L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Crystal Palace|Prem!er League|Engl!sh commentary  Arsenal take to the field for the final time before the start of their Champions League semi-final with Paris Saint-Germain, as they face Crystal Palace on Wednesday night. The success of the Gunners' campaign will be determined by whether they end the season as European champions for the first time, with Liverpool on the brink on securing the Premier League title. Defeat for Mikel Arteta's side in midweek will seal the Reds' glorious fate with a month of the campaign remaining. The Arsenal boss is bound to shuffle his pack again on Wednesday after a convincing win at Portman Road. Here's how the Gunners could line up against the Eagles. Arsenal predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace (4-3-3) GK: David Raya - It's been a great couple of days for Raya's Golden Glove pursuit after the Spaniard's clean sheet at Ipswich was followed up by Matz Sels conceding late on at Spurs. It's a ba...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Ipwish|Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary Arsenal make the trip East to play against relegation-threatened Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon. The Gunners come off a historic win against Real Madrid in the Champions League, where they went to the Bernabeu and won 2-1 in the second leg of their quarter-final tie. It meant that they won 5-1 on aggregate, booking a spot in the semi-finals with Paris Saint-Germain. However, their Premier League form hasn’t been so strong, as Mikel Arteta‘s side have won just one of their last three games. Plus, with Newcastle United just four points behind them in third, they will be quietly looking over their shoulder. Ben White replaces Timber in defence GK – David Raya – The fact that Raya conceded just one goal in two games against Real Madrid deserves some plaudits. LB – Myles Lewis-Skelly – The 18-year-old played all 90 minutes against Madrid on Wednesday, but despite that, we give him the start here. CB – William Sal...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Wolves|Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary  Manchester United are aiming to build on their chaotic European victory over Lyon when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Red Devils produced an astonishing turnaround during their topsy-turvy Europa League quarter-final second leg with the French side, scoring three quick-fire goals at the end of extra-time to avoid embarrassment against their ten-man visitors. Their late comeback has booked them a clash with Athletic Club in the semi-finals as they chase continental salvation at the end of a miserable season. Perhaps the midweek triumph can prove a turning point for Ruben Amorim’s side but there have been plenty of false dawns for United across the campaign. They could come crashing back down to earth this weekend against one of the Premier League’s most in-form sides. Wolves have been in exceptional form over recent weeks and sit second in the table based on results across their past fiv...

L!VESTREAM : Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Lyon| Europa league| Engl!sh commentary   Man Utd play their biggest match of the season against Lyon on Thursday night and this is how they could line up. Ruben Amorim might already know the line up he will choose when Manchester United face Lyon in their crucial Europa League quarter-final second leg. United are certain to record their lowest ever finish in the Premier League but will hope to salvage their season with Champions League qualification. In order to do so they must overcome Ligue 1 side Lyon at Old Trafford on Thursday night, in a match that will define their season, with the result certain to dictate their summer transfer plans. The tie is level 2-2 on aggregate after the first leg last week and Amorim has some huge selection decisions to make. Andre Onana was dropped against Newcastle at the weekend but could return for the match, while Rasmus Hojlund is the only choice in attack after injury to Joshua Zirkzee. Here is ho...

 L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Real Madrid| Champ!ons league|Engl!sh commentary  Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is sweating over the fitness of key midfielder Thomas Partey ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. The Ghana midfielder scored the opening goal in the weekend’s 1-1 draw with Brentford in the Premier League but was then forced off shortly afterwards with a knock of unspecified severity Partey seems to have avoided a serious problem, but he will need a once-over alongside Jorginho and Ben White, the former of whom suffered a blow to the ribs against the Bees after White was ruled out before kickoff. Partey was fielded as an emergency right-back at the weekend, but Jurrien Timber will no doubt come back into the fray at the Bernabeu, where Myles Lewis-Skelly will attempt to nullify Rodrygo yet again. As Riccardo Calafiori’s knee is still giving him grief, Jakub Kiwior – hailed for his defensive display alongside Will...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Newcastle|Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary  Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim will have to decide whether to keep faith with Andre Onana for Sunday’s Premier League meeting with Newcastle United at St James’ Park. The Man United goalkeeper was at fault for both of Lyon’s goals in Thursday’s 2-2 draw in the Europa League quarter-final first leg Amorim now has a tough decision as to whether to stick with Onana for the weekend, or take him out of the spotlight ahead of next week’s return fixture against Lyon. The Man United boss may be tempted to opt for the latter by giving Altay Bayindir the chance to make his Premier League debut against the Magpies. Harry Maguire could drop out of the backline in a bid to manage minutes, which could see Victor Lindelof start in defence alongside Noussair Mazraoui and Leny Yoro. Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu are set to keep their spots at right and left wing-back respectively, although there could b...

