Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend

Liverpool’s problems could worsen in the derby, Ranieri returns to the Bridge and Newcastle fans plan a walk-in protest

Maybe the table never lies but it sure can mislead. Perhaps Liverpool are the second-best team in the Premier League at the moment but that does not mean they are very good. So far in the league they have been unbeaten and unconvincing. The main problem is their midfield, which lacks ingenuity and suffers from waning dynamism. Jürgen Klopp has not overhauled it swiftly enough, though at least he has started Xherdan Shaqiri in the last two leagues games to bring more inventiveness. But he deployed Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Gigi Wijnaldum for Wednesday’s lame Champions League defeat in Paris. Henderson is suspended for Sunday’s Merseyside derby so there’s no need for him to be dropped. But there’s a good case for sidelining Wijnaldum and even Milner to go with a midfield trio of Shaqiri, Naby Keïta and Fabinho. That would partly be an expression of faith in the ability of the last two to produce their best form, which has so far eluded them in the early, stop-start days of their careers at Liverpool. Everton, meanwhile, are looking increasingly formidable. If Idrissa Gueye and André Gomes run midfield, as they may well do, then Everton could win at Anfield for the first time this century. PD

PFA received complaint claiming Gordon Taylor referred to black footballers as ‘coloured’

• PFA chief denies he said it or would use such language
• Outdated language claim brings leadership back into spotlight
• No suggestion union leader is racist

Gordon Taylor’s leadership of the Professional Footballers’ Association is back in the spotlight after it emerged a complaint was made that he referred to black players as “coloured” at an event arranged to promote diversity and racial equality.

Taylor has told the PFA he cannot recall using the alleged term when giving a talk almost a year ago. A spokesperson for the players’ union said: “Gordon firmly believes he didn’t say it and it is not language he would ever use. He has led in this area for 40 years and understands fully the sensitivities.”

Callum Hudson-Odoi scores first Chelsea goal in thrashing of 10-man PAOK

This was a mismatch from the start, one of those Europa League group games where Chelsea might have lapsed into a stroll and prevailed with just as much to spare, but it still had its moment to savour. The clock had ticked on to the hour-mark with PAOK heaving to repel another of the hosts’ attacks when Gary Cahill and Cesc Fàbregas retrieved possession, with the latter slipping Callum Hudson-Odoi free into space down the left.

The teenager scuttled forward, Léo Matos backing off further with the forward’s every delicate touch, before effortlessly stroking away an early shot with the inside of his right foot. Both defender and goalkeeper had clearly anticipated the effort being angled towards the far post, only for the ball to fizz inside the near post as a startled Alexandros Paschalakis dived forlornly to his right.

Rangers hang on against Villarreal after red card for Daniel Candeias

Analysis of this game must always come with context of Rangers playing the second half with 10 men. Villarreal will be upset at departing with just a point, thereby not seizing on the opportunity given to them by Daniel Candeias’s dismissal. Their territorial dominance ultimately amounted to very little so Steven Gerrard retains a live hope of taking Rangers to the Europa League’s knockout phase in this, his first season as a manager. What Rangers lacked in quality, they made up for with belligerence.

Manchester United activate one-year extension on David de Gea’s contract

• Spain goalkeeper now contracted until 2020
• Alexis Sánchez ruled out with hamstring injury

David de Gea may well stay at Manchester United for at least another 18 months after the club activated an option to extend his present contract by a year.

The goalkeeper’s current deal was due to end next summer though it is understood De Gea and his representatives are now working on the basis that the player who joined from Atlético Madrid in 2011 will stay until 2020. Had the extension clause in his contract not been triggered, De Gea would have been free to talk to other clubs in the January transfer window and possibly sign a pre-contract agreement.

Lucas Moura relishes chance to shine at Spurs after being displaced at PSG

Brazilian is keen to make his point on Sunday against Arsenal and Unai Emery, the manager who froze him out at PSG

Lucas Moura has described it as the worst seven months of his life and even now the speed of his descent from hero to zero under Unai Emery at Paris Saint-Germain feels mystifying.

The Tottenham winger was an established PSG player when Emery came to the club for the 2016-17 season and he would make 53 appearances in all competitions for him, getting 19 goals – a career high and second only to Edinson Cavani in the club’s scoring charts.

Sol Campbell: ‘Macclesfield fans will probably think: what’s going on here?’

The former Arsenal and England defender is unveiled at the League Two club’s Moss Rose ground and is delighted to have the opportunity to manage

Sol Campbell arrived a few minutes late for the debut press conference of his belated managerial career having overrun with his first full training session at Macclesfield Town earlier in the day. He apologised to those assembled in the McIlroy Lounge at Moss Rose, looked and sounded remarkably at ease in his new, humble surroundings and preferred to thank the club that has given him the opportunity rather than dwell on the many who did not. But there were hints of dismay at what has been an exhausting path from celebrated player to manager of the Football League’s bottom club.

