I didn't have any doubts long term, I just didn't know if it would be the start of the season that he'd be putting me under pressure to play him. I wanted Tammy because of what he did last year. The big thing we've worked on with him is making sure he's not just a target, he uses every little bit of his attributes to run and stretch defences and I think he's taken to that. For me Tomori is probably the proudest one because when he came to Derby last year it was quite a late move for us.

Nine months later, I made my full England debut. These days, people mostly bring up my BBC interview with Garth Crooks straight after the game, when I was so excited about scoring that a four-letter word sneaked out. My mum gave me an earful when I saw her afterwards - she didn't speak about the goal, because she was never really too bothered about football, but she just told me I had embarrassed her by swearing on TV.
Al Jeel will host Al Batin for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent and I think they have the potential top ick up the victory in this game. Al Batin is one of the best teams in this campaign. They are currently on the 3rd place with 25 points. Also, we have Al Jeel who's is not very good team in this season. They are currently on the 16th place with 15 points. Also, the hosts are more vulnerable. They have two consecutive losses. So, Al Batin is really better team. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.

Match preview Aston Villa v Manchester City (Carabao Cup final, 16:30 GMT)Aston Villa got blasted by their manager Dean Smith last week. I don't know if some of their players had one eye on this game, but they were very poor in their defeat by Southampton. I would expect a much-improved performance from Villa at Wembley, but I still think City will end up as convincing winners. Pep Guardiola's side won 6-1 at Villa Park in January and the way they move the ball around will make things very difficult for Villa, who are quite open defensively.

The guests Ludogorets sit in first position and 9 points clear But in the last 5 games, the team has no win. In the last 10 direct meetings between these two teams, Guests has won 5 times, Hosts has won once and four times they drew. So I recommend to bet on the result draw for this football match.

Basically there is no room to claim that empoli is better than pisa or pisa is better than empoli.

You cannot lose nine Premier League matches and expect to finish ahead of Liverpool. City will come back hurt next season - but must have a better defence. Pre-season prediction: 1stWhat I said in August: "Kompany's presence will be hugely difficult to replace on and off the pitch but class in all parts of the pitch will make it a Premier League treble. Manchester United - 3rdInspired by the January signing of Bruno Fernandes, United did superbly to reel in Leicester City and ensure manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer achieved what should be the minimum expectation of top four.
Okay, they didn't quite blow the Blues away, but the victory meant it was a test Arteta and Co ultimately passed and capped what is undoubtedly the best week of his time in charge thus far.
