L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest|Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary   Arsenal have an awkward away test on Wednesday night as they take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The Gunners enter this bout off the back of a terrible weekend which saw their Premier League title hopes slim further. A 1-0 defeat to West Ham on Saturday was followed up by Liverpool’s first win at the Etihad in a decade, and the Reds, who could’ve had their lead trimmed to five points on Saturday afternoon, now have an 11-point advantage. It’s not done yet, but only a monumental collapse on Merseyside and a lengthy winning run will thrust Mikel Arteta’s side back into the race. Nottingham Forest have lost back-to-back games, but they’re mightily tough to beat on home soil and will be keen to return to winning ways under the lights. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have been one of the stories of the season, but their recent dip has congested the top half of the Premier League table. While th...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Ipwish| Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary  Manchester United will look to arrest a woeful run of home form when they welcome relegation favourites Ipswich Town to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday. Ipswich were thrashed again at the weekend, edging them closer towards an instant return to the Championship, while Man United were fortunate to leave Goodison Park with a point in a game against Everton mired in controversy. On their final visit to Goodison Park early on Saturday, Man United fought back from 2-0 down to take a point off Everton, but were slightly fortunate to take anything from the match. Another under-par performance from Ruben Amorim’s men meant they had no complaints about being two goals down, and it could have been more before Bruno Fernandes fired them back into the game from a free kick. Manuel Ugarte levelled the scoreline a few minutes later, before the Red Devils avoided punishment for a tug on the s...

L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs West Ham| Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary   Arsenal have found a solution to their problems up top as they welcome West Ham United to the Emirates this weekend. With Kai Havertz joining Gabriel Jesus in being ruled out for the rest of the season, Mikel Arteta was forced to experiment with his side last weekend against Leicester. With Leandro Trossard failing to finding his way through in a central role and Raheem Sterling ineffective on the left, Mikel Merino was called upon in another roll of the dice. This time, it worked. With Trossard pushed wide and Merino operating as a makeshift centre forward, the Spaniard bagged two goals that ensured Arsenal remained in the Premier League title race for another week. The Gunners boss will surely opt for that set-up from the start on Saturday afternoon with Ethan Nwaneri putting in a thrilling performance on the right of that attack. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are still recovering from hamstring...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Everton| Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary  David Moyes will look to inflict more misery on his former side when Everton host Manchester United in Premier League action this weekend. The Toffees have enjoyed a marvellous turnaround since the Scot returned to Goodison Park for a second stint. Sat 16th, one point off the relegation zone, Everton have morphed into the league’s in-form side, picking up 13 points with four wins in six matches. Everton have eased above United in the table with their relegation fears surely over. Goodison will still be bouncing after last week’s Merseyside derby thriller with United reeling from defeat at Tottenham on Sunday and a fresh batch of injury problems. Amad Diallo’s season is over, joining Lisandro Martinez on the injured list with Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw also still sidelined. United are also set to be without Kobbie Mainoo until April with the midfielder ruled out for six weeks with ...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Tottenham| Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary  Ange Postecoglou passionately defended his side after the FA Cup defeat against Aston Villa last Sunday having been left to manage a staggering injury crisis over the last 10 weeks. 11 players were still missing last weekend but there is hope Destiny Udogie, James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario will be back in training this week and could be in contention to return for the visit of Ruben Amorim’s side. Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner and Wilson Odobert are also close to rejoining the group while Dominic Solanke is not thought to be far behind. The former Bournemouth striker picked up a knee injury in mid-January. Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero have both endured injury-hit seasons with Poestecoglou set to provide an update on the pair and the rest of his squad on Friday. Van de Ven made his return from a hamstring problem last month, playing 45 minutes in the Europa League victory over El...

L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Leicester|Epl| Engl!sh commentary   Manchester United will be looking to book their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup tonight. United face Leicester City in the fourth round of a competition they won last season. Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to return to Old Trafford with Foxes following his spell in interim charge of United prior to Ruben Amorim’s appointment. With their league campaign already looking over, United’s priority should be the Europa League this season but the FA Cup should not be ignored. As United know all too well, the winners of the world’s oldest cup competition will earn a place in next season’s Europa League along with the obvious glory that comes with being FA Cup winners – qualification for Europe and silverware added to the trophy cabinet would represent a solid return for a team ostensibly destined for a bottom-half Premier League finish. Altay Bayindir should be given the nod ahead of Andre Onana. Lisandro Mar...

L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Crystal Palace|Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary   Looking to record their fourth straight win across all competitions, Manchester United will welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. The Red Devils took care of business on the Europa League stage in Romania on Thursday night, whilst the Eagles have been afforded a full week to dwell on their top-flight defeat to Brentford last time out. After an eighth-placed finish under the stewardship of Erik ten Hag last season, it appears as if Man United are on course for their worst-ever Premier League campaign with Ruben Amorim at the helm, although the Portuguese coach has guided Sunday’s hosts to an upturn in their fortunes over recent times. A Thursday night jaunt to Romania was on the agenda for the Red Devils earlier in the week, when second-half efforts from Diogo Dalot and Kobbie Mainoo sealed maximum points against FCSB, meaning that the Old Traff...
