Smith believes Norwich, who have a high vaccination record within the playing squad, will adapt again as the pandemic takes another uncertain turn. He became the first ever Zambian referee to take charge of a game at a World Cup, controlling the whistle in two World Cup 2018 group games - Belgium vs Panama and Japan vs Poland. Injuries in this period of the season are normal - as long as they are not too harsh we have to accept that. Keita had been displaying some of his best form since joining the club in 2018, playing a starring role with a goal and an assist in last month's 5-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. In total, James made three key passes, completed four successful dribbles (80% success rate), and won all four of his tackles. Always they will say what they think and I understand we're promoting challenges but sometimes we're seeing joke penalties given and sometimes we see very dangerous actions and they don't take action. Rangnick admits that United contributed to their own downfall on Tuesday and are six years behind Liverpool as they crave a sustained title challenge in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era. Instead, the funk in which the team find themselves goes on after conceding yet another late goal at the King Power Stadium and surrendering two points in their 2-2 draw at home to West Ham United. I think it is more of the attitude with the players on the pitch than what it is in training because they'll be made to work and they'll have certain ways of playing. Managers and players have been left angry with their clubs and the Premier League for rejecting a 'festive firebreak' amid the upsurge in coronavirus cases which they believe will put safety at risk. Speaking after the previous week's defeat against another relegation-threatened side, Everton, Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville said none of the United players are ahead of their opposite numbers at Liverpool. American forward Josh Sargent is also expected back in the squad after not featuring at the London Stadium as his partner gave birth. England manager Gareth Southgate - also speaking to BBC - said on vaccinations: The only way through it is to fight the virus collectively - for health reasons; for the economy; for everything. We all have that responsibility to think of other people as well as ourselves at times like this. Chelsea are in the same position as Man Utd, and they played a strong side. They've got to go to Liverpool and play at home to Wolves! That's because Onana had no intention of letting his suspension derail his career, undertaking a personally designed training program in Salou, close to former club Barcelona. It didn't cross my mind but when you see the angle from the other side, Iheanacho clearly hooks Varane's leg, it's clearly a foul. Bruno Lage’s side got off to a dream start in N16, as Raul Jimenez gave Wolves the lead with just six minutes on the clock. The Mexican forward’s half-volley from inside the box flew past Hugo Lloris and into the net. They were two really important goals as well, and at important times as well. The first one it was nice to see was a direct ball, it was a quick release and the keeper made Chris' mind up for him really, but he executed it really well. The case on why Antonio would be back to his best after a few months of tired performances played out perfectly - he was outstanding leading the line in a 2-1 win. The 19-year-old forward, who has registered four goals in eight appearances this season, has been out of action since November with a troublesome hamstring complaint. I played against Barnes three or four times and played with him for England and although when I played against him around 1995/96, he was just coming to the end, I think just for his ability and skill, he was a brilliant player.
