Coventry City are yet to get off the mark in this 2026-27 Premier League campaign, sitting bottom of the table with no points from the opening three games. BBC CWR fancaster Danny Finlay said Frank Lampard's side showed "guts, style and fight" at the Etihad which has convinced him they have enough to compete in the top-flight this season.
Arsenal star Kai Havertz may be the best false nine on the planet, says Joe Cole (Picture: Getty) Joe Cole has praised Kai Havertz’s ‘absolutely sensational’ performance against Chelsea and believes the German may be the best false nine in world football. Arsenal got off to a nightmare start in Sunday’s derby as Morgan Rogers fired a stunning volley beyond David Raya to open the scoring after only two minutes. But Havertz helped inspire a spirited comeback from the Premier League champions, equalising with a precise finish past Emiliano Martinez before playing a key role in Martin Odegaard’s winner shortly after half-time. While Christos Tzolis provided the assist for Odegaard’s decisive strike, it was Havertz’s exquisite dummy in the build-up that earned many of the plaudits as the Gunners held firm to maintain their 100 per cent record.

The result moved Mikel Arteta’s side level on points at the top of the table with Manchester City, the only other side in the division with three wins from their first three contests. Havertz and Co will look to pick up where they left off when they return to top-flight action away to Sunderland – first, though, Arteta’s men do battle with Napoli in Champions League on Wednesday night. ‘It burns me every time I see him playing for Arsenal and performing the way he performed,’ Cole said of Havertz while reflecting on the derby on The Dressing Room Podcast.

Romeo Lavia is a good player but he just can’t seem to keep himself fit for a sustained period of time,’ he added. ‘Reece James, Malo Gusto, whoever plays in there with him, it’s not Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo. ‘I thought Arsenal just slightly dominated that midfield area and that allowed them to build into the game but there’s a lot to be proud of for Chelsea.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Alonso: Chelsea made to 'hur
The 1958 Manchester United fans' group is organising a protest ahead of Sunday's derby clash with Manchester City in protest at the club's handing of its ticket touting crackdown. United identified numerous instances of what they felt was ticket touting and in July placed restrictions on a large number of accounts and demanded details for why single devices were being used for multiple accounts, amid a threat of them being withdrawn. The message warned the fan their season ticket could be deactivated for a Premier League game if they didn't buy a ticket.
