Paul Heckingbottom's days in the Sheffield United hot seat did look to be numbered, with the 5-0 loss away at Vincent Kompany's Burnley this weekend – a Premier League relegation rival no less – judged to be the final straw for the Bramall Lane hierarchy.

Not yet officially confirmed, but rumours circulating on social media from many different media outlets point in the direction that the hapless Heckingbottom will be put out of his misery finally after a disastrous start to top-flight life as manager of the Blades – Sheffield United rooted to the foot of the table with only five points secured, conceding an embarrassing 39 goals from just 14 games played.

Former Blades icon in the dug-out Chris Wilder looks set to be Heckingbottom's immediate replacement, as per reports, the 56-year-old departing United in 2021 after completely revitalising the club during his tenure.

He successfully steered the Blades all the way up to the Premier League after the club found themselves marooned in League One, securing an unprecedented ninth placed finish too for the Blades when managing his hometown club in the top flight.

Wilder will hope his anticipated return to the Blades dug-out can re-energise this current group, breathing life back into proceedings after a dismal few months.

Here are three players that Wilder could turn to in order to provoke a revival at the club.

1

John Fleck

Fleck was a midfield maestro under Wilder during his first reign as Blades boss, an integral player centrally.

The Scottish midfielder was pivotal throughout Wilder's near five years at the club, Fleck amassing 44 assists over the five seasons the 56-year-old was present in the dug-out.

The 32-year-old would even score five times during the 2019/20 campaign that saw United play in the Premier League, Fleck adored by the Bramall Lane masses and his boss.

Fleck will be raring to go again upon hearing the news that Wilder is set to return as manager, the diminutive Blades presence barely featuring under Heckingbottom this campaign so far with just one start.

United's number four will no doubt start more games – after being frozen out – if Wilder does come back to the club, Fleck certainly benefitting from this potential managerial switch.

2

Oli McBurnie

McBurnie will also hope he can kickstart his faltering Blades career again under Wilder's management, alongside his fellow compatriot in Fleck.

United's number nine was a reliable goalscorer under Wilder in the top flight during the 2019/20 campaign, scoring six goals from 36 appearances with two of those strikes coming in huge home victories over Chelsea and Tottenham.

The incoming Blades boss will need to put his arm around McBurnie and remind him of this goalscoring prowess, the Scottish forward frustrated and angry in recent matches which was abundantly clear in his quick double booking against Burnley with two unnecessary elbows.

The 27-year-old will want his football to do the talking again away from this petulance, hoping that Wilder can get him firing if he does come in.

3

Auston Trusty

Former Arsenal man Trusty was the only defender from the 5-0 Clarets defeat that could leave Turf Moor with his head held high somewhat, the American centre-back still winning six of his nine duels in the one-sided affair.

Trusty could well be a centre-back Wilder is a fan of, the 56-year-old is always keen to have a full-throttle option at the back who can push his team forward.

The 25-year-old had a really successful loan switch to Birmingham City last campaign before joining United – scoring four times and assisting three goals from defence – and so Wilder will want to make Trusty his main man in a leaky backline.

With 0.56 progressive passes received per 90 minutes over the last year on top of 2.50 tackles registered – as sourced by FBRef – for the Blues and the Blades, Wilder will want to harness Trusty's attacking qualities further whilst hoping he's a rock-solid figure who can begin to shore up a pitiful defence at Bramall Lane.

Newcastle United are likely to hold talks to appoint a managerial “legend” at the end of the season, according to a reliable journalist.

Newcastle's season so far

After finishing fourth last season in the Premier League, the black and white stripes secured a place in this year’s Champions League, which was no doubt a fantastic achievement for everyone associated with the club. However, it’s fair to say that things didn’t turn out as they would have hoped.

The Magpies ended up finishing at the bottom of their group below Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Milan, meaning that not only did they fail to progress to the next stage of that particular competition, they also missed out on dropping into the Europa League.

This comes amid an indifferent league campaign to date, with the Magpies outside the European places entirely heading into this weekend's round of fixtures, with just 9 wins in 19 matches.

