Man City v Tottenham score predicted by simulation ahead of Premier League clash

Harry Kane on social media after the Tottenham Hotspur man took one of the worst set-pieces of his life against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on Tuesday.Antonio Conte's side were dumped out of the competition in extra-time thanks to a late strike from Josh Coburn, but nothing encapsulated their evening like Kane's second-half free-kick.Over the past couple of seasons the England captain has transformed himself into a more dynamic, all-round player who can do a bit of pretty much everything.He's turned into Tottenham's best creator and has developed a passing range that few other strikers around the world can match.But he clearly needs to work on his free-kicks a bit more and Spurs fans will be hiding behind the sofa the next time he decides to one after witnessing his laughable effort at the Riverside Stadium.The away fans held their breath as Kane stepped up from 25-yards out, but the England man slipped over and saw his lifeless effort puff itself into the Middlesbrough wall."That's the worst Kane free kick yet, and that's saying something," one Tottenham fan tweeted.Where will Harry Kane be playing football next season? Let us know in the comments section below..."I love him but it should be illegal for Harry Kane to ever take a free kick outside of the training ground," said another."You're so good at everything at Harry, just not free-kicks.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa is closing in on a new club after agreeing a deal with Brazilian side Corinthians.The 33-year-old has been a free agent ever since his contract with Atletico Mineiro was terminated six weeks ago.Costa had only spent a few months with the club, netting seven goals in 26 games to guide them to their first league title for over 50 years.According to reports, he'd been holding out for a move back to Europe, where he had successful stints with both Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, and had been shelving offers from various clubs while "waiting for one in particular that never came."But after considering his options, the Brazilian-born Spain international has opted to join Corinthians where he'll play under former Porto and Fenerbahce boss Vitor Pereira.It's understood that he's asking for wages of around £46,000-a-week and will sign an 18 month deal with the Sao Paulo-based side.Costa was linked with a move back to the Premier League in January, with Arsenal and Newcastle United among the interested clubs, but a transfer never materialised.Could Diego Costa do a better job up front for Chelsea than Romelu Lukaku? Let us know in the comments section...The bruiser spent three seasons at Stamford Bridge, winning two Premier League titles and a League Cup during his short but memorable stint in English football.He developed a reputation for being a 'master of the dark arts' and frequently clashed with opponents and got into scuffles - though curiously he was never sent off as a Chelsea player.Costa bagged 59 goals in 120 matches for the Blues and quickly endeared himself to fans, before being controversially exiled by Antonio Conte in 2017 and eventually sold back to Atletico Madrid.

Leeds struggled throughout February as Bielsa's side suffered embarrassing defeats to Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham in quick succession.Tottenham proved to be the breaking point for the Argentine as Leeds shipped four to Antonio Conte's side on a dismal Saturday lunchtime.Three quick-fire goals inside the first 30 minutes pushed the game away from Leeds before Son Heung-min rounded off the clash for Spurs.However, Bielsa had been hoping to turn the season around, deflecting any suggestions he was ready to walk away from the Yorkshire side.Leeds chairman Andrea Radrizzani said: “This has been the toughest decision I have had to make during my tenure at Leeds United, taking into account all the success Marcelo has had at the club.“With Marcelo as our head coach, we had three incredible campaigns and the good times returned to Elland Road.

Tottenham are desperate to beat Newcastle to the signature of Lille defender Sven Botman - in order to satisfy Antonio Conte. The Italian coach is still to be convinced that the club’s hierarchy will back him, as promised, in the transfer market after a mixed January window.And that makes the North Londoners’ pursuit of a left-footed, left-sided centre-half - as Conte is demanding they get him - an absolute priority this summer.Dutchman Botman, 22, fits the criteria perfectly - and the Tottenham boss has already given his seal of approval to targeting him.Which is cranking up the pressure on his chairman Daniel Levy to strike a £30million deal with the French club before Newcastle do.Most assume the Magpies, who narrowly failed to bring Botman to St James' Park last month, are favourites to succeed next time round - as long as they stay in the Premier League.Spurs, though, are in no mood to step aside as they fight to persuade Conte they do mean business when it comes to being an authentic top-four contender.The ex-Chelsea manager’s constant conflicting messages about the state of the Spurs squad is causing huge concern within the boardroom that they may lose one of the game’s elite coaches.Will Conte still be at Spurs next summer?

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have now combined for more Premier League goals than any other duo in the competition's history following Tottenham's 4-0 demolition of Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday.Kane and Son both got on the scoresheet, as did Matt Doherty and Dejan Kulusevski, as Antonio Conte's side rained more misery down on Marcelo Bielsa.For Tottenham's fourth and final goal, Son received a lofted pass from Kane before coolly finishing past Illan Meslier, which was the 37th time either man has assisted the other in the league.They've now pulled away from Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba's total of 36 - a record which had stood for nearly a decade.Speaking to BT Sport about becoming the division's most prolific partnership, Son said:"It is a big honour. The record is important but the three points are too because the result in midweek was not the best."We take the record but most important thing is three points."It is always a tough place to come here and we needed to show character and responsibility.

Should Chelsea sell Romelu Lukaku? Have your say in the comments section.Now he's out of the team and I can't see him getting back in against Liverpool at Wembley.At times the other day against Lille in the Champions League, when he was on the bench, some of Chelsea's football was outstanding.The movement from Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech was absolutely outstanding. I haven't seen that from Chelsea for a while - and I don't think Thomas Tuchel will play Lukaku now against Liverpool. Virgil van Dijk had Lukaku in his pocket when they played at Anfield, and it was Havertz who scored in that game.Havertz brings a lot more to the party at the moment.
