Hugo Lloris: Mauricio Pochettino backs Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper and he will play against Crystal Palace

Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed Hugo Lloris will start in goal for Tottenham Hotspur against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Lloris’ late blunder led to Toby Alderweireld’s own goal at Liverpool on Sunday that cost them a draw.

2

The goalkeeper has been criticised for his recent form and it has led to calls for him to be replaced.

Pochettino, though, has backed his under-fire goalkeeper.

“He is my captain, he is one of the best keepers in the world. That is not in doubt,” the Tottenham manager said.

2

“Hugo is one of the best and he is going to be in goal tomorrow.

“It is a situation that is so painful because we deserved more.

“We have to be strong and back our players. Hugo is going to be great for us and will be one of the most important players for the future of the club.”

Spurs will play the first competitive match at their new stadium on Wednesday.

They face Crystal Palace at the £1billion arena as they look to secure Champions League for the 2019/20 season.

Women’s World Cup 2019: Who are the Lionesses’ superstars to watch out for in France?

England’s preparations for the Women’s World Cup are nearly finished and there is a real optimism that Phil Neville’s side can achieve something great in the tournament.

The Lionesses triumphed in the SheBelieves Cup in the United States, winning the competition ahead of the hosts, who are ranked No.1 in the world.

Getty

7

England finished third at the last World Cup in 2015, and, despite the absence of key midfielder Jordan Nobbs, the team is littered with a number of talented stars.

But who are the key players in the side? talkSPORT.com has given our verdict…

---

Keira Walsh

Walsh enjoyed a fine season in the holding midfield role for Man City as they finished runners up in the league.

She has been an assured presence in front of the defence and even chipped in with one goal and five assists in 19 appearances –  a decent return for a defensive minded player.

The 22-year-old made her debut for England in a World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan in 2017 and has since emerged as one of Neville’s most important players.

7

Nobbs, speaking to Sky Sports, has admitted Walsh’s passing ability will be crucial to how England fare in the competition.

“The way that we want to play, we need that midfielder who can make passes long and short. She created a goal for Beth Mead in the SheBelieves Cup with a 40-yard diagonal.

“We need players to step up and she has been one of those players. I hope I can play alongside her in the years to come.”

Nikita Parris

Parris has risen to be one of the most prolific strikers in the women’s game and she spearheaded Manchester City to victory in both domestic major cup competitions this term.

The 25-year-old scored a stunning 19 goals in 19 games in a stellar campaign in the league.

7

She has also been snapped up by the Lyon – the current Champions League holders after thrashing Barcelona – and her confidence should be sky high after securing that move.

Parris goes into the tournament in good nick, too, having scored in the SheBelieves Cup and in the warm-up game against Denmark.

Beth Mead

Mead is another who has come on leaps and bounds under Neville’s management and she was another player who was very impressive in the SheBelieves Cup.

It was the 24-year-old’s wonderstrike that saw England overcome Brazil and she hit the back of the net against Japan too.

7

Before Mead moved to Arsenal, she was a prolific striker for Sunderland but she is also hugely versatile, having featured mainly on the wing under Neville.

Alongside Parris up front, the duo can be lethal in attack for the Lionesses at this World Cup.

Lucy Bronze

If England are to go all the way in France it’s likely the Lyon ace will be a key factor.

She was the heiress to Alex Scott’s role at right-back and has gone on to become one of the world’s finest in her position, while Lionesses boss Neville has taken to playing her in midfield too, such is her exceptional quality.

Getty Images

7

Since moving to Lyon she’s added more trophies to her already impressive haul with Liverpool and Manchester City.

As well as three Women’s Super Leagues, she’s now got two French league titles under her belt and won the Champions League twice.

Don’t be surprised if she pops up with a goal or two either. In the 2015 World Cup she netted against Canada and Norway, while she was shortlisted for the Golden Ball at the tournament too.

Steph Houghton

“We’ve got a real mix of experience and talent at the World Cup,” says talkSPORT’s World Cup reporter Faye Carruthers.

“Houghton (105 caps) is the captain and has a wealth of experience behind her given that she’s the Manchester City captain, too. She’s a central defender, so her marshalling of everyone and influence on the pitch is really important.”

Getty Images

7

A warrior on the pitch, Houghton is one of the Lionesses many history makers and in October 2014 was the first woman to be on the cover of Shoot Magazine, a huge step for the women’s game which now regularly features in the publication and other similar titles.