The Wembley lights will be on for a special fixture this Friday night. Stonewall FC are playing Wilberforce Wanderers to honour the trailblazing work of Britain’s first LGBT football team. If that were not occasion enough there will also be three points at stake in the Middlesex County Football League Division One Central & East.

“We’re going to meet at the station and have the whole squad walking down Wembley Way together,” says Stonewall’s manager, Eric Najib Armanazi. “Everyone will be dressed in their club tracksuits and they’ll have 10 minutes to walk on the pitch and take a selfie. But once they are in the dressing room, they have to realise we have a match to win.”

Mourinho has a point about young players – but he should trust them more | Eni Aluko

Youngsters today are not as ready for first-team action as they used to be. However José Mourinho should treat those who do break through, such as Marcus Rashford, with more respect

There’s been a lot of debate this week about the difference between young players today compared to 10 years ago after José Mourinho referred to them as “spoiled kids”. It’s interesting because I do think things have changed significantly in terms of their level of readiness.

Young players have always found it hard to break into the first team but those who did in the past such as Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen were much more ready to make that step than those who are coming through now. You don’t see many 18-year-olds doing the same these days – Marcus Rashford was probably the last one to do so at a big Premier League club.

James Milner says Liverpool not thinking about crashing out of Europe

• ‘We’re just focused on getting through the group’
• Virgil van Dijk criticises gamesmanship of PSG players

Liverpool will not deserve a place in the knockout stage of the Champions League should they fail to defeat Napoli in the crucial Group C decider at Anfield, James Milner has said.

Liverpool must beat the Italian side 1-0 or by two goals on 11 December having missed an opportunity to qualify at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. The 2-1 defeat at Parc des Princes leaves Liverpool at risk of slipping into the Europa League – or even finishing bottom of Group C – seven months after reaching the Champions League final.

The surprising struggles of Europe's top goalkeepers

David de Gea, Thibaut Courtois, Marc-André ter Stegen and Manuel Neuer have all been unusually inconsistent this season

By Martin Laurence for WhoScored

The weekend threw up another series of shock results around Europe. Real Madrid suffered a humiliating defeat, losing 3-0 at Eibar; Bayern Munich could only manage a 3-3 draw against Fortuna Dusseldorf, the bottom team in the Bundesliga; and Manchester United were also held at home against Crystal Palace. José Mourinho’s team are now a point closer to Fulham at bottom of the table than Manchester City at the top.

The one upside for United was that David de Gea kept his first clean sheet in nine league matches. He pulled off a brilliant save against Young Boys as United progressed to the last-16 of the Champions League but it has been a tough season for the Spaniard in the league – and he is not the only big-name keeper who is struggling.

Liverpool can still qualify despite hard lesson from Neymar and PSG

The finale may be how Liverpool like it – an all-or-nothing, death-or-glory Champions League decider at Anfield – but not how they want it. Jürgen Klopp lamented Neymar’s antics, the referee and Paris Saint-Germain gamesmanship but ultimately had only Liverpool’s lacklustre start to blame for another European away defeat. “A big step forward for us,” beamed Thomas Tuchel. Liverpool are in danger of finding reverse in the competition they cherish.

Inspired by the infuriating but sometimes unplayable Neymar, PSG delivered a deeply impressive performance that finally lived up to their expensive ambitions among the European elite. They lost their shape and composure once James Milner halved a deficit delivered by goals from Juan Bernat and the world’s most expensive footballer but there was no disputing the merit of a victory that the French champions had to deliver.

• Napoli keep pressure on Liverpool with win over Red Star

Barcelona ensured their place in the knockout stages with a 2-1 win over PSV in Eindhoven. Lionel Messi’s fired in a spectacular solo goal to put the visitors ahead shortly before Gerard Piqué doubled their lead with a tap-in. Luuk de Jong struck a late consolation.

Marek Hamsik’s early strike set Napoli on their way to a victory over Red Star Belgrade that kept the Italians top of Group C. Dries Mertens added a goal either side of half-time in a 3-1 win, Mohamed Ben Nabouhane scoring for the visitors.

Tammy Abraham scores four as Aston Villa draw 5-5 with Nottingham Forest

The Aston Villa manager, Dean Smith, struggled to comprehend how his side failed to win despite scoring five goals at home against Nottingham Forest.

