      How Chelsea could line-up against Southampton in Carabao Cup with N’Golo Kante returning after muscle tightness

      by

      CHELSEA will be looking for a fifth consecutive victory in all competitions when they host Southampton in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.Thomas Tuchel’s side will be bouncing following their 7-0 victory over Norwich at the weekend as they retained their position at the top of the Premier League table.
      How we believe Chelsea will line up against Southampton
      And while the German coach is expected to make several changes to that team for the midweek clash with Saints, a major positive is set to be the return of midfielder N’Golo Kante.
      When asked after the Norwich win about the Frenchman’s fitness, Tuchel said: “It was simply one day too early.
      “If the match [Norwich] would have been on Sunday he would have played. So he is fully available for Tuesday and for Newcastle.”
      A number of other players could be given an opportunity to prove themselves to the Chelsea boss as he looks to manage his squad through the various competitions.
      Marcos Alonso will be hoping to make a case for himself after being ousted from the first team by the free-scoring Ben Chilwell.
      Trevoh Chalobah could keep his place but Antonio Rudiger and Thiago Silva will likely be rested to give Malang Sarr an opportunity.

      Another way Tuchel may look to set up against Saints
      And then it is a matter of whether Tuchel decides to go with a three or four at the back.
      He could stick with his tried and tested 3-4-2-1 and bring Cesar Azpilicueta into the middle of defence, with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Alonso down the flanks.
      Or he could choose to do what he did in the last round of the Carabao Cup against Aston Villa and switch to a 4-3-3.
      That would mean packing the midfield with Kante alongside potentially Saul Niguez and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
      Then you could push Hudson-Odoi into the front three where Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz look set to start.

      The formation Tuchel goes with may impact whether Mason Mount starts the game. If he plays a back three then there is more chance the England international will feature from the off.
      Mount will be brimming with confidence after netting a hat-trick against Norwich at the weekend.
      Chelsea have already faced Southampton at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League earlier this month, winning 3-1 in a hard-fought game that turned in their favour when James Ward-Prowse was sent off. More

      Solskjaer hints Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to play Man Utd’s Carabao Cup clash vs West Ham and reveals secret friendlies

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted Cristiano Ronaldo WANTED to play against West Ham on Wednesday. The 36-year-old scored on Sunday when the two sides met at the London Stadium, helping United to a 2-1 victory.

      But Ronaldo was rested for the Carabao Cup third round fixture at Old Trafford.
      And Manuel Lanzini’s first half strike knocked the Red Devils out of the competition, leaving Solskjaer’s side chasing silverware in just three competitions: the Premier League, Champions League and the FA Cup.
      Solskjaer has revealed that Ronaldo wanted to play against West Ham, but the boss felt it wasn’t ‘possible’.
      The Norwegian told Sky Sports: ” We decided more or less before Sunday [to make changes].
      “We need more players to get match fit. Alex Telles is back and has been training for a week. It will be a long season.
      “Cristiano has come in and made a difference already, he wants to play as much as possible but I don’t think it is possible.

      “If you are going to be successful at the end, you need the whole squad and minutes to be shared out.”
      Solksjaer also revealed that the Red Devils have played some games behind closed doors in the hope his team find their rhythm.
      He added: “A risk making so many changes but we have played some games behind closed doors and hopefully we find the rhythm.”
      Ronaldo is keen to win silverware with United once again, but he believes the team needs to build up a winning mentality.
      He told MUTV: “As I told you before, we have huge potential.
      “We have fantastic players, a good coach, a good team. We need to build up the mentality to win the Premier League and even the Champions League.
      “So I am here to help the team. I think we have the 11 that are playing and those on the bench that can help as well.
      “We have a good team, as I told you, and the spirit is there.”

      Up next for the Red Devils is Dean Smith’s new look, Jack Grealish-less Aston Villa on Saturday.
      The Villans are coming off the back of an impressive 3-0 win over Everton.
      Ronaldo will almost certainly come back into Solskjaer’s starting XI as he looks to score for the fourth game in a row.

