DAILY TELEGRAPH: Tottenham went head to head with Chelsea last night when they reacted to Roman Abramovich's club were seeking a stadium sponsor by claiming the potential commercial interests could get more from giving their name to Spurs' new stadium. Also: The return to the international fold of Jonny Wilkinson and Steve Thompson has excited much interest but as significant is the rehabilitation of flanker Lewis Moody, 20 months after he wrecked his Achilles against Wales.

DAILY EXPRESS: David Haye has promised to blow the world heavyweight boxing scene apart by becoming the first fighter to knock out WBA champion Russian Nikolai Valuev - seven stones heavier than him, in Germany tonight. Also: Liverpool are set to ignore a specialist's advice over Fernando Torres and hope that he will be fit to play against Birmingham on Monday - despite being told he needs a rest.

THE GUARDIAN: Carlo Ancelotti will only dip into the transfer market during the midwinter window in January if injuries to key players leave his squad depleted. Also: Phil Brown has played down suggestions that defeat against Stoke tomorrow will see him sacked but one of his players, Seyi Olofinjana, claimed the Hull manager does need to sharpen up his act.

DAILY STAR: Carlo Ancelotti last night wound up Manchester United by claiming Chelsea will target their weak link. Also: Arsenal are planning life without skipper Cesc Fabregas by lining up a £15million swoop for Germany playmaker Mesut Ozil. Also: Seyi Olofinjana has turned up the heat on Phil Brown by insisting he needs to improve if he is to save his job - and Hull from relegation.

THE INDEPENDENT: Fernando Torres has returned from his flying visit to a medical clinic in Valencia to tell his manager, Rafael Benitez, that he still wants to avoid surgery for the hernia injury which restricted his movement in Liverpool's agonising Champions League draw at Lyons in midweek. Also: Carlo Ancelotti has claimed Manchester United lost more than just three points when they were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool a fortnight ago; they gave away the key to how to beat them.

DAILY MAIL: Chelsea have been cleared to launch a January spending spree but manager Carlo Ancelotti has reacted strangely, insisting he does not need any new signings. Also: England prop Phil Vickery will miss the start of the RBS Six Nations despite undergoing successful neck surgery.

THE TIMES: Carlo Ancelotti claimed yesterday that Liverpool can no longer win the Barclays Premier League title, although such a dismissive attitude will not stop him seeking to follow their example when Chelsea face Manchester United. Also: Harry Redknapp is adamant that his decision to sell Darren Bent to Sunderland last summer will ''never haunt'' him in spite of the striker's fine start to his career at Wearside.

DAILY MIRROR: Darren Bent has admitted he never felt wanted at Tottenham, right from the moment he signed. Also: David Haye has made light of Nikolai Valuev's massive seven-stone advantage ahead of his Nuremberg trial tonight.
