Bru beauty
Bruno Fernandes has certainly found his form since the sacking of Erik ten Hag.
The Portuguese superstar was making his 250th appearance for Manchester United as he offered a goal and an assist in their Premier League clash with Leicester.
Man United have played four games since he left, with Ruud van Nistelrooy taking caretaker charge of the Red Devils.
In that time, Fernandes has scored a staggering four goals and offered two assists in those fixtures.
It takes his tally to 100 goal involvements in 170 Premier League matches - taking just one game more than Cristiano Ronaldo to do so.
Speaking after the 3-0 win over Leicester, Fernandes said: “It was a long time that I wasn’t scoring and now goals are coming in the last few games.
“Another clean sheet was important for us to bring back the fortress we had here. We have to keep doing that and we have to improve.
“Ruud van Nistelrooy fills the club, he loves the club, he wants to bring joy to the players. He brought everyone with a smile to the games, he just wanted us to enjoy it. We wanted to say goodbye as a manager for him properly because he did good things for us.
“It’s a new era, a new manager means everything changes but what hasn’t changed is that this club has to get back to where it belongs."
Chelsea vs Arsenal: Team news
Huge news coming out of both camps for this Super Sunday clash!
First for Chelsea, Cole Palmer is fit to start having been on the receiving end of a horror tackle from Lisandro Martinez last week.
The England international hasn't trained all week but has passed a late fitness test to be included at Stamford Bridge.
However, Arsenal have arrived in west London armed with their own double injury boost.
Martin Odegaard makes his first Premier League start since September having come off the bench in midweek.
The Gunners captain suffered ankle ligament damage on international duty with Norway after starting just three top-flight games.
He's joined by record signing Declan Rice, who wasn't fit to feature in the 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan but is included from the start here.
Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Lavia, Madueke, Palmer, Neto, Jackson.
Subs: Jorgensen, Badiashille, Tosin, Veiga, James, Fernandez, Mudryk, Joao Felix, Nkunku.
Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Partey, Odegaard, Rice, Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.
Subs: Neto, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Lewis-Skelly, Merino, Jorginho, Nwaneri, Trossard, Jesus.
GOAL!! Tottenham 0-2 Ipswich Liam Delap
THE TRACTOR BOYS HAVE DOUBLED THEIR LEAD!!
At home under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs have won 69.2 per cent of Premier League games in which they've conceded the first goal.
Their last three the Lilywhites have all fought back to win - Ipswich are doing all they can to ensure the fourth time's not the charm!
It's a brilliant Ipswich counter-attack that sees goalscorer Sammi Szmodics slip into space towards the byline.
He fizzes across a low cross that sizzles down the line and drives a low ball that Guglielmo Vicario parries straight into Radu Dragusin.
The Tottenham defender can't adjust his body quickly enough and almost scores an own-goal as the ricochet is taken past his own goalkeeper.
However, Delap nips in ahead of him on the line to volley into the roof of the net.
Pop superstar Ed Sheeran - who sponsors his boyhood Ipswich - is among the travelling fans watching on and he loved that one!
GOAL!! Tottenham 0-1 Ipswich Sammie Szmodics
INCREDIBLE ACROBATIC EFFORT HAS STUNNED SPURS!!
The home side have fallen behind at home to their relegation-threatened rivals and Ange Postecoglou can't believe it.
Again, it comes from a simple throw-in to Jens Cajuste, who is not closed down quickly enough by Radu Dragusin.
Instead, he's given the freedom to stand up a cross from the right and Liam Delap gets enough contact on his header to flick it on.
Szmodics is left unmarked in the six-yard area and skillfully hooks the ball back over his own head as he falls to the ground.
It's not the best bicycle kick in the world but it's on target and is enough to beat Guglielmo Vicario.
Garnach-no
Ruud van Nistelrooy has made a bold choice for his final match as interim boss before Ruben Amorim officially takes charge on Monday.
The Manchester United stand-in manager has dropped Alejandro Garnacho for the clash against Leicester City this afternoon.
Garnacho was a firm favourite in the Erik ten Hag era and ended the 2023/24 campaign as United's joint-third highest goalscorer with Scott McTominay on ten goals.
It was his best tally for a season since making his debut in 2022 and it included a goal in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
He also scored at Wembley again in the Community Shield, but his form has wavered in recent weeks.
