressure building on South Korea’s captain reaches a crescendo on Saturday when he could win military exemption
Arguably the biggest game of football this weekend takes place in the unlikely location of West Java, where South Korea take on Japan in the final of the 2018 Asian Games. Rarely has a football tournament been so much about one player and onlookers around the world have found themselves fretting almost as much as those in Seoul about the fate of the Korean captain Son Heung-min.
It all ends, one way or another, on Saturday as the biggest rivals in Asia meet at Pakansari Stadium in Cibinong. The Samurai Blue would love to win but the Taeguk Warriors have to – only gold would mean military exemption for the 20 players in the Korean squad. That is the only reason Tottenham Hotspur let Son leave the early stages of the Premier League season to play in a far-flung, regional Under-23 tournament (he is one of three overage players allowed).

Burnley’s Europa League dream ends with draw against Olympiakos
• Burnley 1-1 Olympiakos (Olympiakos win 4-2 on aggregate)
• Daniel Podence and Matej Vydra swap goals but Clarets are out
Sean Dyche blamed some questionable refereeing decisions for the 3-1 scoreline against Burnley in the first leg in Athens, apparently with a degree of justification. The story was completely different here. Even with a weakened team Burnley created enough chances to win the tie twice over, yet managed to miss them all until the substitute Matej Vydra marked his debut with a scrambled close-range effort five minutes from the end.
By then it was too late. Olympiakos had gone up the field after an evening of dogged, last-ditch defending and put the tie beyond reach with Daniel Podence’s cool finish. Vydra’s equaliser merely allowed the home side parity on the night. Burnley deserved that, though it would be hard to argue they merited a place in the Europa League proper after wasting so many opportunities.

Wasps v Wigan, a young Marseille fan goes rogue and ping-pong wizardry
This week’s roundup also features kayaking over a waterfall, a one-second heavyweight bout and the perfect flip throw-in
1) The Premiership rugby union season kicks off this weekend. There were some brilliant tries last season. Here are eight of the best of them. There were some shuddering tackles too. Saracens are the team to beat in 2018-19, having been crowned champions for the fourth time after beating Exeter 27-10 with a sizzling display at Twickenham in June. Relive highlights here. Sarries won the Premiership Rugby Sevens final this summer too, a tournament that was arguably more fun when rugby league teams such as Wigan entered it. Here’s Shaun Edwards’s Wigan silencing Twickenham by humbling Lawrence Dallaglio’s Wasps in 1996.
2) A young Marseille fan is invited to take part in the ceremonial kick-off against Rennes, which involves kicking the ball once, but instead goes rogue and dribbles the length of the pitch, scores and celebrates with top-off wild abandon. And here’s an absolutely sensational strike from the Northern Premier League, where Pablo Mills has probably wrapped up Mickleover Sports FC’s goal-of-the-season award before the end of August.

Football transfer rumours: Celtic's Moussa Dembélé set for Lyon exit?
Today’s tell-all was up late
Chelsea love a loan window like the Mill loves fluff. Thirty-eight players were rented out last season, 34 have gone this term, and there’s talk of shifting more before Friday’s 5pm loan deadline. Izzy Brown, Fankaty Dabo and Islam Feruz could all go; Tammy Abraham doesn’t want to go but might have to; and Ruben Loftus-Cheek really does want to go, but has been told he can’t. He’s been left “fuming” by it – but Chelsea reckon he should show some patience. January’s not far off.
Friday should be busy elsewhere, too, with regular transfer deadlines in Scotland and most of Europe. Expect more of this sort of thing on Thursday, then: Jean-Michel Aulas – Lyon president and Twitter provocateur – being coy about signing Celtic’s Moussa Dembélé: “He’s an option, though we have others”; Pedro Martins, Olympiakos manager, being coy about re-signing Yaya Touré: “I won’t refer to players that do not belong to our group yet”; and Steven Gerrard being skittish about Rangers’ £2m deal for Osijek winger Joe Grezda: “I just don’t want to say too much, until it’s over the line.” He’s also hoping to land Forest’s Joe Worrall on loan.

By MUNDIAL, part of the Guardian Sport Network
There are 23 games of football going on at Hackney Marshes this morning and around the same number will be kicking off this afternoon. There are big, wardrobe lads; there are wiry, ironing board lads; there are stocky, tumble dryer lads. There are all the languages, all the races, all the religions. Tracksuits on, boot bags in hand, they walk past the cafe, into the foyer and over to the fixtures table to find out what pitch they are on today.
They’re thinking about their performance last week, about who they have this morning, about how they’re going to make an impact in the first five minutes. Without them, there would be no football at all. No screamers, no crossfield passes, no last-ditch tackles. No free-kicks, no corners, no sendings off. Without the referees, there’d be chaos.

• Ipso says newspaper justified in subterfuge
The former England manager Sam Allardyce has lost his complaint that the Daily Telegraph broke journalism’s rules by sending an undercover reporter to propose a business deal and discuss rules on the third-party ownership of footballers.
Allardyce lost his job managing the national team in September 2016 as a result of the sting, in which one of the newspaper’s reporters posed as a representative of a fake sports management agency and secretly recorded their conversations. The press regulator Ipso concluded that the Daily Telegraph’s subterfuge was justified on the basis that it was a “productive and proportionate” way to investigate the types of commercial relationships Allardyce was willing to consider and the findings “could reasonably be considered to demonstrate sufficiently serious impropriety” to justify publication.

