Out of favour and out of form, is Arsenals Theo Walcott facing a fight for his England place ahead of Euro 2016? Saturdays trip to Goodison Park provided some welcome relief for Arsenal, but for Theo Walcott the 2-0 win was another reminder of just how far down the pecking order he has fallen.In a must-win game for Arsenals fading title hopes, the 27-year-old was an unused substitute as rookie teenager Alex Iwobi marked his first Premier League start with a man-of-the-match performance and a crucial goal. Iwobis impact is likely to keep Walcott on the bench when Watford visit the Emirates Stadium after the international break. It appears Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud are Arsene Wengers favoured options up front, while Joel Campbell and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have also been preferred on the flanks. Kane tops Power Rankings Tottenhams Harry Kane stays top of the Sky Sports Power Rankings after the weekends games. It all adds up to just three starts in 13 games for Arsenals No 14. His underwhelming recent cameos have done little to suggest he warrants more regular playing time, and a dismal display at Old Trafford last month yielded just 17 touches and six successful passes in 63 minutes on the pitch. Theo Walcott only touched the ball 17 times in 63 minutes during Arsenals 3-2 by Manchester United at Old Trafford in February It was a far cry from the Gunners 3-0 win over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in October, when Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness described Walcotts electrifying performance as his best in an Arsenal shirt. The forward looked well placed for an extended run as their central striker, but an injury halted his progress just three weeks later.Fitness problems and inconsistent form have become themes of Walcotts career, and since returning from a calf injury in December he has been well below his best. His goals against Manchester City and Leicester were valuable contributions, but an overall tally of just eight in 36 appearances this season speaks volumes of his struggles. Theo Walcott rues a missed chance in Arsenals defeat to Chelsea earlier this season It also raises questions of his status within the England squad. Some observers considered him fortunate to be called up by Roy Hodgson for the upcoming friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands given his poor club form, and it is currently difficult to see where he would fit into the starting XI at Euro 2016.Assuming Hodgson persists with a front three, one of the biggest questions facing the England boss will be who he selects to lead the line. With Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Daniel Sturridge and Welbeck in fine form and Wayne Rooney still to return from injury, Walcotts chances of getting the nod look remote in the extreme.

While Welbeck, Sturridge and Vardy could potentially switch to the flanks, the likes of Raheem Sterling and Adam Lallana will also be hoping to start.Thats before even considering the likes of Dele Alli, Jesse Lingard and his Arsenal team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while Hodgson might also seek to accommodate Evertons Ross Barkley if he uses Rooney at No 10. Theo Walcott in action during Englands Euro 2016 Qualifier against Estonia Walcott has plenty of work to do at both club and international level in the weeks ahead. If he is to play a meaningful role in France this summer, then he must start seizing the opportunities that come his way. The next fortnight with England would be a good time to start.Do you think Walcott deserves a place for England and Arsenal? Leave a comment below or tweet us @SkyFootball.

TORONTO -- Sidney Crosby has been surrounded by the best hockey players on the planet at the World Cup of Hockey, and still seems as if he is in a class by himself.Hes probably the best player of our generation, Canada goaltender Carey Price said.The Pittsburgh Penguins superstar has a World Cup-high nine points -- two more than anyone else -- and is within a win of adding another accomplishment to his Hockey Hall of Fame-ready resume. Canada will play Team Europe in Game 2 on Thursday night, leading the best-of-three series 1-0.The eight-nation European team has been led lately by Tomas Tatar, who scored his teams only goal in a 3-1 loss Tuesday night. The Slovakian forward scored twice, including the game-winner, in a 3-2 overtime victory over Sweden in the semifinals on Sunday.Tatar, who plays for the Detroit Red Wings, acknowledged he is inspired by Crosbys greatness. And he knows slowing Crosby down is a key to forcing a Game 3 on Saturday night.Im not saying one guy should be standing by him, but we should be always aware of where he is on the ice, Tatar said.Crosby has been much more effective than he was in his last best-on-best tournament appearance. He had only one goal and two assists at the 2014 Sochi Games, where he won his second Olympic gold medal.In the World Cup opener against the Czech Republic alone, he produced as many points with a goal and two assists in a sensational stretch of the game that lasted less than 20 minutes.Crosby insisted he could not care less that he has already tripled the number of points he had in Russia.I just want to win, he said. At the end of the day, thats what you want to do. In Sochi, it was more about why werent we scoring, low-sccoring games, and the teams we were playing were supposed to be winning by a certain amount of goals.ddddddddddddAt the end of the day, we were winning games, he said. Its always nice to score, but we knew that we had to play a certain way and sometimes that meant not scoring five or six to win.Mike Babcock, Crosbys coach at the previous two Olympics, put Crosby on a line with Boston Bruins teammates Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron at the World Cup. The trio has combined for 22 points in five games.He got feeling it early, Babcock said. And, hes feeling it and he thinks its going in.Crosby has continued the roll he started last season when he won his second Stanley Cup and was named the postseason MVP with 19 points in 24 games. He was the runner-up for the Hart Trophy, coming close to being named NHL MVP for the third time in his career. And, he finished a career-high seventh in voting for the Selke Trophy that recognizes the leagues best defensive forward.Hes been obviously playing really well since last December, said Zdeno Chara, a Team Europe defenseman who also plays for the Bruins. He really raised his game.Canadian and Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said Crosby is probably playing better than he ever has.The three tournaments Ive had the opportunity, I would say hes playing unbelievable, Doughty said. Things are working for him now. Hes hot. Not that he didnt play well at the other tournaments, he just didnt get his hot.---Follow Larry Lage at www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at www.bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage ' ' '
