Man Utd dealt blow as star seen at OT yesterday currently at Carrington this morning for treatment due to injury
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes visits Carrington for treatment on October 26, 2026, after playing through an injury last month. He was a late warm‑up substitute, entering at the 58th minute against Bournemouth, and Michael Carrick’s earlier claim that he was fully fit appears premature. Fernandes, who hasn’t started since May 4, 2025, has lost possession over 100 times this Premier League season, and United have gone winless in their last eight games. The injury update could impact United’s struggling campaign and the mounting pressure on Carrick.
Bruno Fernandes now makes his feelings clear after Carrick dropped him from Man Utd starting XI yesterday
Bruno Fernandes sits out Manchester United’s 3-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth after Michael Carrankick leaves him off the starting XI. United trailed 2-0 at halftime and conceded a third in the 71st minute, despite Fernandes warming up. The Portuguese midfielder, who previously blamed Carrankick for United’s 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como, vents his frustration on social media. With United winless in eight league games and only two victories in 12 across all competitions, Carrankick’s job hangs in the balance ahead of the upcoming Chelsea clash.
Palace eye surprise move for 'fantastic' coach who is 'very difficult to play against' to replace Sage, 55yo has been out of a job for eight months
Crystal Palace may fire Pierre Sage after a 2-0 loss to Newcastle and target Sean Dyche as a surprise replacement, The Telegraph reports. Sage has won just 2 of 8 Premier League games (D1, L5) and sits one point above relegated Nottingham Forest, where Dyche was sacked in February after a brief stint. Dyche, 55, is praised for making teams “very difficult to play against” and boasts a decade at Burnley, including promotion twice, six‑year top‑flight stay and a 7th‑place Europa League finish in 2017/18, plus a relegation‑battle rescue at Everton. Palace also list Thomas Frank and Vítor Pereira as candidates.
'I'll be absolutely over the moon': Arsenal star desperate for England recall for impressing Tuchel with 7/10 display vs Everton
Arsenal defender Ben White is pushing for an England recall after a standout 7/10 display in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Everton on Oct. 26, 2026. He set up Gabriel Magalhês’ 68th‑minute goal and has registered three assists in seven Premier League matches this season. With England manager Thomas Tuchel watching from the Emirates, White hopes his performance secures a spot in the upcoming Nations League squad against Croatia and Spain. After a turbulent international spell—including a 2022 World Cup exit, a mixed friendly against Uruguay and a knee injury that cost him the Champions League final—White says a recall would make him “absolutely over the moon.”
Why Carrick has dropped Bruno Fernandes from Man Utd starting XI today
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick benches Bruno Fernandes for today’s Premier League clash with AFC Bournemouth, opting for Bryan Mbeumo instead. Carrick cites tactical reasons as United seek to snap a seven‑game winless streak. Fernandes, criticised for his lackluster form and a public gripe over tactics after a 4‑1 Champions League loss to Como, has struggled to create chances and has lost possession repeatedly. The decision comes amid intense pressure on Carrick, whose early‑season results have put his job at risk. A win could revive United’s fortunes, while a defeat might seal Carrick’s fate.
Crystal Palace predicted XI vs NUFC: Sage starts 'intelligent' defender to add experience, while 29yo leads the line
Crystal Palace host Newcastle United at Selhurst Park, aiming for a first‑ever back‑to‑back Premier League wins. Manager Pierre Sage, under pressure after conceding 17 goals in seven games and a 5‑0 loss to Brighton, may reinstate “intelligent” defender Axel Disasi to steady a leaky back line. Dean Henderson is on the cusp of returning from a foot injury, while striker Jean‑Philippe Mateta leads the attack. Newcastle, coached by Matthias Jaissle, seek to halt a slide with four goals conceded in their last two away defeats. Palace’s predicted 3‑4‑2‑1 includes Walter Benitez, Chris Richards and Dwight McNeil.
