Wilfred Ndidi has probably got a little tired of hearing N'Golo Kante's name over the past couple of years. After all, since the 22-year-old defensive midfielder joined Leicester in January 2017 he has regularly found himself compared to the Chelsea midfielder, who was an instrumental part of the Foxes' title-winning team in 2015-16. But maybe now is the time for the comparisons to stop. Ndidi is not just filling the void left by Kante, he has developed into one of the best players in his position and is arguably the fulcrum in a Leicester team that is fighting for a top-four finish in the Premier League and at one stage looked like battling with Liverpool for top spot.

Ronaldo is the only other player to score more, with 90 goals in his last 88 Champions League games. The three are in a league of their own. The next top goalscorer is Karim Benzema on 38. This season Lewandowski has scored 10 Champions League goals in five games (he was an unused substitute in the final match against Tottenham), an average of one every 44 minutes. That puts him two above Erling Braut Haaland (more on him soon) with Harry Kane next on six.
We know men in particular can be reluctant to talk about the subject, so it is important we use football as a vehicle to stress the importance of mental fitness," FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said. Godric Smith, chair of the Heads Up campaign, added: "The FA Cup is a competition for everyone - for clubs big and small - and we want to use its power to help show that we all have mental health and that we can all take a minute to focus on how we can start to improve it.

Celtic were "fortunate" to survive a Rangers bombardment and lift the League Cup with 10 men, says manager Neil Lennon. Lennon's side clinched a fourth League Cup in a row as Christopher Jullien's goal settled a dramatic final.

This team just doesn't know when it's beaten," Lennon told BBC Scotland.
The last three games have seen them score just once, though two have been played away from home. Their home form had seen them win six and draw two, before losing their final home fixture 2-1 to Barnsley. They won 14 home league games and with 44 goals were the joint highest scorers with West Brom. That includes a 3-1 home victory over Swansea City, Ollie Watkins scored twice in that match and the Bees will be hoping their top scorer will rediscover his scoring boots.
His comments may have come as a surprise for some, as Foden had not started a single game for City since October.

Watford started the second half more aggressively and went close when forward Gerard Deulofeu's shot from distance drifted inches away from goal in the 53rd minute. They could have stolen the points late on but for goalkeeper Vicente Guaita's heroics. The result denied Palace a third consecutive league win but Roy Hodgson will be pleased with his defence for keeping another clean sheet -- their third in as many matches -- ahead of next weekend's home game against Brighton & Hove Albion.

After the 0-0 draw against Wolves, United do not play again until 17 February, when they visit Chelsea, the team currently in the fourth spot which, in terms of the Premier League, is now Solskjaer's target.

TALKING POINTS Is the Premier League any good?