Should PIF decide to relieve Eddie Howe of his duties in the near future given their inconsistent form, they appear to have set their sights on a possible replacement in the form of AS Roma’s Jose Mourinho, who has plenty of experience in the English top flight having previously managed Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur (Transfermarkt – Mourinho statistics).

The Portuguese’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, meaning that he will be a free agent on the market should he not sign an extension, and if that does turn out to be the case, the 60-year-old could find himself on the radar of the hierarchy at St James’ Park.

Newcastle linked with Mourinho

Speaking to GiveMeSport, reporter Dean Jones suggested that Newcastle probably do like Mourinho and claimed that they are expected to evaluate the position of Howe upon the conclusion of the campaign.

He said: "At some point, they will get a bit trigger-happy and they will decide to make a change. You're already seeing Jose Mourinho being linked with Newcastle. Those things don't happen by luck. There'll be stories there, there will be conversations had, even if they're very low-key conversations, just try starting to sound out who they could get if they didn't have Eddie Howe.

"I think at the back end of the season, they'll get towards a big decision. Because if Newcastle aren't in the Champions League places in the league, they're already out of Europe, if they don't win a cup, they will be thinking, well, has he taken us as far as he can go? How do we now take this club quickly to being a proper Champions League-level side?"

AS Roma's record under Mourinho

During his time at AS Roma, Mourinho has 67 wins, 29 draws and 37 losses under his belt from 133 games, where he is currently averaging 1.73 points per match, taking 230 out of a possible 399 following his arrival back in 2021.

The Setubal-born coach is a veteran in the dugout and more than knows what it takes to compete and be successful at the very highest level, having secured 31 trophies since the start of his managerial career, including the Premier League and Champions League on multiple occasions.

As described by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, Mourinho is a “legend” for what he has been able to achieve at the helm, so while he might be a slightly older profile than the hierarchy would be open to considering, there’s no doubt that he could be an exciting appointment for Newcastle.

England coach declares Jonny Bairstow No.3 experiment is ‘over’

George Dobell13-Feb-2019England’s top-order struggles could make it very difficult for Ben Foakes to win a Test recall, Trevor Bayliss believes.While England have attempted, at various times, to mould Joe Root, Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow into a Test No. 3, the team management have now accepted that all of them belong in the middle-order. As a result, there seems to be no room for Foakes who made a Test century in Galle in November and was later named man of the series.So, while England’s hunt for a settled top three continues, Bayliss said they had decided not to weaken a strength and to stick with their middle-order – from No. 4 to No. 8 – and not try to adapt them. That means their Ashes line-up – injuries notwithstanding – is likely to see Root at No. 4, Jos Buttler at No. 5, Ben Stokes at No. 6, Bairstow at No. 7 and keeping wicket and Moeen at No. 8.”We’ve known for a while what our best four to eight is,” he said. “But we make no apologies for trying to fit our best eight batters into a team. That meant trying to find a No. 3 out of those guys. Obviously it hasn’t worked for one or two reasons but four through to eight has been successful in the past and we’ve gone back to that.”Yes, that means the experiment of batting Jonny at No. 3 is over. And yes, that is unfortunately bad news for Foakes.”While Bayliss believed Foakes could force his way into consideration as a specialist batsman – by the time the last Ashes series ended in Australia, Foakes was considered first batting reserve, ahead of Gary Ballance – he would also keep pressure upon Bairstow for the gloves. For now, though, it seems it has been decided there is no place in the side for both of them.”Foakes is obviously a very good keeper,” Bayliss said, “but I think we’ve also discovered someone who can put pressure on that middle order from a batting point of view.”Although Bayliss accepted the struggles of England’s top three were “well documented” he insisted all of them retained a decent chance of playing in the Ashes. Not only are they “the incumbents”, in Bayliss’ words, but it would require county batsmen to score heavily to displace them.”The struggles of the top three is well documented,” he said. “They’ve all shown what they can do but it’s about doing it more regularly. Those three guys are incumbents in those positions, I suppose. If they come out and score as heavily as they have done in the last few years in county cricket, then it might be difficult to look past them.”That definitely includes [Keaton] Jennings. He’s made two Test hundreds and has been one of the heaviest scorers in county cricket. If he comes out and scores a lot of runs in the early matches of the season and no-one else does, then there might not be a decision to make.”We’ve seen what he’s capable of but at the moment he’s lacking some confidence. It’s not easy when everyone is talking about your position and he’s coming to terms with that as well.”Hopefully there are some names out there who can score heavily in the county season to give us a choice to make.”Among those names could be Jason Roy, though he will be in IPL and World Cup action for much of the time, as well as Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and James Vince. The chances of a recall for Ian Bell seem more remote.Jason Roy shapes for the slog sweep•Getty Images”Roy could be a Test player, yes,” Bayliss said. “He’s one of the names that’s been spoken about [by the selectors] over the last six to nine months. James Vince is another one. Ian Bell not as many times.”There’s a couple of names who’ve done well in county cricket over a number of years that have been spoken about. If those two guys come out and score runs they’ll be in the mix as well.”The younger guys, too, are starting to put their names up in lights. There were a couple on the Lions tour: Pope, who’s obviously played before, and Duckett have done well.”With county cricket failing to produce the top-order batsmen required for the Test game, Bayliss also became the latest to question the domestic schedule. He suggested it may make sense to start the Championship season a little later.”In early season it is very difficult to produce flatter wickets,” he said. “So it’s not easy for batsmen.”It doesn’t necessarily help the good fast bowlers or the spinners playing on softer, greener wickets, either.”Maybe you should play some one-day games in the first few weeks of the season just to put the start of the four-day competition back. One day wickets are normally flat and they use a kookaburra ball in that format.”England took the day off on Wednesday. The limited-overs squad fly to Barbados on Thursday, while most of the Test squad will go home.

