da cassino： Having hoisted aloft the League Cup last weekend, Celtic return to Scottish Premiership action this forthcoming Sunday lunchtime at Tannadice.

da leao： By defeating Rangers in the League Cup Final, the Hoops now have 119 major honours to their name, one more than their fiercest rivals, boasting more trophies than the Gers for the first time since 1938.

So, as the Celts go in search of three more Premiership points this weekend, they’ll need to stop one of Scotland’s most in-form strikers to achieve this.

Sam Dalby: on fire at Dundee United

If you recognise the name Sam Dalby, perhaps it’s because you’re a fan of the popular Disney+ documentary Welcome to Wrexham, in which the striker arrives from Southend, before scoring eight goals during the 2022/23 campaign, most notably on target when the Welsh club defeated Coventry City in a massive FA Cup upset.

However, having fallen out of favour under Phil Parkinson last season, seeing less than 1,700 minutes of action across all competitions, he joined Dundee United on a season-long loan last summer and, fair to say, this is going rather well so far.

To date, Dalby has eight Scottish Premiership goals his name, all coming during his last nine appearances in the competition.

This includes scoring in four successive matches, most notably heading home the opener during a credible 1-1 draw at Ibrox, before bagging a brace last weekend at Motherwell, albeit in vain, with the Tangerines beaten 4-3 in a thriller at Fir Park.

Nevertheless, Dalby is now the top-scorer in the Premiership, two goals clear of Celtic duo Kyōgo Furuhashi and Callum McGregor, Cyriel Dessers and Václav Černý of Rangers, as well as St Johnstone’s Benjamin Mbunga Kimpioka.

Only twice before has a Dundee United player ended a season as the top-scorer in the top-flight: Kenny Cameron in 1968/69 and Andy Gray in 1974/75.

So, how do Celtic stop Scotland’s in-form striker? Well, they might just have the man to do it!

The Celtic star who can shackle Dalby

At half-time of Sunday’s League Cup Final, with Celtic a goal down and looking lethargic, Brendan Rodgers decided to substitute centre-back Auston Trusty, replacing him with Liam Scales.

Well, within 15 minutes, the Hoops had turned the tie around to lead 2-1, Greg Taylor and Daizen Maeda the scorers, with Scales’ introduction adding extra in-possession security to their play.

In recent months, the Republic of Ireland international has lost his place in the starting XI to Trusty, who’s formed an impressive partnership with fellow United States international Cameron Carter-Vickers, but how do the trio compare?

As outlined in the table, Celtic’s trio of centre-backs all have very similar statistics this season.

We know, based on four seasons of evidence, that Carter-Vickers will start if fit, which he isn’t all of the time in fairness, meaning it’s a straight fight between Scales and Trusty to be his partner.

Of the 47 matches in which they’ve both featured, Carter-Vickers and Scales have won 37 and lost only five, beaten twice by Lazio and at Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, while the other two defeats both came at the hands of Heart of Midlothian last season.

Following the League Cup Final, Rodgers praised Scales, describing him as “brilliant”, adding the decision to introduce him as a substitute was made because “we looked so clunky and couldn’t get through the pitch… I didn’t like that”.

Thus, the Irishman will be hoping to start at Tannadice this weekend, tasked with preventing the Premiership’s leading marksman from adding to his tally.

da realbet： Leeds United are now moving to sign an “unbelievable” £10 million player ahead of rivals Sheffield United, according to a recent report.

Leeds United transfer news

da jogodeouro： The Whites’ automatic promotion hopes suffered a severe blow on Saturday, as they were pegged back to 3-3 by Hull City after looking on course to seal all three points when taking a 3-1 lead with 10 minutes to go. The Yorkshire side remains top of the Championship table, and even though they are in a good position, it is expected that they look to strengthen their side this month to ensure they secure promotion.

However, Daniel Farke revealed after the draw at Hull that he doesn’t “expect much” in terms of players arriving this month. The German said that he is “not a big fan” of the January transfer window, and he is confident his squad has the quality required to hold on to their position.

Farke said: “I don’t like when the group is too big. Once everyone is fit, and you have four players for one position, it could also be negative for the spirit and the togetherness.

