If we've closed that window, we've got no flexibility. We have to go in with an inflated budget to cover ourselves in the event of injuries. Whereas if the window stays open, we can carry on trading and just top our squad up as and when needed. The people I've spoken to at the FA are broadly supportive. I think there would have to be some caveats and conditions in there because you wouldn't want anyone abusing it.

Yes, the ground will be empty but they will still want to put on a show, and I'm afraid Villa are going to be on the receiving end. Southampton v Man City (19:00 BST)Saints striker Danny Ings has got a great chance of the golden boot because Jamie Vardy has stopped scoring for Leicester, Manchester City's Sergio Aguero is injured and I don't know how much Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah are going to play for Liverpool now the title is done and dustedI'm not trying to sell him when I talk about how many teams would take him but I think Saints should offer him a new contract and wrap him up in cotton wool.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in favour of the visitors. PSV have a great head to head record against VVV and have outplayed Sunday’s hosts in all departments so far this season. The visitors have been hot and cold at home in the Eredivisie and we are expecting another disappointing result for the relegation battlers this weekend.

Gareth is fine. He has two years left on his contract," he told BBC Sport. He likes living in Madrid and he is going nowhere. He is still as good as anyone else in the team. It's up to [Real Madrid manager] Zinedine Zidane. Of course there's been interest but there's hardly a club in the world which can afford him. It's a great loss that he's not in the Real Madrid team at the moment but he will not leave.

It was only 29 minutes in when he removed Eric Dier and sent on Christian Eriksen, replacing a player many expect to become a key component under Mourinho with one many believe does not want a part in the new era.

Both teams desperately need the points. Zenit St. Petersburg is very strong playing at home and if they want to keep going on European Champions League they have to win it today. On the other side we have a team that is fine with the draw even though the win would put them in chance of being first in group and would make things a lot easier down the line. Since both teams need it, Lyon has the better team but Zenit os very strong at home I believe the draw has value here. I predict a 1-1 draw here

Utrecht have only lost three of their eight home games this season in the Eredivisie and while they are yet to draw, the fact that Feyenoord have drawn four of their eight away games does suggest that a stalemate could well be on the cards this Sunday.
