Roy Hodgson may fancy putting himself in midfield as he tries to keep Watford up this season, plus after winning a vital relegation scrap on Wednesday night, Sean Dyche adds insult to injury.

Ahead of their clash with Leeds United this weekend, Watford posted a video of 74-year-old Roy Hodgson whipping an inch-perfect ball to striker Joao Pedro in training.

It's caught the attention of Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who is hoping to avoid a midfield battle with the Hornets boss on the weekend.

Praying that Roy’s not playing middle of the park on the weekend haha! what a guy and what a ball by the way 🤣❤️ https://t.co/Fw66V4ffQx

As if beating a relegation rival in a huge six-pointer - with a late goal at that - wasn't enough, Sean Dyche just had to rub salt in Everton wounds. Another great escape pending for the Clarets?

🗣 “I said at half-time, I'm not sure [Everton] know how to win a game lads.”

This Wigan fan was ready at a moment's notice to answer the call of duty. Does make you wonder if he turns up to every game dressed head to toe in a goalkeeper kit though...

Francesco Totti has definitely still got it. Some of these goals from the Roma legend are unbelievable.
