Sign up now!While it was hardly Boca Juniors v River Plate at La Bombonera, Sunday’s eagerly anticipated match between Liverpool and Manchester City rated about 8.5 on the official Football Daily feist-o-meter by the Premier League’s comparatively tame standards. The visitors walked out to a loud chorus of pantomime booing and some mildly amusing banners reminding them of their serial cheating, there was some defiant “doing” of the Poznan in the away end and … er, that was about it.

Starting positions at centre-back and No 10 are up for grabs, while Sarina Wiegman’s future continues to be in the airEngland have two jobs to do on Tuesday. The first, avoiding an almighty upset and progressing past Greece on aggregate in their Women’s World Cup playoff to reach a final tie, should be a formality for one of the world’s best-resourced teams. The second, honing their style to play like contenders for next summer’s World Cup in Brazil, is a far trickier but crucial challenge.Friday’s relatively uninspiring 3-1 first-leg victory in Crete left room for improvement and England had plenty to work on as they trained at St George’s Park on Monday under gloomy-looking clouds. More broadly, over the next eight months, there are six questions facing the European champions. Continue reading...
