Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa): He’s become undroppable for Villa, excellent. He had a year last year where you thought maybe they needed to move on and get someone better, but this year he’s gone from strength to strength and has become a key component. Him and Boubacar Kamara, who was rested at the weekend, have built a massive presence of quality, tough tackling and reliability that Villa have built a

Portsmouth asserted some early pressure on Blackburn and were good value for their half-time lead.

The first big chance came through dangerman Murphy who beat his man down the left and whipped in a searching ball that was just poked behind by a defender with Colby Bishop waiting in the middle.

The Blues took the lead midway through the first half when Murphy picked up the ball on the left,

By Total Football News

Josh Murphy scored one goal and set up the other as Portsmouth beat QPR to continue their surge away from the relegation zone with a third straight win.

Murphy put Pompey in control just after half-time as he skipped inside to bend a curling finish beyond Paul Nardi.

Danny Murphy column: Keeping Mohamed Salah not Liverpool’s priority

By Total Football News

When you look at Liverpool’s season as a whole then of course, for obvious reasons, there will be some disappointment about how things have turned out.

But there are also more positives than you might think because they have won a trophy, the Carabao Cup and got back into the Champions League spots, which was not a given after their previous campaign. And there is more to come from this

It has been a tough couple of weeks for Liverpool but they are certainly not feeling sorry for themselves.

Instead, their performance against Fulham on Sunday said to me that they are still fighting like mad for the Premier League title.

Going into the game, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp had said he felt his side have been too easy to play against recently, so he will be very pleased with

MOTD2 analysis

They were 2-1 down at Old Trafford with less than 10 minutes to go, so Liverpool have to take some positives from Sunday’s draw with Manchester United.

After being so dominant – they had more control of that match at half-time than I’ve seen them have against anyone for a very long time – they could have felt sorry for themselves after falling behind.

Instead they showed fight and spirit,
