DE GEA UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT AFTER ANOTHER BLUNDER Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sprung to the defence of his goalkeeper David De Gea, describing him as the "best goalkeeper in the world" despite his blunder in their 1-1 draw against Everton, but the numbers tell a different story. De Gea gifted Everton the lead in the third minute when he smashed his delayed clearance into the incoming Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the ball flew into the net -- drawing the ire of ex-United captain Roy Keane on Sky Sports who said he wanted the Spaniard "lynched".

Fulham are in top form going into this home league game against Bristol City. They are still five points behind the top two and a dip in form would leave them just chasing a play-off place rather than automatic promotion.

If City can claim the Champions League next month, it's a no-brainer. Matt Upson: Sadio Mane (2)For his consistency, his energy and his relentlessness, Mane gets my vote. He is constantly applying pressure to his opponent and he has produced pieces of real quality too.

The sum would be spread over the remaining five years of the £750m contract. This all adds to the uncertainty over what budget manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have this summer. If United fail to overhaul either Chelsea or Leicester for a top-four slot in the Premier League, they could still qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League.

Pulisic (Chelsea) C. Rarely in that barren period, or even in the glory years that preceded it, could they have produced a better first half as exquisite passing and deadly finishing brought two goals for Divock Origi and one each for Xherdan Shaqiri and Sadio Mane. Everton replied through Michael Keane and Richarlison before a much calmer second half that brought only a late goal for Georginio Wijnaldum.
Never again will we complain about the dull goalless draw. We may report it as such but it will no longer be a chore. And even VAR, the cause of so much consternation and comment, may be just be greeted like an old friend rather than a needless, inconvenient intruder on the old order.

We feel Klinsmann's first game in charge of Hertha is likely to be an entertaining one on the pitch, so we are backing over 3.5 goals to be netted.