Predicted Sunderland XI vs Leeds: Hat-trick hero set for first PL start in nearly two months as 31yo veteran with 334 apps anchors defence
Sunderland host Leeds United at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, desperate for a win after slipping to bottom of the Premier League with just four points from seven games. Manager Regís Le Bris could revive his squad by starting hat‑trick hero Brian Brobbey, who has not started in the league since his two‑goal burst against Manchester City two months ago. The defence will be anchored by 31‑year‑old veteran Luke O’Nien, a 334‑appearance stalwart, alongside Omar Alderete, Reinildo Mandava and Nordi Mukiele. With Kevin Danso suspended, the predicted 4‑2‑3‑1 includes Robin Roefs in goal, midfield pair Noah Sadiki and Granit Xhaka, and forwards Trai Hume, Habib Diarra and Enzo Leé Fee supporting Brobbey.
Leeds United predicted XI: Farke starts very 'capable' star in attack, 29yo ace will support him
Leeds United travel to Sunderland on October 25, aiming to snap a seven‑match winless streak. Manager Daniel Farke hopes the side, which has 10 points from seven games, can turn recent encouraging displays into a win at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland sit bottom with just four points but boast three home clean‑sheet victories. Injuries sideline Dominic Calvert‑Lewin, Anton Stach, Noah Okafor and Joe Rodon, while Daniel James returns to training. The predicted 3‑4‑2‑1 lineup features Lukas Nmecha leading the attack alongside Harry Wilson, with James Trafford in goal.
5/12 passes, 0/4 crosses - Chelsea star endured his worst game in Blue vs Spurs, he was absolutely tortured
Chelsea fall 2-0 to Tottenham at Stamford Bridge as defensive lapses and tactical missteps dominate the night. Young left‑back Josh Acheampong endures his worst Chelsea outing, completing just five of 12 passes, no crosses and losing possession 12 times while trying to contain Mathys Tel. The loss is compounded by a red card for Cole Palmer, an own‑goal by Mike Penders and João Pedro’s pre‑match injury, leaving the Blues without firepower and exposing serious defensive frailties.
Liverpool now making serious moves to sign this La Liga winger, PL rivals sent scouts to watch him
Liverpool are ramping up their pursuit of Valencia winger David Otorbi, reportedly ready to meet his €30 million release clause after his breakout season of ten La Liga appearances. Valencia, however, aim to extend his contract to 2031 and double the clause to €60 million to keep the academy star, who follows in the footsteps of Villa, Silva and Mata. The Reds, still missing a right‑flank partner for Salah, aren’t alone; Newcastle scouts have also watched Otorbi. The tug‑of‑war highlights Liverpool’s urgent need for a new winger.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Iraola to return 'special talent' to familiar role as 27yo star makes back-to-back PL starts after injury scare
Liverpool eye a top‑four push as they host Brighton on Sunday, hoping to extend a three‑game winning run sparked by a 4‑3 Champions League thriller over Villarreal. Sitting fifth with 12 points, they trail Brighton by four and need a win to keep pace with Manchester City and Arsenal. Manager Andoni Iraola may restore Ryan Gravenberch to a deeper midfield role, while 27‑year‑old Alexander Isak, back from a thigh injury, is set for back‑to‑back Premier League starts after five goals in six games. Predicted lineup: Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Nyoni, Mac Allister; Barcola, Wirtz, Ngumoha; Isak.
Predicted Brighton XI: Hurzeler to ring the changes after midweek setback with 24yo star set for first PL start in over two months
Brighton head to Anfield on October 25, 2026, riding an eight‑match unbeaten run (W6‑D2) that includes wins over Arsenal and Crystal Palace. Manager Fabian Hurzeler is likely to restore a settled back four of Ferdi Kadioglu, Lewis Dunk, Luka Vuskovic and Oscar Boscagli, with Bart Verbruggen in goal. Midfield will feature the Pascal Gross–Chem Andres duo, while 24‑year‑old Georginio Rutter returns for his first Premier League start in over two months, possibly replacing Yasin Ayari at number 10. The attacking line stays anchored by Charalampos Kostoulas, flanked by Maxim De Cuyper and Diego Gomes. Brighton have won only once in their last nine trips to Liverpool, but their current form makes the Anfield clash anything but routine.
'Magic' - Spurs star delivers unforgettable performance vs Chelsea, it was his best game since January 2025
Tottenham Hotspur beat Chelsea 2-0 on October 24, 2026, moving further from the relegation zone. Defender Mike Penders own‑goal gave Spurs the lead, and 21‑year‑old winger Mathys Tel sealed the win with a solo strike, his best performance since joining in January 2025. Tel recorded two key passes, 33 of 39 passes completed, five dribbles and five progressive carries, showing why he deserves a regular spot as Savio remains injured. The win marks Spurs’ second consecutive league victory after a six‑game winless run.
