Postecoglou could unlock Timo Werner’s full potential at Tottenham
Timo Werner didn’t make the best impression at Chelsea. Signed for £47.5m in the summer of 2020, the forward was never able to replicate his goalscoring achievements in the Bundesliga for the Blues, returning to RB Leipzig after just two underwhelming seasons in the Premier League.

Doncaster Place 6 preview | 10th January
12.20 – Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 519 ‘Hands And Heels’ Handicap Hurdle It’s a wide-open race to start proceedings, but I do like the chances of RICKETY GATE. Twice a winner in 2022, he strung together a sequence of placed efforts in the second half of last year and would have gone close in his only previous visit here without mishap.

The ‘Magic of the Cup’ still exists, but not in places it used to be found
Maidstone United became the first sixth tier team to reach the FA Cup fourth round since Havant and Waterlooville in 2008 by beating Stevenage on Saturday. Not that anyone watching from home saw this from their armchair.

Taunton Place 6 preview | 8th January
12.55 – Farmers Friend Novices’ Hurdle The opener should go the way of INSURRECTION, who was last seen finishing a creditable second in a Grade 2 race. This is a significant drop in grade, and his form looks superior to what Lucky Place has achieved, so he should be a nice winner for the team of Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden.

Plumpton Place 6 preview | 7th January
12.45 – BetGoodwin Tom Cannon Juvenile Hurdle THROUGH THE AGES improved significantly from his hurdle debut third to emphatically open his account at Newbury when winning by 15 lengths from the front and is the viable favourite.

Saturday’s Tyne-Wear derby is possibly the game neither club really wanted
Stomachs are churning and nerves are jangling across the North East again, like they haven’t in the last seven years. This weekend sees the return of the Tyne-Wear derby for the first time since 2016, as Newcastle United travel to Sunderland in the FA Cup third round.

What each of the ‘Big Six’ plus Aston Villa and Newcastle need in January
At the halfway point of the 2023/24 season, the Premier League table has taken shape. There is now a clear idea of the title challengers, the top four contenders and the strugglers. The January transfer window offers an opportunity for clubs to strengthen their squads for the second half of the campaign with speculation already swirling over the moves that could happen before the end of the month.

Cole Palmer has been so good even Man City must be feeling regret
Nobody has scored more goals for Chelsea in the Premier League this season than Cole Palmer. While the young attacking midfielder arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer as a player for the future, he has quickly become the Blues’ most reliable difference-maker in the present.

Ayr Place 6 preview | 2nd January
12.45 – Happy New Year From Ayr Racecourse Maiden Hurdle ESPRIT DU POTIER won twice here in bumpers and has shaped well in both hurdle starts to take second. His record here reads 2112, and, with this longer trip sure to suit, he should be hard to beat and can get favourite backers off to a flyer.

Cheltenham Place 6 preview | 1st January
12.20 – Favourite From The Sun Now Daily Maiden Hurdle INNATENDUE went close here in November, only a neck behind Cannock Park, who subsequently made the frame in a Grade 1 race on his next start, and could go one better.
