The 2018-19 Premier League golden boot winner is a very important player for Arsenal, but if the club fails to qualify for the Europa League they will need to sell him to raise some transfer funds. The real problem would be if they lost both Aubameyang and Lacazette next summer. Read the full story Zlatan to reunite with Ancelotti at Everton Incoming Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti reportedly wants to add Zlatan Ibrahimovic to his squad and the Swedish striker "would be interested" in a move to the Toffees, according to the Telegraph. Lucky me. I've got a glut of beautiful people to pick from. Chelsea are next in action when they host Bristol City next Sunday in the WSL, before a Continental League Cup quarter-final tie at home to Aston Villa on Wednesday, 15 January. BBC Sport has launched #ChangeTheGame to showcase female athletes in a way they never have been before. Through more live women's sport available to watch across the BBC, complemented by our journalism, we are aiming to turn up the volume on women's sport and alter perceptions. The 38-year-old has been a free agent since leaving MLS side LA Galaxy so would be a cheap January option for the Merseyside outfit who are looking for a forward who can take some of the workload from youngster Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Ancelotti would also want Ibrahimovic to help the struggling 19-year-old Moise Kean, who has failed to find his form since a £25 million move from Juventus last summer. Jordan Nobbs, Leah Williamson and substitute Emma Mitchell also scored, while Lisa Evans netted a brace. Arsenal beat Bristol City 7-0 in the Continental League Cup only 10 days ago - but few would have predicted an even more emphatic scoreline with both teams at full strength in the league. The Gunners had 32 shots during Sunday's game, 17 of them on target, at a rate of more than one effort on goal every three minutes. The positives are that we had eight academy lads in the squad. Conceding so early was a killer for us and then their second was a turning point. But they gave me everything they had.

Read the full story Poch wants to replace Pep Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly eyeing up a possible move to Manchester City if Pep Guardiola were to leave at the end of the season, according to the Sun. The Argentine was sacked by Spurs in November and has been offered to be Real Madrid's "manager-in-waiting", a deal that would see him patiently be on call if Los Blancos' current boss Zinedine Zidane were to be sacked following a potentially poor run of form. Another superinteresting duel form today from England FA Cup and new duel where I will just bet on goals and enjoy in this duel. Brentford is team who is more than good this season and I believe that they can attack sixth place on the table this season. In last round, they are beat Bristol City as a guests, even 4-0, while on the other side and their rival - Stoke City was brilliant, and they are won 5-2 in last round. I belive in very interesting duel here and we will probably see at least three or even four goals. Royals leave it late On paper the mid-table clash between Reading and Tottenham may not have caught the eye before kick-off, but then football matches aren't played on paper. It was a thriller at Adams Park as Reading staged a dramatic comeback from a goal down to win 3-1, with Remi Allen's poke at the death the crucial intervention. Bristol City and Shrewsbury drew 1-1 on Saturday. Holders Manchester City will host Fulham while Manchester United or Wolverhampton Wanderers, who drew 0-0 on Sunday, will play last year's runners-up Watford or Tranmere Rovers, who came from 3-0 down to draw their third-round tie 3-3. Arsenal, who have won the world's oldest cup competition a record 13 times, or Championship leaders Leeds United, who meet in the last remaining third round tie later on Monday, will be away to Bournemouth. Aubameyang wants to join a club that is "ready to challenge for top trophies", while Arsenal are currently languishing in 10th place in the Premier League and are likely to enter their fourth consecutive season out of the Champions League next term. The Independent also state Granit Xhaka and Alexandre Lacazette are interested in transfers away from the Gunners. Read the full story Aubameyang 'desperate' for Arsenal exit Things are going from bad to worse for Arsenal. Newly-appointed club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is said to be "desperate to leave", according to the Independent. The 30-year-old forward only has 18 months left on his current contract and has no interest in extending his deal at the club in crisis. Matthew Connolly (2005-) QPR, Reading, Cardiff, Watford. Promotion (2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2014-15, 2017-18)Four Championship clubs, five promotions. Connolly was central to QPR and Cardiff lifting the title in 2010-11 and 2012-13. The centre-back played a smaller role in successes at Reading and Watford. Richard Keogh (2005-) Coventry, Derby. Team of the season (2014-15)Republic of Ireland centre-back Keogh has made more Championship appearances in the past 10 years than any other player on the shortlist. Bristol city recently in the Championship is not play well. They have remained winless in 5 matches suffering 4 defeats in those 5 matches, which may not be a good sign before this match, but on the other hand the FA Cup is a great place to relieve such failures the more that they do not play bad on their own pitch, and the