  Arsenal are poised for a return to Earth this weekend following the otherworldly highs of Tuesday night. After welcoming the galacticos of Real Madrid to north London in the week, the Emirates is now preparing for the visit of Brentford on Saturday evening. While bereft of household names – Bryan Mbeumo notwithstanding – Thomas Frank’s side are well-drilled opposition who have proven to be mightily tough to beat on their travels in 2025. The Bees have rumbled Mikel Arteta’s outfit before, and there’s scope for the visitors to have more joy against the Gunners this weekend. Arteta will surely be prioritising Wednesday’s all-important trip to the Spanish capital, so we should expect his Arsenal XI to be heavily rotated from Tuesday’s 3-0 victory. Here’s how the Gunners could line up against Brentford in the Premier League. Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Brentford (4-3-3) GK: David Raya – Raya’s performance understandably went under the radar in midweek, but he was brilliant. He’s been...

 L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Lyon| Europa League|Engl!sh commentary  Olympique Lyonnais have been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride this season — equal parts chaos and charm — and they’re set to bring that same unpredictable energy when Manchester United come calling at Parc OL this weekend. Lyon’s Ligue 1 campaign has been a goal fest, with a jaw-dropping 92 goals flying in across just 28 matches. Their flair for the dramatic hasn’t been limited to domestic duties either — it’s spilled over into European nights as well. Despite being banished from the Ligue 1 dugout, Paulo Fonseca will be back barking orders from the touchline after overseeing a 2-1 win over Lille that was anything but dull. On the flip side, Manchester United have become a bit of a snoozefest. Ruben Amorim is still trying to make sense of a squad that’s painfully average up top, both in terms of talent and depth. A lifeless stalemate in the Manchester Derby that left fans checking their watche...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Real Madrid|Champ!ons league| Engl!sh commentary  Arsenal welcome Real Madrid to the Emirates for the very first time on Tuesday night as the pair face off in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. The Gunners have been excellent in Europe this season, with a third-place finish in the all-new league phase being followed up by an emphatic 9-3 aggregate victory over PSV Eindhoven in the round of 16. Knockout triumphs shouldn’t be taken for granted, and Arsenal’s comfortable triumph over the Dutch champions has set the stage for this grand occasion, This is the club’s first competitive meeting with Madrid in 19 years, when the two sides played out a stalemate at Highbury after the Gunners became the first English club to win at the Santiago Bernabey by virtue of Thierry Henry’s stunning solo goal. Madrid are laden with superstars and expected to prevail over two legs, but their fallibility has manifested time and time again this seas...

L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Manchester City|Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary   Manchester City will be without Erling Haaland when they take on Manchester United in another heated derby this weekend. Haaland limped out of City’s FA Cup quarter-final victory over Bournemouth on Sunday, leaving the Vitality Stadium wearing a protective boot and walking on crutches. City’s worst fears were confirmed early this week with the Norway international facing up to seven weeks on the sidelines having been sent to a specialist to discover the full extent of the injury. Injury experts have told Metro Haaland’s season could even be over. Omar Marmoush will deputise in his place again, scoring with his first touch after replacing Haaland at Bournemouth and hitting the target again against Leicester City on Wednesday night. Elsewhere, City remain without Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji at the back with John Stones’ return date still unknown after he was forced off in the defeat to R...

 L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Everton|premier league|Engl!sh commentary  Arsenal continue to linger in the Premier League title race thanks to victory over Fulham midweek as they attempt an unlikely comeback against leaders Liverpool. But despite the positive result and return of Bukayo Saka, injuries have hit the Gunners once more, this time with star defender Gabriel Magalhaes going down with an issue described as “not good” by Mikel Arteta. The Spaniard now faces an injury crisis, especially at the back with issues around the availability of Ben White and Jurrien Timber too. Next week’s Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid will be at the back of Arteta’s mind during preparation for this weekend’s trip to face Everton Here is the latest injury updates for Arsenal’s doubts and how they could line up at Goodison Park. Gabriel Magalhaes The Brazilian went down in the first half of Tuesday’s Premier League match against Fulham and will now have scans to determine t...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest| Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary  Fresh off booking their place at Wembley, Nottingham Forest are back in Premier League action on Tuesday night as they welcome Manchester United to the City Ground. For the third consecutive round, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side required penalties to advance in the FA Cup. Their 4-3 shootout victory over Brighton followed a cagey stalemate, and Forest will now face Manchester City in the semi-finals as they aim to end their 35-year wait for a major domestic honour. It’s been a special season at the City Ground, with back-to-back league wins before the break emboldening Forest’s chances of playing Champions League football next season. They enter Tuesday’s game third in the Premier League table and five points clear of Chelsea in fourth. Man Utd, remarkably, are hunting back-to-back league wins for the first time this season. Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils enjoyed perhaps their most productiv...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Fulham|Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary  Arsenal host Fulham at the Emirates in the Premier League on Tuesday night. The Gunners will be looking to tighten their grip on second place, and make sure Liverpool don’t run away with the title too early in the season. The Mersysiders sit 12 points ahead of Mikel Arteta’s men, with nine games left to play. Arsenal had 14 players on international duty, although they’ve had almost a week back at London Colney to prepare for the clash with the Cottagers, and thus, Arteta’s squad should be well rested and raring to go. Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Fulham Bukayo Saka returned to training last week and is expected to be in contention to feature in some capacity against Fulham. The Englishman’s potential availability will be the big talking point, although it’s likely that Arteta won’t rush him back and could revert to using Ethan Nwaneri on the right and Gabriel Martinelli on the left. Leandro Trossard start...