The Argentine international was confronted by a Red Devils fan to work on his passing ahead of the Europa League clash against PAOK.
Garnacho started the 2-0 win on Thursday but was outshone by Amad Diallo, who notched a brace and has been rewarded by retaining his spot in the starting XI today.
Here's how Garnacho and Diallo compare in the Premier League this season below...
Meanwhile, there's no Jamie Vardy or Ricardo Pereira for Leicester, with James Justin and former Crystal Palace star Jordan Ayew coming in.
Man United XI: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Amad, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund.
Subs: Bayindir, Heaton, Evans, Lindelof, Eriksen, Mount, Antony, Garnacho, Zirkzee.
Leicester City: Hermansen, Justin, Vestergaard, Faes, Kristiansen, Winks, Soumare, Ndidi, Fatawu, Buonanotte, Ayew.
Subs: Ward, Coady, Okoli, Chodhury, Skipp, McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavidi, Edouard.
Full-time
And that's it!
Liverpool have beaten Aston Villa 2-0 at Anfield to move five clear of Manchester City in first place.
Goals in either half from Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah proved to be the difference.
For Salah, he is now in double digits for the season in terms of goals and assists with ten each.
He is the first player in Europe's top five leagues to reach the feat this campaign.
Though the Reds will be sweating over the fitness of Trent Alexander-Arnold following his first half injury.
Liverpool will now be hoping fellow title rivals Arsenal drop points away at Chelsea on Sunday.
Should the Gunners lose at Stamford Bridge, then Arne Slot's men would lead the north Londoners by a whopping ten points.
Pep talk
In case you missed it, Liverpool can go five points clear at the top of the Premier League table if they beat Aston Villa tonight.
That's because for the first time in Pep Guardiola's 17-year managerial career he has lost four straight matches on the bounce.
The Spaniard failed to hide his anger with Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke following Manchester City’s 2-1 defeat earlier.
And following the full-time whistle, he let his frustrations out on Van Hecke, with cameras spotting the heated exchange.
Guardiola took exception to the Dutchman hauling down Haaland in injury time as he shielded the ball for goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen to claim.
It led to Haaland being booked over his animated reaction towards the 24-year-old.
Guardiola was then spotted approaching Van Hecke on the pitch after the match, where he whispered something in his ear.
The duo then continued their apparent argument, with Guardiola getting right in the player’s face,
Commenting on the incident, Guardiola said: “He was strong with Erling [Haaland].
I said, ‘When Erling then stands up to you, stay on your feet, don’t go to the grass’. But he played a really good game.”
Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa HALF-TIME
The visitors sent on their captain John McGinn just before the break after Jacob Ramsey suffered what appeared to be a hamstring injury.
Liverpool lost a key player of their own during that 45 minutes after Trent Alexander-Arnold was withdrawn early on.
Hopefully, neither of those injuries are serious ones, and fortunately for fans, the stoppages haven't ruined the flow of this game.
It has been one for the neutral with chances at both ends - Darwin Nunez's goal is the difference between the two teams.
The Uruguayan fired home his second Premier League goal of the season from a Mohamed Salah pass, but should also had another.
Two fines saves from Caoimhín Kelleher from dangerous Villa corners have preserved the clean sheet so far for Arne Slot's men.
Plenty to play for after the break!

Liverpool can go five points clear by beating Aston Villa next, and talkSPORT will be on hand with live coverage of all the action.
Those Brighton goals were greeted with a roar of delight at Anfield from those Reds fans who were seated early.

Brighton 2-1 Man City FULL-TIME
Erling Haaland allows his frustrations to boil over seconds before the final whistle as he wrestles with Jan Paul van Hecke.
The pair are both shown yellow cards but it'll do nothing to affect the outcome of the result with Bart Verbruggen launching the ball long.
PEP GUARDIOLA HAS SUFFERED FOUR DEFEATS IN A ROW!
The Premier League champions of the past four straight years have made an unwanted slice of history under their greatest-ever manager.
A Carabao Cup exit to Tottenham had Man City players smiling before the end of the match while sitting on the substitute bench.
It's anything but now as Guardiola makes a beeline for Van Hecke after entering the pitch and the duo have a terse brief exchange.
From London to the south coast of Bournemouth last week, a trip to Lisbon and now back to Brighton.
