There has been a slight “end of empire” feel about Manchester City and Pep Guardiola this season but appearances can deceive. Without ever being quite at their very best the visitors did enough to ensure they headed back across the Pennines having silenced those who interpreted the sight of Guardiola sitting alone in the dug-out well before kick off, staring moodily at the empty stands, as confirmation of a manager in crisis.

Finnish striker scores twice, Emi Buendía nets third Jack Hunt gets consolation, Nakhi Wells misses penalty Teemu Pukki netted a first-half double to lead Norwich to a deserved 3-1 Championship victory over Bristol City at Ashton Gate. There were only six minutes on the clock when Pukki struck for the first time, timing his run perfectly on to a Marco Stiepermann through ball and coolly shooting past Dan Bentley from 10 yards. Eight minutes later it was 2-0, with Jacob Sorensen this time producing an accurate long ball forward and Pukki again controlling it before firing home with the aid of a deflection.

The former Preston, Brighton and Liverpool defender relates how Nobby Stiles moved him from the wing and put him on the path towards football glory. Interview by Barry Glendenning I wouldn’t have achieved anything in football without Nobby Stiles. As a kid trying to make his way at Preston, I wouldn’t even have got another contract, let alone moves to Brighton and then Liverpool. Without Nobby I would have disappeared and probably ended up playing lower-league football. I certainly wouldn’t have played in the top flight, let alone won a European Cup.

Hazard and Valverde complete scoring in 4-1 win Real Madrid move back to the summit of La Liga Karim Benzema scored twice as Real Madrid moved back to the top of the La Liga table with a 4-1 victory over Huesca. Eden Hazard and Benzema each netted just before the interval, and Federico Valverde made it 3-0 before David Ferreiro’s reply with just over 15 minutes to go. Benzema added his second late on as Zinedine Zidane’s men moved up from third to go two points clear at the top ahead of Real Sociedad, who face Celta Vigo on Sunday.

Robust Manchester United and England footballer who made a memorable contribution to England’s 1966 World Cup victory Of all the players who contributed to England’s World Cup victory in 1966, Nobby Stiles, who has died aged 78 after suffering from prostate cancer and dementia, was the most unlikely of heroes. But, with his socks round his ankles and his false front teeth left in the dressing room, he was a formidable opponent, a robust tackler and an implacable marker, as he showed in a memorable and crucial performance in the semi-final against Portugal, when he comprehensively – and fairly – squeezed the life out of the great Eusébio .

As befits a stranger to indecision, Marcelo Bielsa usually decides his Leeds lineups well in advance of games but the competitiveness, and versatility, within his squad dictates a rare dilemma before Leicester’s visit. “I don’t know my team, any of 22 players could start,” said the Leeds manager. It would be more major bombshell than mere surprise were the suddenly free-scoring Patrick Bamford to be omitted – particularly in the wake of his hat-trick as Bielsa’s team prevailed 3-0 at Aston Villa.

After gripping and ripping through their first four games, Aston Villa came up well short against Leeds despite having the upper hand in the first half. Dean Smith’s side created chances but failed to apply the finishing touch. A surprising development considering the hammering sent via Asgard that Liverpool received at Villa Park. Southampton are arguably an even tougher test than Leeds as Danny Ings will score if given the same room to attack in as Patrick Bamford and co. On the other side Jack Grealish will want to flash his considerable technical and creative abilities for Gareth Southgate’s perusal before England’s upcoming internationals. The quality in both sides easily makes this a contender for game of the weekend.

Rafael Benítez paid £12m to sign Jacob Murphy for Newcastle from Norwich in 2017 but he experienced a slow start to life on Tyneside. Indeed, following loan stints at West Brom and Sheffield Wednesday, Murphy was expected to be sold to a Championship club this summer but instead was a surprise inclusion in Steve Bruce’s Premier League squad. It looked an excellent call when an apparently reborn Murphy shone at right-back before scoring a late equaliser as Newcastle drew at Wolves last week. Bruce now says he does not dare drop him against Everton. Maybe Benítez’s judgment was right after all.

Manchester City forward with an ‘I refuse to sink’ tattoo was fast-tracked but not always memorable to teammates The usual routine here is for a former teammate to talk about how good Ferran Torres was, how he made an immediate impact and everyone knew that he was going to be a star from the very first day, especially him. How he came on for his debut and left everyone open-mouthed. Things, though, don’t always turn out as you expect. “I can’t even remember, to be honest,” says one member of the Mestalla side the day the 16-year-old played his first game with them in Spain’s third tier, a 2-0 defeat by Mallorca B in October 2016. He didn’t stand out, then? “Not with us he didn’t,” the player says, and then starts laughing. “Seemed a nice kid, quiet. Very good in training, I do remember that. To be fair, he wasn’t with us long.” Soon Torres was moving on: fast-tracked into Mestalla, Valencia’s B team, he was moved to the first team quickly too, long identified as the player in an aca

On Saturday against West Ham, Klopp’s team can equal a club record of 63 home league games unbeaten set from 1978-81 Jürgen Klopp has wished to avoid the subject of late – his reticence fuelled by a combination of a defensive injury crisis and a reluctance to tempt fate – but should Liverpool avoid defeat against West Ham on Saturday they will equal a club record of 63 league games unbeaten at Anfield.

Manchester City and United have found the right formula, Leicester are still looking for it, and Fulham need a win “Manchester United struggle against a low block” is a criticism trotted out so regularly that it is accepted as fact, but the reality is somewhat different. When any Premier League team defends deep and in numbers, scoring goals against them is difficult. Since signing Bruno Fernandes, United have played 33 games, winning 22, drawing seven and losing four, the defeats linked not by the opponents’ set-up but by United’s poor goalkeeping, defending, finishing and fitness. They look to have resolved those issues, and may also have found the best way of setting up. Though a 4-4-2 diamond means selecting only two of Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial – who is suspended for Sunday’s game – the formation makes the strikers extremely difficult to mark. A tight midfield four behind affords the defence greater protection and allows Ole Gunnar Solsk

Manager takes his resurgent team to Arsenal in the Europa League two months after arriving as an unknown and unpopular choice When the phone rang, Filippo Giovagnoli was enjoying an extended holiday in his home village. There had been a delay in renewing his US visa but otherwise there was little strain in spending August with family and friends around Apecchio, a tiny settlement in Le Marche.

It would be from Dundalk, who had just parted company with Vinny Perth and needed a head coach. Giovagnoli was, by most measures, not an obvious choice.
