    Ex-Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun misses TWO penalties in nightmare full Monaco debut

    Former Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun endured a nightmare full debut for Monaco as he missed TWO penalties in a 1-0 defeat to Nice. Balogun has been used off the bench since joining from the Gunners in a deal worth up to £34million, scoring once in two substitute appearances, before being named in the starting line-up on Friday night. The 22-year-old American scored a remarkable 21 goals for Reims last season but that form was nowhere to be seen at the Louis II Stadium as he joined a rare group of players to miss two penalties in one game.

    Tottenham XI vs Arsenal: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for north London derby

    Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has a decision to make at centre-forward for Sunday's visit to Arsenal. Heung-min Son has led the line in the last two games, scoring a hat-trick at Burnley before a more subdued display in the win over Sheffield United last weekend, but Richarlison was the game-changer from the bench against the Blades. The Brazilian scored his first home League goal to equalise before setting up the last-gasp winner for Dejan Kulusevski.

    Chelsea XI vs Aston Villa: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League game

    Four Chelsea players are in a race to be fit for Sunday’s home Premier League match against Aston Villa. Moises Caicedo picked up a knee injury on international duty with Ecuador recently but said he was confident it would not prevent him from featuring this weekend, having sat out the goalless draw with Bournemouth. Armando Broja, meanwhile, ruptured his ACL last December in a friendly against Villa and will be assessed on Saturday as to whether he can make his return — nine months later — against the same opponents.
