Man United's Jose Mourinho: Defensive Chelsea tough to catch

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has told Sky Sports it will be "very difficult" to catch Chelsea this season as they are unlikely to drop many points due to their defensive tactics. Mourinho once had a reputation for playing defensive football but he has instilled a more positive, attacking style into United this season. Chelsea, meanwhile, have been efficiently churning out clean sheets in recent months -- including three 1-0 wins in a row in the Premier League from their last three games -- and are first in the table, 13 points clear of United. When asked if sixth-placed United can still push for the title, Mourinho said: • "You have to be honest and say that is very difficult. It's not just the difference in points, it's also the Chelsea philosophy of playing. • "They score one goal and they win. They defend a lot. They defend well. They are winning and, in the last 20 minutes, they bring defenders in. • "They

Tekno Disqualified from 2016 Headies Next Rated award

MMMG act, Tekno has been disqualified from the 2016 Headies ‘Next Rated’ award category. It was the only category the 24- year-old singer was nominated in. According to reliable information obtained by Thenetng, the jury took the decision to withdraw his nomination because he failed to participate in all of the required activities by organisers leading up to the event. Official e-mails between the organisers and the singer’s reps confirm all nominees for the category were required to take part in promotional activities including photoshoots, interviews and more. An insider says all other nominees were available for all the activities. As a result, Ycee, Aramide, Humblesmith and Mr. Eazi will now compete for the prize without the ‘Pana’ hitmaker. The award ceremony will take place tomorrow, December 22, at Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. • Tweet @Am_Lastborn (07060428346)

Alexis Sanchez rejects Arsenal's £180K-a- week deal as contract talks continue

Alexis Sanchez who currently earns £130K weekly is holding out for a vastly improved deal of of £250K a week and has rejected an offer of £180K weekly. The prolific attacker is central to the Gunners' interest and the club is desperate to tie him down to a long term deal. They are however hesitant to meet his huge demands but remain hopeful a deal can be struck. In contrast to Sanchez’s talks, there is a growing confidence at the Emirates that Ozil, 28, will sign a new deal. Wenger is adamant Sanchez and Mesut Ozil — who is also entering the final 18 months of his deal — will not be sold even if they have not penned fresh terms. Tweet @Am_Lastborn (07060428346)

Manchester City and Ivory Coast player, Yaya Toure has been handed an 18-month driving ban and a £54,000 fine after he was caught driving under the influence. His blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. Appearing at Barkingside Magistrates' Court, the player did not contest the charge but insisted he wanted to make the judge aware any alcohol consumption was unintentional. The 33-year-old said he was at a party with friends and was drinking Diet Coke from a jug, which he later found out had brandy in it. However a judge said it was 'inconceivable' he did not know he was drinking and banned him from driving for 18 months and fined him £54,000. He was pulled over at 11.15pm after police thought he was exceeding the 30mph speed limit in his £80,000 Audi RS6. Toure told the court he felt tired but did not know he was drunk. • Judge Gary Lucie said: 'You say you were at a party and thought you were drinking Diet Coke but you a
