Baily Cargill admits nerves nearly got the better of him before making his Premier League debut for Bournemouth in the pressure cooker that is Old Trafford.

But after coming off the bench and helping the Cherries hold on for a 1-1 draw last weekend, the academy graduate insists he is already itching for more action.

The 21-year-old Cargill came on for Tyrone Mings in the 78^th minute and with the latter now facing a five-game suspension he could be in line for more appearances.

And the youngster is confident he can show Eddie Howe what he is capable of in the top flight season run in.

“Of course there were nerves, that was my first ever league game for Bournemouth in the Premier League so I was nervous,” he said.

“I just wanted to go on and make sure I didn’t concede, my performance wasn’t really in my mind, the most important thing was for us not to concede while I was on the field and coming out of the game I was happy with that.

“To finish 1-1 was a great result and hopefully that will be a stepping stone for us now to kick on and start winning some more games.

“Hopefully I’ll be a bit more involved now. Who knows what’s going to happen. I might get a start, I might be on the bench, I’m just happy to be around it.

“These next three months for me are crucial in my career and I need to make the most of it and learn, work hard and show the gaffer that I’m ready to play for him whenever he needs me.”

Sunderland manager David Moyes has compared his side to Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Moyes believes the Black Cats have the ability to put in performances at key times to avoid relegation, just as Ferguson’s side could step up to win big competitions.

After losing 2-0 at home to Manchester City last weekend, Sunderland are left at the bottom of the Premier League table – six points off safety.

With their game against rivals Middlesbrough postponed, Sunderland’s next match will be against Burnley on 18 March.

And Moyes believes his team’s previous experience of the relegation zone will benefit them in their remaining fixtures.

He said: “It is important for us as a team and important for everyone in this region.

“For the workers around the club it means an awful lot so we carry a lot of responsibility to make sure we make it happen.

“We have been in this position before and I’m hoping the experience of being in this position will make us better and help us with this run in.

“This is the time of the season you need your players to come into form and show what they are capable of.

“Players at the top peak at the right time to win leagues or win cups and Manchester United had a great habit under Sir Alex of timing that well.

“I think Sunderland have got that great habit of timing it well so that they aren’t relegated.

“We don’t want to be in this position but we are here and we need to use every bit of experience we have got to get out of it.”

Chelsea may top the Premier League table but boss Antonio Conte insists he does not have the best squad at his disposal.

The Blues looked destined to win the trophy for the second time in three years and could do the double as they host Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Monday.

But Italian Conte, who only arrived in London at the beginning of the season, says both United and their rivals Manchester City have a far better squad.

“In October, before the game, I was sure of facing a great team. It’s the same now. Manchester United have, together with City, the best squad in the league.

“They have a lot of great players with great talent and experience of winning. For sure it will be a really tough game for us and for them.

“Now for us it’s better, because in October we didn’t know our future. Now we are in March and we are on top of the table.

“We have a good identity. We are showing good football, but for sure it will be a really tough game against a good team.”

Burnley manager Sean Dyche says he is flattered that his star players are being linked with moves away to bigger clubs.

Striker Andre Gray and centre-back Michael Keane have played a large part in the Clarets’ outstanding campaign, which has seen them transform into a solid mid-table Premier League outfit.

Both are heavily linked with a move to pastures new this summer, with Tottenham and Southampton reportedly keen on Gray, and Keane attracting the attention of Chelsea and Manchester City.

But Dyche says it is a sign that the Premier League is taking his club seriously.

“I’ve said many times it’s that balance between people looking at your players and wondering where that will go then equally the respect where it shows that people are taking Burnley Football Club seriously,” Dyche said.

“The club, the team, the individuals, they’re taking us seriously and noticing that we’ve got some really good players.

“That’s good for the club that people are recognising that. It’s certainly good for myself and the staff to realise that we do work with these players and they do develop and improve.

“The more we do that en masse, the stronger the team gets and I think that’s been shown over a long period now.”

Pep Guardiola is yet to find a stable goalkeeper at Manchester City but Joe Hart admits his time at the club is probably over.

The England number one left the Etihad Stadium to join Serie A side Torino on loan last summer when Guardiola made it clear he did not fancy the Englishman, by signing Barcelona’s Claudio Bravo.

But Bravo has been a disaster since arriving and back-up Willy Caballero looks nervous, giving fans hope that popular Hart could come back into the side.

But the former Shrewsbury Town gloveman says he does not see a future for himself in east Manchester and expects to move elsewhere this summer.

“I’ve got to be realistic. I love that club and I’ve always said that as long as they wanted me, I would be there,” said Hart.

“But I was always cautious when I said that because I’m aware that at the big, big clubs stuff can change quickly, as can opinions and people in charge.

“Not everyone is going to like you, not everyone is going to want to play you and that’s the business side of it, which I’ve grown into and I’m certainly not going to take personally.

“I want to play football, I love to play football so if that opportunity is not going to be given there then I’m going to have to look elsewhere and may have to make somewhere else my home.”