Predicted Newcastle XI: Jaissle to restore 'really valuable' star to the line-up as £51m ace drops out after five-game drought
Newcastle United aim to halt a slump on Sunday at Crystal Palace after three defeats in four games. Manager Matthias Jaissle, who began with an unbeaten five‑match run, now faces defensive frailties highlighted by a 4‑1 loss to Coventry and a dip in scoring to just one goal per match in the last four fixtures. The Magpies sit 11th in the table, two spots above a Palace side eager to notch back‑to‑back wins over them. Jaissle’s predicted 4‑2‑3‑1 includes goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek, a back four of Miley, Thiaw, Botman and Hall, midfielders Nico Gonzalez and Joelinton, and a revived attacking line featuring Jacob Murphy, William Osula, Harvey Barnes and Yoane Wissa.
Chelsea 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur: Hapless Blues punished for lacklustre display as Spurs end Stamford Bridge nightmares
Chelsea fall 0-2 to Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, marking only their second home league loss to Spurs in 37 meetings and ending a six‑game unbeaten run. A rain‑slick pitch sees Tottenham dominate possession, and a rare own‑goal by Chelsea keeper Mike Penders gives Spurs the lead. After Cole Palmer’s red card reduces Chelsea to ten men, Mathys Tel caps the win with a late finish. The result lifts Tottenham to 12th with their first away win of the season, while Chelsea now face tough fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester United.
Nicolas Jackson brace secures 2-1 win for Aston Villa over Manchester City as Unai Emery's side extend unbeaten run to seven games
Nicolas Jackson nets a brace to give Aston Villa a 2‑1 victory over Manchester City at Villa Park, marking Villa’s first Premier League home win of the season and extending their unbeaten streak to seven games (W6, D1). After an early goal from Jackson, City equalise through Erling Haaland, but Jackson’s second strike under Gianluigi Donnarumma restores the lead. Goalkeeper Zion Suzuki makes multiple crucial saves, including a cross‑bar tip from Josko Gvardiol, as Unai Emery’s side hold out to snap City’s run of seven straight league wins.
Arsenal boost as injured trio spotted on team walk this morning ahead of Everton game
Arsenal get a morale boost ahead of today’s Premier League clash with Everton as three previously injured players join the team walk. Defender Piero Hincapié, midfielder Martin Zubimendi and youngster Max Dowman have all recovered from recent ankle, warm‑down and toe injuries, respectively, and could be available for selection. With Bukayo Saka sidelined for weeks after a quad strain, Arteta will likely rely on the likes of 16‑year‑old Noni Madueke to fill the gap. Everton, who have lost only once in seven league games, pose a tough test for the Gunners.
Aston Villa predicted XI: Emery starts 'positive' ace at the back, but 20yo star drops to the bench despite breakout performance
Aston Villa host Manchester City on Saturday at Villa Park, with both clubs entering in good form – Villa unbeaten in seven across all competitions but still seeking their first home Premier League win, and City on a seven‑match league streak. Emery’s predicted 4‑2‑3‑1 includes a backline anchored by Victor Lindelof and Pau Torres, while 20‑year‑old star Alysson drops to the bench as captain John McGinn returns on the right flank. Injury concerns linger for Amadou Onana, Aaron Wan‑Bissaka and others, and midfielder Boubacar Kamara partners Joao Gomes. The Villans aim to turn European momentum into a domestic victory.
Everton predicted XI: Moyes starts 'hybrid' star after AMN's struggles last week, 20yo forces his way back into the team
Everton look to rebound from their first Premier League loss as they travel to face Arsenal on October 26. David Moyes sticks with a defensively‑oriented setup, fielding centre‑backs James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite, while a ‘hybrid’ Jake O’Brien shifts to right‑back. Midfielders James Garner and Harrison Armstrong partner Kiernan Dewsbury‑Hall, with 20‑year‑old Tyrique George returning to the front line alongside Jack Grealish and striker Thierno Barry. Arsenal, missing Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, chase a third straight win, while Everton try to convert their recent draws into points.
