⚽ Keep up with the latest news before the weekend’s action⚽ Premier League: 10 things to look out for | And email JohnHere’s our usual lookahead, including to tonight’s game at Bournemouth.Unbeaten in the league since their Friday night opener at Anfield, Bournemouth’s early momentum has been stalled by consecutive draws: at home to Newcastle and at Leeds last week.

Arsenal substitutes have scored in five consecutive games and a sense of purpose is growing in Arteta’s sideGabriel Martinelli started the sequence when he came off the bench to open the scoring in Arsenal’s 2-0 Champions League win at Athletic Bilbao last month. He continued it when he came on again in their next game to conjure the stoppage-time equaliser against Manchester City in the Premier League.

3 d. ago Jim Ratcliffe has returned to Nice and they are struggling again

A pattern familiar to Manchester United fans is emerging at Nice: every time the owners intervene results start to tankBy Get French Football NewsWhat if correlation did imply causation? The “best season” of Ineos’s ownership of Nice correlated with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co being forcibly distanced from the club due to Uefa regulations. “They have been so much better without our interference,” admitted Ratcliffe last season, as Nice achieved their highest league finish since 2017. With Nice and Manchester United no longer competing in the same European competition, Ineos regained operational control of the French club at the start of the summer and have only corroborated Ratcliffe’s previous assertion.Already out of the Champions League at the first hurdle having been outplayed by Benfica in the qualifiers at the start of August, Nice have lost three of their first six games in Ligue 1 as well as losing their Europa League opener against Roma last Wednesday. “We can’t say that we’re...
