Liverpool's Premier League clash with Fulham was delayed on Sunday afternoon. The Reds' match at Craven Cottage was due to kick off at 15:00 (GMT), but had to be pushed back due to a medical emergency inside the stadium. Arne Slot's side travelled to west London as part of an action-packed day of action in England's top flight.
United States men's national team star Brenden Aaronson scored a brilliant goal to give Leeds United a 1-0 lead in an epic Premier League clash with Manchester United on Sunday. Aaronson has developed into a key player under Daniel Farke, and produced a nerveless finish to give the Elland Road side a deserved lead.
Matheus Cunha spared Manchester United's blushes by snatching a 1-1 draw against rivals Leeds United on Sunday, but Benjamin Sekso endured one of his worst performances for the Red Devils, looking on a different page to his team-mates before missing the target with a close-range sitter.
Liverpool have explained why Hugo Ekitike does not form part of their matchday squad for a Premier League clash with Fulham. The Reds have seen their attacking options further depleted for a trip to Craven Cottage. They are already without Swedish frontman Alexander Isak, with the £125 million ($168m) striker nursing an injury, while Mohamed Salah is on Africa Cup of Nations duty.
Jamie Carragher has predicted when Mohamed Salah will receive his grand send-off from Liverpool. The Egypt international took aim at the club before jetting off with Egypt to the Africa Cup of Nations, insisting they had thrown him under the bus, and Carragher has now put his neck on the line by attempting to predict when he will leave the club.
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has hailed Martin Zubimendi, claiming that the midfielder has been "unreal" after the Gunners beat Bournemouth 3-2 to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table. Mikel Arteta's side moved six points clear of Aston Villa with their victory on the south coast.
Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior has been forced to deflect intense questioning over his future, amid intense links with Chelsea. The Blues have parted ways with Enzo Maresca and are now searching for a replacement, with Rosenior, the manager of their BlueCo sister club, viewed as a current frontrunner.
Raheem Sterling is reportedly not limiting his options to clubs in London as the winger seeks an exit from Chelsea during the January transfer window. Sterling was omitted from the Blues' Premier League and Champions League squads for this season, while he has been training away from the first team and with the 'bomb squad' instead.
Declan Rice admitted that he was "fuming" after missing Arsenal's victory over Aston Villa with a knee injury. The England midfielder returned to action with a brace against Bournemouth, such was his desperation to prove his worth as the Gunners returned to the Premier League's summit.
Enzo Maresca chose against demanding a £14 million ($19m) pay-off from Chelsea when he walked out of Stamford Bridge. The Italian and the Blues have parted company after a dismal run saw the Blues fall away from league leaders Arsenal, sitting 15 points behind the Gunners at the time of his exit.
We reached the midway point of the Premier League season on Thursday night, with Arsenal holding a very promising four-point advantage at the top of the table as the Gunners look to end an agonising, 22-year title drought, and their chances of doing so have only increased after Saturday's hard-fought win at Bournemouth. Of course, Manchester City are very dangerous chasers - as Arsenal know to their considerable cost - and Aston Villa will obviously be hoping to stay in touch even after their chastening 4-1 defeat at the Emirates on Tuesday.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hailed "world class" Declan Rice, who shrugged off injury to score two goals in a man-of-the-match performance as the Gunners beat Bournemouth 3-2 at the Vitality Stadium. Arsenal now enjoy a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table and Arteta has singled out Rice for the highest praise as his title challenge continues to gather momentum.
Ruben Amorim has defended himself against criticism that he does not take enough risks with Manchester United by insisting they are one of the most attacking teams in the Premier League. The coach has seen his tactics slammed by former Red Devils' greats such as Gary Neville and Paul Scholes in recent weeks while fans have taken against his substitutions.
Ruben Amorim had a tetchy exchange with a reporter as he refused to explain why he is veering from the 3-4-3 formation he wanted to build his Manchester United side around. The Portuguese was asked three times during Friday's press conference before facing Leeds what he had meant with previous comments about his change of heart. But each time he shied away from giving an answer.
Arsenal beat Bournemouth 3-2 to open up a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, a victory which puts them on a superior trajectory to the legendary Invincibles of the 2003-04 season. The Gunners landed the title that season and the stats are adding up very favourably for Mikel Arteta’s side as they bid to land the club’s first league title in 22 long years.
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has offered an update on Antoine Semenyo amid talk the winger is on the brink of a £65 million move to Manchester City. Semenyo played for Bournemouth against Arsenal on Saturday and, according to his manager, is set to feature for the Cherries again on Wednesday night against Tottenham in the Premier League at the Vitality Stadium.
Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister has issued a frank assessment of Liverpool’s season so far and revealed he believes the club made too many changes too quickly, which has caused the club to make a dreadful start to the defence of their Premier League title. And while the Argentina star has written off title hopes, he still believes his team can still enjoy success this season.
Declan Rice scored two superb second-half goals as Arsenal came from behind to seal a dramatic 3-2 success at Bournemouth and move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table. Rice, who was a doubt leading up to the game after missing the midweek victory against Aston Villa due to a knee injury, showed once again how crucial he is to Mikel Arteta's table-toppers with his decisive strikes which ensured the Gunners kicked off 2026 with a win.
Manchester City ace Nathan Ake admits that Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman has told him that he must play more if he is to make the international squad for the 2026 World Cup. The defender has made just two starts in the Premier League so far this season and has hinted at the prospect of a January exit amid reported interest from Catalan giants Barcelona.
Enzo Maresca may be out of a job, but has been tipped to bounce back at another high level club following his surprise early departure from Chelsea. Maresca exited Stamford Bridge after a run of just one win in seven, but Premier League all-time top goalscorer Alan Shearer believes the Italian could walk into another top job in England or elsewhere as his reputation remains high, despite the troubled end to his time in west London.
West Ham were beaten 3-0 by Wolves on Saturday in a result that has left the club in dire relegation trouble and piled more pressure on manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Alan Shearer has called out the "pathetic" performance of the Hammers, as they were beaten by a Wolves team rooted to the bottom of the table and without a single win prior to kick-off at Molineux.
Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike admits it is "difficult" to know that he is playing regularly for the Reds because of Alexander Isak's leg fracture. The £125 million ($168m) signing from Newcastle scored against Tottenham but, in doing so, was challenged by Micky van de Ven, and has since been ruled out for a significant period due to a leg fracture that required surgery.
Brighton CEO Paul Barber has sent out a strong message to Manchester United over the future of Carlos Baleba, as he insists the midfielder is "not for sale" in either the January transfer window or the summer. Ruben Amorim's side are reported to be interested in signing the midfielder this month, but the Seagulls are not minded to allow him to leave.
Harvey Elliott looks like he has already played his last Aston Villa game as manager Unai Emery revealed the decision over his future was made months ago. The playmaker swapped Liverpool for the Villans on a season-long loan move but he has barely featured for the West Midlands outfit this season. The 22-year-old is now stuck between a rock and a hard place amid his uncertain future.
