Derby manager Billy Davies has left the Premier League strugglers after talks with chairman Adam Pearson. The club are two points adrift at the foot of the table following a 2-0 defeat by Chelsea on Saturday.

Davies, who has become the fifth managerial casualty in the Premier League so far this season, put a question mark over his future back in May after steering Derby to promotion.

But he signed a contract extension until June 2010 after talks with the board and ex-chairman Peter Gadsby, although that was another controversial episode in his tenure at the club.

Derby now play fellow relegation battlers Sunderland on Saturday before facing Manchester United.


Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has again risked the wrath of the club's American owners by openly questioning their transfer policy.

The rift between Benitez and Liverpool's American owners has led to speculation in a number of newspapers that the Spaniard's job is under threat, with Jose Mourinho in line to replace him.

His position could be further weakened if Liverpool fail to beat Porto on Wednesday - a result which would see them almost certainly eliminated from the Champions League.
