But I think it's just about making sure that they work as hard as we did when we didn't have anything to make sure that they carry on that culture and environment to work harder. I believe that you get nowhere without working hard or trying your best. If you cut corners, I don't think you'll get there, so it's just making sure that's a development stage and for the youth now.

Video - Mourinho: 'I hate racism'00:38 It was also a triumph of tactics over his former mentor Jose Mourinho who, as Chelsea manager 15 years ago, turned Lampard from a promising player into the club's all-time top goal-scorer and one of England's best midfielders of his age.

In the last 5 H2H matches of the two clubs, the Gunners were victorious 3 times, the Saints won once and one game ended as a draw. Being that the Gunners are a stronger team in general, it’s easy to see why they are listed as the favourites in this affair. The hosts are also doing great when they play on their home soil, they are undefeated in their last 9 consecutive home games, while the visitors are winless in their last 4 away matches in a row. Given all that, I believe that we will see the hosts come out triumphant this time.

We’re confident that both teams will score in Friday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Heerenveen are yet to lose at home but have frustratingly drawn five of their seven games in front of their own fans, while Vitesse have picked up ten points from a possible twenty-one on the road and don’t look capable of winning right now, but do have a great recent record against Heerenveen which has produced six draws from the pairs’ last ten encounters.

Half of Europe was there to watch him' - why Bellingham is attracting so much interestThe England Under-17 international became Birmingham's youngest player when he made his debut for them in August.

Sancho left Manchester City for Germany at the age of 17, and has since won 11 England caps and scored 31 goals in 89 matches for Dortmund.
Paper Round’s view: It is not clear if Calafat is more of a fixer than a scout, as many of these young players were well known by European clubs and the press for years before they made their move to Real. However, getting someone who can operate smartly in the transfer market is an essential presence in the Premier League, and he would be worth recruiting.

The level of trust between Ramsey and Bass was summed up by another tale he told about the Jules Rimet Trophy - which was then awarded to the world champions - following the success in 1966. Livingstone said: "The team had been entertained in Dublin or Belfast, and they put the World Cup on the stands so everybody could see it but when they returned home to Heathrow, there was nobody to meet Alf.

The visitors don’t have the greatest form backing them here, while they aren’t really excelling against the league’s top sides. Sheffield Wednesday's seven league wins this season have been against teams currently in the bottom eight in the division.

Hull initially struggled to make the most of the extra man until Bowen's long-range rocket halved their deficit, and the forward then turned in from close range to ensure they came away with a point. The point moves Woodgate's side out of the Championship relegation zone on goal difference, with Grant McCann's Hull up to 14th. Relive Hull's comeback draw at BoroBoro's first half was arguably their most impressive of the season, with Assombalonga and Fletcher a constant menace for the visiting defence - but Johnson's needless sending-off led to the latter being replaced at half-time as Woodgate looked for more solidity against the extra man.
