Tottenham Hotspur got off to a dream start to life under Ange Postecoglou after the Australian took charge of the London club in the summer, going unbeaten in the Premier League after ten games and battling it out with Manchester City, Liverpool and bitter rivals Arsenal for the top spot.

However, on Monday, Spurs' bubble burst and Ange's men came crashing back down to earth following a devastating double injury blow and two red cards which handed Chelsea all three points on Mauricio Pochettino's return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Summer signings James Maddison and Micky van de Ven were replaced in the first half. The former sustained an ankle injury during the game while the latter is said to have endured a serious hamstring problem and could be sidelined for months.

Postecoglou is short on quality at the back and with Van de Ven possibly out of action until the new year, the club have already turned their attention towards his replacement.

Who Spurs could sign to replace Van de Ven

According to a report from Football Insider, Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Edmond Tapsoba is one of three players on a shortlist at Tottenham Hotspur to replace the injured Dutchman, alongside Bournemouth star Lloyd Kelly and Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo.

The London club were linked with Tapsoba during the summer transfer window too, deciding to go with Van de Ven instead, but have now reportedly reignited their interest in the Burkina Faso international.

Tabsoba has been an integral part of Leverkusen's back three under head coach Xabi Alonso as the German outfit are sitting top of the Bundesliga, locked in an intense title race with champions Bayern Munich. When he first moved to the BayArena in 2020 for £15.5m, journalist Antonio Mango tweeted that the central defender is a "monster", who is intelligent, good on the ball, quick and strong.

Manchester United were linked with the 24-year-old during the summer as Erik ten Hag was hoping to bolster his defensive department. A report from Football Transfers claimed that Leverkusen had slapped a £40m price tag on Tapsoba but the defender has since penned a new five-year deal in Germany, keeping him at the club until 2028.

How Tapsoba compares to Eric Dier

At the weekend, Football Insider revealed that Tottenham's backup centre-back Eric Dier has decided he wants to leave the club after negotiations over a new contract collapsed. Dier's deal expires at the end of the season and so Spurs may be looking to add Tapsoba as a replacement for the England international. Nevertheless, the Burkinabé is statistically a far better defender than Postecoglou's number '15'.

Dier has had limited game time this season, so all of his stats must be taken from the previous campaign. This season, Tapsoba has averaged 1.12 tackles per 90 for Leverkusen, winning 0.92 per 90.

Meanwhile, Dier averaged 0.92 tackles per 90 last term, winning merely 0.61 per 90, according to FBref. The Tottenham-linked defender also wins the ball higher up the pitch than the man he could well be replacing, averaging 0.71 tackles per 90 in the middle and final third compared to Dier's lowly 0.44 per 90.

Tapsoba is far more useful in possession for his team, hence why Alonso has favoured him in a back three during his time in the Leverkusen dugout. The former Vitória de Guimarães star is an excellent ball progressor with his dribbling and boasts 1.94 progressive carries per 90, including 1.73 carries into the final third.

On the other hand, Dier averaged just 0.29 progressive carries per 90 last season as well as 0.29 carries into the final third per 90, playing in a much more conservative system. Furthermore, Tapsoba has been averaging 6.43 progressive passes per 90 this term, while Dier mustered 2.78 per 90 in the previous campaign.

Tapsoba is rapidly becoming one of the best defenders in German football and has all the attributes to play in Ange's high line, hence why he would be a good fit for Spurs in the absence of van de Ven.

Michael Holding believes Hardik Pandya is not effective as a batsman and lacks control and consistency with the ball