“If you are forced to do something due to injuries or something is really missing in the group, then you have to react, but when you’re sitting at the top of the table – there can’t be too much wrong.”

Leeds open talks to sign "unbelievable" £10m player

But while Farke says that he is not expecting much activity in terms of incomings, it has been reported by The Sun that Leeds and the 49ers have opened talks to sign Andrew Omobamidele this month.

The 22-year-old currently plays for Premier League side Nottingham Forest and has done so since September 2023, when he joined from Norwich City. Omobamidele, who has been labelled as “unbelievable” by international teammate Gavin Bazunu, played 11 times in the Premier League last season, but he has yet to feature this term.

Given that he doesn’t appear to feature in Nuno Espirito Santo’s plans, a move could be on the cards this month. The Sun reports that the Whites have now begun talks over a deal to sign the central defender. Nottingham Forest are willing to let Omobamidele leave the City Ground, with a loan and an obligation to buy a real possibility.

The Reds hope to get around £10 million for the defender, who Leeds see as a long-term investment and a player who would provide serious competition. However, they are not alone in their pursuit, as rivals Sheffield United are also keen on signing Omobamidele, but they would prefer a loan deal. So, Leeds will hope they have an edge when it comes to completing a transfer, as they may look to sign the player on a permanent basis and there is also the fact that Farke was the one who gave Omobamidele his chance at Norwich City.

da realbet： Southampton have now submitted a “formal bid” to sign a defender on a loan deal, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Glimmer of hope for Saints after Portman Road victory

da 888casino： In truth, it is going to be extremely difficult for the Saints to dig themselves out of the Premier League relegation zone between now and the end of the season, as they still remain 10 points from safety.

However, there is a glimmer of hope that survival could be achievable after a maiden victory away from home this weekend, with Ivan Juric’s side prevailing 2-1 away at fellow strugglers Ipswich Town.

The task at hand remains daunting, however, and if Southampton are to stand any chance of avoiding an immediate return to the Championship, they must improve their defensive record, having shipped 54 goals, the highest amount of any side in the league.

With that in mind, an approach has now been made to sign a new defender, as reported by Romano, who claims the bottom-placed side have submitted a “formal bid” to sign Abakar Sylla on loan from Strasbourg.

There is no buy option included in the proposal, with it likely to be a straight loan deal until the end of the season, but there may be competition for Sylla’s signature, as Serie A side Lazio have been interested in his signature since last week.

What Sylla could offer Southampton

The 22-year-old is a very impressive tackler, ranking in the 88th percentile for tackles per 90 over the past year, when compared to his positional peers, while he is also a threat at the opposite end of the pitch, placing in the 93rd percentile for non-penalty goals.

During his time with Club Brugge, the Ivorian received praise for his ability to win back possession, as well as his passing, being hailed as a “powerhouse” in the media.

As such, there are clear signs the Strasbourg ace could make a real difference for the Saints in a defensive sense, having seriously struggled to keep the opposition at bay so far this season.

The only slight concern over the signing of the centre-back will be the fact he has slipped down the pecking order at Strasbourg since the end of November, featuring for just two minutes in Ligue 1 since the turn of the year.

That said, Southampton’s options are likely to be limited, in light of their perilous league position, so it may be worth taking a risk on Sylla to try and resolve their defensive issues.