Spurs predicted XI vs Chelsea: 'Fantastic' leader starts in defence, De Zerbi calls on combative star to tame Palmer
Tottenham travel to Stamford Bridge on Saturday after snapping a six‑game winless streak with a 3-1 win over Coventry, courtesy of goals from James Maddison, Omar Marmoush and Ben Davies. Despite the boost, Chelsea have dominated the fixture, winning the last six Premier League meetings and sitting in the top four with 17 goals this season. Spurs’ Roberto De Zerby can count on a fit Andrew Robertson alongside Pedro Porro, while Rodrigo Bentancur remains suspended. Predicted XI features Antonín Kinský, Robertson, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Porro, Gallagher, Tonali, Kudus, Maddison, Marmoush and Solanke. The clash offers Spurs a chance to prove their attacking spark against a strong Chelsea side.
Huge boost for Tottenham as 'outstanding' 27yo star returns to face Chelsea, he's set to play for the first time in over a month
Tottenham Hotspur may get a major lift for Saturday’s London derby as right‑back Pedro Porro trains with the squad for the first time in over a month. The 26‑year‑old, sidelined by a hamstring injury sustained in the 3‑2 loss to Aston Villa, was cleared to train on Thursday and could be fit for the clash at Stamford Bridge. Spurs, fresh from a 3‑1 win over Coventry, also hope forward Omar Marmoush has avoided a serious calf issue. However, injuries still loom: Lucas Bergvall, Savio, Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons, Mykhailo Mudryk and Destiny Udogie are doubtful, Bentancur serves a suspension and Kulusevski remains a bench option.
Carrick involved in heated argument with 27yo Man Utd star at half-time v Como, words were exchanged
Manchester United’s 4-1 Champions League loss to Como on October 22, 2026 turned controversial when manager Michael Carrick reportedly clashed with 27‑year‑old striker Matheus Cunha at half‑time. Carrick was angry over Cunha’s performance and the youngster’s frustration at being substituted sparked a heated exchange in the dressing‑room. United’s woes continued as they fell to a seventh‑game winless streak, with goals from Nico Paz, Anastasios Douvikas and an Argentine playmaker sealing the defeat. The incident has fueled speculation that Carrick’s tenure may be ending, especially with United linked to several high‑profile coaches.
Arsenal must now rely on 24yo star to deliver the goods as key player suffers damning setback
Arsenal lose Bukayo Saka to a leg injury in the first 10 minutes of their Champions League tie at Bayern Munich, forcing an early tactical reshuffle. 24‑year‑old Eze replaces him, while Noni Madueke shifts to the right wing. With Christos Tzolis already out, Arteta’s wing options narrow to Eze, Madueke and Max Dowman ahead of a hectic 17‑day schedule that includes a crucial Anfield clash. Saka, who has four goals and an assist in 11 games, may miss the next matches if the injury proves serious.
Man United make surprise contract plan for 28yo star as £50m summer transfer plot emerges
Manchester United are planning a defensive overhaul for next summer, with 28‑year‑old Lisandro Martinez likely to leave after four seasons. The Argentine, who joined for £57 million and has made 118 appearances, is out of contract in June and the club may trigger a 12‑month extension before selling him to avoid a free exit. His recent thigh injury and criticism of United’s transfer policy have added to a troubled spell, and United remain interested in Everton centre‑back Jarrad Branthwaite as they also assess the futures of Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire.
Crystal Palace predicted XI v Besiktas: Sage gambles on 70-cap int'L star to partner Wharton, La Masia graduate also starts
Crystal Palace travel to Istanbul for Thursday’s Europa League clash with Besiktas after consecutive away defeats, including a 5-0 loss to Brighton that left new manager Pierre Sage under pressure. Besiktas arrive in form, boasting seven goals in two European games and four straight home wins. Palace have scored six but conceded three in their first two Europa matches and must tighten defence. Sage’s predicted XI features 70‑cap Colombian Jefferson Lerma alongside Adam Wharton in midfield, Oscar Mingueza at right wing‑back and Jorgen Strand Larsen up front, with Ben Chilwell back from injury but Dean Henderson omitted.
