Manchester derby: Fixed v fluid - opposite approaches Maresca and Carrick are taking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are many things that Manchester City and Manchester United have in common - but one thing decisively separates them this season. Based just five miles apart and united by a shared desire to return to the top of the Premier League, their gameplans are almost diametrically opposed. The best teams in the world often play in similar ways, as demonstrated in last season's Champions League final between between Paris St-Germain and Arsenal - teams who use similar shapes, look to dominate the bal
Harry Kane: Europe's top scorer plays like a midfielder - we asked him to break down his game (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Harry Kane's career has progressed, the 33-year-old has taken an increasingly complete role, popping up to collect the ball as deep as his own box. Many wonder why a talisman tasked with scoring doesn't spend more time closer to goal, but last season the England and Bayern Munich striker scored 73 goals - the highest tally of his career - while playing deeper than he ever has done.

Read excerpt
It all felt rather familiar as England exited the World Cup with a 2-1 semi-final defeat by Argentina. Too pragmatic, poor use of substitutes, sitting back too deep and when faced with their first real big opponent of the tournament, a crushing defeat. All well-known - if at times perhaps unfair - criticisms of Sir Gareth Southgate's England teams. But this was under the management of Thomas Tuchel, the German brought in to signal a change of approach for England - one that was supposed to bring
England v Norway tactics: How can Thomas Tuchel disrupt World Cup opponents - and Erling Haaland? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Norway may have been touted by many as this World Cup's dark horse, but their impressive progress still feels like they have exceeded expectations. Since finishing second in Group I, above Senegal, they have knocked out Ivory Coast and Brazil, scoring 12 goals across five games. Now they face England who are tasked with nullifying a strong Norway side spearheaded by star striker Erling Haaland. So, what do Norway do best and what might England boss Thomas Tuchel look to tweak in order to see his
