Rooney would love to rejoin Everton... and not just at the very end of his Manchester United career, claims England pal Jagielka
Everton captain Phil Jagielka has claimed that Wayne Rooney would relish the opportunity to make a Goodison Park return. Rooney left Everton to join Manchester United in a £25million deal in 2004 as a teenager and has made over 100 international appearances for England. At 29 years of age, the striker still has plenty to offer the Premier League, and Jagielka believes Rooney would be interested in making a return to Merseyside.
Chadli rescues point for Pochettino on his return to Southampton... but did Lamela emulate his hero Maradona by punching ball into net for Tottenham's opening goal?
SOUTHAMPTON 2-2 TOTTENHAM - SAM CUNNINGHAM AT ST MARY'S: How the Southampton fans would've wanted one more; the winner they so rightly deserved in their 2-2 draw with Tottenham. There was clear, understandable resentment for the return of former manager Mauricio Pochettino who left his former club in the lurch last summer to join Spurs with many key players on their way out. But if Southampton's draw was not an indication they have overtaken the north London club, it at least showed that Ronald Koeman has taken a hugely depleted squad and turned them into equals.
One last ride... one final victory? Legend McCoy chases perfect goodbye at Sandown
MARCUS TOWNEND AT SANDOWN: AP McCoy has been left with just one more ride to secure a winner before his retirement after Mr Mole, his penultimate mount could only finish third to favourite Special Tiara in the Celebration Chase. McCoy had Mr Mole disputing the lead throughout the two-mile chase run in his name as her and Noel Fehily, rider of Special Tiara, duelled down the Sandown back straight. But not even a trademark McCoy drive into the final fence could rescue the situation.
WATCH McIlroy get pulverised by 17-year-old golf prodigy in an arm-wrestle
While Rory McIlroy is no stranger to pumping iron, the world's No 1 golfer will need more than a few extra sessions in the gym to match American teenager Brad Dalke. McIlroy knew he was beaten even before he even took the strain for an arm wrestle with the ripped high schooler who made short work of a strength test against the Northern Irishman.
Depay could be Manchester United's new £25m superstar... so, is the rising Dutch star the world-class signing Van Gaal needs?
KIERAN GILL - THE NUMBERS GAME: Dutch football made a killing in the stock market this week. Yet its rise was not because PSV Eindhoven won their first Eredivisie title since 2008, ending Ajax's four-year reign. It was down to Memphis Depay, who scored his 20th goal of the season to confirm their 22nd championship in Holland.
Brighton 0-2 Watford: Deeney and Vydra fire Hornets to brink of Premier League return
JACK GAUGHAN AT THE AMEX STADIUM: The chances of Watford blowing their Premier League promotion bid from this point are slim on this evidence. Hardly vintage, but enough, as Troy Deeney's 21st goal of the season and a late one from Matej Vydra secured a comfortable victory for Slavisa Jokanovic's side.
Wenger has failed to beat Mourinho in all 12 of their clashes... but what were his excuses after each match of Arsenal's dirty dozen?
Arsenal take on Chelsea on Sunday and Arsene Wenger will be determined not to make it an unlucky 13 games without victory over Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese's record against his old adversary, who he infamously labelled 'a specialist in failure' reads 12 matches, seven wins, five draws and no defeats. Here, Sportsmail relives Jose's dirty dozen.
Sanchez limbers up for Chelsea as Arsenal are all smiles before clash against their nemesis
They're gearing up for a mouthwatering top of the table clash against bitter London rivals Chelsea on Sunday, but that hasn't stopped the Arsenal squad from enjoying themselves in training. Gunners trio Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla were among the members of Arsene Wenger's team who were all smiles as they were put through their paces at their London Colney base on Saturday morning. The triumvirate fine-tuned their attacking skills by undergoing some shooting drills as they look to fire Arsenal to victory this weekend.
Groves will fight Jack for WBC world title after champion Dirrell falls to shock defeat
Badou Jack outpointed Anthony Dirrell on Friday night at the UIC Pavilion to take the WBC super-middleweight title. Jack (19-1-1) received winning of 116-112 and 115-113, and the third had it even at 114-114. Jack, the Las Vegas-based Swede who fights under the banner of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s promotion company, connected with a big one-two combination in the ninth round and forced the fight inside on a tiring Dirrell (27-1-1).
MAROUANE FELLAINI EXCLUSIVE: I lost my quality for one year, and now it's back? Bulls***!
MARTIN SAMUEL - CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: The expletive, coming from the softly spoken lips of Marouane Fellaini, sounds so much more powerful. Fellaini doesn't curse. He doesn't raise his voice, he doesn't banter in a laddish fashion; he is the polar opposite of the bruising 6ft 4in presence on the pitch. It would take quite a lot to get Fellaini to swear, in fact. It would take mention of the criticism he received last season. 'Bulls***,' says the Belgian, as he picks, with irritation, at a little scab on his knee.
English football remembers 56 fans who lost their lives in Bradford fire as clubs mark 30th anniversary with minute's silence

JAMIE CARRAGHER: Don't get fooled again, Arsene... you'll need more to challenge Chelsea and launch a title assault
JAMIE CARRAGHER: Don't be fooled, Arsene. Don't be caught out by this impressive run of form and think everything is in place for a crack at the title next year. It is not uncommon to see Arsenal finish a season with a string of good results. Usually they rattle out a sequence of wins just in time to preserve their place in the top four but too late to affect the destiny of the Barclays Premier League. You just hope Wenger and Arsenal's board don't get fooled into thinking they have got all the tools they need at their disposal. This is not the time to be complacent. This is the summer when Arsenal must go for it and make the big additions that will stop them being nearly-men.
