News is reaching us that former England striker and manager Kevin Keegan has been diagnosed with cancer.

Keegan had an illustrious playing career which included spells at Liverpool, Hamburg and Newcastle United, while he twice won the European Footballer of the Year award.

He moved into management after ending his playing career and had stints in charge of Newcastle United, Fulham, England and Manchester City.

"Kevin was recently admitted to hospital for further evaluation of ongoing abdominal symptoms," the 74-year-old's family said in a statement.

"These investigations have revealed a diagnosis of cancer, for which Kevin will undergo treatment.

"Kevin is grateful to the medical team for their intervention and ongoing care.

"During this difficult time, the family are requesting privacy, and will be making no further comment."

We won't get the team for another 10 minutes or so but Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes were all in the Manchester United squad that walked into the dressing rooms at Turf Moor just now.

Chelsea

New Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior, speaking to Sky Sports: "Super excited. I can't wait. As a young man I have always wanted to be a coach, I've talked about it a lot. For this opportunity to come up at this stage of my career is great but my biggest focus is not about being Chelsea manager, it's about being a winning Chelsea manager, and that is the message that I gave the players yesterday when I was fortunate enough to meet them for the first time. We need to hit the ground running for the rest of the season."

On why he is not taking charge v Fulham tonight: "Travel, but mainly the fact that Calum [McFarlane] did such an incredible job against Manchester City. I thought the performance of the players, certainly in the second half, the energy, the intensity, the quality that they played with. Not just Calum but Harry as well, they have supported the lads in a really difficult moment in a really good way.

"I flew in from Strasbourg yesterday morning, so it is a difficult time frame for me to get in the tactical work I want to get into to get the lads to give them the best possible chance to win. I've got full faith in Calum and the lads to win tonight."

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to Sky Sports about starting defender Max Alleyne after he was recalled from his loan with Watford: "We have a lot of absences in central defenders. Nico O'Reilly in the last week has a lot of problems with fatigue and niggles. That's why we bring him [Alleyne] back. We know him from one or two seasons. He's ready."

Three games is hardly a barren run for a striker, but it is when Erling Haaland is concerned.

The Norway goal machine has netted a sensational 38 goals in just 31 games for club and country this season, but comes into this one on the back of a sticky patch.

Haaland has failed to score against Nottingham Forest, Sunderland and Chelsea - with City dropping four points during that run.

The striker could end the night without scoring in four straight games...for the first time in his career.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been talking about naming Manchester City-bound Antoine Semenyo in his starting XI.

"I think he has performed really well and he will give everything I have no doubt," he said.

New Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has arrived at Craven Cottage with the team.

The 41-year-old will only watch the match from afar as he didn't have time to get in and conduct a pre-match training session.

Caretaker manager Calum McFarlane, promoted from the Under-21s, will lead the team once again before Rosenior takes the team permanently on Thursday in his first training session.

Rosenior addressed the squad in the team meeting on Tuesday and will pick his first eleven at Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.

West Ham's defeat at home to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday means they are seven points from safety. Burnley will climb above the Hammers if they return to winning ways against Manchester United.

And Leeds will move 11 points clear of the relegation zone if they win at Newcastle.

Has there been a more dramatic start to a calendar year?

After Enzo Maresca left Chelsea on New Year's Day, Manchester United and Ruben Amorim went their separate ways on Monday.

Will there be more departures over the next few days?

Scott Parker is one boss of several bosses crying out for a win. His Burnley side have not won since October, have lost nine of their last 11, and are hurtling towards relegation. Tonight they host managerless Manchester United.

Arsenal do not play Liverpool until Thursday so a chance for both Manchester City and Aston Villa to move three points behind the leaders.

Chelsea, with new boss Liam Rosenior watching from the stand, will move into the top four with a win at local rivals Fulham.

The winners of Brentford and Sunderland, who meet at the Gtech, could end the night in the top five depending on results elsewhere.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank, speaking to Sky Sports, about the sad passing of club legend Martin Chivers: "He's one of our true legends winning three big titles, one of our top scorers. All our thoughts go to the family and their loved ones."

Who will be Manchester United's next permanent boss? Have Chelsea made the right choice in appointing Liam Rosenior as Enzo Maresca's replacement? Are Bournemouth, who are desperate for points, right to start Manchester City-bound Antoine Semenyo tonight? And is Scott Parker skating on thin ice at Burnley?

Please do let us know your views on all the above and much more.

On BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club former top flight striker Chris Sutton said the biggest challenge Liam Rosenior will encounter at Chelsea is switching to taking charge of players who have "won World Cups, are worth millions and players who have big egos and back themselves".

"I just hope it's a move which doesn't swallow him up or have a negative effect on his coaching career. I'm not saying it will because he's a super smart guy," he added.

Leeds have come away from Anfield, the Stadium of Light and the Gtech Community Stadium with a well-earned point on each occasion in recent weeks.

No wonder, then, manager Daniel Farke vowed “we won’t make it easy” for Newcastle.

That is not in doubt.

Manchester City starting line-up includes debutant Max Alleyne, but who is the defender?

The highly-rated England Under-21 international joined City from Southampton's academy in 2021 for a reported £1.5m fee and is described as a "cultured and ball-playing" centre-back.

The 20-year-old has sporting pedigree running in his family, with his father being former England cricket all-rounder and current Gloucestershire coach Mark Alleyne.

Boss Pep Guardiola recalled the young centre-back from a loan spell at Watford following injuries to Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol - with the latter set for surgery after breaking his shinbone.
