Steven Gerrard has emerged as the frontrunner to become Burnley's new manager after the Clarets sacked Nicky Hayen following a heavy 4-1 defeat at Lincoln City. The former Aston Villa and Rangers boss has been out of the dugout since leaving Al-Ettifaq in January 2025, but he could now return to take charge of a club stuck in the Championship relegation zone.
Bournemouth secured a dominant 4-0 victory over Lincoln City in the EFL Cup third round to earn Marco Rose his first competitive win as manager. A remarkable Ryan Christie hat-trick and a late Rayan strike comfortably booked the Cherries' place in the fourth round.
