Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta may have been the man with the inside track on Manchester City after those years of success standing behind Pep Guardiola in the technical area - but some of his former club's deficiencies are obvious to everyone.

But Tim Stillman, a local reporter covering Arsenal Women, says "England haven't given Nobbs prominence" in midfield and do not allow her the fluidity she enjoys at club level. I don't think we've seen the Arsenal Jordan for England as often as we ought to have," Stillman told BBC Sport. It's how she judges and sets the tempo of a game - everything she does is quick but never rushed and she always tries to go forward and break the lines.
The former Chelsea manager took over at Inter last year and has led a robust challenge to end Juve’s eight-year stranglehold on the Italian league title and earn the Milanese club their first Scudetto in 10 years.

Craig didn't even make the squad. He was a big, big miss. But I remember going to bed the night before thinking that the next day we could be champions. Celtic and Aberdeen were the favourites.

Clubs would get creative, masking the empty seats with banners or fake cardboard "fans" and giving a select few a front-row seat via a video call on the big screen, as would the TV companies, piping artificial crowd noise onto games to provide the illusion of an atmosphere. It has been tougher on some fans than others - Liverpool and Leeds fans, for example, have missed out on long-awaited moments of glory, while Northampton and Wycombe supporters had to watch their team's respective play-off victories at Wembley from afar.

But with vast oil and, therefore, wealth reserves, some have accused the teams of unfairness, with former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger going so far as to label it "financial doping". European governing body Uefa has tried to curb spending by applying financial fair play rules and in some senses that has succeeded.

Ings: Watching Ralph Hasenhuttl jumping for joy was the giveaway. Southampton haven't had a 20-goal striker in their ranks since 2012. Danny Ings was surrounded by Watford defenders when he got his first goal and took complete advantage of a Ben Foster mistake when he got his second.
