Market: Sergio Aguero to be top goalscorer
Odds:
With Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero scoring all four goals in the Sky Blues’ 4-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur, the Argentine international is now level on goals with Chelsea’s Diego Costa (9), and the latter is currently sidelined with injury, so Aguero has a chance to pull clear in the scoring charts.
Behind Aguero Costa is Southampton’s summer signing Graziano Pelle with six goals in eight games but he’s played 181 more minutes than Aguero this campaign already. Manchester City have finally hit the ground running, and the results are starting to see them blowing teams away like they did in their title-winning campaign.
Aguero has always been a consistent g…

Napoli dropped rare points in their quest for the Serie A title as Luciano Spalletti s leaders were held to a disappointing goalless draw by Hellas Verona at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
With Spalletti managing his squad ahead of Tuesday s Champions League clash with Milan, fit-again striker Victor Osimhen began on the bench alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Napoli lacked inspiration in a low-key affair and went closest after the late introduction of their star duo, Osimhen rattling the crossbar with a terrific volley.
While Napoli s first Scudetto since 1990 appears a formality with their lead at the summit standing at 14 points, Spalletti will demand far better with their European dreams on the line next time out.

Fabio Capello said managing Russia is an entirely different challenge compared to his tenure as England boss.
The Italian, speaking after his side secured a 1-1 draw with Brazil at Chelsea s Stamford Bridge on Monday, returned to England for the first time since resigning as England manager in February 2012.
It is a very different job, it is the same in terms of managing but it is different because of two main things, Capello said.
The Russian Premier League takes a three-month break during the winter and the language is very difficult because I always have to speak through a translator as it is difficult to learn.
Russia sit first in their World Cup qualifying Group F, having won all four of their games, and Capello knows there can be no room for slip…
