⚽ Keep up with the latest news before the weekend’s action⚽ Premier League: 10 things to look out for | And email JohnHere’s our usual lookahead, including to tonight’s game at Bournemouth.Unbeaten in the league since their Friday night opener at Anfield, Bournemouth’s early momentum has been stalled by consecutive draws: at home to Newcastle and at Leeds last week. Fulham visit the Vitality on Friday, offering Andoni Iraola’s side a presentable chance of recapturing winning ways and going second in the table. After a turbulent summer, Iraola has sought consistency in his team selection. Trailing 2-1 at Leeds, the Bournemouth manager made a triple change to restore three usual starters – David Brooks, Alex Scott and Marcus Tavernier – to his XI and was rewarded with a late leveller. Bournemouth have also maintained defensive stability, conceding just once in four games between the trips to Liverpool and Leeds. Marcos Senesi, often playing in an otherwise brand-new back five, has b...

34 h. ago Rodri replacements in short supply with Manchester City’s metronome lacking rhythm | Will Unwin

Nico González’s error against Monaco highlighted the glaring need for a succession plan in midfieldPatience is required for Rodri, Manchester City’s metronomic midfielder. Returning from something as serious as a cruciate ligament injury was never going to be straightforward. He made a tentative comeback at the end of last season after months out and continues to readjust to a role the Ballon d’Or winner had made his own.Pep Guardiola has been quite clear that Rodri cannot yet cope with the rigours of playing three games in a week and, as such, it was no surprise to see him withdraw the 29-year-old after an hour of the 2-2 draw in Monaco, having left him out entirely of the weekend win over Burnley. There are no concerns that Rodri will not get back to his best, but the mechanics of the body need to match up with the mind and that, understandably, is not instantaneous after such a major setback. What it also clear is that City need to evaluate their succession plan. Continue reading...
