  1. Conte to stay putpublished at 10:32 British Summer Time 8 April 2017

    Bournemouth v Chelsea (17:30 BST)

    You may have read a few stories linking Antonio Conte with a move to Inter. You may, like me, have thought that move seemed odd.

    Well, now the Chelsea boss has dismissed stories linking him with a return to Italy this summer.

    Reports, external  in the manager's home country - quoting an agent, Federico Pastorello - had suggested he was considering a move, with Inter Milan the most likely destination.

    "I'm very happy to stay," Conte said.

    "I read this interview about Pastorello. I don't know him and I don't know why this person has spoken about me."

    He added: "I worked in Italy. They want to come back for me in Italy. It's normal. I have two more years of contract with Chelsea.

    "This is the truth. This is the most important thing. I don't like when I listen to other persons talking about me."

    Liverpool are on course for a Champions League place, but will have to make do without forward Sadio Mane, who is set to miss the last seven games of the season with a knee injury.

    Mane, 24, was taken off after colliding with Leighton Baines in  Saturday's 3-1 home victory over Everton.

    Manager Jurgen Klopp said he was "pretty sure" Mane needed surgery, leaving it "pretty much impossible for him to play again this season".

    The £34m signing from Southampton has started all but five of Liverpool's league games this campaign.

    Of those, three were drawn and two were lost. The Reds are third in the Premier League table with seven games left.

  8. The life of an agentpublished at 10:08 British Summer Time 8 April 2017

    Want a well paid job? Well, being a football agent certainly seems to have its perks.

    The amount paid by English clubs to agents has risen by 38% in a year - up from £160m to £220m.

    The Premier League paid £174m to agents, up from £130m, with Manchester City being the biggest spenders (£26.3m) ahead of Chelsea (£25.1m) and Manchester United (£19m).

    England's second tier, the Championship, spent £42.4m on agents, an increase of 62%. The Football Association figures cover from February 2016 to January 2017.

    Are the agents worth it? This video has a look at what they do for their money.

  11. Guardiola 'lucky' to manage Manchester Citypublished at 09:54

    Manchester City v Hull City (15:00 BST)

    One man who is certainly known by all of the Premier League is Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

    A 2-1 defeat at leaders Chelsea on Wednesday ended any slim hopes of a Manchester City title challenge.

    Immediately after that match, Guardiola was talking up his side and says he is "lucky" to manage his team and is "so optimistic" about the future.

    They still have a long way to go to secure their Champions League spot, and are at home to Hull today.

    West Ham and Swansea fans are among those worried about Hull's recent revival.

    A 4-2 win over Middlesbrough earlier in the week took the club out of the bottom three for the first time since Marco Silva came to the club at the start of the year. 

    Watch as Hull defender Harry Maguire tells Football Focus the club's players did not know who Silva was when he was appointed in January.

    We've just heard from Slaven Bilic, and Swansea defender Martin Olsson says his team are in a "scrap" as they bid to escape relegation from the Premier League

    Swansea slipped back into the relegation zone after Spurs' late comeback  earned a 3-1 win  on Wednesday.

    But Olsson, 28, says Swansea can take points from West Ham.

    "It's going to be a tough game but I'm confident we can go there and get something," Olsson said. "When you're in a scrap like this you've got to work hard and maybe sometimes it's not pretty football."
