I like the Morocco midfielder. He's exciting to watch and also has a bit of an attitude, like he's got a point to prove.

New Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy must like that as he was handed only his fourth start of the season against West Ham and mopped up the bonus points with a goal and assist.

Leicester have a so-so fixture list until the end of January, but it does include home games against Brighton, Wolves, Palace and Fulham.

If you are looking for a rotatable, budget eighth forward player, then El Khannouss is a potential option.

Who doesn't love a bit of late drama?

Here's some of the most dramatic endings to Premier League matches, including last-minute winners by Sergio Aguero to clinch Man City the title and Divock Origi for Liverpool against Everton.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich striker Liam Delap has been talking to Football Focus reporter Liam MacDevitt about his playing style, working under Kieran McKenna and aiming for England honours.

Watch a clip from the interview here, then catch the full thing on Football Focus tomorrow at 12:00 GMT on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and app.

West Ham are standing by manager Julen Lopetegui - for now.

The move has inevitably triggered a lot of debate, with many feeling the club's problems go back to the decision not to renew a new contract for David Moyes.

I think Moyes' time at the London Stadium was over. West Ham fans were increasingly of the belief a more expansive approach was required. Moyes felt it needed more pragmatic tactics to keep the club pushing towards the European places.

Whether Lopetegui was the right choice as replacement is another matter.

Obviously he can salvage the situation but I tend to think managers given a game or two to prove they should stay are on a very slippery slope.

West Ham may play well against Wolves and lose for any variety of reasons. They could be just above the relegation zone by Monday night.

Lopetegui will do well to salvage the situation from here.

A complex and lengthy draw ceremony was held across two separate Miami locations and lasted more than 90 minutes, during which a new Club World Cup trophy was revealed.

There was also a video message from incoming US president Donald Trump, whose daughter Ivanka drew the first team.

Lionel Messi's Inter Miami will take on Egyptian side Al Ahly at the Hard Rock Stadium in the opening match, staged in Miami.

Teams from each of the six international football confederations will be represented at next summer's tournament, including 12 European clubs - the highest quota of any confederation.

The European places were decided by clubs' Champions League performances over the past four seasons, with recent winners Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid guaranteed places.

One place was reserved for a club from the host nation, which Fifa controversially awarded to Inter Miami, who will contest the tournament curtain-raiser. Messi's side were winners of the regular-season MLS Supporters' Shield but beaten in the MLS play-offs, meaning they are not this season's champions.

Group A: Palmeiras, FC Porto, Al Ahly, Inter Miami

Group B: Paris St-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Botafogo, Seattle Sounders

Group C: Bayern Munich, Auckland City, Boca Juniors, Benfica

Group D: Flamengo, Esperance Sportive de Tunisie, Chelsea, Club Leon

Group E: River Plate, Urawa Red Diamonds, Monterrey, Inter Milan

Group F: Fluminense, Borussia Dortmund, Ulsan, Mamelodi Sundowns

Group G:Manchester City, Wydad, Al Ain, Juventus

Group H: Real Madrid, Al Hilal, Pachuca, Salzburg

Teams will play each other once in the group phase and the top two will progress to the knockout stage.

Defending champions Manchester City will face Juventus in the group stage of the Fifa Club World Cup next summer, while Chelsea meet Brazilian side Flamengo.

Pep Guardiola's City, who beat Brazilian side Fluminense to win the tournament for the first time in 2023, begin their title defence against Morocco's Wydad and also play Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates in Group G.

Chelsea, winners of the 2021 final, were also drawn alongside Mexico's Club Leon and Tunisian side Esperance Sportive de Tunisie in Group D.

The revamped Fifa Club World Cup, which has been expanded to 32 teams, will take place in the United States between 15 June and 13 July next year.

Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler following the 3-1 defeat to Fulham: "The performance was good but the result is disappointing. We created enough chances for two or three games! It was mistakes to concede the goals but in the end we created enough to win this game.

"It is about keeping our heads up as Sunday is the next chance to get the result we deserve. We have to learn from these mistakes.

"I think we all know that's not the result we deserved.

"We created a lot of chances and gave away a goal with an error in the build-up and an own goal.

"But it's football. That's exactly what I demand from Bart, to find solutions on the ground. We will give him feedback and the players will improve.

"But mistakes happen. If there were no mistakes there would be no goals."

Fulham boss Marco Silva on the 3-1 win over Brighton: "It was a big three points for us in a tough game. We started in the best way possible with the early goal but Brighton made it really difficult for us in the first half. They started with three at the back and it made it difficult for us to connect with the wide players.

"Second half we were much better. We conceded in a moment we should prepare better for the long ball. It was a good shot from the edge of the box. Difficult game but a big three points for us.

"We played with Alex Iwobi in a different position. He's an offensive player and did an amazing job."

Brighton are having a good season, they sit in fifth and are just three points outside of the top four.

Results earlier this season have seen the seagulls narrowly lose to Liverpool, who lead the table, beat the likes of Newcastle and draw against Arsenal.

Their December fixtures have been and are against mid-table sides but they are yet to land a blow. So is their form turning? They drew against bottom Southampton and have lost against Fulham.

The rest of their December games are against Leicester, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Brentford and Aston Villa, all of whom sit below them in the table. Fabian Hurzeler will need a few results from those games to maintain their position.

Former Brighton striker on 5 Live Breakfast

They [Brighton fans] need to appreciate the moment they were in when they were second, but the Premier League is a punishing league, ever-changing. I think they need to remain on track to keep as a top 10 club, that's the wants of the owner.

It's about doing the right things, day in, day out and trying to three points because every game in the Premier League is so so difficult.

Here's what Ange Postecoglou had to say in his post-match media conference last night...

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on Fabian Schar: "Fabian has got those midfield qualities at centre-back, he has that creative eye. That is so important in our build-up phase.

"He used the ball well against Liverpool. His goal is rounding everything up, how he scored from that angle, great goal. He has that technical ability to adapt, and he’s scored some good goals for us."
