Chelsea players were left exasperated by beleaguered manager Maurizio Sarri's second half tactics in Monday's loss to Manchester United

Sarri is fighting to keep his job at Stamford Bridge, sources insisting it's 'when and not if' the Italian is given the boot

And the already significant scepticism from players towards Sarri's footballing philosophy was enhanced during the FA Cup fifth-round defeat by United

Already 2-0 down at half-time, Sarri's refusal to make potentially game-changing alterations to his tactics infuriated a number of players

Sarri made two like-for-like substitutions in bringing on Ross Barkley for Mateo Kovacic and Willian for Pedro

Share this article Share The decision to bring on right-back Davide Zappacosta in place of Cesar Azpilicueta in another like-for-like change caused further surprise among players - particularly given attacking players Callum Hudson-Odoi and Olivier Giroud on the bench

And Sarri's unwavering dedication to his own brand of play - widely known as Sarriball - is emerging as a key issue for a number of players

It appears supporters share the players' viewpoint; chants of 'F*** Sarriball' echoed around Stamford Bridge on Monday night - a clear message from fans that they want their manager to change his philosophy

 Chelsea face Malmo in the Europa League on Thursday before facing Manchester City in the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley on Sunday

The Blues then face Tottenham in the Premier League next Wednesday.Sarri insisted after the game that he is not concerned by the fans' anger

'I am worried about the results. Not about the fans. I can understand the situation and our fans, because the result wasn't really good

'We are out of the FA Cup, so I can understand our fans. But I am worried at the moment about our results

'He continued: 'It's not my problem (if I am given more time). My problem is to start preparing the next game and to work with my players to try and improve in a few days, and find more determination, more aggression

'Am I worried about my job? No. I was really very worried when I was in League Two in Italy

Not now.'The players do not completely grasp my style of play at the moment. But I think the players are with me

Of course I am not sure, but I think so.'I think the situation with the players is really very good for the relationship, but the relationship is not so important

'It's important to play, it's important to get good results, but my relationship with my players is good at the moment

✅ Breaking News - Bayern Munich train at Prenton Park ahead of Liverpool clash - Duration: 4:21.

As one of football's heavyweights, Bayern Munich are accustomed to playing in some of Europe's finest stadiums

But the build-up to their Champions League tie with Liverpool on Tuesday night has taken the German team and their multi-millionaire stars into the unknown - Prenton Park, the home of Tranmere Rovers

Bayern's players trained there on Tuesday morning as they run through their final preparations before the last-16, first leg fixture at Anfield

Share this article Share The conspicuous bright red Bayern team coach rolled up outside Bayern's team hotel at 10am and by 11am they were at the League Two club's ground

A gaggle of autograph hunters were gathered in the car park as Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer and Robert Lewandowski walked in

Tranmere's home since 1912 has a capacity of 15,573, about one-fifth of Bayern's Allianz Arena stadium, and their average attendance this season is 6,036

Bayern will complete a light training session at Prenton Park ahead of their meeting with last season's Champions League finalists

 Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac feels Liverpool are the toughest draw his men could have been handed but has backed the Bavarians to get a positive result at Anfield on Tuesday

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were runners-up in the competition last season and are currently second in the Premier League, level on points with leaders Manchester City, who have played a game more

Kovac said at his pre-match press conference ahead of Tuesday's match: 'I want to say once again we are playing tomorrow against an opponent where it is the most difficult draw

'If you look at what Liverpool did in the Champions League last season, and what they are doing in the Premier League this season, then you have to say it is the most difficult draw that there is

'The atmosphere will definitely be good, but I'm sure my players have gone through a lot of big games with great atmospheres, so that's not an argument that we shouldn't be able to compete tomorrow

'We just have to get into the game, be focused, stand up to the first attacks and then we'll try to play our game, and (then) we can get a successful result

'The Champions League is undoubtedly special and tomorrow when the lads leave the hotel or come into the stadium, they'll know what it's about, why they need venues like this and opponents like this

'I'm completely convinced everybody will be right in the head and produce performances they have to to get a result tomorrow

'Bayern are currently second themselves, behind Klopp's old club Borussia Dortmund, in the Bundesliga, which they won last term for a sixth successive season

They exited last year's Champions League in the semi-finals.Former Bayern and Croatia player Kovac took charge at the club last summer, succeeding the retiring Jupp Heynckes

The visitors look set to be without Jerome Boateng on Tuesday, the defender having been hit by gastroenteritis and not travelled with the squad

Winger Franck Ribery is another player who did not come across from Germany with his team-mates on Monday, following the birth of his daughter during the night, but he was due to arrive ahead of the match

North Carolina House race marred by voter fraud scheme official Trump News Al Jazeera - Duration: 3:40.

North Carolina House race marred by voter fraud scheme official Trump News Al Jazeera

Election board official says absentee ballots were collected and in some cases filled out in favour of Republicans.

An investigation into a disputed 2018  congressional election in North Carolina has uncovered a "coordinated, unlawful and substantially resourced absentee ballot scheme" to influence the votes outcome, a state election board official said on Monday.

The scheme involved collecting absentee ballots in contravention of state laws, and, in some cases, filling out those ballots in favour of Republicans.

Investigators found evidence that a political operative working for Republican candidate Mark Harris collected absentee ballots from voters in the states ninth congressional district, the executive director of the states election board, Kim Strach, said at the start of a hearing that could lead to a new vote.

The scheme affected 1,019 ballot requests in Bladen and Robeson counties during the 2018 election, Strach said.

Harris declared victory in November over Democratic rival Dan McCready after early vote tallies showed him with a 905 vote lead, out of 282,717 ballots cast.