Tammy Abraham scored four times as the hosts fought back from 2-0, 3-2 and 4-3 down but it proved in vain as 10-man Forest gained a remarkable 5-5 draw thanks to Lewis Grabban’s 82nd-minute equaliser.

Mark Hughes’ official complaints reveal hypocrisy of a serial whinger | Barry Glendenning

Manager’s VAR anguish would be permissible if it did not entirely oppose his previous grumble over Southampton’s treatment

Almost 20 years into his career as a manager, we finally appear to have reached peak Mark Hughes. Following Southampton’s Carabao Cup defeat on penalties at Leicester, he used his post-match interview to complain about a refereeing decision that had not gone his team’s way. In itself, that was not unusual – rarely a weekend goes by in which Hughes does not publicly lay blame for their many shortcomings at the door of officialdom. Long before Donald Trump developed a reputation for tediously ranting and raving about the perceived injustices repeatedly inflicted upon him by the Fake News Media, Hughes had earned one for railing similarly against referees.

Arsenal in limbo after martial law in Ukraine leaves venue in doubt

• Europa League match against Vorskla Poltava switched to Kiev
• Vorskla: We have applied to play in Kiev and are awaiting reply

Arsenal’s Europa League match against Vorskla Poltava on Thursday remains in doubt after the Ukrainian side said they do not know where the game can be played.

Uefa decided on Tuesday to move the Group E game from Poltava’s Oleksiy Butovsky Stadium – around 185 miles east of Kiev – to the Olimpiyskiy Stadium in the capital owing to security concerns following the introduction of martial law. Politicians in the country this week approved a proposal to introduce martial law in areas most vulnerable to attack following the seizing of three Ukrainian ships by Russia.

Championship roundup: West Brom come from behind to beat Swansea

• Dawson’s and Hegazi’s set-piece goals send West Brom fourth
• Derby midfielder Johnson accused over incident with Allen

West Brom continued their upturn with a 2-1 win at Swansea that took them to fourth place in the Championship. Central defenders Craig Dawson and Ahmed Hegazi punished slack Swansea set-piece marking to hand the visitors their third consecutive victory.

Oli McBurnie’s early effort gave Swansea the lead but West Brom were ahead by half-time and Darren Moore’s side saw out the game in comfortable fashion.

Chelsea players called in for individual Sarri meetings after Tottenham debacle

• One-on-one meetings held after ‘match without determination’
• Sarri critical of Kanté for ‘wrong’ reaction to bad Wembley start

Maurizio Sarri conducted one-on-one meetings with his Chelsea players as he sought an explanation for a perceived lack of “determination” in the defeat by Tottenham, with the manager also critical of N’Golo Kanté’s reaction to the team’s slack start at Wembley.

Chelsea, who can win their Europa League group with a point at home to Paok Salonika on Thursday, were overrun early on, trailed by two goals after 16 minutes and lost 3-1. Sarri was quick to offer a reminder it was his team’s first competitive defeat of the season after an 18-game unbeaten start, but, having seen the warning signs in previous matches, he was dismayed the same issues had flared again in such a key derby.

Neymar, the great individualist of the age, gives less to provide more for PSG | Barney Ronay

The Brazilian scored PSG’s winner in perhaps his most effective high-profile performance since leaving Barcelona

With Neymar the questions have always been along the same kind of lines. How far? How good? To what height can the broad wings of his own attacking talent carry him? At a slightly wild Parc des Princes, Liverpool lost an exciting, slightly fractious Champions League game 2-1, menaced throughout by a star striker intent on posing two very different sets of questions.

For the opening 40 minutes, Liverpool felt the force of what was surely Neymar’s most effective high-profile performance since his Barcelona days. This was followed by the beta version: a second half of circus play and indulgence on the ball, with Neymar tumbling to the turf like a tiny little Victorian fairy sprite lashed with a blow from the under-gardener’s rake; and beyond that the full range of attacking ego-ball.

Dele Alli the intense, flexible emblem of Tottenham’s mental strength

Spurs’ special brand of nerveless resolve was on glorious display in the win over Internazionale – Alli represents its zenith

When we talk about nerves, we often ascribe them the qualities of metal. They’re made of steel, obviously, and when things are not going so well they start to jangle, like a set of keys or a piece of taut piano wire. But what if real emotional resilience was less like metal and more like, say, pastry? What if the key to surviving pressure was actually to stay malleable, supple, even a bit soft?

Spurs were within 10 minutes of flunking out of Europe here and might well do so for real when they head to Camp Nou in two weeks’ time. But thanks to Christian Eriksen’s beautiful goal – delivered by Moussa Sissoko, finessed by Dele Alli and slammed home by the Dane – Spurs are still alive in the Champions League. And in winning this game they showed nerves of pastry throughout.

