West Ham manager unhappy at playing three matches in a week Moyes says schedulers ‘do not understand what recovery means’ David Moyes hit out at the Premier League for making West Ham play three times in a week after Leeds United dented his weary side’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.

People tell of their struggles to cope, with energy bills set to soar by more than £700 this year.

Chelsea striker went all guns blazing in recent interview but came up short at the vital moment against Manchester City Come at the king, you’d best not miss. But Romelu Lukaku did, twice . First before half-time when, on the charge and with the ball on his stronger left foot, he opted, bafflingly, to try to lay in Hakim Ziyech, who was offside even if the pass had been accurate; and then in the second half when, laid through by Mateo Kovacic, he opened his body to try to curl an effort round Ederson, only to find that the keeper had read his barely disguised intentions and was diving to make a save that was far more comfortable than it ought to have been. And that’s the problem when you’ve recently given a television interview questioning the formation, especially when the team you’ve joined are European champions: it places scrutiny on your own performance that isn’t tremendously helpful. Little wonder that Thomas Tuchel was unwilling to spare his £97.5m striker afterwards. Was L

The Women’s Championship club appeared doomed before Christmas but support from fans and new owners have given them renewed hope for the future When the players of Coventry United were told training had been cancelled and they should join an online meeting with the club’s directors at 10am two days before Christmas, they had little idea about what was to follow. Sitting one place off the bottom on goal difference, the Championship side had been struggling, but why call this meeting now? The reality was far worse than anything they could have imagined. Also on the call were accountants from BK Plus, who had been instructed to assist the formal process of putting the club into voluntary liquidation.

Prolific forwards are away at the Africa Cup of Nations ‘Everybody is absolutely invited to score a goal,’ says Klopp Jürgen Klopp has urged Liverpool to summon the spirit of their glorious comeback against Barcelona to score goals in the absence of Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah, the Premier League’s top scorer.

West Ham regained fourth place by beating Norwich on Wednesday and will hope to continue their winning run when they host Leeds.

El Ghazi moved to Goodison Park on loan from Aston Villa Benítez: ‘He has the desire to do well for us’ Rafael Benítez has claimed he agreed to Anwar El Ghazi’s transfer from Aston Villa after being convinced of the winger’s desire to join Everton. The Everton manager wants to strengthen in central midfield but landed the winger on a five-month loan, with an option to buy, after he became “part of the deal with [Lucas] Digne when we started negotiations”. Benítez would not be drawn on whether the signing was imposed on him by Farhad Moshiri, or influenced by an agent close to the club’s majority shareholder, but insisted he was involved in deciding Everton’s third incoming player of the window.
