Brooks, Senesi & Cook all suspended

Andoni Iraola stressed every member of his squad will be needed ahead of a busy festive period.

Bournemouth will be without the suspended David Brooks, Marcos Senesi and Lewis Cook against the Merseysiders, while Ryan Christie and Ben Gannon-Doak remain sidelined through injury.

He said: “These things [suspensions and injuries] are going to happen and even more in this period of the season.

“In December, January we will need everyone and every player on the team needs to be available and ready to go.

“Now we have some suspensions and some injuries. Probably we will need players who haven’t played as many minutes and I hope they are ready.”

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Sky Sports' digital coverage of Bournemouth vs Everton!

Thomas Frank is facing a crucial week as Tottenham Hotspur head coach.

Already on a three-game losing run, Spurs face a daunting trip to St James' Park to face Newcastle tonight, live on Sky Sports, before Frank's former side Brentford travel to north London on Saturday.

There are no signs that this will be a job-defining run of games for Frank, but a home defeat to Brentford, currently above Spurs in the table, could be catastrophic for him on a personal note.

At a time when there is a clear disconnect between the fans and players, Frank can ill afford yet another league defeat at home.

The away form in the league prior to the Arsenal defeat was excellent, including victory at Man City and demolitions at Everton and West Ham. However, that north London derby loss feeling just won't go away. It was damaging.

The supporters will argue that they travel up and down the country filling away ends like they will at Newcastle on Tuesday night and give the players as much support as possible.

But, with only one home win in the league this season, against Burnley on the opening weekend, it's been a pretty miserable experience at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Gary Neville said in 2022 that the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium beat Arsenal 3-0. Rob Holding was sent off for Arsenal that day. It really wasn't that long ago, but varying success in recruitment since has resulted in both clubs going in completely different directions.

How players addressed fan boos

Frank, it seems, is coming to the realisation that the media spotlight is an entirely different proposition in his new job. A few defeats at Brentford could fly under the radar, but anything he says in a press conference becomes headline news at Spurs.

Frank found this out when he said those who booed goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after his calamitous error in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Fulham were not "true Tottenham fans", an intervention that has not landed particularly well.

Sky Sports News has been told that Frank only took issue with the boos during the match, a point which he feels was lost in the aftermath of the game, and he appreciates fans being disengaged at difficult times.

Like Frank, the squad have no issue with fans expressing their views at half time and full time, but there was a sense of disappointment around the reaction to Vicario's error which led to Harry Wilson's goal.

The Spurs players addressed fans' booing after last month's derby defeat to Chelsea at home in their post-match debrief, part of their routine after every game, irrespective of result.

Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence storming off the field and ignoring Frank rather than applauding the home fans made headlines that weekend. Since then, players have been walking off together back to the changing room to project their unity.

Ultimately, everyone at Spurs wants the same thing and work is going on to address these difficulties.

Vinai Venkatesham, Spurs' new CEO, has an excellent reputation for club to fan engagement from his time at Arsenal, who overcame similar difficulties during his time at the club.

The issues plaguing Frank

Frank's start to life at Spurs has been a far cry from those heady days early in the Ange Postecoglou era, when the former Spurs boss compared the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to a nightclub.

Postecoglou's start at Spurs was not without challenges, either. He lost Harry Kane to Bayern Munich a couple of days before the start of the season in a summer in which Hugo Lloris had also departed, but Heung-min Son, who had a special bond with the fans, stepped up and took the armband.

Unfortunately for Frank, that hasn't happened for him this season. Son's absence is sorely felt on and off the pitch.

Injuries have Frank without Dominic Solanke, his out-and-out striker, Dejan Kulusevski, one of Tottenham's best creators over the last few years, and of course, James Maddison, who we might not see for the entire season.

And, to his credit, Frank doesn't mention this in his press conferences as an excuse. This has to be taken on board and acknowledged.

On top of those injuries, big-money summer-acquisition, Xavi Simons, signed for £51m from RB Leipzig, hasn't hit the ground running at all and you start to question, given those struggles, just how much Frank wanted him.

It was a frustrating final part of the summer window after top targets Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze slipped out of Spurs' hands.

Frank, who was not an instant success at Brentford, will need more time and transfer windows. Right now, though, January looks a look way off and he must start getting a tune out of the current players.

Everyone needs to take some responsibility for the current problems, including the manager. All Spurs supporters want to see is some fight and excitement because at the moment it's looking to be a really drab season.

What's worse, their rivals up the road could be on course to winning pretty much the lot.

Good evening!

Hello there. Big one up at Turf Moor tonight - two sides both looking for victories for very different reasons.

Crystal Palace come into tonight's encounter having lost their last two in all competitions, with suggestions of trouble in paradise after Oliver Glasner criticised their summer transfer policy again last week. He suggested his squad is too thin to compete on all fronts with their European commitments this season.

