It was a thankless and exhausting task that came with a cruel twist as League One's bottom club looked set to make it to half-time unscathed. Rangers had an unfamiliar look as Gerrard fielded a host of fringe men. Few, though, will have convinced the manager they deserve more regular inclusion. Jordan Jones, Andy Halliday and goalkeeper Wes Foderingham were making their first start in months, while right-back Nathan Patterson impressed on his debut.

Reaction & as it happenedHosts frustrated as Southwood excelsThe recall of Morelos after he was left out of the Tynecastle defeat for a breach of discipline was designed to add sharpness to Rangers' attack. But for all their intent, they were lacking in composure in the opening 45 minutes. Ianis Hagi was denied by Luke Southwood early on and Florian Kamberi was also foiled by the visiting goalkeeper.

Harry Kane: Two superbly taken goals scored by Harry Kane looks like business as usual. The difference being that Spurs scored five goals and conceded none. Admittedly Burnley were poor and can't win a game home or away to save their lives.
Manchester United have made a good start to their first season in the Women's Super League. Away form needs improving but aside from a defeat by the defending champions, United have won three out of four with only one goal conceded. Everton are in fourth but have played more home games than away ones. Their wins on the road have come against sides in poor form and battling to stay in the league. Go for a home win in this game.
I think a lot of footballers were wondering, 'Is it something to do with money being involved in this?'. Why did we wait until Friday? Why did it take Mikel Arteta [Arsenal manager] to get ill for the game in England to do the right thing?" "After the emergency meeting, at last the right decision was made - until then it almost felt like footballers in England were being treated like guinea pigs.

The Reds will get 107 points if they continue their average of 2.
There were eight points separating the bottom six before the restartLike Norwich, Bournemouth have also failed to muster a point in their four games back. Indeed, the bottom six have managed a combined total of 14 points - with Brighton winning half that tally - from a possible 75, and three wins in 25 since the Premier League resumed. I can't see either Aston Villa or Bournemouth winning another game," former Villa and England striker Emile Heskey told BBC Radio 5 Live.
And I want to see that in my players, whether they are 17 or 35. That’s what I expect from them. If they keep trying, they have my full support. If they hide after that, I don't like it.

At the time of writing unpopular Portuguese manager Marco Silva was on the brink of losing his job at Everton following the Toffees' harrowing 5-2 battering at the hands of local rivals Liverpool at Anfield in mid-week.
United were ruthless in the final third as midfield playmaker Bruno Fernandes, who was highly impressive once again, netted via a deflection before the Portuguese volleyed in to finish a swift counter-attack. Brighton did pose some threat in the second half but David de Gea made a flying save to deny Aaron Connolly as Graham Potter's side remain in 15th place, six points above the relegation zone. Relive Manchester United's win over BrightonUnited taking shape under SolskjaerUnited will have looked enviously over at rivals Liverpool and the job Jurgen Klopp has done with the Reds after they ended their 30-year wait for a top-flight title by winning the Premier League for the first time - their previous titles coming back in the old First Division days.

Leipzig covered this high over bet with much of a fuss in their last 4 games in Germany starting with a 6-1 win at Wolfsburg in the cup, winning 8-0 at home with Mainz, winning 4-2 away at Hertha and 4-1 at home with Koln the last 3 in the league and they are right now just one point behind the top two teams in the league standings, they are really open type of team but defense is not as strong as in previous seasons as I watched them lose 3-1 at home to Schalke for example.
Others like Sean Dyche and Eddie Howe have been mentioned before and not ended up at the club. Former Brighton boss Chris Hughton is another from the solid rather than spectacular category. Former player Paolo di Canio is an erratic fans' favourite. Rafael Benitez is an interesting option though. Sullivan gets on with the former Liverpool boss and thought long and hard about trying to recruit him to replace Moyes but plumped for Pellegrini instead.
The Uruguay international, 21, chased down Morata as the striker raced towards goal late in extra time in the final of the revamped competition in Saudi Arabia and executed a two-footed lunge on him to halt the play.

Despite Monaco winning eight of their last nine home games, just one of these victories came against a team in the top five at the time of playing (Lille, 5-1). The one defeat in this time also came against a team in the top five (Lille, 0-3) so they haven't really proved themselves at home against top sides yet. PSG have won their last four trips to Monaco and we're backing them to do so again. We expect that Monaco will get on the scoresheet as they have done so in ten of their last eleven home matches but ultimately we see this one finishing 3-1 to the visitors. They rarely struggle in back-to-back matches and even though Monaco have a new lease of life, we see the champions getting the three points.
Aston Villa: Experience wantedAfter needing to sign "a lot of players with potential" last summer to build out the squad, Dean Smith will be looking to add some top-flight experience this time around to help lead a first team approaching the peak of their careers. Keeping star man Jack Grealish will obviously be the club's main challenge, with the midfielder regularly linked with a move to Manchester United.

I don't think the international break will slow us down," said Gladbach defender Oscar Wendt. But it is correct to say that before it we were in fine form and no one would have minded playing on.

Speaking in Mental Health Awareness Week, Bellamy explained how his career was the pinnacle of his depression.
