Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd, City, Arsenal, Chelsea rumours

Show/hide article…

The January transfer window has barely creaked open and already teams are racing to replenish their squads.

Liverpool were the first to take the plunge with a £75million move for Virgil van Dijk, but now face the dilemma over what to do with Philippe Coutinho, with the Brazilian seemingly destined for a move to Barcelona.

Huddersfield were quick out the blocks as they signed defender Terence Kongolo on loan from Monaco, and there are sure to be plenty more deals completed in the next 27 days.

Pellegrino: FA Cup can help us

Show/hide article…

After the disappointment of Tuesday night’s 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace, attention now switches to a different competition, as Saints make the trip to Craven Cottage for the third-round tie on Saturday.

Pellegrino believes the cup can give his side a platform from which to pull themselves out of trouble when they return to Premier League action.

“For sure. We want to use this game as a reference to move on a step forward, and I will try to put out my best eleven to try to win the game,” he said.

"We have to look forward. We have to use the past to learn and improve, but we know Fulham will be a tough game. They are a good team, with a good style of playing.

"They have quick players and they take a lot of risks – and on their pitch it will be really difficult. We have to be really respectful.

“We have got the experience of Wolves at home [in the Carabao Cup] and every single detail is massive. We have to show for ourselves that we want to win this game.”

Opposition View: Fulham

Show/hide article…

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the Serbian was quick to praise the qualities of his upcoming Premier League opposition but remains confident that his team can win for a fifth consecutive time on home turf.

“Southampton have enough quality to do damage. We must be careful and motivated. We’re in great form ourselves and expect we can our fifth home game in a row.

“(Mauricio) Pellegrino is a great manager, working at a great club. They’ll be looking for a reaction after ten games without a win.

“We must respect this competition. We will try to do everything to win this game. The FA Cup is famous around the world; our intention is to be competitive because it is important for the supporters.”

Match Preview: Fulham vs Saints

Show/hide article…

THE MATCH

Fulham vs Southampton

Saturday 6th January 2018, 3:00pm GMT

Craven Cottage

Emirates FA Cup

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

A momentary break from the current Premier League campaign may well have come at a good time for Saints, who will be looking to bounce back from disappointment against Crystal Palace.

Despite Shane Long’s early strike giving them a platform, Saints were undone by a second-half Palace revival, and are now winless in nine games.

But FA Cup success may provide brief reprieve for Mauricio Pellegrino’s men, who advanced to the fourth round during last year’s competition after a replay against Norwich City.

Unbeaten in their previous four, Saturday’s Championship opponents, Fulham are indeed on a profitable run of form, having overturned Ipswich 4-1 last time out. A productive Christmas period has seen Slaviša Jokanović’s Londoners jump in to tenth, four points adrift of a coveted play-off spot.

The Cottagers progressed to the FA Cup’s fifth round last term, before eventually being knocked out by Tottenham.

TEAM NEWS

Southampton: Right-back Cédric (ankle) and striker Charlie Austin (hamstring) remain sidelined, while Wesley Hoedt (concussion) and Jérémy Pied add to Saints’ defensive shortfall. Ryan Bertrand made a return to fitness against Crystal Palace and came through the game unscathed.

Fulham: The hosts have no fresh injury or suspension concerns in the lead up to the tie. Star man Ryan Sessegnon was substituted with three minutes to spare on Saturday and is expected to start after scoring twice in the win over Ipswich.

FORM GUIDE

Southampton’s previous five:

Crystal Palace (h) L 1-2

Manchester United (a) D 0-0

Tottenham (a) L 2-5

Huddersfield (h) D 1-1

Chelsea (a) L 0-1

Fulham’s previous five:

Ipswich (h) W 4-1

Hull (a) D 2-2

Cardiff (a) W 2-4

Barnsley (h) W 2-1

Sunderland (a) L 1-0

Shane Long scored his first Premier League goal since February against Crystal Palace and will be hoping to use as a catalyst for a purple patch of form to help the team improve.

Elsewhere, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg’s output in the centre of midfield has been a positive - he made more passes and had a higher passing accuracy than any other Saints player during both recent Man Utd and Palace fixtures.

Top scorers: Charlie Austin (6), Steven Davis (3), Manolo Gabbiadini (3), Dušan Tadić (3)

Most assists: Nathan Redmond (3), Ryan Bertrand (3), Dušan Tadić (2)

Amid intense transfer speculation, Ryan Sessegnon has emerged as Fulham’s youngest, yet brightest, attacking threat.

