Premier League news live: Latest updates on Abramovich’s Chelsea sale, plus build-up to weekend’s games

The Athletic’s Katie Whyatt spoke to the documentary-makers who followed their season here.

Wolves winger Francisco Trincao, who is on-loan at the club from Barcelona, has revealed that he feels he deserves to play more.

He also said that he believes he is doing “great things,” without being rewarded on the scoresheet.

Trincao has made 20 appearances this season, but has failed to score. After starting Wolves’ first five games of the season, he has only featured in one of the club’s last five games.

Speaking to Sky Sports on how to regain his spot, Trincao said: “I’m working to do that. I’m doing my best for the coach to think that (I should play more). It’s his decision, I have to respect it. Of course, I think I deserve more and I’m trying to do that and show that every day.

“If you just look for the end product, maybe you can say that (we haven’t seen the best of me). But if you look at football in terms of the whole game, you can say I’m doing great things.”

Kevin Thelwell is one of the executives who took Wolves from League One to the Premier League, responsible for signing many of the key players of the Nuno Espirito Santo era.

After a spell with New York Red Bulls, he’s now got the vacant director of football job at Goodison Park. His old club travel there today. Has he taken on an impossible job?

Soumare is quiet and guarded with those he doesn’t trust and rarely speaks to the media, but he sat down with The Athletic to assess his career to date, and his transition from the street football of east Paris to the Premier League.

“When you come here, you have to run.”

Soumare is learning the hard way that the physicality and speed of English football, and Leicester City’s style of play in particular, requires an adaptation. Rodgers loves the high work rate and energy of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in his midfield but Soumare knows he has to find the same intensity to add to his game.

Can he help Leicester to a win over Arsenal this afternoon?

Ronaldo already broke the professional football goalscoring record yesterday – but here’s one more accolade.

Project Cobham. The most productive Premier League academy of the last five years, producing Mason Mount, Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tammy Abraham, Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja… the list goes on.

But Chelsea’s U23s are in the relegation zone of Premier League 2, the club is facing an uncertain future after sanctions on Roman Abramovich, and the path to first-team football is still long and arduous.

With other clubs circling, what next? The Athletic’s Simon Johnson reports.

Their record against top four contenders is abysmal. They’re scoring goals – but cannot grind out wins against their competitors.

What can Conte do?

Charlie Eccleshare analyses last night’s 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.

Everton winger Anthony Gordon has discussed Everton’s under-performance this season ahead of their game against Wolves on Sunday afternoon.

The club are facing genuine relegation concerns for the first time since 2003-04, having been in the hunt for the Champions League last season.

21-year-old winger Gordon made his first-team breakthrough this campaign, and has been a rare bright spot for Lampard’s side.

After Everton’s 5-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night, Lampard called him “by far and away our best player”.

Speaking about that game, Gordon revealed: “It was the lowest I’ve felt all season. We weren’t aggressive enough but it’s not one thing, it’s many things. A team of our calibre should not be experiencing this.”

Jesse Marsch’s start has been inauspicious. Victory against Norwich this afternoon is non-negotiable.

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick praised hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo after his side’s 3-2 win at Old Trafford but admitted he’s challenging to coach.

Ronaldo missed Manchester United’s 4-1 defeat by rivals City last weekend with a hip injury and flew to his native Portugal which surprised the Old Trafford dressing room.

However, any unrest appeared to be cooled on Saturday evening with Ronaldo netting a sublime hat-trick against top-four rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

The 37-year-old became the all-time top scorer in professional football by netting three goals to take his tally up to 807.

His Tottenham side lost 3-2 at Manchester United yesterday after a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick.

Speaking to reporters after the game he said: “It is very difficult to explain this loss. In a difficult stadium and a difficult atmosphere against a strong team like United.

“I think we need to show more experience, to manage some situations, because the game is, when you play a game, there are many games inside the game.

“And I think sometimes you have to understand when to push, when to increase the intensity, and when is the moment to be calm and not hurry.

“I think in this aspect we have a lot of space for improvement. You don’t buy experience, you improve your experience after these types of games. We have many young players in the team and hopefully after this game they have the possibility to learn.”

Chelsea sponsors Hyundai have suspended their deal with the club after sanctions were placed on Roman Abramovich by the UK government.

Abramovich had his British assets — including reigning European and world champions Chelsea — frozen as part of the government’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Hyundai has been Chelsea’s “official global automotive partner” since 2018.