Striker Kelechi Iheanacho is eyeing a trip to Wembley, as Manchester City gear themselves up for an FA Cup quarter-final at Middlesbrough on Saturday lunchtime.

City last played under the famous arch in the competition in 2013, when they were surprisingly beaten in the final by Wigan Athletic, and are searching for their first silverware under manager Pep Guardiola.

With the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Monaco following their trip to Teesside, Guardiola’s side are fighting on three fronts as the season enters a decisive stage.

They’ll also be keen to shrug off the frustration of Wednesday’s 0-0 draw at home to Stoke City in the Premier League, where Iheanacho couldn’t force a breakthrough after stepping from the bench.

“It is a big game on Saturday against Middlesbrough,” Iheanacho explained. “It is like a final for us to play.

“We have to go there to play the good football that we can do and we hope to get the win that we need so we have got a trip to Wembley for the semi-finals.

“There are strong teams in the FA Cup, of course – Chelsea and Manchester United play [each other].

“We need to keep working hard and believe in ourselves and of course, if we work hard, we are going to win.”

Hull City defender Andy Robertson is in no doubt that his side’s ability to stay in the Premier League will depend on how well they play at home.

The Tigers head into the weekend with a vital clash with Swansea City at the KCOM Stadium, a proverbial six-pointer which could determine where they play football next season.

Manager Marco Silva has had a positive start since arriving in the Humber, though his side remain just one place off bottom spot with two wins coming from their past ten outings.

That included a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Premier League champions Leicester, a result that left the Tigers four points clear of safety with just 11 games to go this season.

Yet with fellow bottom-half sides West Ham, Middlesbrough, Watford and Sunderland all due to visit after Swansea, Robertson feels it is clear what they need to do if Hull are to survive.

“The KCOM is our bread and butter at the end of the day and if you’re good at home, you stay up,” said the left-back.

“You see Burnley and they’ve only picked up two points on the road but they’re arguably safe because of how well they’ve done at home.

“We need to start doing that with the run-in we’ve got and the games we’ve got at home. We’ve got a few good games at home and if we can keep making the KCOM a fortress like we have since I first came here, then hopefully we can pick up more wins there.

“We’ve struggled away from home. The only good results have been a point at Burnley, beating Swansea and then the draw at Man United. Other than that, it’s been hard to come by the points.”

Stoke City captain Ryan Shawcross believes his side can continue to pick up good results against the Premier League’s elite if they keep defending in the manner they showed in Wednesday’s 0-0 draw against Manchester City.

The Potters restricted City to only one shot on target during the match at the Etihad Stadium, as they dealt a blow to their hosts’ fading hopes of chasing down Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Shawcross was named man of the match, as he and his teammates ensured there was no repeat of their last performance away from home, when they were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham Hotspur.

Shawcross said: “We let ourselves down against Spurs in terms of our performance and maybe our effort, so it was important to produce a more solid and resolute showing.

“There were one or two things that had to be addressed after that game and you could see tonight that we have learned from them, and have been able to take a deserved point.

“It is always going to be difficult coming to places like this, but we showed tonight that we are capable of competing with these clubs and taking positive results.

“I thought to a man we were fantastic, from Jon Walters and Saido [Berahino] up front right back to Lee Grant in goal – we got it spot on.”

Leicester City may have won back-to-back Premier League games against Liverpool and Hull but midfielder Danny Drinkwater knows they’re far from safety.

The reigning Premier League champions slipped into the relegation zone before consecutive 3-1 victories moved the Foxes five points clear of the bottom three.

Leicester don’t have a game this weekend having exited the FA Cup and took the longer than usual break to complete some warm weather training in Dubai.

And Drinkwater insisted there would be no complacency from the side having moved themselves away from immediate danger.

Drinkwater said: “As long as we finish where we need to – and want to – come the end of the season then the start and middle of the season will be forgotten.

“We aren’t safe yet. We have won two games, it is not done.

“We are football players and it is our job. When we win games, we like it and the more the better. Individuals use what they want and if it helps the team then all the better.

“We know the next game will be more important than the last. We will keep pushing on and making sure we are doing what we are doing in the week to prepare ourselves for the game.

Spurs striker Harry Kane believes the time he spent on loan at Millwall helped turn him into the prolific goalscorer he is today.

Kane spent six months at the Lions in 2012 – scoring nine goals in 27 appearances – in a string of loan moves away from White Hart Lane before returning to his parent club.

The England striker won the Premier League Golden Boot last season netting 25 times and is one clear of Everton’s Romelu Lukaku this season with 19 thus far.

And the 23-year-old will welcome his old side to north London on Sunday as they do battle for a place in the FA Cup semi-final with Kane admitting he has a lot to thank Milwall for.

“I had a great time at Millwall, I enjoyed my loan spell there. I was 18 at the time, playing in the Championship. It was big part of my development,” said Kane.

“We were in a relegation battle and it really probably turned me into a man, playing in difficult, high-pressure games – and I managed to come out of it positively.

“It will be interesting to play them again. A lot has changed since I left, but I’m looking forward to it.

“The atmosphere is going to be amazing, of course with it being a quarter-final as well. It’s a big game.”
