Premier league

After a chaotic spell in the Premier League, Tottenham turn their attention to the Champions League...

One thing that Neville has not taken into consideration is Real Madrid’s injury situation. Lucas Vazquez and Fede Valverde have joined Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal on the treatment table, while Raphael Varane will be missing due to the virus.

Under normal circumstances, the home advantage would likely have been enough to see them over the line, despite their weakened defence, but with the game being played behind closed doors, it does look like a long shot.

The 25-year-old is also thought to be the subject of interest from Arsenal, but the Gunners have been dealt a blow in their pursuit following his European admission.

Digne has recorded six assists in 16 league games this season, one short of his total in 35 matches from 2019-20, while he claimed four goals and four assists in his debut 2018-19 Premier League campaign.

With Coman having two years remaining on his current deal at the Allianz Arena, the Bundesliga club have a dilemma about what to do with the 24-year-old.

The 20-year-old was at the heart of all the Reds’ best attacking moves and it was his parried shot which produced the early breakthrough goal from Mohamed Salah.

To be honest, most Liverpool supporters won’t be interested in the outcome of the final, with there being very little love lost between the Reds and the two opponents.

It’s a bold prediction from Carragher considering Liverpool’s rather difficult season. Their injury record will need to improve hugely, while Virgil van Dijk will have to be back to his very best.

City may be disappointed that they didn’t get more names put up for nomination but after only winning the Carabao Cup last season, it is not a complete surprise.