      Solskjaer equals run of form that saw Moyes SACKED as ex-Man Utd manager piles pressure on boss in West Ham defeat

      by

      OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has equalled the run of form that saw David Moyes SACKED as Manchester United boss.The current man in the hotseat lost to the Chosen One’s West Ham on Wednesday night as the Red Devils crashed out of the Carabao Cup thanks to Manuel Lanzini’s finish.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won just five of his last ten games in charge

      United have now won just five of their last ten matches in all competitions – enough for the board to wield the axe and get rid of Moyes back in 2014.
      The current streak includes Premier League victories over West Ham, Newcastle, Wolves and Leeds this season – as well as Wolves in the final game of last term.
      But they drew with Fulham back in May, then lost the Europa League final on penalties to Villarreal.
      This term they had a stalemate with Southampton and suffered shock cup losses to Young Boys and now West Ham to jeopardise their hopes of silverware in the New Year.
      And ironically, the latest flop result came with Moyes in the away dugout last night as he piled the pressure on the Norwegian.
      Compared to three draws and two defeats from Solskjaer’s last ten games, Moyes had four losses and a draw.

      Those costly defeats – between March and April 2014 – came in crunch clashes with Liverpool, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and his former club Everton.
      The draw was the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final with Bayern.
      Louis van Gaal, meanwhile, won an impressive seven of his last ten games – including the FA Cup final – but it was not enough to keep his job in May 2016.
      United are back in Premier League action on Saturday as they host Aston Villa at 12.30pm knowing they can go top of the league by bettering Chelsea’s result against City in the other early kick-off.
      The Red Devils game has been brought forward due to The Courteeners playing at the Old Trafford cricket ground down the road that evening.
      But Solskjaer is confident his stars will be singing from the same hymn sheet with a strong performance at the weekend.

      He said: “We’ve got lots of games and we’ll just keep on doing what we’re doing and trying to get results.
      “We’ve started the season OK, apart from we’re out of this cup which is not great, and we haven’t had a great result away in Europe.
      “But we’ll be focused, we’ll be ready for Saturday.”

      Man Utd star Matic escapes three-match ban for kneeing West Ham’s Coufal in the privates after referee spotted incident

      by

      NEMANJA MATIC will NOT face any FA action despite kneeing Vladimir Coufal in the privates.Manchester United star Matic aimed a shot at the midriff of Coufal after a challenge during West Ham’s Carabao Cup win on Wednesday night.
      Nemanja Matic kneed Vladimir Coufal in the groin in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday
      But the Serbian has avoided a three-match ban

      It appeared referee Jon Moss had failed to spot the incident, leaving fears the Serbian would be hit with a retrospective violent conduct charge from the FA.
      But SunSport understands Moss’ report landed at Wembley on Thursday morning where he made it clear he had seen what happened.
      And because the match officials saw and dealt with the clash in real time, FA regulations mean no further action can be taken so Matic will escape a three match ban.
      The Serb lashed out at the Hammers right-back as United lost 1-0 – with fans assuming it was missed because VAR wasn’t being used.
      Manuel Lanzini’s early goal gave the East Londoners their first win at Old Trafford since 2007.
      But the Argentine had to leave the pitch after the Coufal incident thanks to ANOTHER bad challenge from Matic.