The 31-year-old has 11 major domestic trophies to her name, while she has been a standout performer in England’s success in recent years.

Watch out for set-pieces, she may be a centre-back but she’s got a great free-kick on her – as she showed against America in the SheBelieves Cup.

Fran Kirby

Hailed ‘Mini Messi’ at the 2015 World Cup by then-manager Mark Sampson, Kirby has gone onto big things with Chelsea.

At the last tournament injury curtailed her campaign as she was ruled out from the quarter-finals onwards, unable to help her team-mates who eventually finished third.

Getty Images

7

This time out, with two stunning domestic seasons under her belt, she’s likely to play a big role for the Lionesses with her current boss also lavishing praise on her.

After watching his side beat Brazil last October he claimed he’s rather have her in his team than six-time Player of the Year Marta.

“I’d take my No 10 over Brazil’s No 10, that’s for sure,” he said.

“I don’t think Fran realises how much she can keep going, she doesn’t realise her full potential yet.”

If she can focus in France then the World Cup may well be coming home.

Championship round-up: Reading get last-gasp draw at Norwich, Sheffield United held by Birmingham, Aston Villa earn seventh straight win

Following a busy night of EFL Championship action on Tuesday, there were six more games on Wednesday.

Below you can see the best of the action from the second tier.

Andy Rinomhota snatched a dramatic injury-time equaliser to earn Reading a point in a 2-2 draw with Championship leaders Norwich at Carrow Road.

3

Yakou Meite’s 30th-minute goal looked like giving the struggling Royals an unlikely victory until late-goal specialists Norwich did it again.

Centre-back Ben Godfrey produced a superb finish in the 86th minute to equalise and two minutes later Christoph Zimmermann put the leaders ahead.

That looked to be that, but seven minutes into stoppage time Rinomhota guided the ball into the far corner, bringing Norwich’s eight-game winning run to an end.

Sheffield United had the chance to leapfrog Leeds into second place and close the gap to Norwich but they were held to a 1-1 draw by Birmingham.

3

Enda Stevens gave the Blades the lead in the 38th minute but Michael Morrison levelled four minutes later.

An eventful evening in Rotherham ended with 10-man Aston Villa securing a seventh consecutive win.

Tammy Abraham’s early penalty miss looked very costly when Tyrone Mings was penalised for handball in the other area and shown a second yellow card, with Will Vaulks converting.

But a third penalty was awarded just after the break, this time Rotherham defender Semi Ajayi being penalised for handball and Jonathan Kodjia succeeded where Abraham had failed.

3

Three minutes later a fine individual goal from Jack Grealish put Villa ahead and they held on for a 2-1 victory.

Brentford won for the first time in six matches, 2-0 against bottom side Ipswich, who are now hanging on to their Championship status by their fingernails.

Neal Maupay’s 25th goal of the season in the 20th minute put the Bees ahead and Ollie Watkins doubled the advantage eight minutes later.

An 89th-minute goal from Jordy de Wijs earned Hull a 2-1 victory over struggling Wigan, who had led through Nick Powell before Fraizer Campbell equalised.

Millwall picked up a potentially valuable point in a 0-0 draw with QPR.

Lloyd Kelly: Bournemouth complete signing of England Under-21 defender from Bristol City

Bournemouth have signed England Under-21 defender Lloyd Kelly from Bristol City, the Premier League club have confirmed.

Kelly, 20, joins the Cherries for an undisclosed fee, understood to be around £13million, and has signed a long-term deal at the Vitality Stadium.

Kelly, who can play at left-back as well as central defence, came through the Bristol City youth ranks and made 48 appearances for the club.

“The move has come around quite quickly, but I’m happy to be here and can’t wait to start playing,” Kelly told afcbTV.

“Premier League football is what I’ve always wanted to achieve. I want to play as many games as possible and I feel like this is the right place for me to try and do that.”

Kelly was attracting interest from a number of top flight clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, with the youngster known to have been scouted by Liverpool.

The Reds were reported to have identified Kelly as one of their prime transfer targets, but they’ve been beaten to the punch by Eddie Howe’s side.

And the Bournemouth manager feels there is plenty more to come from Bristol-born defender Kelly.

“Lloyd is an exciting talent and a player of real potential, while at the same time already possessing good experience for someone so young,” Howe said.

“He is athletic, versatile, physically excellent and has a very bright future ahead of him.

“I am delighted that we have been able to strike so early in the summer and look forward to working with Lloyd during the coming seasons.”
