United are seven points above the relegation zone, but are on the slide since Amorim took charge last month. Alexander Isak and Joelinton struck inside the first 19 minutes as United lost a third consecutive home league game since 1979. “That is really clear so we have to fight,” said Amorim on United being dragged into a relegation battle. “It is a really difficult moment, one of the more difficult moments in the history of Manchester United and we have to address it with honesty. “We have to fight in the next game.” Worse could be to come as United travel to runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday before facing Arsenal in the FA Cup third round. Amorim has come under criticism for refusing to budge from his 3-4-3 formation since joining from Sporting Lisbon, …

Manchester City Find Winning Formula As Nottingham Forest Go Second In Premier League

Published by Webster

Struggling Manchester City beat Leicester 2-0 on Sunday to notch just their second win in 14 games as Nottingham Forest climbed to second in the Premier League table. Ange Postecoglou suffered the intense frustration of watching his Tottenham side concede a late goal to draw 2-2 with rejuvenated Wolves. Defending champions City travelled to the King Power drained of confidence after just one win in all competitions since late October. Their frailties over the past two months, which resulted in nine defeats in their previous 13 games, were on display again. But Savinho’s first-half goal and an Erling Haaland header after the break earned a much-needed three points. Leicester provided a stern test and might feel they could have got something out of the match as Facundo Buonanotte hit the post and Jamie Vardy missed a key chance at 1-0 down. City’s bid for a fifth straight title looks to be over as they are 11 points behind leaders Liverpool, who have played two games fewer. But the result lifts them to fifth …

Chelsea Stunned By Fulham In Blow To Premier League Title Hopes

Published by Webster

Fulham scored twice in the final 10 minutes to end Chelsea’s 12-game unbeaten run in all competitions with a stunning 2-1 Premier League win at Stamford Bridge. Substitutes Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz shocked the Blues to secure Fulham’s first away win at their west London rivals since 1979. Defeat leaves second-placed Chelsea still four points adrift of leaders Liverpool, who have two games in hand over their nearest challengers, starting with the visit of Leicester later on Thursday. Victory lifts Fulham up to eighth, level on points with champions Manchester City, and within just one point of fifth-placed Newcastle to further their European ambitions for next season. “It is a privilege to give our fans this happiness,” said Fulham boss Marco Silva. “Second half the reaction was top. It is not a coincidence that we are the team in the Premier League that has got the most goals from players off the bench.” Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has insisted in recent weeks that his young side are not yet cut out for …

Published by Webster

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim earned his first Premier League win with a 4-0 rout of Everton, while troubled Manchester City will try to revive their fading title hopes in a blockbuster clash against leaders Liverpool later on Sunday. Fifth-placed City will kick-off at Anfield in the unusual position of being outside the top four after Chelsea climbed to third place with a 3-0 win against spluttering Aston Villa. While fans across the world eagerly awaited the Liverpool’s showdown with City, Amorim stole the spotlight in Sunday’s early games by extending his unbeaten start with United to three matches. United were held to a 1-1 draw at Ipswich in his first Premier League game last Sunday, before the Portuguese boss earned his maiden win with United in a 3-2 success against Bodo/Glimt at Old Trafford in the Europa League on Thursday. The 39-year-old, who arrived from Sporting Lisbon to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag in November, has warned United would “suffer for a long period” before they can expect to challenge for …

Massive Blow For Liverpool, Lose Star Defender Ibrahima Konate For Huge Manchester City Game

File image of Ibrahima Konate© X (Twitter) Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has expressed his frustration at suffering a knee injury that will rule him out of Sunday’s top-of-the-table Premier League clash against Manchester City. Konate picked up the issue in the dying seconds of the Reds’ 2-0 Champions League win over Real Madrid after a clash with Brazilian striker Endrick. The French international’s form has been key to Liverpool’s stunning start to Arne Slot’s time in charge. Liverpool are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League and have won all five of their Champions League games. Konate has started every Premier League and Champions League match since replacing Jarell Quansah at half-time of the season opener at Ipswich. Liverpool have not disclosed how long the 25-year-old will be sidelined, but reports suggest he could miss up to six weeks. “So frustrating to pick up this injury right at the end of a great game on Wednesday night,” Konate wrote on Instagram. “Now we start the recovery process but one thing …

West Ham Pile More Pressure On Erik Ten Hag, Cole Palmer Fires Chelsea To Victory

Published by Webster

West Ham piled more pressure on beleaguered Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag with a dramatic 2-1 win on Sunday as Cole Palmer inspired Chelsea to a victory by the same scoreline over Newcastle. Tottenham were beaten 1-0 at Crystal Palace, who picked up their first win of the season. Liverpool can go back to the top of the table with victory away at Arsenal in the biggest clash of the Premier League weekend later on Sunday. Ten Hag was left to rue a familiar lack of ruthlessness as United’s fourth league defeat in nine games will spark further speculation on how long he will be given to turn the Red Devils’ fortunes around. The visitors should have been out of sight by half-time at the London Stadium. Alejandro Garnacho hit the woodwork inside two minutes and Edson Alvarez also headed off his own crossbar. But it was Diogo Dalot who missed the biggest chance when the Portuguese international somehow fired over with the goal gaping after rounding Lukasz Fabianski. Under-fire West Ham …

Published by Webster

Liverpool passed a major test of their Premier League title credentials to move back to the top of the table by beating Chelsea 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday. Mohamed Salah‘s penalty and Curtis Jones’ winner made it 10 wins in 11 games for the Reds since Arne Slot took charge. Nicolas Jackson briefly levelled for Chelsea in the second half, but they slipped to a first league defeat since losing to Manchester City on the opening weekend of the season.

Chelsea are now seven points off the top down in sixth, but there was plenty cause for optimism for the Blues from a performance that stretched Liverpool to their limits. Liverpool’s only defeat under Slot came to Nottingham Forest following September’s international break. The Dutchman responded by this time leaving all of his South American internationals — Alexis Mac Allister, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez — on the bench after their exertions …
