(Reuters) - Talking points from the weekend's Premier League and FA Cup action:
Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte's lacerating verbal attack on his players and the culture at the club after they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 at Southampton on Saturday surely means the Italian's exit is getting closer.
Quite how the players will respond if Conte is still at the helm after the international window is anyone's guess and chairman Daniel Levy must be pondering whether they have a better chance of staying in fourth spot with the Italian gone.Manchester City's Erling Haaland may be shredding the goalscoring record books but if Arsenal win the title then young England winger Bukayo Saka will surely be in line to claim the prestigious Footballer of the Year award.
After bashing RB Leipzig for seven to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, with Haaland scoring five, they then smashed Burnley 6-0 with another Haaland hat-trick to reach the FA semi-finals and a clash with second-tier Sheffield United. But Everton's two equalisers mean Chelsea have kept a clean sheet in only one of their last six league games.