The talented full-back, 17, who finished as joint-top scorer at the European Under-19 Championship last June, has been tracked by Man United for some time, while the teenager’s recent form is rumoured to have attracted significant interest from Tottenham and Real Madrid.

Top scorers: Ryan Sessegnon (7), Aboubakar Kamara (6), Stefan Johansen (5)

Most assists: Ryan Sessegnon (4), Ryan Fredericks (4)

All-time record:

Played: 71

Southampton: 26

Draws: 24

Fulham: 21

Previous four meetings:

Feb 2014: Fulham 0-3 Southampton - A Lallana (64’), R Lambert (70’), J Rodriguez (75’)

Oct 2013: Southampton 2-0 Fulham - R Lambert (20’), J Rodriguez (42’)

Dec 2012: Fulham 1-1 Southampton - R Lambert (85’ pen)

Oct 2012: Southampton 2-2 Fulham - J Fonte (4’, 90’)

DID YOU KNOW?

Southampton have progressed past lower league opponents in 17 of their last 18 FA Cup ties, although the last two occasions have seen the Saints taken to a replay.

Each of Southampton’s last six FA Cup third round matches (excl. replays) have seen both teams score, with 25 goals scored in total (4.2 goals per game).

Wenger responds to suggestions Walcott will leave Arsenal in January

Show/hide article…

Arsene Wenger insists he wants to keep hold of Theo Walcott this month — but stopped short of completely ruling out his sale.

The Arsenal and England forward, 28, has been limited to just 14 appearances this season, with most of those coming in cup competitions.

Walcott, whose contract expires in June 2019, has been attracting interest from a number of top flight clubs. Wenger, though, is keen to hang on to the club’s longest-serving player.

“I want him to stay,” The Frenchman said at his Friday press conference.

When quizzed about reports linking Walcott with a return to Southampton, Wenger replied: “I heard about that but I want him to stay.”

Wenger, meanwhile, insisted stands by the comments he made before and after Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Wednesday night.

The Football Association has asked Wenger to provide his observations on what he said about two penalty decisions given against the Gunners, the first awarded to West Brom on New Year’s Eve and the second given to Antonio Conte’s men.

“I maintain what I said in the press conference - 100 per cent. I have nothing to change in that,” he said.

“I’ve been in England for 21 years and I try to serve this game with honesty and integrity and when I have something to say I will say it. On that front, nothing will change, never.”

Wenger faces a separate FA charge relating to his behaviour after last weekend’s 1-1 draw with West Brom, when Arsenal defender Calum Chambers was penalised by Mike Dean for a handball.

He said at the club’s Friday press conference ahead of the FA Cup third-round tie against Nottingham Forest that he “doesn’t know” if he will contest the charge.

He added: “You imagine that I’ve been in the game for 21 years. What I’ve seen and heard in the corridors from people, you might understand that I’m surprised and shocked at having been charged.”

Arsenal conceded another late penalty against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium in midweek when Eden Hazard went down following a challenge from Hector Bellerin.

Wenger refuses to back down on his claim that the spot-kick awarded against Bellerin was “farcical”, standing by the comment “100 per cent” and adding: "I respect everybody’s opinion.

“I think it was a yellow card for Hazard. 100 per cent (he dived). I have a right to have my opinion and I respect everybody’s opinion.”

When it was pointed out to Wenger that Jack Wilshere was accused of diving in the same match, the 68-year-old replied: "Maybe he did, but why should that change my opinion on the penalty? It has nothing to do with the penalty.

“You have your opinion and I have my opinion and I’ve been in the game long enough to know that everybody can have a different opinion.”

FA Cup third round shock ratings: Where will be upsets happen?

Show/hide article…

It is a sainted day in the English football calendar - no matter how much money is poured into the Premier League, or how top heavy the modern structure has become, this is as close as it gets to a level playing field.

The FA Cup third round is upon us, and this year the draw has thrown up some potential classics - a Merseyside derby, Brighton vs Crystal Palace, and of course, plenty of lower league versus top division clashes.

Here, Sportsmail looks at all 17 of the ties pitting Premier League clubs against sides outside the top tier, and rates their shock potential…

With Jose Mourinho feeling the pressure at Old Trafford, high-flying Derby would seem to have picked the perfect time to visit. However the United boss values the cups, is still smarting from one embarrassing exit - to Bristol City in the Carabao Cup - and the Red Devils rarely slip up against smaller clubs.

Although a return to the Highbury Stadium for Jamie Vardy is up in the air due to injury, this remains a huge game for League One Fleetwood. Nevertheless, Leicester should triumph - Claude Puel took Southampton to Wembley last season, and the Foxes are safe from the relegation scrap.