Dhaka Dynamites produced an emphatic performance to sneak into the playoffs on the last day of the league stage

The Report by Peter Della Penna02-Feb-2019

Upul Tharanga plays a shot•AFP

How the game played outControlling their playoff destiny heading into the final match of the regular season, Dhaka Dynamites produced a nerveless and dominant performance to dispose of Khulna Titans – the worst team in BPL 2019 – by six wickets with 31 balls to spare. Rajshahi Kings needed a miracle from the Titans to ensure the Dynamites would not steal the final playoff berth available but Titans did them no such favors.On a good batting pitch, Titans stuttered through the Powerplay to get behind the eight-ball before the middle order shot themselves in the foot with overambitious shot selection in an effort to compensate for the slow start. At 81 for 6 in the 14th, the Titans tail scrapped their way to 123 as David Wiese grinded out a top score of 30 off 27 balls.But the paltry total was never going to be enough and Dynamites soon made a mockery of the chase, more than doubling what Titans had produced in the Powerplay to reach 71 for 2 after six thanks to openers Sunil Narine and Upul Tharanga. Having entered the match with a sizable net run rate advantage over Kings, singles were all that was needed to clinch a playoff berth and Kieron Pollard played a sedate innings alongside Nurul Hasan in a 36-run stand to take Dynamites over the line and into the playoffs.Turning points Brendan Taylor made a confident start with 18 off 14 balls before missing a sweep to fall lbw to Shakib in the fourth over to spark the initial top-order slide Al-Amin tried to play a reverse hit against Sunil Narine in the 13th but only managed to pull a full toss to point. Nasir Hossain fell in similarly audacious fashion in the next over to Shakib, walking way too far across his stumps to be bowled behind his legs to make it 81 for 6 Narine slaughtered Titans bowlers in the Powerplay, in particular against Saddam Hossain in the third over by pulling a no-ball for four first ball, then slamming the free hit over midwicket for six, before another six over cover two balls laterStar of the dayNarine produced another splendid all-round effort. After taking a solid 1 for 20 with the ball, he crushed the Titans opening the chase. Narine faced 13 of the first 16 balls. By the time he was out, the score was already at 43 and he had singlehandedly equaled the Titans Powerplay total of 35 after a ruthless assault on Subashis Roy, Junaid Khan and Saddam that mercifully ended when he drove Saddam to cover.The big missAndre Russell showed his deft agility to avoid major injury at the long-on boundary. In the 17th over of the first innings, Taijul Islam drove Narine for four down the ground. Russell tried in vain to cut the ball off before the rope, but his dead sprint took him in the path of one of the TV broadcast cameramen. He swerved left at the last moment before hurdling an advertising board to avoid a freak injury that might have curtailed his participation in the playoff phase.Where the teams standKhulna had sealed the wooden spoon several matches earlier but end the season in last place with just four points, six behind Sylhet Sixers. Dynamites win allowed them to move up to fourth place on 12 points to leapfrog Rajshahi Kings on net run rate into the first playoff eliminator against Chittagong Vikings.

