It stinks of panic, doesn't it?" said Jermaine Jenas on BBC Radio 5 Live as news of a possible move for Ighalo broke. It makes no sense to sell Lukaku and say he's surplus to requirement and then be looking at these players. United have been criticised for a lack of direction and planning and this backs that up. You don't feel they know what they want. On the links to King, Jenas added: "My hope is that King goes out there, scores goals and performs to a point that Manchester United cannot ignore him and he can get that dream move back because he is a serious talent.

The Serie A round 13 match between Verona and Fiorentina is played at Bentegodi where Verona is always an unpleasant opponent but Fiorentina is in my opinion a better team and that is why I give her an advantage in this match as well as home goal advantage. The last time the guest celebrated home was 2: 1 Kijeza was then the shooter. Fiorentina will be fully prepared for this game, ie without injury to the players, while Verona will miss a few key players. I expect goals as always in the mutual matches of these teams. Try following this one of my suggestions into smaller roles.

Mourinho and Spurs fans may well lament VAR and suggest the red card for Son was harsh, but they'd just be making excuses for what was probably their worst showing since the 'Special One' took charge. Lampard's tactical reshuffle heading into the match proved key and his team came out on top in all departments.

Both sides score and concede regularly so a bet on both to score is the suggested bet.

Quagliarella pulled one back in style in the 26th minute as the ball was chipped forward to the edge of the area where the 37-year-old met it with a volley on the turn which flew into the bottom corner. Sampdoria thought they had levelled 10 minutes after halftime with another artistic effort when Gaston Ramirez turned the ball in with an overhead kick but, after a long VAR review, the goal was controversially chalked off for handball by Manolo Gabbiadini at the start of the move.
Real are now second in the standings on 28 points after 13 games, level with leaders Barca who beat Leganes 2-1 earlier on Saturday.
