Ange Postecoglou Targets Vital Win Facing Forest, Women's Super League Action, plus Ipswich Town v Norwich City Showdown

Some fixtures feel out of place. Perhaps you can imagine with a twist of fate back in the 1970s, football legends could have been leading their side in Eastern Europe against Valeriy Lobanovskyi’s cybernauts, but this European tie is a game that provokes a double-take.

In today’s football landscape. Ukraine is battling invasion, its teams diminished. The Premier League is extremely rich. And Crystal Palace are managed by an emerging coaching star in continental football. They faced off in midweek, and Palace emerged victorious fairly comfortably. It was their third straight win, a 19-game undefeated streak without losing.

Therefore, because no mid-size club gets the chance to relish success, all the talk is of where Oliver Glasner might go next. His agreement ends when the campaign concludes, and he has refused to sign an extension. Now aged 51; if he wants to manage a major club with the possibility of an extended spell in charge, his window is narrow to find a new role. Might he be the answer for Manchester United?

In Manchester, the dark clouds lifted yesterday as Sesko found form in the attack and Mason Mount got themselves on the scoresheet. Post-match Mount insisted that the team fully supports the struggling coach.

Arsenal, another squad dubbed as potential title winners, easily beat their London rivals on Saturday yet there was a downside. Martin Ødegaard picked up a knee injury forcing him off in the first half. After netting, the opening goal, left the pitch with a back injury.

Liverpool’s third defeat consecutively has seen the spotlight move on on the partnership, or missing chemistry, among Salah and Isak. Liverpool failed to penetrate their opponents lacking nearly all their preferred defensive pairing. The Reds’ boss is not concerned, yet: With increased game time their understanding will grow,” Slot commented. It requires great effort to achieve a high standard and staying there is difficult in the sport since you compete against very good teams to remain consistent.

Greetings and welcome to Sunday’s Matchday live! Before we head off for international duty we have one more action-packed day of Premier League action, including five matches and the chance for UK viewers to use multi-screen via Sky TV with four of those at 2pm.

Earlier in the day, four fixtures in the WSL. The standout game features Spurs against Brighton, two teams hoping to reach European qualification.

For top-flight action, the narrative comes from the Magpies’ stadium excluding the home side, who are simply going about their business.