Arsenal have received a massive boost with the news that a "special" player has overcome an injury issue, according to a key fitness update from journalist Tom Canton.

Arsenal injury updates

The Gunners have had to make do without some important players already this season, even though their impressive squad depth still leaves them second in the Premier League table currently. Jurrien Timber's ACL injury has been one of the biggest setbacks for Arsenal in recent months, with the former Ajax man picking up the serious issue on his league debut for the club back in August.

He hasn't been the only absentee of late, however, with Emile Smith Rowe's woes continuing, as he finds it difficult to remain available for consistent periods of time. Takehiro Tomiyasu's calf injury is also a blow for Mikel Arteta, with the Japan international such a versatile performer across the defence, and Thomas Partey has been absent for some time.

Timber and Tomiyasu are not expected to return until the new year, while Partey could feature after the Liverpool match (Injury Return Dates). However, some positive fitness news has now emerged for the Gunners, in an update that will likely delight many supporters.

Arsenal handed Emile Smith Rowe boost

Taking to X on Monday, Canton confirmed that Smith Rowe is back in training with his Arsenal teammates, having returned to full fitness after injury.

"Emile Smith Rowe is HERE and training with Arsenal at London Colney. The England international has recovered from the knee problem that kept him out for some weeks. Whether he travels today is yet to be decided and depends on the session."

This is fantastic news, both for Arsenal and Smith Rowe himself, with the Englishman such a talented footballer who is capable of providing depth out wide and in central attacking midifeld roles. The 23-year-old can help ease the workload on Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard, with Jamie Carragher lauding him in the past, saying:

"He's so exciting, the pace, moving with the ball. He's a special talent. He can pop up in different positions, he has that ability to play all four positions up top and that's a real bonus."

While Smith Rowe would struggle to find a way into Arsenal's strongest possible starting lineup at the moment, he is someone who could be such a valuable weapon off the substitutes' bench, with his tally of 18 goals and 12 assists in 102 appearances for the Gunners a solid return.

In his 106 minutes of Premier League action, he has still managed to chip in with one assist, teeing up Eddie Nketiah in the 5-0 win at home to Sheffield United back in October.

Smith Rowe may take some time to fully get back into rhythm, but if he can avoid another injury setback and remain fit for the next several months, could be a gem in Arsenal's title challenge.

India women have made just one change to their ODI squad that will face England at home later this month by calling back wicketkeeper R Kalpana in place of batting allrounder D Hemalatha. Kalpana last represented India three years ago, in a home ODI against Sri Lanka, and will be the second wicketkeeper in the 15-member squad, apart from Taniya Bhatia.On the recent tour of New Zealand, India women won the ODI series 2-1, but Hemalatha scored just 13 runs in one innings and went wicketless in seven overs across the three matches. In the T20Is, she scored only five runs in two games, including 2* in the second T20I on Friday.

