Frank Lampard has enjoyed so many giddy nights in this arena, whether they were spent hoisting the Premier League trophy as a key member of Chelsea’s most imposing ever team or establishing himself as the club’s all-time record goalscorer. Yet, as an opposition manager and even in narrow defeat, he will have purred at the performance delivered by his Derby County team in surroundings so familiar. The Championship side, conquerors of Manchester United in the previous round, provided a properly stern test of Chelsea’s undefeated team in a thrilling game and were denied parity – and the possibility of another penalty shootout – only when David Nugent’s late shot fizzed beyond Willy Caballero and rebounded back to the goalkeeper off the far post.

Arsenal got a scare from spirited Blackpool before creeping into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The hosts seemed at ease when Stephan Lichtsteiner and Emile Smith-Rowe put them two goals up, but Mattéo Guendouzi received a red card before Paudie O’Connor scored for the League One visitors. Arsenal, especially Petr Cech, endured jittery moments before O’Connor was sent off six minutes from time and Blackpool’s threat subsided. The abundant empty seats suggested many Arsenal regulars found better things to do on a chilly Halloween night than watch a seemingly predictable contest: Arsenal, even with an improvised side, would dispose of lower league hopefuls with minimum ado, right?

• English official replaced in post as head of refereeing • Clattenburg could be replaced by Pierluigi Collina Mark Clattenburg’s mission to “educate” referees in Saudi Arabia has ended after just 18 months, with the former Premier League official having been abruptly replaced from his £325,000-a-year post as head of refereeing. Clattenburg, who succeeded Howard Webb at the Saudi Arabian football federation, was appointed in February 2017 with the intention that he would help professionalise refereeing standards across the country’s domestic leagues. However, with concerns mounting that there had been a lack of progress among its officials, the Saudi FA has now confirmed that the 43-year-old has been replaced as chairman of the referees’ committee.

The 21-year-old made an immediate impact under his former boss Marco Silva, with three goals in his first two appearances for the Toffees, adding a fourth in a 2-1 win at Leicester earlier this month.

Rookie manager returns to Chelsea for a Carabao Cup tie and expects to be reunited with ‘40,000-plus friends’ “It will feel nice,” says Frank Lampard, chuckling a little sheepishly when asked about the inevitable moment when the Chelsea supporters sing his name on his Stamford Bridge homecoming. “I always appreciated it as a player. You work as a player to try to please the fans. They pay the money to come and watch you – they are the club. To be getting that support after, when you are working for an opposing team, yeah … it will be nice.” The corresponding “Super Frankie Lampard” banner will doubtless be draped across the Matthew Harding Stand, opposite the Shed End, on Wednesday evening. As Lampard puts it, going back to Chelsea with Derby – in only his 19th competitive match as a manager – is a big deal.

The England Under-21 players are on season-long loans working under Frank Lampard at the Championship side and Chelsea have taken the unusual decision to allow them to play in Wednesday’s tie at Stamford Bridge. Mount, who is hopeful of overcoming a foot injury, has scored five times and earned a call‑up to the England squad , while Tomori has established himself in Lampard’s defence.

Nigel Clough has brewed up another heady upset, guiding Burton to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals at the expense of the club he and his father helped to worldwide fame. It was no fluke. This was a deserved triumph for Burton, secured thanks to an own goal by Saidy Janko and excellent efforts by Scott Fraser and Jake Hesketh. Replies for Forest by Lewis Grabban and Arvin Appiah could not save the Championship side. Burton had never reached the last 16 of the competition before while Forest were aiming to progress to the last eight for the first time in nearly 25 years – before which they lifted the trophy four times, all under the management of Brian Clough and twice with Nigel in the team. To advance Forest would have to score at the Pirelli Stadium, which they had failed to do on their two previous visits.

