LEICESTER CITY 1-1 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR - MATT BARLOW AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: Jamie Vardy, remember him? Tottenham Hotspur would prefer to forget but last night at the age of 37 he was back to bother them again with his own very special brand of menace. No house party this time. No wild kitchen celebrations as there were on that night in the spring of 2016 when Tottenham's challenge was ended by a Chelsea comeback and handed the title to Claudio Ranieri's 5,000/1 outsiders.

COMMENT BY IAN LADYMAN: Shortly after Chelsea signed Raheem Sterling on the say-so of manager Thomas Tuchel two years ago, he made his Premier League debut on the opening day of the 2022-23 season in a game at Everton. There were 20 players in the squad on that early August day. Eleven starters and nine substitutes. On Sunday - as Sterling watched his club's game against Manchester City from his home in London - only one of those players had survived. The Spanish defender Marc Cucurella was a substitute two years ago and started the weekend defeat against City. So there you have the modern Chelsea. Not so much a football club as a sporting version of the waltzer, a wild ride from which anybody can be thrown at any time and from which just about everybody will at some point.

City have maintained all summer that they are happy with the current squad and any transfer business is likely to come from an unexpected developing situation later in the window.

Homegrown Gallagher was in the Spanish capital last week but returned to London when his proposed transfer was complicated by Chelsea's talks over Atletico's Samu Omorodion collapsing.

The development comes after he was surprisingly dropped for the clash against the Citizens on Sunday - a verdict that shocked many supporters.

JACK GAUGHAN: Raspeballs. Heard of them? Probably not. A Scandinavian potato dumpling with flour, butter and some meat. It's basic stuff but basic stuff is what Erling Haaland devours.
