The launch of the new 26-30 railcard has been delayed slightly, meaning some millennials will miss out.

José Mourinho said earlier this week he would always prefer to play at Old Trafford, but he might think twice if offered a change of venue on Saturday. Southampton have not won at home since April and slipped into the relegation zone after defeat at Fulham, while their only win over Manchester United at St Mary’s came back in 2003. Alexis Sánchez is likely to be out until the New Year with a hamstring injury, so Romelu Lukaku may get a chance to end his goal drought. Lukaku has gone 12 games without a goal, but has six in nine appearances against Southampton. For the hosts, top scorer Danny Ings is set to miss out, while Ryan Bertrand is also a doubt with a back injury.

Perennial winners Nigeria face a challenge to their dominance from Desiree Ellis’s vibrant young South Africa side in Saturday’s final in Ghana “Last time we cried and really I don’t want us to do that again,” Cameroon’s assistant manager Bernadette Anong said before her team’s 2018 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against Nigeria. Anong was referring to the 2004 final where she led her team as captain to a 5-0 defeat against the same opponents. Yet Cameroon came unstuck once again against their perennial foes, losing 4-2 on penalties to Nigeria’s Super Falcons on Tuesday. The margin of defeat may be tighter 14 years on but the tears flowed nonetheless in Ghana, where this year’s competition is being held. To say Nigeria have dominated this competition would be an understatement; they have won it eight out of 10 times. And on Saturday they have a chance to tighten their grip on African women’s football when they face South Africa in the final. Both teams are now guaranteed pl

Silva is the fourth Everton manager Klopp has faced in three years in England and his opponent’s attacking philosophy, combined with having the right players to implement it, promises a different approach in the 100th league derby at Anfield.

Crystal Palace emerged from a daunting run of fixtures relatively chuffed by the points gained against Arsenal and Manchester United, though it has been their inability to dismiss the teams around them that has left them mired a point off the bottom and without a league victory since mid-September. This will be a seventh attempt to secure a first home win this season, a dreadful record which sees them only marginally better off than this time last year, with Burnley, winless in six themselves, only below them on goal difference.

Had the extension clause in his contract not been triggered De Gea would have been free to talk to other clubs in the January transfer window and possibly sign a pre-contract agreement.

Youngsters today are not as ready for first-team action as they used to be. However José Mourinho should treat those who do break through, such as Marcus Rashford, with more respect There’s been a lot of debate this week about the difference between young players today compared to 10 years ago after José Mourinho referred to them as “ spoiled kids” . It’s interesting because I do think things have changed significantly in terms of their level of readiness. Young players have always found it hard to break into the first team but those who did in the past such as Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen were much more ready to make that step than those who are coming through now. You don’t see many 18-year-olds doing the same these days – Marcus Rashford was probably the last one to do so at a big Premier League club.

The UK's £2bn funeral sector now faces a major investigation by competition authorities as costs rise.

David de Gea, Thibaut Courtois, Marc-André ter Stegen and Manuel Neuer have all been unusually inconsistent this season By Martin Laurence for WhoScored The weekend threw up another series of shock results around Europe. Real Madrid suffered a humiliating defeat, losing 3-0 at Eibar ; Bayern Munich could only manage a 3-3 draw against Fortuna Dusseldorf , the bottom team in the Bundesliga; and Manchester United were also held at home against Crystal Palace. José Mourinho’s team are now a point closer to Fulham at bottom of the table than Manchester City at the top. The one upside for United was that David de Gea kept his first clean sheet in nine league matches.

The Brazilian scored PSG’s winner in perhaps his most effective high-profile performance since leaving Barcelona With Neymar the questions have always been along the same kind of lines. How far? How good? To what height can the broad wings of his own attacking talent carry him? At a slightly wild Parc des Princes, Liverpool lost an exciting, slightly fractious Champions League game 2-1 , menaced throughout by a star striker intent on posing two very different sets of questions. For the opening 40 minutes, Liverpool felt the force of what was surely Neymar’s most effective high-profile performance since his Barcelona days. This was followed by the beta version: a second half of circus play and indulgence on the ball, with Neymar tumbling to the turf like a tiny little Victorian fairy sprite lashed with a blow from the under-gardener’s rake; and beyond that the full range of attacking ego-ball.

Spurs’ special brand of nerveless resolve was on glorious display in the win over Internazionale – Alli represents its zenith When we talk about nerves, we often ascribe them the qualities of metal. They’re made of steel, obviously, and when things are not going so well they start to jangle, like a set of keys or a piece of taut piano wire. But what if real emotional resilience was less like metal and more like, say, pastry? What if the key to surviving pressure was actually to stay malleable, supple, even a bit soft? Spurs were within 10 minutes of flunking out of Europe here and might well do so for real when they head to Camp Nou in two weeks’ time. But thanks to Christian Eriksen’s beautiful goal – delivered by Moussa Sissoko, finessed by Dele Alli and slammed home by the Dane – Spurs are still alive in the Champions League . And in winning this game they showed nerves of pastry throughout. Continue reading... from Football | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/football/20

The finale may be how Liverpool like it – an all-or-nothing, death or glory Champions League decider at Anfield – but not how they want it. Jürgen Klopp’s team succumbed to a third consecutive away defeat in Group C as Paris Saint-Germain turned on the style to revive their prospects of joining the European elite in the knockout phase. Inspired by the infuriating but at times unplayable Neymar, the French champions delivered a deeply impressive performance before losing their way when James Milner halved a lead gleaned from goals by Juan Bernat and the world’s most expensive footballer. Liverpool pressed for a second-half equaliser but in vain. Defeated in all three away games for the first time in the Champions League group stage, Klopp’s team must now defeat Napoli by a two-goal margin on 11 December to preserve their interest in the competition they cherish. It is not beyond Liverpool by any means, as Carlo Ancelotti knows only too well, but a vastly improved European display will
