It’s a rather unusual set of Premier League timings today. 3pm traditionalists won’t be happy. All times GMT.
12:30 Brighton v Liverpool
15:00 Fulham v Burnley
17:30 Everton v Chelsea
20:00 Leeds v Brentford
Going to any of these? Travel plans home if you support Brentford?
The cause of Manchester United’s anger? John Brewin explains in his match report.
The United away contingent, previously quietened, returned to previous brash Manc swagger mode before outrage descended. Another penalty call looked plumb when Amad Diallo was baulked by Adrien Truffert but within seconds Bournemouth were level, Ryan Christie’s low shot rolling beyond an unsighted Senne Lammens. United’s hopes of video assistance rescue were dashed after a tense wait and the protestations continued post-match. “When it’s the bigger players they end up giving the fouls,” said Fernandes, suggesting Diallo’s size had counted against him. “That could’ve changed the game.
Preamble
Happy Saturday everyone. Hope you’ve woken up full of the joys. The Premier League has taken a bit of flak in recent times for not being entertaining enough but last night’s game at the Vitality Stadium didn’t short change anyone. Perhaps Bournemouth and Manchester United should play more often as their two meetings this season have ended a combined 6-6. We’ll have reaction to yesterday’s 2-2 draw soon and it includes a penalty debate – of course it does - that caused plenty of fury in the United camp.
There’s another big game on the south coast today with Brighton hosting Liverpool. Can the Reds build on their 4-0 thumping of Galatasaray or will they again go into full frustration mode? That’s one of four Premier League fixtures today.
And if you can’t wait until kick-off at Brighton (12.30pm), don’t fear as there are no less than four Women’s Super League games getting under way at midday. They include leaders Manchester City at home to Tottenham.
Here at Matchday live we’ll bring you all the buildup to today’s games and much, much more. And, as always, please get in touch with your thoughts, predictions and matchday musings here.
Vamos!