If you can make a name for yourself there you will find little need to look anywhere else, and that is certainly true of David Meek, the long-serving Manchester Evening News reporter who has died at the age of 88. Put simply, none of the present generation of sportswriters on the Manchester scene will be able to remember a time when Meek was not part of the Old Trafford furniture. A stirring writer yet gentle and courteous man, Meeky had been covering United for 28 years before Sir Alex Ferguson arrived, and spent the next 26 seasons ghosting the programme notes of the club’s most successful ever manager. That represents over half a century of service, almost unheard of in modern football, and though Meek’s association with the Evening

London has hosted NFL games since 2007 Many believe UK capital will eventually have its own team The NFL says it will play four regular-season games in London next year, two at Wembley and two at the new stadium being built for Tottenham Hotspur. The NFL did not say which teams would be making the trip, or when the games will be played.  The league played three games in London this year in three straight weeks. All three games were at Wembley, and drew an average crowd of 85,031. One game had been scheduled for Tottenham but it was moved because the stadium is not ready. Spurs played Manchester City at Wembley on Monday night, one day after the Jacksonville Jaguars had played the Philadelphia Eagles, and there were concerns about the state of the pitch afterwards . However, it would not be an expected problem at the new Tottenham stadium, which will be equipped with two playing surfaces, one for Spurs and one for NFL games .

Athletic Bilbao are almost entirely reliant on their academy for players yet they have never been relegated from La Liga By Alex Clapham for Caño Football of the Sport Network The sleepy town of Lezama sits 10km outside of Bilbao and is home to just 2,400 people, but it also accommodates one of the most unusual football clubs in the world: Athletic Bilbao. Just 14 years after being founded, Athletic were accused of fielding ineligible foreign players in the 1911 Copa del Rey, so decided they would only ever pick players who were born in the Basque Country or “formed locally”. More than a century later, that policy remains in place and they are still one of three clubs who have never been relegated from the top tier of Spanish football, alongside Barcelona and Real Madrid. The club’s reliance on local talent starts at their training ground in Lezama , which was opened in 1971 and now hosts the first team, the women’s teams and their various academy sides.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has been in negotiations over fresh terms for some time and he has now followed the manager, Mauricio Pochettino, and a clutch of players, chief among them Harry Kane, in making a major commitment. Pochettino, who is being linked to Real Madrid, agreed a five-year extension last May and the club shattered their wage structure with Kane’s six-year £200,000-a-week deal in June. Érik Lamela, Son Heung-min and Davinson Sánchez also signed new contracts over the summer and the club hope that Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen will soon follow suit.

The Championship side are out to cause an upset at Bournemouth in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie and their young German manager has them on an impressive run When asked about Bournemouth’s Carabao Cup opponents, Eddie Howe described Norwich as “one of the form teams in the country”. It sounded like flattery, of the kind that might lull the opposition and gee up his troops. But Howe elaborated: “Their strength this season has been with their team. They have an attacking philosophy and they have momentum, so we have to be very careful. They’re a dangerous team.” Howe has become one of the most admired managers in the country in part through his attention to detail, so perhaps it is not surprising to find him familiar with Daniel Farke’s side. He will also remember Norwich as one of the teams who accompanied his side into the Premier League in 2015. At the same time he is right; there is something going on in East Anglia.

The pitch looked terrible and the match was patchy but the Manchester City forward showed what a top performer he is Raheem Sterling spent a fair amount of his childhood dodging potholes and wrong‑footing passers-by as he kicked a ball around Wembley. So no real change there then, on a strange night when Manchester City eked out a brittle, angsty 1-0 win against a brittle, angsty Tottenham team in front of a brittle, angsty Tottenham crowd. It is hard to think of many stranger Premier League fixtures than this; albeit this 1-0 victory for the champions was strange in an understated, slightly dreamy kind of way. For most of the first half it was almost impossible to look past the wretched spectacle of the Wembley pitch , heavily scarred by the markings of the NFL game on Sunday night and appearing here like a jilted bride in its faded Super Bowl suit, still mourning that scuppered elopement with the man from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
