    I'm a Villa fan and I think if we can get a cheap back-up goalkeeper then that would be ideal.

    Dan James could be set for a deadline-day move away from Manchester United.

    Although the Wales winger has started two of United’s three Premier League games this season, including yesterday’s 1-0 win at Wolves, his first-team chances will be reduced by Cristiano Ronaldo’s impending return to Old Trafford.

    It is understood Leeds, who came close to signing James in 2019, have expressed an interest but other clubs are interested as well, with United willing to speak about a loan or permanent deal.

    James became Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first signing as Manchester United manager when he moved from Swansea in a £15m deal in June 2019.

    He still has three years left on his contract.

    So far so great for Spurs. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a screenshot of the current league table to treasure forever. Being honest though, I can't see us breaking top four unless we improve massively from last season. You never know though.

    Patrick Bamford caps a dream week with a late equaliser as Leeds extend Burnley's winless home run to 12 games with a draw at Turf Moor.

    Burnley have now not won a home game since January.