Nagraj Gollapudi16-Aug-2018Hardik Pandya is not yet ready to take the allrounder’s spot in India’s Test team, according to former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding, because he is not effective as a batsman and lacks control and consistency with the ball.”The [Indian] attack has not been the right balance,” Holding told ESPNcricinfo. “Apparently they are playing Hardik Pandya as an allrounder to help out with the bowling. When he bowls he isn’t as effective as he should be. If he was a good batsman, if he was getting runs – 60s, 70s, not even regular hundreds – at the number at which he bats and then he bowls and gets two or three wickets, happy, hallelujah. Happy with that. But he is not getting the amount of runs that can then allow him to get a wicket or two in the Test match. That doesn’t work.”Pandya made his Test debut last July in Sri Lanka, scoring a fifty in Galle and followed it with his maiden Test century in Pallekelle in his third Test. He has played nine Tests so far and, barring the home series against Sri Lanka for which he was rested late last year, he has been the only constant in the Test XI along with captain Virat Kohli.In his fledgling Test career, Pandya has had more success with bat than ball – 458 runs at an average of 32.71 with a century and three half-centuries, and 10 wickets at an average of 39.30 and a strike rate of 71.50. Overseas, Kohli has used Pandya largely to give the frontline bowlers relief. The Lord’s Test was Pandya’s most hectic in terms of bowling workload in a single innings – he bowled 17.1 overs and performed the role of the third seamer, assisting the new-ball pair of Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma.That Pandya had to bowl more was a consequence of Kohli’s decision to field two spinners in wet and overcast conditions. Pandya took three wickets, having gone wicketless in the first Test at Edgbaston. Incidentally, he is the second highest run-scorer for India – after Kohli – this series. But the fact that R Ashwin is five runs behind Pandya, who has scored 90 in the two Tests, only illustrates how horrific the series has been for India’s batsmen.Before the Lord’s Test, Pandya had gone wicketless for four Tests, starting from the second match in South Africa in January. While appraising Pandya’s bowling, Holding said he did not have many skills.BCCI

“I don’t think he does a lot with the ball. That is number one,” Holding said. “He is not consistent. He does not have the control that puts batsmen under pressure constantly. He will bowl a couple of good deliveries, yes, but you need to have the control to put batsmen under pressure consistently. And he doesn’t have that. If you are going to be a frontline bowler anywhere in the world, if you are going to be someone that your captain can rely on, that can throw you the ball and expect you to get wickets and expect you to have control, he is not really the man in my opinion.”Holding said India were shooting themselves in the foot by playing Pandya as the third seamer because he does not have the “firepower” to help them take 20 wickets.When asked to describe his role after the third day’s play at Lord’s, Pandya did not want to classify himself as a batting or a bowling allrounder. “If I’m batting I think as a batsman and if I’m bowling I think as a bowler.” Pandya had said. “I don’t have any one particular role.”Holding said India were trying to make Pandya perform the roles of two players, which he was not yet equipped to do. “Not if I have someone else who is fit,” Holding said, when asked if Pandya should play at Trent Bridge. “If there is no one else, sure you have to play him. If there is someone else that is a specialist batsman or specialist bowler I will certainly prefer that. There must be someone that can bat better if they want a batsman, there must be someone who can bowl better if they want a bowler. But it seems as if they are trying to fill two spots with one person. He (Pandya) is not there yet.”Despite his scathing assessment of Pandya, Holding said he is young and has time to develop as an allrounder.”I am not going to tell anyone that you won’t be there because he is a young man. But he is not there yet. I heard a mention, when I was working in South Africa: ‘he is the next Kapil Dev’. I ain’t going to tell anybody he’s not going to be the next Kapil Dev, but he is nowhere near there yet. And they need to find someone who can contribute a lot more to this team right now.”

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag could be dealt a cruel blow on the injury front as one of his star players is now awaiting assessment for an injury picked up on international duty, according to reports.

Man Utd latest news: Sheikh Jassim withdraws, injury problems, Sancho exit

Recently, huge news has hit the headlines in regards to a Man Utd takeover after Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani withdrew from the bidding process to try and acquire 100% of the club. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is now close to agreeing a deal to buy 25% of the club, in an agreement that would still see the Glazer family hold a verticle of control at Old Trafford; however, the exact terms of any potential deal upon ratification are yet to be fully established.

In other news, The Athletic have recently reported that Man Utd's injury latest is being investigated as their list of absentees continues to mount over the course of the season. Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo and Tyrell Malacia are all currently on the sidelines long-term due to various concerns; meanwhile, summer signing Mason Mount, Raphael Varane and Sergio Reguilon have missed chunks of action due to sustaining knocks. Director of Football John Murtough has shed some light on the next steps to try and combat the Premier League giants' injury crisis, stating:

"We’re also looking at why we’ve had so many injuries to see if there are any patterns to improve prevention in future. Some of them have been impact injuries, such as Kobbie’s and Amad’s, which are unpredictable. Others have been muscular and could reflect the sheer volume of games played over the past year, including last year’s World Cup."

Meanwhile, Barcelona are said to be keen on a cut-price move for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho next summer; however, the England international would need to significantly lower his salary demands to push through any deal either on loan or permanently.

