Hide AdHarris on QPR danger
Millwall boss Neil Harris has warned his side they will need to deal with QPR’s dangerous set-pieces after the West London side scored a scrapy equaliser from a corner last weekend.
“QPR is a big, strong aggressive side on set-plays, so we’ll have to defend them well,” Harris said, as per the South London Press. “They can handle the ball and build from the back, but they can also get the ball forward to the number nine really quickly and build off that so we have to be good a all aspects of the game. We have to deal with the London derby status and the excitement of fan bases. We’ll have to start well in the game.”
Jude’s Jobe worry
Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham has expressed a ‘worry’ over brother Jobe as he looks to carve a career path of his own at Sunderland. The midfielder said on his YouTube documentary series: “The worry is that people judge him based on my achievements.
“But I'm really conscious of that because I know it's something that people will always throw in his face, and it's not fair because he's an amazing talent, amazing player in his own right. People will use him as a way to have a dig at me and vice versa, so we're almost like each other's biggest fans but also the biggest target for each other because we care about each other so much.”

Hide AdKoleosho deal of ‘paramount importance’
Burnley talent Luca Koleosho signed a new contract at the club after an impressive start to the season, and pundit Carlton Palmer believes the deal is of ‘paramount importance’ to the Clarets.
"It’s very important to keep your best players, especially the young ones, and he’s 20-years-old, very exciting and it was a shame he picked up an injury last season,” he told Football League World. “But, he’s back now, and he’s up and running, scoring against Cardiff and Leeds. It was of paramount importance to keep the youngster. We know when you’ve got good young players that the top clubs will come looking.
"Burnley have got their sights on getting back into the Premier League, so it’s fantastic news that Koleosho is remaining at the club. Scott Parker has done a great job so far, the players are enjoying their football and hopefully they can continue carrying on as they look to win promotion."