Fan’s view: ‘As an Arsenal supporter in Kiev, it feels like business as usual’

As a regular on Arsenal’s European excursions, this may be the oddest trip yet but the locals seem to be carrying on as normal

When you choose to come on a trip like this, one of the reasons is for it to be a bit of an “I was there” experience, but that wasn’t exactly factoring in the way the situation has developed. When we booked it felt like one that would be good to say you went to.

I have been following Arsenal for European away games for years. I try to get at least a couple in every season. This has to be my oddest trip yet because of the uncertainty. Not knowing where the game will take place, plus the added layer of not even being sure it will take place, and the potential for war, makes it a very unusual type of football trip.

Richard Scudamore’s £5m tip might blow over but resentment will linger | Marina Hyde

Gordon Taylor’s largesse has superseded the furore over the outgoing Premier League chief executive’s retirement gift yet this level of boardroom excess is a slap in the face to fans

A friend once stepped aboard a super-yacht hired by a super-rich, and asked far more questions about how much it cost than I assume is regarded as polite. Naturally, such things are bogglingly, unimaginably expensive to rent – but it was amusing to hear that the tip is also mandatory. In the case of this boat, the tip was £38,000 per week.

I was reminded of this as the Premier League clubs voted to thank outgoing chief executive Richard Scudamore for his service earlier this month, in the form of what amounts to a tip of £250,000. Each. So a round £5m for a man who has been in post for almost 20 years, and who last year took home just the £2.5m salary and undisclosed bonuses.

How do you build a buccaneering team who sweep away all before them? How do you turn a team who suffer a 3-1 cup final defeat by invincible double winners into one who demolish them 5-0 in their next meeting to maintain an unbeaten start to a new season?

Joe Montemurro’s three-quarter season in charge at Arsenal was about laying the foundations for just such a transformation. Working without expectations with a team laden with stars – not least four Dutch European Championship winners – but lacking direction, the Australian set about his task.

Opta don’t keep data for this sort of thing, but thankfully the memory banks of our readers are full of the stuff. “Luis Suárez signed for Liverpool in the afternoon of 31 January 2011,” writes Ruaraidh Gillies. “He scored against Stoke on his debut two days later, on 2 February, and was only officially unveiled to the press the following day.”

The forgotten story of … 'evil' Football League test matches

At the end of the 19th century, the battle for First Division places involved unwisely scheduled post-season test matches

As the 1897-98 season roared towards its final furlong, the battle to avoid relegation from the First Division was white hot. Seven of the 16 teams were in danger of being forced to endure the post-season test matches that pitted the top two of the Second Division with the bottom two of the First to decide the final make-up of the following year’s top flight. “However the final positions may be allocated there will be a finer set of test games this April than ever before,” trilled Sporting Life in February. It is fair to say they got that one wrong.

By the time the season ended the league’s own president was declaring the tests “a distinct failure” and proclaiming that “the sooner we get rid of them the better”, while plans were made to gift the two losing sides promotion as a final apology for inventing the cursed system in the first place.

Sol Campbell finally gets his chance to manage after years in the shadows | Sachin Nakrani

The former England defender has had to deal with rejection and said he would take an unpaid role. Now he is taking over at the Football League’s bottom club

Back in July 2017, I sat down with Sol Campbell at an Italian restaurant off the King’s Road. I had interviewed him at the same venue six years earlier and, having maintained a line of contact with the former Arsenal and England defender in the interim, our latest meeting was designed to be nothing more than an informal chat on a warm summer’s afternoon.

It came as a surprise, then, when Campbell used the opportunity to open up on his desire to become a manager. Normally reserved and a little withdrawn, he spoke like a man at his wits’ end. He had standing, qualifications and coaching experience but simply could not nail down a job, and such was his desperation to do so he claimed he would be willing to work for free. “I’m up for that,” Campbell said. “I’m itching to start, I just need a chance, even just an interview in which I can say: ‘Take me for free and I’ll show you what I can do.’”

'A message for my lovers': Mourinho hits back at critics – video

Manchester United manager José Mourinho was in a combative mood after his team’s narrow Champions League win over Young Boys. Despite qualifying for the knockout rounds with a game to spare, United’s performance was far from convincing, with Marouane Fellaini’s injury-time goal the difference. But Mourinho defended his record in Europe, saying: ‘I play Champions League 14 years, and I qualify 14 times. The two years I wasn’t in the Champions League, I won the Europa League twice.’

He also stood by his decision to drop star players Alexis Sánchez, Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku from the starting lineup, claiming those who had played ‘gave everything’