Sam Curran, Will Jacks also in the runs as Surrey post mammoth 236 for 2

Laurie Evans celebrates his century•Getty Images

A record-breaking batting performance from Laurie Evans and his Surrey teammates set up a 65-run victory against Glamorgan in their Vitality Blast match in Cardiff.Evans made the highest score against Glamorgan and the highest score on this ground as Surrey also set a record total at Sophia Gardens.With Sam Curran and Will Jacks both making runs, Surrey set Glamorgan a target of 237 to win. This was a hard enough task but with big hitting all-rounder Dan Douthwaite unable to bat, having only managing to bowl 10 balls before he left the field, it became even harder.Glamorgan eventually reached 171 for 8 as Surrey closed out a comfortable win with Sam Northeast’s 76 the only significant score from the home side.Surrey won the toss and elected to bat and were electrifying from the start of their innings. Jacks gave Evans great support in an opening stand that brought 115 runs from just 64 balls. Jacks was dismissed when he was trapped lbw by Glamorgan’s Australian leg-spinner Peter Hatzoglou for 46 from 29 balls.While Evans had been the aggressor in his stand with Jacks it was Curran who took on the role when he walked into bat at three. In innings that was full of outrageous shots, seven of which were smoked over the boundary for six, it was the three balls Curran hit over the rope in Prem Sisodiya’s final over that will live longest in the memory. The last of these was a shot where Curran danced down the pitch a long way from where the ball pitched and still managed to straight drive it for six.It was in that same Sisodiya over that Glamorgan nearly had some respite from the partnership between Curran and Evans, but Kiran Carlson, playing with a dislocated finger he sustained in Sunday’s match against Sussex, put down a catch at long on when Evans was on 94.Evans made the most of his chance to score his third hundred in T20 cricket and his first for Surrey. His career best 118 not out came from 60 balls and contained 12 fours and six sixes.Curran departed in the final over, caught by Colin Ingram at long on going for another six, as Surrey posted 236 for 2, the highest total made on this ground, going past the 216 for 5 that Glamorgan made against Hampshire in 2019.Glamorgan were left with a near insurmountable task of going at nearly 12 runs an over from the very start of their innings and they were two wickets down inside the powerplay with Carlson and Callum Taylor both falling inside the first six overs.Glamorgan came into this match with four wins from five matches and most of that success has been down to the form of Ingram and Chris Cooke. There was a rare failure for both of them with Ingram dismissed for 11 by Sunil Narine and Cooke clean bowled by Gus Atkinson for 12.With Cooke and Ingram gone it was left to Northeast to try and bring some respectability to the Glamorgan total and his half-century the only bright spot on a tough day for his side.

da stake casino： Football’s a funny business. Liverpool entered the January transfer window reciting the usual mantra: Arne Slot’s squad is talented and deep and capable, FSG would only act if that perfect market opportunity arose.

da bet7： Well, it has. Though the club’s most pressing concerns in terms of transfer dealings are spread across the backline, Liverpool are ready to pounce and sign one of Europe’s most talented left-wingers, for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia may be on the move this month.

Liverpool's January transfer plans

On Thursday, it emerged that Paris Saint-Germain are seeking to sign Kvaratskhelia from Napoli this winter and that the Georgian is open to leaving the first-placed Serie A side.

Napoli are looking to bank €80m (£68m) for their prized forward, and despite this, Liverpool have made their interest known and are weighing up a stunning hijack, as per The Athletic.

The Premier League leaders are already well stocked up top, but this could be an opportunity too good to pass – as well as hinting at Darwin Nunez or Federico Chiesa’s potential sale, both having been linked with exits.

Kvaratskhelia would be an incredible addition, but Cody Gakpo’s recent form does give rise to the notion that the 23-year-old might not even earn a starting role from the offing.

Slot has hit gold on Cody Gakpo

Gakpo, 26, is playing the best football of his Liverpool career under Slot’s leadership, turning into one of Liverpool’s biggest goal threats and forging a neat connection with Mohamed Salah, who has assisted the 26-year-old nine times already, the third-highest total in the Egyptian’s Reds career.

It’s all worked out quite well. Gakpo spent the early months of the campaign battling with Luis Diaz for the left wing spot in the Premier League but has now made it his own with the Colombian’s multi-faceted skills serving him well in a kind of makeshift, Firmino-esque focal role.

Liverpool flattered to deceive against Tottenham last time out but you can’t argue against Gakpo’s role in the overall success this year, especially when noting that he has sharpened an already keen attacking edge to a piercing point.

Stats via Transfermarkt

One of the most important points of improvement this term has been through Slot’s (correct) assessment that Gakpo is at his fearsome best when deployed on the left flank, owing to his precision finishing and expert inswinging ability on the ball.

All 18 of the Dutchman’s starting berths have been handed on the left flank this season, and he’s beginning to show why there was such a furore across the globe when he starred at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, alerting Liverpool to his skills.

