Having previously taken in a successful six-year spell at Premier League rivals Liverpool, the Spaniard arrived in west London as successor to Roberto Di Matteo in November 2012. He was appointed on an interim basis and asked to carry the Blues through to the end of the season. Benitez did just that despite opposition to his reign, with Europa League glory topping a productive stint. Now in charge of Newcastle, Benitez feels he was unfortunate not to get a new deal, telling reporters: “All the feedback that I had from the professionals and the board was very positive....

Silva was voted City’s player of the season as he and his team-mates swept to a domestic treble in 2018-19, but his performances this time around have been indicative of a general malaise, with Liverpool storming clear of their rivals to claim the Premier League title.

Deeney inspired Watford to a comeback win against the Gunners at Vicarage Road in October, the forward telling the media after the game that Arsenal lacked “cojones”.

As the Gunners have toiled over recent weeks, a number of senior stars have found themselves in the firing line.

Roethlisberger said he felt fine and that he didn’t feel like Sunday’s game against the Ravens was going to be the end of his career. By the time he walked off the field at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Roethlisberger had to have more confidence than ever that he was not yet done. He had led Pittsburgh to a 16-13 comeback win in overtime against the Ravens to end the regular season, and with some help from the Colts and pending the outcome of Sunday’s game between the Chargers and Raiders, he and the Steelers could be headed back to the postseason....