For Burnley and Scott Parker, the situation is much simpler. Zero points in November has put the brakes on an okay start, and four defeats in a row needs to end before it gets out of hand.

Plenty to play for in the north west this evening.

Parker not surprised by Flemming impact

Burnley head coach Scott Parker has praised Zian Flemming’s impact in the Premier League, admitting he is impressed by the Dutchman’s form but not shocked by how quickly he has settled.

Despite Burnley’s 3-1 loss away at Brentford on Saturday, Flemming continued his strong run in front of goal by netting his fourth strike in five matches. Parker believes the midfielder’s attitude has been key to his rise in the top flight.

“It’s not a surprise," Parker told the media.

“Of course there’s always a jump up and this is Zian’s first experience of the Premier League, but the professionalism of him, the hunger of him, you can see, this is his opportunity.

“He’s been in England for some time and his dream was to play in the Premier League and you can see he’s tackling that head on. He’s scored some really important goals and some good goals. Long may that continue and I’m sure it will.”

Sarr could miss AFCON with ankle injury

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner admitted he doesn't know whether Ismaila Sarr will miss the African Cup of Nations or return before the tournament after suffering ankle ligament damage in the defeat to Manchester United.

Sarr will be absent from the squad travelling to face Burnley on Wednesday, with Borna Sosa the only other absentee.

"Ismaila is out. It doesn't look that bad, but he will definitely miss both games this week with the hope that he could return before AFCON.

"All others are fine. Borna Sosa is not available again, but all others who were involved in Sunday's game are fine.

"The ligaments are not completely torn but there are some issues. Maybe he returns before AFCON and plays one or two games for us. We are still hopeful and we know how hard our medical department are working.

"It could be that he doesn't progress in the right way. The ankle is very swollen. It could also be that he misses AFCON. At the moment, they are both things that can happen. He could play for us and go to AFCON, or he could miss AFCON."

Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

He's just made a twisting motion with his hand, perhaps suggesting a twisted ankle.

Quite a few players are crowding around at the moment.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

Sky Sports' William Bitibiri at Selhurst Park:

"As expected, Amad is back at wing-back this afternoon. Ruben Amorim spoke on Friday about the importance of those positions for his system.

"Amad struggled further forward against Everton and has been at his best behind Bryan Mbeumo. He'll be hoping to make an impact this afternoon."

Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

Sky Sports' Pete Gill:

"In the middle of that very early scramble, there was a great chance for Casemiro to bundle the ball in.

"He was only denied by a sprawling save by Henderson."

Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

A long throw from the left is headed on by Matthijs De Ligt, flicked on by Casemiro, helped back in by Bryan Mbeumo and then held by Dean Henderson.

Casemiro was waiting for the ball to spring free again...

'A huge test for Man Utd'

Sky Sports' Savundra at Selhurst Park:

'Huge test for United today. Looking for just their second away win of the season against a side who have been a bogey team for them in recent years. They haven’t beaten Palace here in over five years. The Eagles are so stubborn defensively. Do United have enough from an attacking perspective to pose a serious threat to Palace’s back three?'

Kick Off! Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

We're off and running in south London!

Here they come!

The teams are on their way out at Selhurst Park...

Shaw hits Man Utd milestone

Luke Shaw today makes his 300th appearance for Manchester United in all competitions, 11 years and 64 days after his debut for the club against West Ham in September 2014.

Amorim: Man Utd job is tougher than I expected

Ruben Amorim speaking to TNT Sports:

"Of course, you are not fully prepared for everything.

"You have a notion, if you pay attention to football. Since the first contact of Manchester United, I have focused on trying to learn everything about the club.

"I think it's not hard to understand what the fans want, first of all, but of course, it was a surprise.

"It's really tough. The league is really tough and everything about our club is so big. It's so different from the other clubs, even the other ones, big ones.

"So you need to understand that. You need to be really strong mentally. I also understood that we still have a lot to change because sometimes the small things can become big things.

"The way we work, behave, all these things. So it was a little bit of a surprise and it was tougher than I was expecting."

Did you know?

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League home games (W6 D6), only once having a longer run without defeat at Selhurst Park in the top-flight (17 between February-December 1990).

Glasner targets new Palace striker in January

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner says he would like to add another striker to his squad in the January transfer window if they are to be able to compete in the Premier League, domestics cups and in Europe.

Huge opportunity for Mount and Dalot

Sky Sports' William Bitibiri at Selhurst Park:

"In many ways, Diogo Dalot and Mason Mount embody Ruben Amorim's Manchester United. Both represent two of his most trusted players.

"Mount's issue has always been his fitness since arriving at Old Trafford. He's shown flashes, but has lacked anything close to an overall run in the team to justify his £60m price tag.

"Meanwhile, Dalot, who has been a useful tool for Amorim, filling in multiple positions, has lacked consistency in his performance. He splits opinion among fans but what an opportunity this afternoon to repay the faith.

"Amorim needs them this afternoon. Can they deliver the bounce back for United?"
