Paper Round's view: Getting Maddison to sign a new contract will be seen as more important than any potential incoming transfers this year for Leicester. The Foxes need to hold onto the youngster, who had recently been labelled as "United's top transfer priority" alongside Aston Villa's Jack Grealish.
Blackburn Rovers is in the middle of standings, currently at 10th place, but also without defeat in last four rounds, winning two of them, today they will play against strong opponent, Fulham is at third place, and one of serious candidates for direct promotion but it is too early to talk about it. Fulham has a strong offensive line, A Mitrovic, is top scorer of championship, also Reid and Cavaleiro will be in attack for visitors, but in this duel they will be without suspended defender Tim Ream. Blackburn Rovers will have a strong support from domestic fans, referee's will be under strong pressure, most realistic result will be a draw.
IN OTHER NEWS Sometimes you can’t do anything other than applaud. HAT TIP "That doesn’t make the answer ‘yes’ for Messi. His 36 goals in 34 league appearances certainly make a case, as do his 12 goals in the Champions League.

Umtiti was included in Setien's squad for Thursday's game, although the coach confirmed that the player would make his own travel arrangements.

On the prospect of the club taking action against Dier, Mourinho said: "If the club does that I will not agree, but he did wrong. The incident happened in the area behind the dugouts, which is a corporate section, and Mourinho criticised it for not housing "real Tottenham fans". He added: "The people that are in these privileged positions by the tunnel, of course some are Tottenham fans. But I think a lot of corporate, a lot of invitation, a lot of people with special status [are in there] and probably it is the place of the stadium where I sometimes have doubts over if they are the real Tottenham fans, because these [real fans] are the ones who support the boys until the last.

We're all mere mortals and we're all trying to aspire to just five or 10% of what he achieved. Stories of what he did when has was here still reverberate around this building. He didn't change - people say - from the man that stood in front of the camera, to the man that stood on the touchline, to the man that would have a drink with you. He just seemed to be that type of person that everybody liked and everybody gravitated towards and players wanted to play for.

This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
They have two losses and three wins in their last 10 matches and they have scored in seven of their last 10 matches. Two of their last 11 matches have produced over 2. They have scored seven goals in the last three home matches. While they have the third best defence in the league, having conceded 13 goals, Sheffield have scored the least among the top 10 sides – 17.
Their recent form has been patchy, as they've alternated between winning and losing for the last six league matches, though Barton's men are likely to approach this fixture feeling confident.

Interestingly, only two teams in the entire division have taken more home points than Saturday's hosts, who've failed to win just two of their eight games at Highbury Stadium, where they've scored 14 and conceded just six.
Poor defending allowed Lewis Dunk to equalise before Neal Maupay scored the winner for Brighton in the fifth minute of added time. I know we have a young squad but we threw the game away," said Arteta. I am very frustrated. It is unacceptable the way we lost the game. We had to put it to bed earlier.

New boss Mikel Arteta believes he has already seen encouraging signs from his players as he prepares to take full charge of Arsenal for the first time. The Gunners, who drew 0-0 at Everton on Saturday with Arteta watching from the stands, travel to Bournemouth on Thursday (15:00 GMT). We are much more committed, we have a different kind of aggression every time we lose the ball," said Arteta, "The body language was much, much better than in the past few games.
Boutique lenders'Helping clubs finance transfers or stadium improvements by lending against future broadcast income and the value of players as intangible assets is nothing new, and there are a number of lenders to whom clubs can turn. Traub says an already established relationship with Benfica, having helped restructure their balance sheet, played a part in their involvement in the Felix transfer ahead of others "desperate to try to help because it was an opportunistic transaction".

This weekend they travel to Genoa on the back of a victory over Inter Milan that put them second in the table. Genoa languish at the other end of Serie A, a point from safety in 18th place. They are stringing the kind of results together that could get them out of their current mess. Two draws and two wins from their last four games are signs of life from minnows that had lost five of their previous seven games.
I see at least a one goal win for the guests in this one as they have been superb in this second league in this start of the season top of the league with a record of 11-3-0 after 14 games played a long distance from the rest of the pack at the top at this moment and they ended a run of 5 wins in a row on the road in which they did not concede a single goal with a 1-1 draw last away game at Katamon, but Akko is not that strong.
Last weekend’s 5-1 demolition of Brisbane Roar underlined the quality that Steve Corica has at his disposal and without any major injury or suspension problems, the hosts will be hoping to pick up another big win and assert their dominance over the league.
Forest, who looked to be heading for victory at East Midlands rivals Derby County before conceding a equaliser in second-half stoppage time, have only lost one of their past nine league games.

I was really lucky to have Rachel, because the amount of text messages she got from me. Bless her cotton socks, she was like my little mentor," Fishlock said. I could ask: 'I'm feeling this, is this normal?' She's like: 'Yeah. So I was lucky because I had a couple of people. Kimmy Little from Scotland is another one, who had just gone through it. That really helped me get through it. I was lucky with that.
All things considered, we cannot see why the hosts have been priced as such big underdogs in this fixture and feel that backing them on the Draw No Bet line provides excellent value. They are in excellent form and with Alanyaspor's goals having dried up, a 1-0 margin of home victory could well be on the cards.
Both teams are in terrible form right now. The home side are coming from 4 defeats in their last 5 matches and have not won in their last 5 matches.

They have not lost in their home ground hy winning 4 and drawing 4 matches.
Oleksandr Zinchenko replaces Benjamin Mendy. Posted at 59' David Silva (Manchester City) wins a free kick in the attacking half. Posted at 59' Foul by Mason Mount (Chelsea). Jurgen Klopp has succeeded where seven managers before him failed by ending Liverpool's 30-year wait for a top-flight title and guiding them to a first Premier League crown. The Reds are on course for a record-breaking domestic season, but it has not always been smooth sailing for the charismatic German, who took charge in October 2015.
With Kepa Arrizabalaga still proving inadequate between the sticks, and protection in front of the Spanish stopper limited, we expect Chelsea to concede again this week against a Brighton team who carry a decent attacking threat at home.

Both have been heavily criticised this season as part of an underperforming squad containing players some feel are simply not good enough who have, nevertheless, been awarded new contracts in recent times.

Both decisions seem odd.

Blackburn are on the up and into the top half, but can they keep picking up points when they face Derby this week? The hosts are making great strides in recent weeks, while the visitors have run into some poor form on the road. Can Blackburn add to their three-game winning run.
Mourinho stalked the touchline throughout, often accompanied by his animated new assistant Joao Sacramento, who may be only 30 but is certainly not shy of offering his boss plenty of advice, even confident enough to offer up a bit of tic-tac behind his back. If Mourinho's confidence is clad in steel, Sacramento does not appear to be far behind. Mourinho really kicked into life once the second half started, coaxing, cajoling and eventually able to celebrate an important victory.
Austria Klagenfurt will play against Lafnitz in the Erste Liga of Austria on Sunday. Austria Klagenfurt coming from two wins over Kapfenberg and Linz but they also conceded in both matches.

Vitoria Setubal don’t score many goals at home, averaging 0.50 goals per home game, but they only concede an average of 0.13 goals which is why we have backed Saturday’s clash to end goalless.
Bologna have been a high scoring side over the last year, while 88% of their home games this season have seen both teams score. With BTTS landing in 10 of the last 11 matches here in the league, it is our tip for Monday’s clash. On top of that, we’re backing a defeat for a Fiorentina side who have lost their last three away games.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he would be unable to prevent Leroy Sane's departure should the German winger want to leave the club.