After a dreadful start to the season - they got two points from their first 11 games - Bolton are slowly recovering, and come into this on good form with three wins in their last four. Huddersfield face the unusual scenario of being the big boys here - and it all depends on how they deal with that pressure.

Although Premier League at home to League One doesn’t scream upset, this puts together a Cherries side facing a relegation fight and the Latics, top of their table and with recent FA Cup pedigree. Eddie Howe picked a weaker side last year and they were beaten at Millwall. One to keep an eye on.

If any fans could sum up the phrase ‘long-suffering’, it would be Coventry supporters, but not only are they in the League Two promotion mix, they also have a prime shock opportunity against a Stoke side far more preoccupied with a relegation fight. The Ricoh Arena may even by half-full for this one.

It is astonishing how quickly West Brom have gone from the model of mid-table consistency to 20 games without a win. Alan Pardew needs to stop the rot, and will eye the FA Cup - having guided Palace to the 2016 final - as a chance to do so. Paul Tisdale’s Grecians will not roll over, however.

As proved by their win over Ipswich in midweek - trailing 1-0 after an hour having spurned a hatfull of chances, only to then score four in seven minutes - Fulham often frustrate, but when they get it right they can be thrilling. Southampton under Mauricio Pellegrino are not thrilling - and as former manager Puel learned last season, a cup run is no guarantee of job security.

Premier League host League Two - home banker? No way. Newcastle are a mess - unimpressive squad, uncertain future, unhappy manager and fans. Luton meanwhile are steaming towards promotion with 76 goals this season in all competitions - only Man City have more. The shock is on.

The Hornets may be suffering a dreadful slump, but they should see this one through. City are off the boil themselves - they have won one in four since shocking Man United and were stuffed 5-0 by Aston Villa on New Year’s Day. Manager Lee Johnson - privately - will not fancy another distraction.

Would this be more of a shock if Wolves didn’t win? Top of the Championship by 12 points, they will see this as a good marker for next season, against the top-flight’s bottom club. Swansea have been revitalised a little under new manager Carlos Carvahal, but they are facing an early cup exit.

The Canaries’ hope that they had appointed David Wagner Mk II when they named Daniel Farke as manager has so far proved wide of the mark, as they sit mid-table in the Championship. Carrow Road will be abuzz for an evening kick-off against the top-tier champions, but even a second-string Blues side will probably have too much.

Relegation favourites at the start of the season, Paul Hurst’s Shrews are five points clear in the League One automatic promotion spots. David Moyes has added steel to his Hammers side, however, and will not fancy a repeat of the 2003 humiliation at Gay Meadow when his Everton side were embarrassed 2-1.

The FA Cup goes to Wembley even earlier this year as Spurs host the League One strugglers. It’s the first time the Wimbledon name will be displayed at Wembley in the FA Cup since their famous 1988 final triumph. This is likely to be less historic, however - even with just a three-day turnaround from the West Ham draw, Tottenham should be far too strong.

Forest are managerless, having sacked Mark Warburton when their hoped for play-off push failed to materialise. Caretaker boss Gary Brazil may be handed the full-time gig if he can mastermind an upset against the holder. Arsene Wenger has never lost to lower-league opposition in the third round, however, and it is hard to see that happening here.

Southampton open talks with Monaco over move for striker Carrillo

Show/hide article…

Southampton have begun talks with Monaco for Argentine striker Guido Carrillo, as manager Mauricio Pellgerino looks to add firepower to his side in order to turn around their Premier League fortunes.

The 26-year-old has emerged as a target for the Saints, who are desperately looking to bring to an end their poor run of form.

Pellegrino’s side find themselves one place above the relegation zone, on goal difference alone, and need to add to their squad in order to ensure survival.

The Argentine manager has worked with his compatriot Carrillo before, coaching him at Estudiantes during the early stages of his career.

Carrillo’s form at the club caught the eyes of bigger teams and soon earned a move to the continent with renowned talent spotters Monaco.

A fee in the region of £17million is believed to be required in order for the two sides to conclude business.

Carrillo is now in his third season with the principality club, playing second fiddle to Colombian superstar Radamel Falcao.

The 26-year-old has found his chances limited as a result, though has still managed to score three goals in his last four appearances for the club.

Southampton have money to spend in the January window, following their £75million sale of Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool.

Pellegrino needs to turn things around quickly at St Mary’s, with the club currently on a nine-game winless streak.