Fixtures

• Warm-up game: BPXI v England – Feb 18, Mumbai

• 1st ODI: India v England – Feb 22, Mumbai

• 2nd ODI: India v England – Feb 25, Mumbai

• 3rd ODI: India v England – Feb 28, Mumbai

Kalpana made her ODI debut at home against New Zealand in 2015 but after playing seven ODIs until February 2016, she lost her place to Sushma Verma and Bhatia. In those seven matches, Kalpana scored only four runs in three innings and collected four catches and a stumping. More recently, she played two warm-up T20s against England before the tri-series that also involved Australia, but scored only nine runs in the two attempts.Along with the squad for the three ODIs, the BCCI also announced the Board President’s XI squad that will play England in a warm-up game on February 18 in Mumbai. In-form opener Smriti Mandhana will captain that side, and Kalpana was the only other ODI-squad member also in the BP squad of 13. Veda Krishnamurthy, who was dropped for both formats for the New Zealand tour, and Devika Vaidya were included in the BP XI squad. Neither Krishnamurthy nor Vaidya has been selected for India since their semi-final exit at the Women’s World T20 in the West Indies last year.All the India-England ODIs will be played at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, commencing four days after the warm-up game. They will be held on February 22, 25 and 28, with the points counted for the ongoing ICC Women’s Championship.ODI squad: Mithali Raj (capt), Jhulan Goswami, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, Taniya Bhatia (wk), R Kalpana (wk), Mona Meshram, Ekta Bisht, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Poonam Yadav, Shikha Pandey, Mansi Joshi, Punam RautBoard President’s XI squad: Smriti Mandhana (capt), Veda Krishnamurthy, Devika Vaidya, S Meghana, Bharati Fulmali, Komal Zanzad, R Kalpana, Priya Punia, Harleen Deol, Reemalaxmi Ekka, Manali Dakshini, Minnu Mani, Tanuja Kanwar

Sunday's Premier League match against Manchester United did not produce the kind of blistering offensive performance that Liverpool supporters have become accustomed to under Jurgen Klopp's illustrious rule, but they returned to their free-scoring best in midweek.

Dispatching an abject West Ham United side 5-1 in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool have reaffirmed their credentials as one of Europe's most devastating units, coming at the perfect time with a third successive Anfield clash against Arsenal in the league just around the corner.

Mikel Arteta's first-placed side are just one point ahead of the Reds, but the effort against the Hammers really underscores the quality of Klopp's squad, with Curtis Jones crowned Man of the Match after a stunning midfield display.

Curtis Jones' game vs West Ham by numbers

The Athletic's James Pearce praised Jones for his "flying start" to the campaign, but a controversial red card against Tottenham Hotspur in September, followed by disruption due to injuries, has stifled his progress.

Nonetheless, the Scouse-born star has been in fine fettle of late and perhaps produced his standout performance last night, bagging two goals to stretch his club's grip on the cup tie.

As per Sofascore, the 22-year-old complemented his strikes with a 93% passing accuracy, two key passes, success with both of his dribbles and 89 total touches – only the impressive Jarell Quansah had more.

As remarked by BBC's Raj Chohan, the goals might have been nice but Jones' ball retention and control in the engine room was simply "phenomenal", and he is proving to be one of the most underrated players on English shores.

Ranking among the top 2% of midfielders across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for pass completion, as per FBref, he is vital to the system.

Perhaps not as important as Darwin Nunez though, with the Uruguayan dynamo seemingly reborn on the left wing last night…

Darwin Nunez's performance vs West Ham

There were goals galore against West Ham but forward Nunez's goalless run extended to 11 matches, but few of a Liverpool persuasion will care too much as the 24-year-old proved his worth with an energetic and influential showing out of position.

He's something of an enigma, this wonderful, perplexing, brilliant, bouncing ball of destructive energy; while Nunez has been criticised for wayward finishing throughout his Anfield career, the commitment and electricity of his craft continue to win the Anfield faithful over. Time and time again.

Jones might have bagged his first goal with a deft, rolling effort from an acute angle, but it was the £140k-per-week star's "superb” defence-splitting pass – as hailed by Neil Jones – to set the midfielder into space.

And his failure to find the back of the net was not for want of trying, hitting the woodwork with a curling attempt, expertly fingered onto the post by Alphonso Areola, while also completing 84% of his passes, creating four key passes, making five tackles and winning eight duels, evidencing his commendable application.

The goals will come, and even if Nunez never manages to reach the kind of prolific heights of the likes of Mohamed Salah, who was on the scoresheet once again off the bench, he is a remarkable, singular tool with a disposition for havoc-wreaking moments and chaos-igniting surges that could prove the difference in this chase for silver-laden success at Anfield.

  WHAT NEXT FOR GRIEZMANN?

  If Griezmann does move to MLS this summer, it's unlikely to happen before the European Championship, taking place in Germany from mid-June to mid-July. France are among the favourites to win the competition, so the Atletico star will have his eyes on the prize rather than on a potential move to the States, for now. Manager Didier Deschamps has some big decisions to make when it comes to his squad for the tournament.