• Liverpool and Everton understood to be considering initiative
• Thirteen clubs across UK have already signed up
Brighton have become the first Premier League club to commit to providing female fans with free sanitary products after a campaign was launched by three women who are supporters of Celtic. The Guardian understands that both Liverpool and Everton are also discussing whether they are in a position to offer free feminine hygiene products in the women’s toilets at their stadiums.
The On the Ball campaign was launched in Scotland by students Orlaith Duffy, Erin Slaven and Mikaela McKinley in an effort to increase the visibility of female football fans. But it has now spread across the UK with 13 clubs, including Barnsley in League One, signed up to the initiative. McKinley said: “I think it takes us back to the role football clubs have a part in the community beyond football. A lot of smaller clubs were quick to come on board because they’re perhaps a bit more in tune with what their fanbase wants. Bbut in terms of visibility it’s great to have a Premier League club on board.”

The 2014 champions were humiliated when they were condemned to their earliest World Cup exit in 80 years. They went out following the group stage after losing two of their three matches.

Plus: repeat results, comedy clubs and referees scoring goals. Mail us or tweet @TheKnowledge_GU
“Chelsea registered a possession percentage of 81.1% in their 2-1 win over Newcastle and made a staggering 838 successful passes. Is this a Premier League record?” asks George Jones.
Not quite, George, though for possession and passes Chelsea’s bravura display of ball-hogging against Newcastle does register high on both lists. They rank fifth on the table of highest-ever possession, and sixth for most successful passes. All records go back to 2003-04, when Opta stats began. Only two teams sit above Chelsea in the overall possession charts for a single match.

Tim Cahill to be honoured in Socceroos game in Sydney

Australia will host Lebanon for the first time in November in a friendly mooted as a final farewell for Socceroos legend Tim Cahill.

Cahill’s appearance is not yet set in stone, with FFA chief David Gallop saying negotiations with his management are ongoing. A formal announcement should come next week but if all goes to plan, fans will be able to see Cahill one last time in a Socceroos shirt in his home town.

• Dennis Srbeny double helps ease Norwich into the third round
• Saido Berahino scores first goal for Stoke since February 2016
Cardiff crashed out of the Carabao Cup as Norwich, Championship strugglers, beat them 3-1 in south Wales. Dennis Srbeny’s double and a Max Aarons goal left their Premier League opponents to contemplate a painful second-round exit. Bruno Manga’s 77th-minute header was little consolation for Cardiff, although it ended their goal drought this season after 347 minutes of football.

Is José Mourinho still the man to fix Manchester United’s problems? | Jamie Jackson
Many fans at Old Trafford are blaming the Portuguese for the club’s poor Premier League start but he can turn things around
from Football | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2NxTKwQ
José Mourinho may point to how all three of Tottenham’s goals were down to errors in his rearguard and use this as evidence of why he wanted an elite centre-back this summer. Yet closer examination makes a case that the manager himself is culpable for the leaky defence against Spurs and that its past record shows this should not be a problem department. Ander Herrera played Tottenham onside for Lucas Moura’s first goal, having been a Mourinho selection in an unfamiliar centre-back role in an (also new) 3-3-3-1. And what good has Mourinho’s public pursuit of a new centre-half done to the confidence of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling? Harry Kane outjumped Jones and Smalling was undone by Lucas’s trickery for the Brazilian’s second goal. Jones and Smalling have been an integral part of United conceding the second‑fewest Premier League goals in each of the manager’s two seasons, improving from 29 to 28. A focus on the defence is a distraction – the real issue is the lack of goals: only 54 and 68.

Patrick Vieira faces a crisis at Nice just three weeks into the Ligue 1 season
It’s still early days but Vieira needs to turn things around quickly after a brutal 4-0 defeat at home to Dijon
By Adam White and Eric Devin for Get French Football News
Nice players were quick to toe a line of togetherness and self-flagellation after their 4-0 home defeat to Dijon. Captain Dante was at once blunt and prosaic: “It hurts a lot, it’s hard, but we mustn’t lower our heads. We have to increase our level of concentration. We missed a lot of chances, but next time we can put them away. We must show character, even if there are things to say to each other, especially after going down 2-0. In front, in attack, we are all responsible.”
Midfielder Wylan Cyprien, 12 years younger and less experienced than his captain, was less diplomatic, saying: “The coach hasn’t yet found the formula to get the best performance possible. It hurts, especially at home, but I’m staying positive.”

Does partnering with men's clubs help or hinder women's football teams?
Sharing a stadium and facilities can help both men’s and women’s clubs grow, although the tactic isn’t always a guarantee of success
Is a downtown stadium a cure-all for any soccer club that needs a boost? And do US women’s soccer teams need to be affiliated with men’s professional clubs? Like so many things in an allegedly simple game, it’s complicated.
The Washington Spirit, finishing up an awful campaign in the National Women’s Soccer League, gave Audi Field a test drive on Saturday night. The Spirit’s usual home field – the Maryland SoccerPlex – is more than 30 miles from the Washington Monument. In contrast, the Monument is clearly visible over the stands at the new downtown Audi Field, built for Major League Soccer’s DC United.