      Czech Coufal did not make a meal of it but it looked a painful one
      BETTING SPECIAL – GET JOSHUA TO WIN IN ROUNDS 1-6 AT 60/1 OR ANYTIME AT 25/1
      The United holding midfielder’s first lucky escape came just before the hour mark.
      Coufal – who came off the bench to replace injured Ryan Fredericks early on – had the ball by the sideline as Matic tried to shut him down.
      The Czech quickly tried to move the ball on and played it off Matic’s shins and out of play.
      But the midfielder followed through and lashed out by kneeing the right-back in the groin.
      Coufal went down and appealed to the nearby fourth official – though he did not make a meal of it.
      Matic ran off as if nothing as happened and appeared to get away with it because there was no VAR for the Carabao Cup tie.
      However Moss has since confirmed he saw it during the game.
      Matic doubled down on his good fortune with a nasty tackle on matchwinner Lanzini later in the game.
      The former Chelsea man raked his studs down the Argentine’s ankle after a late challenge and the ref missed it again.
      Lanzini was subbed off injured as a result soon after.
      Fans online were furious Matic got away with both challenges but particularly his sneaky knee on Coufal.
      ‘SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RED’
      After Aouar claimed it wasn’t even a foul, Pete replied and wrote: “I’ll come and knee you in the b******s and then see what you think.”
      Brendan tweeted: “VAR wouldn’t have done anything anyway.
      “You must be forgetting it goes blind whenever a United player does anything wrong.”
      Batesy said: “If that happened to Fernandes he would’ve been rolling around on the ground for at least five mins.”
      Chris asked: “Why would you need VAR to spot that, surely one of the four officials would have spotted that.”
      Michael simply added: “Should have been a red.”
      Before Dylan chimed in with: “Yet United fans constantly cry about referees ‘hating’ them and giving them no decisions.
      ⚽ Read our Man United live blog for the latest news and transfer gossip from Old Trafford
      “VAR could easily see that as violent conduct.”
      David Moyes recorded his first win over United since being sacked as their manager with the victory.
      But the Hammers’ bubbles were slightly faded soon after the final whistle as they were drawn at home to perennial Carabao Cup winners Manchester City in the next round.

      Redknapp told SunSport: “This takes it to the people where the game belongs. 
      “It’s great to be at a bowls club, it just shows anyone can be a part of football so I think it’s marvelous especially after the pandemic to do fun things like this.
      “After the lockdown, we all suffered for such a long time so it is wonderful seeing crowds back in the football stadiums to bowls clubs. It’s brilliant.”

      Man Utd ratings: Van de Beek and Co miss chance to impress before late Fernandes show fails to spark comeback

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED were dumped out of the Carabao Cup after shock defeat by West Ham.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s much-changed side failed to create enough chances to trouble the Hammers at Old Trafford.
      Manchester United fell to a shock Carabao Cup final defeat on WednesdayCredit: Getty
      Manuel Lanzini’s early strike did the damage and extended the United manager’s wait for a major trophy.
      Here, SunSport’s George Moore delivers his verdict on the Red Devils’ performers.
      Dean Henderson – 6
      Nothing he could have done about Lanzini’s goal and a couple of really good saves late on gave his side a chance.
      A decent return to the Man Utd side for Dean Henderson.
      Diogo Dalot – 5
      Saw a lot of the ball and was as industrious as ever down the right flank but couldn’t make a real impact on his return to the side.
      Tried to get forward when he could, but looked a little bit out of sorts.
      Victor Lindelof – 5
      Looked a little bit short of confidence after being displaced as a starter by Raphael Varane and didn’t make as many forward passes as he normally does.
      Didn’t do much wrong, but was less than his best in a team that needed some leadership.
      BETTING SPECIAL – GET JOSHUA TO WIN IN ROUNDS 1-6 AT 60/1 OR ANYTIME AT 25/1

      Eric Bailly – 5
      Didn’t do too much wrong but gave the ball away once or twice and wasted a few headers from attacking set-pieces.
      Will be having nightmares about Jarrod Bowen tonight.
      Alex Telles – 4
      Was skinned for Lanzini’s opener and hooked in the second-half. A difficult return to Old Trafford for Telles.
      For a full-back known for his attacking contributions, he offered very little tonight.
      West Ham took a 1-0 win in the Carabao Cup third roundCredit: Getty
      Nemanja Matic – 5
      The 33-year-old Serbian made a telling contribution with his assist for Jesse Lingard on Sunday, but was not able to make any real impact today.
      Donny van de Beek – 5
      Should have been tracking Lanzini when he scored.
      Struggled to link play between defence and attack and had a couple of shots from distance that he’ll want to forget.
      Jesse Lingard – 6
      Was Man Utd’s best player until he came off and was sacrificed for Bruno Fernandes.
      Combined well with Sancho and Martial at times and had a couple of decent shots, but just didn’t have luck on his side.
      Jesse Lingard was unable to score again past his old clubCredit: Reuters
      Juan Mata – 5
      Struggled to get into the game and looked a bit off the pace on the right wing.
      Masuaku had a good night for West Ham, but Mata will be disappointed not to contribute more.
      Jadon Sancho – 6
      Showed more attacking threat than most of his teammates but was unable to get past the solid West Ham backline.
      Another frustrating night for Sancho.
      Anthony Martial – 4
      Did himself no favours trying to get back into the team tonight. Really struggled to make an impact and looked totally out of his depth playing through the middle.
      Had a difficult night up against the West Ham back three.
      Even Bruno Fernandes couldn’t spark United into a comebackCredit: AP
      Substitutes
      Mason Greenwood – 6
      Was dangerous from the moment he came on and nearly levelled things up straight away but couldn’t quite find a breakthrough.
      Had a decent chance from the edge of the area which went well wide, summing up Man Utd’s night.
      Bruno Fernandes – 6
      Was instantly as dangerous as ever and looked like he could have helped his side find an equaliser if he’d come on sooner.
      Wasn’t his night as he struggled to combine with his attackers as well as normal, mainly due to solid West Ham defending.
      Anthony Elanga – 5
      Didn’t really have an impact at all when he came on and struggled to get involved in the play.
      Was isolated out of position at left-back after replacing Telles.

