      Premier League shirts set to look very different next season after proposed Government ban

      But this could be coming to an end as politicians mull changes over gambling laws.
      New draft legislation is set to be published over the coming weeks.
      And while the government is not expected to ban gambling sponsors, the BBC reports that the Premier League could take action into their own hands.
      It is believed the division is set to agree to voluntarily remove better sponsors from the front of shirts.

      However top-flights clubs are said to have not yet voted on the measure.
      Betting companies are still expected to be allowed to advertise on other parts of the kit and in their stadium.
      The changes could have a knock-on effect for a number of clubs with eight top-flight teams sporting betting logos on the front of their shirts this season.
      Bournemouth, Brentford, Everton, Fulham, Leeds, Newcastle, Southampton and West Ham will all have a different front-of-shirt sponsor if the new ruling is passed.
      Most read in Football
      The EFL, which is sponsored by Sky Bet, is not expected to implement anything similar with the league previously claiming that any outright gambling ban would cost its 72 members £40m-a-year.

      The government have looked closer at the relationship between betting and football after campaigners argued that tighter regulation was needed to protect vulnerable groups.
      But the Betting and Gambling Council, which represents the industry, has previously said the “overwhelming majority” of people in the UK who bet do so safely and responsibly. More

      Tottenham vs Chelsea: Conte will look to follow Dortmund in doing a job on £107m Enzo Fernandez – Stream, TV channel

      by

      CHELSEA face a huge London derby this weekend as they take on Tottenham in a crucial game. The Blues are in torrid form, having won just one game in 2023, and they were beaten by 20th-place Southampton last weekend.

      Tottenham are coming off a win over West Ham but have been somewhat inconsistent this season as well.
      They currently sit in the Champions League places but will need Harry Kane to keep firing if they are to make a top spot their own.
      And matters for the North Londoners will not have been helped by the sickening online racial abuse that Son Heung-min was subjected to after their win over the Hammers.
      The visiting Blues spent more than all five of Europe’s top leagues combined in the January window and owner Todd Boehly will be expecting a significant return on his investment.

      But there are no signs yet of him losing patience with Graham Potter, despite a run of form that would have almost certainly seen the ex-Brighton boss sacked under the club’s previous ownership.
      At £107m, the Premier League’s record signing Enzo Fernandez will be expected to become a star man at Stamford Bridge.
      But Spurs will be well aware of how easily the World Cup winner was beaten by Karim Adeyemi for Dortmund’s goal in the Champions League last week.
      Former Blues boss Antonio Conte always ensures his teams are nothing if not physically strong and full of fitness.

      Meanwhile Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison are likely to retain their places as they look to upstage new Chelsea signing Mykhailo Mudryk on the wing.
      When is Tottenham vs Chelsea?

      The game will kick off at 1.30pm GMT.
      Tottenham vs Chelsea will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
