Chelsea captain Reece James faces a ban after being charged by the Football Association for “insulting or abusive” language towards a referee. The incident happened during Sunday’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa, in which James was not involved due to injury. The match official was Jarred Gillett, who James is said to have confronted in the tunnel after the game which Chelsea lost thanks to Ollie Watkin’s late goal.
Aston Villa's women's players are "dreading" their first match of the WSL season because of the club's shirts, says Jacqui Oatley.
Bournemouth are still without a Premier League win after Sunday’s defeat at Brighton – but the difficulty level of their half-dozen opening fixtures remains a factor that should be taken into account. What will surely frustrate boss Andoni Iraola is that they led for a spell at Brighton – as they had in their other away games at Liverpool and Brentford – but have only a point against the Bees to show from those three road trips.