      EYES ON THE PRIZE
      That’s all from us tonight, folks.
      Thank you for keeping up with our live coverage of Man Utd vs West Ham in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
      The Hammers came out 1-0 winners on the night and will face Man City at the Olympic Stadium in round four, with some other tasty fixtures in the draw including Arsenal vs Leeds and Chelsea vs Southampton.
      Disappointment for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but he’ll be quickly turning his attention to the Premier League as his side take on Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Saturday.
      West Ham face Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday, but fans will already be looking forward to welcoming Rapid Wien to east London for their first home Europa League game of the season next Thursday.
      Here’s the rest of the draw for round four after tonight’s fixtures. Goodnight from us.

      CAPTAIN FANTASTIC
      Hammers skipper Mark Noble could barely contain his delight at the final whistle to have put things right after his penalty miss on Sunday and was candid in his interview with Sky Sports post-match.
      “Obviously the last couple of days have been a bit tough, but what do you do? You know, you put your boots back on and you come out and play.
      “I thought the players tonight were fantastic. You’re going to get knocked while you’re a football player, I’m old enough now to realise that. I’ve missed penalties in the past.
      “At the end of the day, you’ve got to be brave enough to step up and take responsibility and I missed.
      “But tonight, I’ve come out here at Old Trafford, one of the greatest places in the world to play and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.”

      SLOW BURNERS
      Solskjaer spoke to Sky Sports after the game and claims that the team’s slow start and West Ham’s early goal was the main reason for their disappointing result.
      “Poor start, slow start again and that needs addressing. We started slowly and they got the goal.
      “After that I thought we played well for long periods. We gave it a good go. Stats don’t mean anything, but when you’ve got 27 shots, you know that the boys have given it a good go.
      “We didn’t create big chances, but we built pressure but sometimes that pressure doesn’t come to anything.”

      SHOOT BUT DON’T SCORE
      Man Utd had 27 shots on goal but only 6 on target, creating only one clear cut chance despite having 61% of the possession.
      A frustrating night for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had entrusted his squad players to get the job done and was ultimately let down.
      The home side looked far brighter and more dangerous with Mason Greenwood and Bruno Fernandes on the pitch, with Anthony Martial largely absent.
      Solskjaer will be counting down the days until Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani are fit enough to return to his matchday squad.

      UNITED VS CITY
      It’s United vs City… West Ham United, that is.
      West Ham will take on Man City at the Olympic Stadium in what is set to be a difficult tie for the Hammers, but they’ve shown tonight they’re not afraid of anyone.
      Man Utd knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the third round for the first time since 2018 when they were beaten on penalties by Derby.
      West Ham got their revenge against the Old Trafford club tonight and progress to the next round.
      Delight for the David Moyes, but real disappointment for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who will consider this a missed opportunity to potential win his first trophy at the club.

