⚽ 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. Fulham visit the Vitality on Friday, offering Andoni Iraola’s side a presentable chance of recapturing winning ways and going second in the table. After a turbulent summer, Iraola has sought consistency in his team selection. Trailing 2-1 at Leeds, the Bournemouth manager made a triple change to restore three usual starters – David Brooks, Alex Scott and Marcus Tavernier – to his XI and was rewarded with a late leveller. Bournemouth have also maintained defensive stability, conceding just once in four games between the trips to Liverpool and Leeds. Marcos Senesi, often playing in an otherwise brand-new back five, has b...

Federal workers’ move offers Democrats a chance to win the budget battle – and their identityThe Federal Unionists Network (FUN) and 35 national, state and local unions have written a letter to the Democratic congressional leadership – Chuck Schumer in the Senate and Hakeem Jeffries in the House, urging them to hold out against Republicans in the budget negotiations, even if it means a government shutdown and halted paychecks.

He’s got undeniable rhythm and if the band leader can just remain upright, until December, he’s got as much chance of winning as anyone. And probably slightly more than Thomas Skinner. A judgment based largely on Saturday’s chaotic group dance, where 15 couples performed...