Man Utd injury update – Casemiro suffers concern on international duty

As per a fresh Man United injury update on Casemiro from the club, the midfielder suffered an ankle injury on international duty with Brazil against Venezuela and was substituted in the 79th minute after asking to be taken off.

Reports since have claimed he did not train on Saturday due to his ankle being 'badly swollen' and he will undergo further assessment to determine the severity of the injury, which could lead to a spell on the sidelines for the veteran midfielder, who has previously been hailed as "magnificent" by Ten Hag.

Casemiro has been a major contributor for United since completing his move from Real Madrid in 2022, registering 11 goals and seven assists in 62 appearances across all competitions (Casemiro statistics – Transfermarkt).

Nevertheless, it looks as if he could now be unavailable for some upcoming fixtures at Old Trafford, though United will need to wait and see on that front.

Liverpool dispatched an injury-hit Nottingham Forest side in the Premier League with relative ease, winning 3-0 at Anfield to continue the seasonal revival and keep on the tail of table-toppers Tottenham Hotspur.

Last year, the Reds scarcely produced performances of the level that has become the standard under Jurgen Klopp's tutelage, but after some impressive transfer business in the summer,

There will be tougher tests to come, but the sustained performances from several of the Reds' star players will have left the German manager delighted, with none more noteworthy than Dominik Szoboszlai's creative masterclass.

Dominik Szoboszlai's performance vs Nottingham Forest

Starting on the front foot, Liverpool were made to wait until the half-hour mark to bypass Matt Turner's goal, with Diogo Jota latching onto a rebound from Darwin Nunez's shot to open the scoring, before the Uruguayan doubled the lead minutes later.

Mohamed Salah continued his imperious start to the season with a gifted goal after the break, but in truth, Liverpool coasted for large parts of the second half and enjoyed a comfortable win to maintain their fine start.

At the centre of all that was positive was Szoboszlai, who has been sensational since joining in a £60m deal from German side RB Leipzig in July, producing assists for Jota and Salah's goals.

It was a mesmeric performance of control and confidence, and it's a small wonder that talent scout Jacek Kulig declared him as the "Hungarian artist" for his creative flair and ingenuity.

His brace of assists now takes his seasonal tally to two goals and assists apiece across all competitions, but the 23-year-old's quality stretches far beyond the mere merit of direct contributions, with his crisp passing, progressive surges, and tenacious defensive work all on display against Forest.

Unfortunately for Steve Cooper, the trees were not so tricky on Merseyside, and Szoboszlai played a central role in stifling any tincture of attacking threat the visitors could muster.

"Magnificent" Van Dijk back to his best

While Szoboszlai will draw the headlines thanks to his creativity, Virgil van Dijk was once again almighty in the Anfield rearguard, with the Dutchman reclaiming his throne as the division's best centre-half after struggling somewhat last season.

Journalist Samuel Luckhurst remarked that "his drop-off has been staggering" as Liverpool fell by the wayside last year, but was appointed captain following the summer exits of Jordan Henderson and James Milner.

Against Forest, the 32-year-old colossus made four clearances, blocked two shots and completed a tackle and interception apiece, also winning eight of his nine (89%) duels, as per Sofascore, and contributed enormously toward the third clean sheet of the league campaign.

Furthermore, the £220k-per-week machine took 117 touches and completed 94% of his passes, while also making a key pass and succeeding with 12 of his 15 attempted long balls.

Journalist Lewis Bower even hailed his “magnificent” display, with the dominance he exudes in key moments simply breathtaking; quite simply, the away side's advances fell flat on nearly every occasion.

As per FBref, the distinguished titan ranks among the top 5% of centre-backs across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for aerial wins and the top 14% for clearances per 90, further underscoring his value as one of the finest and most composed of his position.

Forest were nullified, with Van Dijk's current confidence hinting at rekindled authority and a presence that proved so integral to Liverpool's previous illustrious exploits as he dominated the away side with his imperious display in and out of possession.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The St George's Cross has been displayed in various colours on England kits on a number of occasions and this year's design was intended to pay homage to the 1966 winning side. However, this has not stopped politicians, fans and ex-players weighing in on the matter. The widespread backlash has forced the FA to approach approving the design of their kits a little more carefully in case people are offended by a minor design detail in the future.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  There had been suggestions that Liverpool player Harvey Elliott had worn his collar up in the England under-21's game against Azerbaijan in protest. However, fans have spotted that when donning a kit with a collar, Elliott has worn it up previously.
