Thomas Tuchel wants 'no excuses or distractions' once the transfer window closes for his wantaway Chelsea stars, with several of his squad aiming to leave the ...

There were signs against Leicester that Raheem Sterling is really starting to settle into his new surroundings and Thomas Tuchel will be keen to see more of that tonight. After what has been a somewhat stumbling start to the season, Chelsea cannot afford to keep making life even more difficult for themselves. “At the moment, I accept it’s like this,” Tuchel said. They face a Southampton side who would have taken plenty of confidence from their display against Manchester United last time out, even though they were left empty-handed. The Blues played more than an hour with ten men against the Foxes, after Conor Gallagher’s early red card, but Raheem Sterling’s brace helped them to a much-needed three points. The Saints caused the visitors plenty of problems and will be looking to produce a similar display against Chelsea.

Match highlights of every Premier League game this season to be shown on the Sky Sports website and app just after full time; play Super 6 to win £250000 ...

And now they are heading to a team that could be on course for one of the best defensive records in the Premier League this season if the early numbers are to be believed. The Toon lost by two or more under Howe at Tottenham, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool last season so I was a little surprised to see as big as 8/11 with Sky Bet for Liverpool -1 on the handicap meaning we'll get paid if they win by two or more. West Ham have yet to score before the break and have recorded the second lowest expected goals return and shots - only Bournemouth have produced a lower return on both counts. Since the start of last season, the average total match shots in a Premier League is just below 26 (25.85 to be precise) and this game feels to me like it has potential to go over that average. I've learnt to respect Newcastle's chances when playing at home but am very keen look for ways to exploit their overrated status in many markets when playing on the road. There is a feeling that on the whole Leeds are being a tad overrated by the markets and I'd be steering clear of the 11/10 with Sky Bet for a home win. Pep Guardiola rested Gundogan against Palace but called for him from the bench, and in his 30 minutes on the pitch he recorded a 100 per cent pass completion and grabbed an assist. He is phenomenal, we all know it, but when opponents are defending deep and a side play with three centre- backs he's going to find space very hard to come by early on in matches, while his team-mates will be freed up. I'm pretty convinced there are the makings of a really good side lurking at Wolves, but a lack of confidence in attack and the lingering cloud of a winless run is certainly affecting their performance at key moments in matches. Everton are a tougher nut to crack this season with their addition of some key defensive reinforcements and there is a spirit building there. I'm a big advocate of the expected goals model to help deem a team's true performance level but that figure completely overrated Leeds as an attacking force in a hugely one-sided defeat on the south coast. It was painful viewing, yet it was another performance that clarified he is hugely overpriced in the goalscorer markets with somehow the 17/2 anytime bet not landing due to his wasteful finishing.

The Earliest Premier League Sackings | The Analyst (The Analyst)

Scott Parker has departed Bournemouth after just four league games in 2022-23, but which managers have lost their jobs the earliest in a Premier League ...

Fellow 0-9 enthusiasts Southampton, for instance, have allowed opponents 5.2 xG but have only let in eight goals. Other early departures worth flagging include Alan Curbishley’s at West Ham United, 18 days into the 2008-09 season. One difference between the managers described here and Scott Parker is that they were all in charge of clubs who had been in the Premier League the previous season. By the end of 1995-96 City had been relegated and many traced the club’s decline back to the decision to dismiss Reid so early into 1993-94. The shortest season a permanent Premier League manager has experienced remains Paul Sturrock’s incredibly brief 2004-05 at Southampton. Either way, Parker’s departure is one of the earliest in Premier League history, but which unfortunate managers have been sacked even earlier into the season?

Gordon and Kristensen leant in with their foreheads and the subsequent melee was mirrored on the touchline after words had been exchanged between rival coaching staff. Leeds peppered Everton’s penalty area and Nathan Patterson’s late shot was saved by Meslier as the points were shared. Rodrigo, and Leeds, were then dealt a blow in the 30th minute when the Spaniard was withdrawn after appearing to injure his shoulder in a challenge with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Leicester are having a nightmare start. It seems to be working. Wins have been hard to come by, however, with only one so far. Newcastle will back themselves to put up a fight at Anfield. The sorry Cherries simply caught the wrath of Liverpool frustrations. Although not as prolific as Manchester City or Arsenal, Spurs have made a good start without really hitting their best level.

Anthony Gordon, who has been strongly linked with a possible move to Chelsea, opened the scoring for Everton with a fine goal but Sinisterra was on hand to ...

Everton have barely broken forward yet, but Alex Iwobi plays an inch perfect pass to Anthony Gordon, who brilliantly slots into the back of the net from insdie the area. The first of them fell to new signing Amadou Onana, who saw a point-blank-range effort from a corner deflect the safety off Diego Llorente, before Nathan Patterson burst into the box and should have finished, only to shoot too close to Illan Meslier. But they equally struggled to close down the former England U21 international outside the box as he darted forward at every opportunity. Despite the lack of chances, that did come somewhat against the run of play as United were dominating in terms of possession and territory, but struggled to break down a stubborn defence who kept the strikers at bay. United were a different beast after the break though, with Brendan Aaronson and Jack Harrison having shots saved. Everton’s worst start to a Premier League season for 12 years continued as they drew 1-1 with Leeds at Elland Road.