But the US House of Representatives seat has remained vacant as state officials have refused to certify Harriss apparent victory after voters said the Harris campaign team had collected their incomplete absentee ballots.

Republican political operative Leslie McCrae Dowless conducted an absentee ballot operation from April 2017 up to the 2018 elections while working for Red Dome Consulting, a firm hired by the Harris campaign, Strach said.

Lisa Britt, who said she worked for Dowless, testified that she collected unsealed ballots and filled them out in favour of Republicans at Dowlesss home or office. 

Britt said Dowless tried to prevent her from testifying at Mondays hearing by asking her to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination.

Dowless paid workers dollar 150 for every 50 absentee ballot requests they collected and another dollar 125 for every 50 ballots collected, Strach said.

Investigators found Dowless tried to avoid detection by instructing those who worked for him to deliver ballots to the post office in small batches and to ensure the same colour ink was used for forged witness signatures, Strach said.

State officials have named Dowless as a person of interest in their election fraud probe after voters in Bladen County said people working with Dowless came to their homes and collected ballots, which would violate state law.

Dowless and Harris both attended Mondays hearing in Raleigh. Dowless lawyer, Cynthia Adams Singletary, has denied her client violated state or federal campaign laws, and Harris has said he was unaware of any wrongdoing.

Under state law, the five member elections board could order a new vote if it finds sufficient evidence that fraud affected the outcome of the election. If it does not, it could certify Harris as the districts congressional representative.

"We hope to have Dr Harris certified so he can take his seat in the congressional district," said David Freedman, a lawyer representing Harris.

Representatives for McCready did not respond to a request for comment.

If the Democrats pick up the seat, they would widen their 235 197 majority in the House after taking control of the chamber from President Donald Trumps fellow Republicans in the November 6 election.

Sport TV - Chelsea news: Trio among most overpaid players in the Premier League – Top 10 revealed - Duration: 3:27.

 Chelsea have been sorely overpaying a number of their first-team stars, based on new data analysing wages compared to playing time

 The Blues enjoyed an excellent start to the season under new manager Maurizio Sarri but their form has tailed away of late and the Italian is now under pressure to keep his job

 Sarri has struggled to implement his preferred philosophy at Stamford Bridge, despite rigidly sticking with a first-choice starting XI at the expense of the remaining squad members

 Three Blues defenders in particular have not been justifying their hefty contracts after finding playing time limited under the new boss

 Research conducted by Thesman.com reveals that Victor Moses (now on loan at Fenerbahce), David Zappacosta and Gary Cahill are among the top 1 players who have been earning most per minute of Premier League action

 Moses reportedly earned £75,-a-week before his switch to Turkey but only played 26 minutes of top-flight action

 When subtracting any wages accrued while out injured, this means Moses clocked up £66,346 per minute of Premier League action

 Zappacosta has been pulling in £11,111 for every 6 seconds on the pitch while Cahill is more over-paid, having been frozen out by Sarri – but which other players are among the most overpaid based on their minutes on the pitch this season? (Data collected from August 1 to February 11)   Stefano Okaka (Watford) - £33,4 (Earnt £35, a week, played 22 minutes in the Premier League)  Sam Gallagher (Southampton) - £5, (Earns £4, a week, played 8 minutes in the Premier League)  Miguel Britos (Watford) - £5, (Earns £25, a week, played 13 minutes in the Premier League)  Victor Moses (Chelsea) - £66,346 (Earnt £75, a week, played 26 minutes in the Premier League)  Jermaine Defoe (Bournemouth) - £8,75 (Earnt £13,462 a week, played 22 minutes in the Premier League)  Davide Zappacosta (Chelsea) - £11,111 (Earns £7, a week, played 18 minutes in the Premier League)  Gary Cahill (Chelsea) - £123,81 (Earns £1, a week, played 21 minutes in the Premier League)  Georges-Kevin N'koudou (Tottenham Hotspur) - £218,75 (Earnt £35, a week, played 4 minutes in the Premier League)  Scott Dann (Crystal Palace) - £48, (Earns £6, a week, played 1 minute in the Premier League)  Pape Souare (Crystal Palace) - £63, (Earns £3, a week, played 1 minute in the Premier League)

Liverpool News - What Man Utd must do to sign Jadon Sancho this summer - Duration: 2:46.

 Manchester United clinching a top four spot is set to be key to their hopes of landing Jadon Sancho this summer

  United want to bring in a wide player who is comfortable on the right wing and have made Borussia Dortmund's teenage wonder kid Sancho their top target

  They are determined to land Sancho, 18, whose exploits since joining Dortmund from Manchester City have underlined his reputation as one of the best young players in football

 Sancho left City in August 2017 due to concerns about the lack of first-team opportunities he would get to improve as a player had he stayed

 He has received those chances since moving to Dortmund and sees playing at the highest possible level, in Europe's top club competition, as vital to his ongoing development

 Dortmund are currently Bundesliga leaders and almost certain to be playing in the Champions League next season with Germany's top four all qualifying directly for next season's group stage

  United, meanwhile, currently occupy fourth spot in the Premier League but are only a point ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal and remain locked in a battle to reach the Champions League again next season

 For now Dortmund insist Sancho, who is tied to the German giants until 2022, is not for sale at any price

 But an offer in excess of £100m, which would be a record paid by an English club, will be too hard for Dortmund to turn down

 City will benefit from any future sale of Sancho due to a 15% sell-on clause in the deal that took Sancho to Germany

 Sancho has been one of Dortmund's standout stars this season, scoring eight goals and setting up 13 more in 30 appearances

 He has also made his breakthrough into the England squad this season, winning his first three caps for the senior side
