Arsenal take on Bournemouth on Sunday, but the Cherries will be without influential midfielder Jack Wilshere who is ineligible as he is on loan from the Gunners.

Arsene Wenger has been talking about the surprise decision to send the England midfielder out on loan.

"I'm happy he is developing well and it was a good decision to go to Bournemouth as he gets regular football," said Wenger. "The observations I am getting is that he is getting stronger every week and that is what he needed. I am happy he has not had any injuries.

"When a player like Jack is in top form, you miss him always. We want to win games and the solution is to focus on the offensive performance and be tight at the back rather than expect any weakness from Bournemouth."

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who we will be hearing from shortly, might have found winning away from home quite tough in the Champions League this season but there have been no such problems in the Premier League.

In six games, the only time they have failed to win was at Tottenham on 2 October.

They have scored 15 goals in their other five games – and scored six at Burnley in April 2010.

Shaun Ruddock: Kevin Phillips. 325k, European golden boot winner, over a hundred goals and an amazing little and large act with Niall Quinn. 

Nathan Simmonds: Lee Bullen to Sheffield Wednesday for free. Went on to play in every position including goalkeeper, now assistant manager.

Dan Vaughan: Love a bargain, but Lambert (£1m), Davis (800k), Fonte (£1.2m) stand out as absolute steals. Buy low, sell high too.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has been asked about the retirement of former England captain Steven Gerrard, whose late equaliser in the 2006 FA Cup final denied Pardew a cup victory when in charge of West Ham.

"I have good memories and some bad memories of Steven Gerrard. I think I'd have won a cup final if it wasn't for his moment of brilliance," says Pardew. "Liverpool's European (Champions League) win (in 2005) wouldn't have happened without him.

"I know people that have worked with him and they talk about his professionalism and he will bring that to coaching.

"I hope we do not lose him (from football) and I hope he gets into the (management) system quickly. We should all be very proud he is English."

You know it’s a big day for Argentine sport when Diego Maradona is in the house - the 1986 World Cup winner is in Zagreb to see if his nation can overcome Croatia in the Davis Cup final, which gets under way at 13:00 GMT.

It has become the holy grail of Argentine sport after four defeats in four finals.

There are 100 accredited journalists and a travelling band of spectators in Zagreb to see if Juan Martin del Potro and co can finally satisfy “the great obsession”, as newspaper La Nacion describes it.

Hull City boss Mike Phelan confirmed his team may be in the market for a new striker, with Southampton's Jay Rodriguez on his radar.

"It fits when you’re not scoring goals," he said on bringing in new attacking options. "We’ve lost Will (Keane), we do have Adama Diomande back now but Dieumerci Mbokani we will possibly lose because of the Africa Cup of Nations."

Phelan highlighted that his team need to score more goals and added: "You don’t win matches without scoring goals and strikers are the main ones do that.

"We are interested in a couple. People like Jay are getting sporadic games at their clubs but there are others around and we have to get the right ones."
