Fights broke out among supporters in the vicinity of St James’ Park ahead of Newcastle’s derby date with arch-rivals Sunderland. Two old adversaries are locking horns again in Premier League competition and there was always going to be an edge to proceedings, with local bragging rights at stake alongside precious points, but some fans allowed passions to get the better of them.
Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes admits that Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been his “toughest opponent” down the years, with the pair establishing a bitter rivalry.

Manchester United have stepped up their search for a midfield anchor after holding a private meeting with the representatives of Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes.

Chelsea’s stance on sacking beleaguered boss Liam Rosenior has been revealed, with the Blues enduring a dismal run of four consecutive defeats across Premier League and Champions League competition.

Tottenham interim head coach Igor Tudor has laughed off suggestions that he mistook a member of the Spurs backroom staff for Liverpool manager Arne Slot during a recent trip to Anfield.

What's the cheapest way to watch as much Premier League football a season?
Currently, the most cost efficient package looks to be picking up a TV deal through Virgin Media or EE TV.
Existing TV or broadband customers can add TNT Sports to Virgin Media for £12 per month and Sky Sports for £31.75 per month, adding on Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
EE TV (formerly BT TV) also provide their Big Sport deal which includes TNT Sports and Sky Sports via NOW TV, for £45 per month, which is available for existing broadband customers, with the addition of Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
However, when it comes to bang for your buck, if you’re wanting to spend a little less, then the Complete Sky Sports package from an additional £22 per month on top of your current Sky TV deal is the best option, giving you over 128 games across a single season.
