Liverpool striker Christian Benteke is ready to “run more” after having a “man conversation” with boss Jurgen Klopp. The Belgium international, 25, came off the bench to score the winner on Saturday and end Premier League leaders Leicester’s three-month unbeaten run. “We had a ‘man conversation’ and I think it is going to help me and help the team,” said Benteke, whose side visit Sunderland on Wednesday. “I have to run more and I have to be there for my team-mates.” Benteke, a £32.5m signing from Aston Villa in July, started the first six matches of the season under Brendan…
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini believes he has the strongest team in the Premier League – when all his players are fit. City are third in the table, six points behind leaders Leicester after Monday’s 2-1 defeat at Arsenal. Captain Vincent Kompany, 29, is set to return after eight matches out. Striker Sergio Aguero has missed 11 games. “We are in all the competitions and we did that without a lot of important players,” said Pellegrini. “But, of course, with all the players fit and playing every game, we are the strongest team.” Defender Pablo Zabaleta and midfielder Fernando are…
Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick says it is “disrespectful” to claim the club’s players are not trying their best for manager Louis van Gaal. United’s Boxing Day defeat at Stoke was their fourth in a row and extended their winless run to seven games. Van Gaal, who says he could quit, was at United’s training ground on Sunday. “It is a bit disrespectful when people say the lads aren’t trying for the manager,” said Carrick. “That hurts us – it’s not the type of people we are.” The United vice-captain added: “We haven’t won games and it is fair enough…
Vardy broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s 12-year record this season by scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League matches. The 28-year-old has 14 goals for the Foxes this term and has played three times for England. Hodgson said Vardy’s goalscoring record would make him a “very strong contender” to go to the tournament. “He won’t score in every game between now and when I select a team for the Euros,” said the England manager. “But what he can do is continue to be Jamie Vardy, playing in the way Jamie Vardy does.” Vardy, the Premier League’s top scorer, has helped take Leicester…
Guus Hiddink said he is relishing the challenge of attempting to lead Chelsea out of what he admits is a “desperate” situation. The Premier League champions face Louis van Gaal’s struggling Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday lying 15th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone and 13 adrift of the Champions League qualification places. Emenalo described as “palpable discord” between Jose Mourinho and his squad presented Hiddink with the chance to return to the club he led to FA Cup glory as caretaker manager in the 2008-09 campaign. Failed spells that followed with Turkey, Anzhi…
The 2015-16 La Liga season began with reigning champions Barcelona shipping goals aplenty, while Rafa Benitez’s spell as Real Madrid coach started with his team hardly conceding at all. Those initial impressions proved misleading, however, and the swing in fortunes between the big two was emphasised by Barca’s 4-0 Clasico win at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in late November. Meanwhile, a much-changed Atletico Madrid team took time to gel, with Diego Simeone’s men powering through the autumn but still not looking quite as good as previous year’s sides. Sevilla, Valencia and Athletic Bilbao had difficult starts to their campaigns, allowing…
Despite Leicester City’s deserved 1-0 defeat at Liverpool, the Foxes are still two points clear at the top of the Premier League after second-placed Arsenal were thrashed 4-0 at Southampton later on Boxing Day. The Foxes’ unbeaten run, which lasted nine matches, was always going to end at some point and there’s certainly no disgrace losing at Liverpool. Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri rightly called it a nervy display, but the hosts deserve huge credit for matching City’s energy as well as adopting a 4-4-2 formation — largely out of respect for Leicester. Other managers will inevitably take note of Jurgen…
Diego Costa hasn’t had the happiest of campaigns at Chelsea, with a struggle to recapture last season’s barnstorming form followed by a hostile reception from the Stamford Bridge fans in the aftermath of Jose Mourinho’s departure. Although Costa looked more like his old self against Watford, scoring twice (and being booked) in an eventful draw, reports in Spain continue to suggest he could be on his way back to La Liga. One destination could be his old employers Atletico Madrid, with the Sun reporting that their president Enrique Cerezo has suggested Costa could return to the club he left in…

It’s always like that with a new coach.…
Former Barcelona captain Xavi has called into question the philosophy of former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho. Xavi got an up-close look at the way the Portuguese worked while in charge of arch-rival Real Madrid, and says that winning at all costs isn’t the way he sees the game. “He always wanted to win at any price and that shows in the way he goes about things,” Xavi told Portuguese outlet Record. “I respect that philosophy, but winning at any cost means you can’t stay true to a playing style. For me, the ends don’t always justify the means. “I have…
