Will that perturb them? A little, perhaps, but not a lot. What they did on Thursday was a cause for cheer. Rangers are due great credit for bouncing back from the angst of Sunday's League Cup final. Morelos is due the greatest credit of all. A player who missed so many chances against Celtic, and who missed another decent one early on against Young Boys, brushed it all aside to get the pivotal goal.

So why this shortage of goals? Well, it cannot help that they simply do not shoot enough. Their tally of 247 efforts is the joint fewest in the top flight - level with Newcastle and Sheffield United having played a game more - and they also got the joint fewest on target - 79, level with Sheffield United. Only once in their past 20 league outings have they managed more than four attempts on target.
A pretty decent goal, too. That shot coming back off the post was all part of Marcelo Bielsa’s devious plan, which we mortals could not hope to understand. Leeds could have had more — just Patrick Bamford things — but that goal went unanswered and opens up a five-point cushion in second place. Which will come in handy next time they walk out onto the pitch looking absolutely knackered.

Zlatan does it very openly, speaks very confidently - and at times it is arrogance, but that is what he is. He used to be like that on a daily basis and would ask me questions such as: 'What is Didier Drogba like?' I would go into detail about what he is good at and Zlatan would be like, 'He is not as good as me' and would make you laugh. They were both very professional on and off the field. The way they looked after their bodies with recovery, knowledge of nutrition.

Nimes head to the clash placed 18th on 27 points while Marseille are second on 52 points. For Nimes, the 2-1 loss to third placed Rennes prevented them from pulling away from the red zone and now they have to do it all over again against a side with fading title ambitions. They conceded really late after they seemed to be forcing a draw, having scored early, though a second half red card to Tony Briancon didn’t help.

The Premier League declined to comment on Sunday night.
Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Manchester City 4-0 Fulham They also never give up until the very end, and there is no way they will let their standards drop in the Premier League just because Liverpool have got a big lead at the top at the moment. I think that is a good approach to have, because they still have three other trophies to go for in the next four months. The league title looks like it will end up at Anfield but if City can have some success in the cup competitions - which I think they will - then it will still be a successful season for them.
