Jonny has returned from holiday and hopes that the colour of the confetti raining down on the winner of Sunday's EFL Cup Final is as red as he is after experiencing the southeast Asia climate, despite his criticism of the competition and the design of its trophy.

Liverpool take on Chelsea in the fixture to decide where the first piece of domestic silverware will be awarded. However, an injury crisis is in full swing at Anfield, will Jurgen Klopp be able to begin his swansong in fine voice? Or will it be Mauricio Pochettino who will take home the prize, beginning a revival era at Stamford Bridge?

After Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed his minority takeover of Manchester United this week and stated that the North of England is in need of a national stadium, does the British tycoon have a point in all of this? Should the Red Devils receive some government support in building their new home? And do they even need a brand-new ground?
