Chelsea to give youth a chance, Ipswich look to prolong the inevitable and Jamie Vardy begins his swansong

Tyrique George has caught the eye since breaking into Chelsea’s first team. A homegrown talent, the 19-year-old winger has done well in his Conference League outings and is in contention for his first start in the league when Enzo Maresca’s side host Everton in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off. Fast, direct and sharp on the ball, George has quickly become a favourite with supporters and he lifted some of the pressure off Maresca after coming off the bench to score an excellent equaliser in Chelsea’s comeback win at Fulham last weekend. Thrown on as a striker, George made it 1-1 with a fine shot from the edge of the area. It was the latest in a series of positive contributions from the teenager. His enthusiasm could make a difference against Everton. Jacob Steinberg

The Manchester City star is reported to be on his way to the United States at age 34, raising a tired trope once again

Kevin De Bruyne can’t run any more. Or not like he used to anyway.

That seems to be the verdict of his Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, who obliquely cited an absence of “physicality” in his explanation for leaving De Bruyne out of the lineup against Real Madrid in February.

• City manager turns focus to FA Cup after vital victory
• Guardiola praises stand-in full-backs Nunes and O’Reilly

Pep Guardiola said he was “really happy” after Matheus Nunes’s winner in added time gave Manchester City a crucial win against Aston Villa in the race for Champions League qualification.

Victory lifts the champions to third place on 61 points, four ahead of Chelsea in sixth, with four games left. A top-five finish will secure European Cup football.
