Paul Dickov believes Erling Haaland will go on to break the Premier League Golden Boot record and become the first player to win the award five times. Haaland is currently leading the race again and is closing in on a third Golden Boot. Dickov’s argument is simple. Haaland keeps scoring at a historic rate and should remain at Manchester City long enough to overhaul Thierry Henry and Mohamed Salah, who currently share the record with four Golden Boots each.

Chelsea’s defeat to Manchester United was followed by reports of dressing-room tension involving Alejandro Garnacho. The winger, facing his former club, was said to have been confronted by teammates at half-time after a poor first-half display. The reporting comes from tabloid-origin claims relayed by Goal, not from a club statement or wider confirmed reporting. Garnacho came on early for the injured Estevao but struggled badly, with his defensive lapse on Bruno Fernandes preceding Matheus Cunha’s winner. The same report says frustration also showed on the pitch, where Cole Palmer was seen reacting to Garnacho’s repeated turnovers.

He argued Newcastle could regret it badly if they push Howe out and watch him succeed elsewhere.
