Juanma Lillo has made two changes to the City side for this afternoon’s Premier League meeting with Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. Bernardo Silva, returning after illness kept him out of the Newcastle game, replaces Phil Foden, who drops to the bench. Nathan Ake, who was among the substitutes against the Magpies, comes in against the Blades in place of Manuel Akanji, who's not fully fit. City are aiming for three wins in a row to start the Premier League campaign, which would be the first time we’ve done that since the first season under Pep Guardiola in 2016/17, when we defeated Sunderland, Stoke City and West Ham

'It's a very bad day' - Saint-Maximin Saint-Maximin was quick to offer his goalkeeper a word after the game, with Pope surely feeling pretty awful after his role in the Magpies' defeat tonight.  He told Sky Sports: 'It’s a very bad day. I feel sad for Nick Pope because he tried to help the team. It’s a bad red card for the team because he won’t be able to play the [Carabao] Cup final. He helped us to be in that situation, so we need to support him and get behind him as a team. 'I think we played very well. We had the first chance with Miggy [Almiron] and after that they scored straight away. It was painful, but we just kept going to try to create more chances. Even with 10 men, we kept playing very well. We still had many chances, so I think it’s very positive to see how we can play with 10 men. 'Even though Liverpool aren’t in the top positions at the moment, they’re still a great team. They showed that today. I think we need to be focused for the cup game,...

Manchester United will be hoping to return to winning ways when they host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford in their second home match of the new Premier League season on Kilamity live stream. Erik ten Hag’s side were fortunate to defeat Wolves on the opening day and well underperformed when they were beaten by Tottenham a week ago. United have won their last 10 meetings with Forest in all competitions by an aggregate score of 36-3. They won all four meetings last season without conceding a single goal. Steve Cooper’s side have won just one of 20 away Premier League games, with their 14 away defeats being the most of any current top-flight side in that time. In terms of team news, Luke Shaw misses the match through injury, while summer signing Rasmus Hojlund is still not ready to feature. Anthony Martial makes his first start of the season.

Kiwior starts at the back in place of Tomiyasu Trossard returns in attack with Nketiah on the bench Jesus named in our matchday squad for the first time this season. We go in search of our straight win to start the campaign against Fulham - and looking at the history books, the omens are strong for us to maintain our 100 per cent record. That’s because we have never lost a home league game against the Cottagers in 30 meetings - the most one team has faced another at home without ever losing in English league history. And if you’re more interested in recent times, then Fulham are winless in their last 10 games against us home and away, and have failed to prevent us scoring since February 2009. We also have very differing recent records when it comes to London derbies, with us unbeaten in our last 13 capital clashes including Monday’s win at Crystal Palace, while the Whites' 3-0 home loss to Brentford extended their winless run against London rivals to seven. Welcome to our li...

SPURS fans appear to have bought into the Angeball hype as they celebrated last weekend’s excellent win over Manchester United. And they should brace themselves for another entertaining affair this weekend away at Bournemouth. Despite being met with a wave of skepticism and distrust because he had ‘only’ managed in Scottish football and having to sell club legend Harry Kane, Ange Postecoglou can be very satisfied with the start he’s made. He’s promised attacking football and he gave the fans that in their deserved win over United last week.

  Chelsea vs Luton: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today L uton  travel to  Chelsea  to kickstart this weekend’s  Premier League  action as  Mauricio Pochettino  searches for his first win in charge of the Blues. The new Chelsea boss has not won either of his first two outings despite some promising moments, and a defeat to a newly-promoted Hatters side would pile the pressure on. Even at this early stage of the season, the Blues simply have to win. The optics of losing to Luton in the eyes of their fans, with all due respect to Rob Edwards and his team, are hardly worth considering. The Hatters have not played since their opening weekend defeat to Brighton but have little to lose on their trip to west London. Chelsea vs Luton is scheduled for an 8pm kick-off time on Friday 25 August, 2023. Stamford Bridge in London will host. Where to watch Chelsea vs Luton TV channel : The g...

