66 h. ago Rasmus Højlund ends goal drought as Manchester United cruise past Leicester

Jamie Vardy rolled the ball into the Manchester United net to huge cheers and about 10 minutes later, amid swirling rain, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s name echoed around this stadium. The only problem for Leicester City was Vardy sent the ball over the line during a break in play while Ayden Heaven, forced off early in the second half, received treatment, and it was the United supporters singing about Van Nistelrooy. The Dutchman took charge of United in the reverse fixture in November, signing off from his spell in interim charge with a 3-0 victory, but this time he was on the receiving end of the same scoreline.That four-match unbeaten run with United must feel halcyonic for Van Nistelrooy, who has now lost 13 of his past 14 league matches. The numbers make grisly reading: Leicester have not scored here since early December and after firing blanks in this defeat they recorded unwanted history, becoming the first Premier League team to lose seven home matches in a row without scoring.

2 d. ago Merino strike proves the difference as strikerless Arsenal sink Chelsea

Mikel Arteta had promised that Arsenal would not give up on their title dream easily and, although they remain 12 points behind the champions-elect Liverpool after one of the most comfortable 1-0 victories you will see, there remains hope in north London.Mikel Merino’s first-half goal - his first since 15 February in the league and Arsenal’s 11th of the season from a corner but first since New Year’s Day – proved enough to see off a toothless Chelsea side who looked badly short of inspiration without their talisman Cole Palmer to secure a first win in four league matches.

A time when the clubs were old Third Division mainstays may be a distant, chintzy memory now both are upwardly mobile, model organisations but Bournemouth have still not beaten Brentford in the Premier League. For a club with now very different horizons, this was a most costly defeat.If Thomas Frank’s hopes of taking his team into Europe rely on a collision of coefficients, coincidences and collapses then Bournemouth’s fade is coming at a bad time. Andoni Iraola’s team lost their early flow to be sunk by the set-piece expertise that brought goals for Yoane Wissa and Christian Nørgaard. And a fourth defeat in six. Continue reading...

8 d. ago Newcastle close in on top four after Guimarães pounces to see off West Ham

The level will have to rise when Newcastle return to London with designs on ending their long wait for silverware this weekend. This scrappy performance is unlikely to have sent a shiver down Liverpool’s spine before the Carabao Cup final, although there were positives for Eddie Howe to dwell on after his side boosted their hopes of Champions League qualification with a forgettable win over West Ham.It was vital that spirits were lifted after the blow of exiting the FA Cup a week ago. The avoidance of further injuries was welcome and Howe could take satisfaction from a first clean sheet in over a month before Newcastle attempt to keep Mohamed Salah quiet. Liverpool, though, will presumably pose more questions than a cautious, limited West Ham attack managed here. Newcastle, who were clearly holding back at times, were comfortable after Bruno Guimarães scored the goal that lifted them two points off fourth place. Continue reading...

9 d. ago Rice strike and Raya saves help Arsenal rescue point at Manchester United

Ruben Amorim had set the bar low, as he so often has sought to do during his tumultuous four months in charge at Manchester United. “We just need to survive,” the manager said as he assessed what used to be the must-see fixture of the English calendar, wary of a selection crisis that would deprive him of 11 players.United did more than that and they were so close to cutting through the gloom at Old Trafford, all of the multi-layered problems, with an overdue victory. “Well, at least we’ve got Bruno,” read the cover of the United We Stand fanzine which was on sale outside the stadium. Never a truer sentence. Continue reading...

9 d. ago Cucurella gives Chelsea narrow win over Leicester after Palmer spot

Some Chelsea fans remain standoffish with Enzo Maresca, even after seeing their side creep back into top four with 10 matches to go. The sense remains that the Stamford Bridge regulars will take some convincing on the merits of the careful, possession-heavy nature of Marescaball. Shifting opinions will require more than this edgy 1-0 win over Leicester.This was hardly emphatic against opponents who look certain to return to the Championship after losing 12 of their past 13 games. Chelsea were pallid and disjointed in attack for long spells – Cole Palmer, who remains in a creative funk, saw his barren run extend to nine matches without a goal after spurning an early penalty – and there were moments when the crowd’s patience with Maresca sounded stretched.

9 d. ago Maresca warns fans over ‘PlayStation’ expectations after Cucurella calms noise

Some Chelsea supporters remain standoffish with Enzo Maresca, even after seeing their side creep back into top four. The sense remains that Stamford Bridge regulars will take some convincing on the merits of the careful, possession-heavy nature of Marescaball. It is not exactly setting pulses racing at the moment and it was telling that the mood was far from harmonious during this win against Leicester City.Maresca seemed to be letting out a lot of frustration when he reacted to Marc Cucurella breaking the deadlock after an hour of stodginess by gesturing angrily for fans to make more noise. The grumbling about his team’s backwards and sideways ­passing had struck a nerve. Then again Maresca could hardly ­complain if there was dissatis­faction about Chelsea ­labouring against ­opponents who look certain to return to the Championship after losing 12 of their past 13 games.
