You could be forgiven, though, for thinking there is a much stronger bond between two men from the same country, whose paths from young heavy-metal upstarts to coaching heavyweights have taken eerily similar paths. There are striking facets in each man's style of play too. The high intensity pressing, the devastating speed of the counter-attack, the fluidity of the forwards. PL FIXTURES | RESULTS | POINTS TABLE Now, whether you are a believer in fate or coincidence, the two are set to battle in the Premier League for the first time on Thursday when Chelsea – unbeaten so far under Tuchel – visit Anfield to take on Klopp's Liverpool. With that in mind, let's take a trip down memory lane. BECOMING THE MAINZ MAN "I had fourth-division feet and a first-division head". Even as a player, Klopp always believed his talents were better suited to the touchline than inside the white lines and it was at second-tier Mainz – where he made over 300 league appearances as a … [Read more...] about Liverpool v Chelsea: Klopp and Tuchel take familiar paths to Premier League showdown

England's attack faces a tough battle to earn the tourists first-innings parity with India after "another bad day at the office" for the batsmen, says Nasser Hussain. Joe Root's side succumbed to 205 all out on day one of the fourth Test after choosing to bat first, with the hosts closing on 24-1 to trail by 181 runs. Fourth Test scorecard: India vs England Day One in Ahmedabad - as it happened Spinners Ravichandran Ashwin (3-47) and Axar Patel (4-68) did the bulk of the damage, taking seven wickets between them, and, although India will have to bat last, Hussain told The Cricket Show that England cannot afford to fall too far behind in the game. "It was another bad day at the office," said the former England captain. "There was nothing wrong with the pitch this time. "They've had the full spectrum of pitches in this series. They've had two poor pitches - I think we've all agreed on that. Some people have gone easier on India and some people have gone … [Read more...] about England’s batting failings in India exposed again on best surface of series so far, says Nasser Hussain

Jordan Pickford's tackle on Virgil van Dijk? Harry Maguire's WWE move on Cesar Azpilicueta? Eric Dier's handball against Newcastle United? Barely a matchday seems to go by without some kind of controversy, but just how bad are these decisions? Is the VAR really making a catastrophic error? Or are these decisions actually correct? It was VAR that took centre stage yet again as Manchester United were left frustrated by a penalty controversy at Stamford Bridge in their goalless draw against Chelsea. United came into the game, hoping to close the gap between them and leaders Manchester City. Instead they now sit 12 points behind the Cityzens as their title hopes fade following a run of one win from four games. PL RESULTS | POINTS TABLE | FIXTURES Marcus Rashford's powerfully hit free-kick was parried out by Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. Mason Greenwood moved to pick up the rebound and was challenged by Callum Hudson-Odoi, who appeared to nudge the ball with his … [Read more...] about VAR and controversies go hand in hand in Premier League

The Premier League has a relegation race again. And while it’s neither likely that anyone in the bottom three besides Fulham will escape nor that anyone besides Newcastle will drop into the bottom three, we’re going to have some fun and predict scenarios in which anyone in the bottom seven could be relegated or save themselves. When you check out the list of six-pointers at the bottom of the post, well, maybe?!?() [ MORE: Three things from Man City – Wolves ] We’re not going to include Crystal Palace even with its injuries and current wretched form because being caught by a team 10-points or more behind them is a pretty wild idea. Not impossible, but wild. Southampton’s seven-point cushion gets included but seems likely to soon be less of a worry due to a really easy fixture run. Here is one reason why each team will go down, and another why they could stay up.