opponent in this match come from League One, where they are not doing so well so far. They are in the lower parts of the table. But they had some good results recently. They will try for a reverse leg by drawing here. Sheffield United defeated Millwall 2-0 with goals from former Everton midfielder Muhamed Besic and Oliver Norwood. Premier League strugglers Norwich brought Burnley down to earth after their win over Manchester United in midweek, with Grant Hanley and Josip Drmic giving them a 2-1 win at Turf Moor. Elsewhere, there were two more replays set up after Coventry and Birmingham finished goalless and Reading and Cardiff City drew 1-1. Paper Round's view: This season has been a complete disaster for Arsenal. Aubameyang was only appointed as club captain last month and he already wants to move away. However, it does makes sense for the north London club to sell him - especially as they can't risk losing him for free when his contract expires in 2021. Sid Lowe on one of the great sights in football, a goalkeeper leaving the comfort of his own penalty box to seek a goal at the other end, for the Guardian. RETRO CORNER To any kids reading, Carlo Ancelotti was once an exceptional footballer. Check out this biff: COMING UP Liverpool play in the League Cup quarter-finals against Aston Villa, while Liverpool prepare for their Club World Cup semi-final against Monterrey tomorrow. Aside from a single victory at Reading, Birmingham have picked up only four points from their last 10 matches. They come into this game having just ended a three-game run in the league, having shipped three goals in defeats to Hull and West Brom. This is certainly a downward spiral for Pep Clotet and his side, with the manager’s limitations perhaps coming to the fore. Former winners Coventry City, who have fallen on hard times, beat Bristol Rovers 3-0 in their replay to set up a 'home' tie with Birmingham City at Birmingham's St Andrews ground where they are currently tenants. Second tier Reading won 2-0 at Blackpool, whilst Tranmere Rovers' replay at home to top-flight Watford was postponed after heavy rain left the pitch waterlogged. Fenerbahce's sporting director Damien Comolli is said to have flown to London earlier this week to discuss a potential loan deal with the Gunners. Paper Round's view: Ozil has struggled to find a consistent level of form throughout his time in north London, but his performances have completely deteriorated over the last year or so. Top-flight Burnley eased into round four with a 4-2 home win over third-tier Peterborough United. Birmingham City beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 in an all-Championship clash. Fourth-tier Newport County went down 3-0 at Millwall but third-tier Shrewsbury Town earned a replay after a 1-1 draw at Championship side Bristol City. The 31-year-old is on a £350,000-a-week contract at Arsenal, which means every single poor performance receives high levels of criticism from fans and football pundits. It must be mentally tough for Ozil but he isn't performing anywhere near to his best, so it makes sense for Arsenal to try and loan him out and get another club to pay some of his wages. Bringing in Ancelotti and Ibrahimovic would show that Everton really mean business, but it would be very interesting as both figures have been labelled as 'has-beens' in recent months. Either way, Goodison Park needs a top-level goalscorer as the Toffees have really lacked one since Romelu Lukaku left back in 2017. Premier League leaders Liverpool will play at either Championship Bristol City or League One side Shrewsbury in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Holders Manchester City face Fulham, while Chelsea also play second-tier opponents, away at Hull City. Leicester, second in the Premier League, meet Championship Brentford. The winners of the Manchester United v Wolves replay will play either Watford or Tranmere Rovers, with those sides also needing a replay after a 3-3 draw.

Championship picks for every single game, including this one, from SportsLine's advanced computer model. Get picks now. At the bottom of the table, it was a memorable weekend for Bristol City, as they got their first victory of the season with a 1-0 win away at Manchester United, while Liverpool's wait for that elusive first win continues after another slender 1-0 defeat to Brighton. With West Ham's match with Everton being called off due to illness in the Hammers' camp, there were only five matches this weekend but there were still plenty of standout performances to choose from. Bristol City are only on the 7th place of the league and only have a 5-2-6 record so far. But including last season, they have scored in each of the last 12 games at home. In the last 4 home games they even scored a total of 9 goals. But they have also conceded 9 goals so far in 5 games at home. Will Brentford continue their rise up the table with a victory at Blackburn in midweek? The Bees are up to eighth following their weekend win over Reading, while the visitors have continued to improve their away form this term. They are now just two points shy of the playoffs after a burst of form, while they head to Ewood Park aiming to leap into the top six. Paper Round's view: Ancelotti has previously worked with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Paris Saint-Germain, but that was over six years ago. Ibra has been playing in the United States for 18 months so might not be up to Premier League standard but because he's available for free, the cheap risk could be worth it.