The £68m-rated Kvaratskhelia would be a credit to Liverpool’s frontline, perhaps even a necessary signing if one of Nunez or Chiesa is to be sold this year, but Gakpo is thriving right now, with his quality too great to see him relegated to a lesser role.

In fact, as per CIES Football Observatory, the Netherlands international – who The Athletic’s Carl Anka has labelled a “superstar” – is currently valued at £91m, a higher valuation by the club’s current top target of some £23m.

Slot has hit the jackpot with this one. A new addition up front would be fantastic to propel Liverpool toward success this season, but if FSG fail, they are in good hands with Gakpo in the mix – and thriving.

وتمكن الهولندي من التتويج ببطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز لأول مرة في تاريخه وفي أول موسم له بالبطولة مع ليفربول ليعادل الريدز رقم مانشستر يونايتد كأكثر الأندية تتويجًا باللقب على مر التاريخ.

وقال داجليش في تصريحات لموقع ليفربول الرسمي: “لقد حقق اللاعبون أداءً رائعًا العام الماضي، أيضًا انضمام آرني في عامه الأول كان مميزًا بالنسبة له أيضًا ورائعًا في طريقة قيادته للاعبين الجدد”.

وأكمل: “كانت وظيفة جيدة، أعلم أن يورجن رحل، وكان ناجحًا للغاية في ليفربول، وكان مدربًا رائعًا بطريقته الخاصة، لكن آرني مختلف، لا يزال مدربًا رائعًا، لقد كان أداءهم رائعًا العام الماضي، ونحن نتطلع إلى العام الجديد”.

وأردف: “من الأفضل أن تتولى مسؤولية فريق جيد خلفًا ليورجن، أعتقد أنني أفضل أن يكون لدي فريق جيد بدلًا من أن أضطر لبناء فريق من الصفر، الآن، بعد أن رآهم وألقى نظرة، ربما بدأ يفكر في إجراء بعض التغييرات لضم اللاعبين الذين سينفذون طريقته وأسلوبه بشكل مثالي، وأعتقد أن تعامله رائع في هذا الأمر”.

وأتم عن سلوت: “لقد كان عليه أن يتابع مسيرته بثبات، وقد نجح في ذلك، أنا متأكد من أننا جميعًا نتطلع إلى الموسم المقبل، يُقال إن الأشخاص الجيدين لا يفوزون عادةً، لكنني لا أعتقد ذلك، أتمنى له التوفيق هذا العام لأنه يستحق”.

da realbet： Arsenal now hold an advantage over Barcelona in the race to sign an “amazing” £50m forward this month, according to a report.

Arsenal eyeing new forward

da realsbet： The Gunners are in need of additional attacking options, with both Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling currently sidelined, so Mikel Arteta will be looking to strengthen his side in the January transfer window.

Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku has been identified as a potential option for Arteta, and the forward is now believed to be keen on moving to the Emirates Stadium, although there will be competition for his signature from Paris Saint-Germain.

Matheus Cunha is another Premier League player on Arteta’s shortlist, having been potent in front of goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers so far this season, while Arsenal are also chasing RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that the Gunners were in pole position for Athletic Club’s Nico Williams for a potential January move, and there has now been a new update on their pursuit.

According to reports from Spain, Arsenal are determined to strengthen their attack this winter, meaning they have now set their sights on Williams, who is valued at around £50m by his current employers.

There will be competition for the Spaniard’s signature, with Barcelona also in the frame, but there is a feeling that Arteta’s side could hold an advantage over the La Liga club.

The Gunners have an advantage over Barca in terms of money, and they can offer the 22-year-old the opportunity to be a part of an exciting project in the Premier League, which could be a decisive factor in his decision.

Exciting news for Arsenal

With Saka out injured, there could be no better player to come in on the right flank than Williams, considering just how impressive he has been for Athletic Club over the course of the past few seasons.

The Spain international chalked up a remarkable 14 assists in the previous campaign, and his versatility could also make him an attractive option for Arteta, given that he is clearly able to play on both wings, having done so regularly in La Liga.

The BBC’s John Bennett was also full of praise for the attacker for his performances in Euro 2024, saying:

As such, it is exciting news that Arsenal could be well-placed to beat Barcelona to Williams’ signature this month.