"Jonathan Woodgate took the club to the play-offs in the Championship and had a really good spell. "There has to be aligned thinking with regards to the manager and the football club. "The alignment between the manager and the club, the sustainability of the club and being profitable and doing things in the right way is important. But the next six games with 18 points up for grabs, it could well be a defining period in their season." "They're still really tough fixtures as that is what you get in the Premier League. His lack of experience would be a risk but his record as a player in the division certainly speaks for itself. Parker did a fantastic job in getting them out of the division, and we know how hard it is to get out of the Championship. There is perhaps a group of players in that dressing room who have looked at the manager's comments after games and thought, 'wow, that feels a bit harsh'. "I don't really see Sean Dyche's philosophy being one the club would like, Chris Wilder is a really exciting manager and we saw what he did with Middlesbrough after leaving Sheffield United. He's always backed the manager in the transfer window and they've always tried to recruit young, promising, exciting players. "When they last went down, they sold £80m worth of players, they invested into the squad and came back up again. "That's been reflected in the statement released by the football club.

Given the fact that he is essentially Chelsea’s only out and out striker, it is about time that the Albanian international starts from the off to show that he is capable of leading from the off. However, it’s goals the side need and he is failing to deliver. When the Blues are craving a goal, it is concerning that their man leading the line is failing to chip in with a goal. Over the last few years, Chelsea’s problem is their ability to find the back of the net. Ageing like a fine wine, Silva continues to show why he is one of the top players in the world in his position. The Italian’s ability to help defend his teammates was questionable throughout the entirety of the game.

Deadline Day: Where every Premier League club should be looking ... (FourFourTwo)

Jump to: Arsenal; Aston Villa; Bournemouth; Brentford; Brighton; Chelsea; Crystal Palace; Everton; Fulham; Leeds; Leicester; Liverpool; Manchester City ...

The defence looked a little thin at the start of the season and with interest in Craig Dawson, Moyes may want to get another body in before the deadline. Arsenal have shown an interest and the deal looks unlikely to materialise now but the Portuguese wing wizard is as exciting a spark as Lage has in his side and letting him go him could cost the manager his job. An encyclopedia of football shirts and boots knowledge – both past and present – Mark has also been to the FA Cup and League Cup finals for FFT and has written pieces for the mag ranging on subjects from Bobby Robson's season at Barcelona to Robinho's career. West Ham have signed Lucas Paqueta in the dying embers of the window and that will probably conclude what has been an ambitious summer of business. Aston Villa have endured a tough start to the season – and despite making their signings early, they may still be in the market for one more. It would be a disaster for the new No.10 to have gone before Neal Maupay even makes his debut. It might be worth testing Leicester's mettle for the No.10 again ahead of an uncertain season for the Foxes. The forward line could perhaps do with another option in there too, though, given Diogo Jota's injury issues – though Fabio Carvalho may be ready to step up sooner than we may all have realised. Still, there could – maybe should – be another signing in the works. Neal Maupay has gone, Denis Undav is now the long-term successor at striker and Graham Potter won't be panicked into shelling out money for a goalscorer. Another left-back to rival Jordan Zemura would be the only suggestion from our end – if a loan becomes available. It's 13 games that the Gunners have to navigate in the league, plus six Europa League fixtures before the window reopens: they should be fine in midfield.

Sky Sports announce Premier League clubs with highest net spends ... (The Mag)

Just to clarify, net spend refers to the final total, with money spent on players coming in, less what comes in from selling players.

So the net spend was always going to be high, due to the fact we had nobody to sell! Even just in the two windows directly before Ashley left, he only allowed one new player to come in (Joe Willock) in an entire year. Without the Grealish £100m, it would be £350m net spend in that time. Man Utd have been taking Saudi ‘state money’ for 15 years now, their longest running sponsor is a Saudi state owned business, then they took on another Saudi state owned business in a sponsorship agreement a few years ago, doubling the Saudi interest / money in their club. The ridiculous way Ashley ran the club, especially the transfer side of things, also meant that Eddie Howe and the new owners inherited a squad where the vast majority had little or no transfer value (Ashley and Bruce handing out numerous new contracts out in their final year or so, to existing ageing players who mostly were already not good enough, rather than signing new players). How much have Man Utd banked from the Saudi state these past 15 years and then spent on players?

[Newcastle](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/newcastle-united-fc) United - Alexander Isak (£59m from Real Sociedad) [West Ham](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/west-ham-united-fc) United will be hoping that they have better luck having done the same.

[Ole Gunnar Solskjaer](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/ole-gunnar-solskjaer) or Ralf Rangnick were also not able to draw the best out of Pogba. Following an initial loan spell at St Mary’s where he scored eight goals, the Saints agreed a permanent deal with Liverpool - a move that more than paid off. However, he sunk to a low recently with a red card on his first competitive Anfield outing. In that time, he spent time out on loan at Villarreal and Napoli before sealing a permanent switch to the Serie A club this summer. There were some promising moments from the former Spurs midfielder after his £45m switch but not enough to justify the huge price tag. One of the deals that has seen a club recently break their transfer record is Brentford’s move to bring Keane Lewis-Potter to West London. He scored just eight goals in his first season but then followed that up with 16 strikes in all competitions in the 2020/21 campaign. They spent a considerable amount of time chasing the services of Norwich City playmaker Buendia.
