Two of the clubs in the Premier League decided to roll the dice on Sunday by sacking their managers.

There have been sackings, shock results and goals aplenty in the first half of the Women's Super League, but reigning champions Chelsea once again lead the way heading into the winter break.

United have had a disappointing season so far, sacking manager Erik ten Hag in October after just three wins from their opening nine Premier League matches.

He told the BBC about surveillance, sackings, and a culture designed to keep top managers from trusting or communicating with one another.

This means the stakes are high for Lampard as well as King, the man who has driven his appointment but who was heavily criticised by sections of Coventry's fanbase for sacking Robins.