      Chelsea also go through on penalties after a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

      ALL EYES ON ROUND FOUR
      We’re waiting for the draw for the next round now and here are the teams that will be involved…

      SAME AGAIN
      West Ham have made it to the fourth round for the fourth year running, but that’s as far as they’ve got since 2016.
      Stick around to find out who they’ll face in the final 16…

      PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP!!!!!
      THAT’S IT! WEST HAM HAVE DONE IT!
      THEY’VE GOT REVENGE FOR THEIR DEFEAT ON SUNDAY AND PUT MAN UTD OUT IN THE THIRD ROUND OF THE CARABAO CUP
      FULL-TIME: MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      90+2 – Henderson comes up for a corner and it’s everyone in the West Ham half.
      The goalkeeper thinks he’s a midfielder for a moment and tries to spray the ball forward to Van de Beek but it goes way over his head.
      That could be it…
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      90 – Four minutes added on here. West Ham looking to strangle the game now but Man Utd won’t give them a moment’s piece.
      The Old Trafford crowd get behind their side for one last big push at the end.
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      88 – CLOSE AGAIN! Bowen once again finds himself closing in on goal and has a shot at Henderson’s near post but the goalkeeper does really well to keep it out again.
      West Ham should be out of sight from those chances in the last couple of minutes.
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      87 – CLOSE! Jarrow Bowen and Mark Noble are two on one and Bowen squares it wide for Noble who somehow manages to hit it straight at Henderson.
      West Ham should have put the game to bed by now.
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      85 – CLOSE! Yarmolenko HAS to score. He’s six yards out with a practically open goal and cannons the ball off the post.
      He can’t believe it, the crowd can’t believe it. That would’ve been curtains for Man Utd.

      84 – Another Man Utd counter attack from deep as Elanga breaks away but he’s fouled cleverly by Kral before he can really break free.
      The Slovakian has had a solid night in midfield, deputising very well for Declan Rice.

      81 – Greenwood gets the ball on the edge of the box and cuts in on his left foot but by standards it’s poor and goes well wide of the goal.
      Man Utd running out of time here and the crowd are getting more and more nervous.
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      79 – West Ham are causing Man Utd all sorts of problems on the counter-attack and breakaway after a Man Utd chance but a superb tackle from Bruno Fernandes quickly snuffs it out.
      He then puts Greenwood in on the right flank who bamboozles Johnson to get into the box and gets a shot off but it’s well saved by Areola.
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      76 – Elanga and Sancho combine on the left wing and it’s the directness of Sancho that wins the hosts a corner.
      It’s taken short by Fernandes and comes to nothing, to the frustration of the home fans.
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      74 – Man Utd instantly look to have more attacking threat with Bruno Fernandes on the pitch, but with only fifteen minutes to go there’s not long left to turn this around.
      Just one goal for the home side and this goes to penalties.
      MAN UTD SUBSTITUTIONS
      72 – It’s a very attacking change from the hosts and not a minute too soon. One player that Man Utd fans are very excited about for the future and one player they worship in the here and now.
      OFF: Alex Telles, Jesse Lingard.
      ON: Anthony Elanga, Bruno Fernandes.
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      71 – Lingard does well to break away at speed on the left and floats one into the box.
      It goes above everyone but lands to Diogo Dalot, who tries to hit it back across goal but it goes out for a corner.
      Dalot takes the corner, but Bailly heads it well over.
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      69 – BLOCK! Man Utd break away with Sancho and Lingard not for the first time tonight and Lingard finds himself in a shooting position outside the box.
      He looks to have struck it very sweetly but it’s well blocked and West Ham breathe a sigh of relief.
      WEST HAM SUBSTITUTIONS
      68 – Two attacking changes from David Moyes, who isn’t happy to just sit back and let the home side attack them.
      OFF: Arthur Masuaku, Manuel Lanzini.
      ON: Nikola Vlasic, Pablo Fornals.
      MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
      66 – Telles and Lingard combine well on the left but Kral does well to break up the move again.
      West Ham fans are angry that Manuel Lanzini is down injured but the home team refuse to put the ball out.
      There was a coming together with Matic who looks to have stood on the Argentine’s ankle accidentally.
      Pablo Fornals is getting ready to come on.