Manchester United and Mason Greenwood have mutually agreed that his future will be away from the club following the conclusion of their internal investigation. ‍ Mason Greenwood statement; I want to start by saying I understand that people will judge me because of what they have seen and heard on social media, and I know people will think the worst. I was brought up to know that violence or abuse in any relationship is wrong, I did not do the things I was accused of, and in February I was cleared of all charges. However, I fully accept I made mistakes in my relationship, and I take my share of responsibility for the situations which led to the social media post. I am learning to understand my responsibilities to set a good example as a professional footballer, and I’m focused on the big responsibility of being a father, as well as a good partner. Today’s decision has been part of a collaborative process between Manchester United, my family and me. The best decision for us all, is for m...

ASTON VILLA entertain Everton on Kilamity live stream in a meeting between two teams who have had contrasting starts to the new Premier League season. Bedding in a number of new signings was always going to be a tricky task for Dean Smith who’s new-look team appear to be going through a period of transition. Villa have managed just a single win from their opening four matches, a 2-0 victory against Newcastle in their first home fixture of the new campaign. However, Smith’s side showed real signs of encouragement in a spirited 3-0 loss at Chelsea last time out but in-form Everton will present Villa with another stern test this weekend.

Chelsea will be looking to get their first win of the Premier League season this afternoon as they make the short trip to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United.

MANCHESTER CITY entertain Newcastle United in what should be a mouthwatering Premier League clash in a Saturday night showdown on Kilamity live stream. The champions and treble winners added the European Super Cup to their bulging trophy cabinet this week after getting the better of Sevilla following a penalty shootout. It was their first Super Cup triumph. However, they were hit with a real hammer blow this week with the news that key man Kevin de Bruyne will be missing for the rest of the year after a bad hamstring injury. That may tempt Pep Guardiola to go back to the transfer market, but he will have to deal with a very real challenge from Newcastle this week first.

Leicester City will be hoping to maintain their perfect start to the season when they play host to Cardiff City in the Championship on Saturday afternoon. At a time when the Foxes sit in second position in the standings, the Bluebirds are in 17th spot after failing to win either of their opening two fixtures.   Nevertheless, the East Midlands outfit have come through with 2-1 and 1-0 victories, efforts that can only have encouraged Maresca as he continues to build his squad at the King Power Stadium. Incomings and outgoings are expected to materialise before the end of August, yet there is a feeling that the Foxes are already a step ahead of the likes of Leeds United and Southampton, their fellow relegated sides from last season's Premier League. Each of Leicester's three goals in the Championship have been scored in the 73rd minute or later, arguably an indication that they could emerge as one of the fitter sides in the division. However, it is still early, and their upc...

Two of the Premier League's 'big six' clash on matchday two as Erik ten Hag's Manchester United travel down to London to face Tottenham. Spurs recorded a 2-2 stalemate with Brentford in their opening match — a performance that received positive and negative reaction in equal measure. New signing James Maddison stole the show with two assists but questions will still be asked of the backline, who again conceded two easy goals. As for United, they struggled to a 1-0 victory over Wolves at Old Trafford on Monday. In truth, the away side deserved at least a draw, but fans of the Red Devils won't care one bit as a Raphael Varane's header stole all three points. Those results set up an intriguing clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium between two sides who still have a lot of work to do.

Wolverhampton Wanderers   will go in search of their first Premier League points under   Gary O'Neil   when   Brighton & Hove Albion   visit Molineux on Saturday afternoon. Wolves suffered an unmerited 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on the opening weekend, while Brighton thrashed newly-promoted Luton Town 4-1 in their first match. To say that Wolverhampton Wanderers were unfortunate to lose on the opening weekend would be an understatement, as the Black Country outfit dominated large spells of their clash with Manchester United, terrorising the hosts' defence throughout the contest. In fact, Wolves racked up a whopping 23 shots last time out - the second-highest figure recorded in a Premier League game at Old Trafford since 2004 - with the likes of  Matheus Cunha  and  Pedro Neto  wreaking havoc on the Red Devils' backline. However, the visitors failed to make the most of their dominance and were ultimately made to pay for their wast...
