Chelsea host Manchester City in the Premier League this afternoon seeking to earn back-to-back league wins after they triumphed over Tottenham in a bizarre and highly entertaining encounter last time out. Mauricio Pochettino’s men defeated Spurs 4-1 but struggled to break down the north London outfit after they had been reduced to nine-men due to red cards for Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie. Raheem Sterling set up Nicolas Jackson in the 75th minute which broke Tottenham’s resolve and two further late goals for the 22-year-old striker saw him complete an unlikely hat-trick. That win took the Blues back into the top-10 and they will be hoping to make further inroads up the table with a positive result at Stamford Bridge. In contrast, Man City hammered Bournemouth 6-1 before competently sweeping aside Young Boys 3-0 in the Champions League during the week. Pep Guardiola’s men are in top form and despite Chelsea earning a much needed win on their previous outing Pochettino’s men will be up against it today.

Tens of thousands of women in Iceland are due to take part in the country’s first day-long strike in almost 50 years to raise awareness of gender-based violence and the gender pay gap. Katrin Jakobsdottir, Iceland’s prime minister, will participate in the protest, which will involve women and non-binary people stopping paid and unpaid labour on Tuesday. Workers from a range of sectors have said they will take part in the women’s strike, which is the first day-long protest since 1975, when women also downed tools and stopped work. Sonja Yr Porbergssdottir, chair of the Icelandic Federation for Public Workers, told The Independent: “Workers from all major industries are taking part: healthcare workers, teachers, service workers, finance workers, care workers, energy workers etc. “We also expect women and non-binary people on parental leave, the elderly, disabled people and others outside of the labour market to participate.” She said it is hard to gauge how many people will participate, but explained that more than 25,000 women took part in the 1975 strike, and she hopes that the number taking part in Tuesday’s event will top this figure. “The support of the women’s strike is widespread – schools are being closed, health services will be at the bare minimum, and major companies have made statements about support, so it will be a major event in any case,” she added. Ms Porbergssdottir noted that “significant strides” have been made since the 1975 strike, but cautioned that women still earn 21 per cent less than men. “Occupations traditionally associated with women are consistently undervalued and underpaid,” she added. “Sectors such as cleaning, childcare and caregiving are some of the lowest paid in society, disproportionately affecting women. Furthermore, women still bear the primary responsibility for childcare, perpetuating inequality.” Ms Porbergssdottir said that the strike also seeks to raise awareness of gender-based violence, as she explained that transgender people, women with disabilities, and women of colour endure higher levels of violence. The original protest, dubbed “Women’s Day Off” or “Kvennafri” in Icelandic, brought the nation to a standstill as women refused to work, perform childcare, or cook. Some 90 per cent of Icelandic women are estimated to have stopped work for the day, with schools shut down and flights cancelled due to a dearth of staff. Children were brought to work by their fathers because of a lack of childcare. The protest triggered far-reaching change in the country: Iceland subsequently elected the first woman to be an elected president in the world, and rolled out its first Gender Equality Act. BSRB, the country’s biggest federation of public worker unions, along with 31 associations, is taking part in the strike, according to local publication Mbl.is. “First and foremost, I am showing solidarity with Icelandic women with this,” the country’s prime minister told the news outlet. The protest’s organisers want the strike to raise awareness of sexual violence and domestic abuse as well as the undervaluing of sectors in which women are over-represented. Campaigners hope more people will participate in Tuesday’s protest than took part in the 1975 strike. The World Economic Forum recently declared Iceland the world’s most gender-equal nation for the 14th year in a row. Read More ‘18 more months, baby.
