Kick-off is just a few moments away!Ahead of today’s match, Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor said: “We need to keep the confidence and keep working hard. I spoke after the Villa game about the mentality, the mindset. It’s a huge part of being ruthless in the box. That game could have been easily 3-0 half-time, and we need to have that mentality when we have the opportunities to kill the game after 45 minutes to do that. Continue reading...
Mikel Arteta has some tough choices to make despite Arsenal’s success (Photo: Getty) Arsenal beat Sunderland to go top of the Premier League table but one player has been told he may not start again for the Gunners for quite some time. Mikel Arteta’s side maintained their 100 per cent start to the season with a 2-0 victory at the Stadium of Light on Saturday night. It was a tougher match than the scoreline suggests, with the visitors struggling to deal with the Black Cats’ physicality in the first-half, forcing Arteta to make a big change at the break. Myles Lewis-Skelly was subbed off and replaced by Bruno Guimaraes, a decision that worked perfectly as the former Newcastle United captain scored the stunning opener just two minutes after David Raya saved Enzo Le Fee’s penalty.

Lewis-Skelly, who was linked with a £50million transfer to Manchester United over the summer, has started in midfield alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard for the opening four Premier League games of the season. But after a poor 45 minutes against Sunderland, and with £75m signing Guimaraes returning to full fitness in sensational style, the teenager’s spot in the line-up could be at risk. That is certainly the opinion of Tottenham legend Jermain Defoe, who was asked on Premier League Productions whether Lewis-Skelly had lost his place to Guimaraes for the foreseeable. Myles Lewis-Skelly was subbed off after a poor first-half against Sunderland (Photo: Getty) ‘That’s what you want, that luxury as a manager to have that squad and have that quality,’ the former England striker replied. ‘If you get an injury, you might not get back in the team. Or if you’re off it a little bit like Myles was in the first-half, you get dragged off and then Bruno comes in and he might not get back in the team now for a couple months. ‘He [Guimaraes] has got that quality, that’s why they signed him. Bruno Guimaraes replaced Lewis-Skelly and scored the opening goal (Photo: Getty) ‘Eberechi Eze’s another one, he can’t get in the team. Someone with that quality can’t get in the team and that’s what happens. Once you get your opportunity, whether that’s coming on or you start, you have to take it.’ Eze has been largely hit or miss since signing from Crystal Palace last year, and currently finds his path to the line-up blocked by the in-form Odegaard and Christos Tzolis. ‘That’s the crazy part about being in a squad like Arsenal,’ former Gunners defender Matthew Upson added. You’ve either got to have the stomach for that or not because you’re not guaranteed that place every [match]. Eberechi Eze is struggling for minutes this season (Photo: Getty) ‘The moment you might just drop off it or even if the change needs to happen because the manager wants something a little bit different, you have to accept the fact that you might step out and then you got to work hard again to get back in. ‘I know Lewis-Skelly, his attitude’s absolutely top-class, he can handle it.’ With Arsenal looking to retain the Premier League trophy and go one better in the Champions League, Arteta will need his whole squad, Lewis-Skelly included, in top form. It will be interesting to see whether the England international is still in the line-up when the Gunners face Ipswich in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, before travelling to Brighton in the league.

Manchester United and Manchester City clash in the first Manchester Derby of the 2026–27 Premier League season at Old Trafford on Sunday, September 13, 2026. Here is all the information you need to watch this highly anticipated fixture live in the United States. Here are all of the details of where you can watch Manchester United vs Manchester City on US television and via legal streaming: WHO: Manchester United vs Manchester City WHAT: Premier League WHEN: 11:30 AM ET / 8:30 AM PT • Sunday, September 13, 2026 WHERE: Fubo, Peacock, Telemundo, NBCSN STREAM: WATCH NOW Match Overview The first Manchester derby of the season arrives with both clubs on entirely different trajectories. Manchester United, after a superb finish to the 2025/26 campaign under Michael Carrick, has had a stuttering start to the new season. A loss to Hull City and a draw with Everton have seen them drop crucial points early on, making this home fixture a vital opportunity to make a statement and calm any rising concerns. Meanwhile, Manchester City has been flawless. Alongside Arsenal, they are the only team with a 100% winning record after three league matches, having conceded just two goals. Enzo Maresca’s side also holds a scheduling advantage, having played their midweek European fixture two days earlier than United. For City, this is a chance to assert early dominance over their crosstown rivals and continue their perfect run. Tactical Analysis & Match Context The contrast in form is stark. Manchester City enters Old Trafford as a well-oiled machine, carrying an unbeaten domestic record and looking comfortable in Europe. Their start has been commanding. In contrast, Manchester United has appeared defensively vulnerable, conceding in all three of their league games and dropping points in what was statistically one of the easier opening schedules in the league. The pressure is mounting on Carrick’s side to deliver a cohesive performance. The tactical battle will likely pit City’s suffocating possession against United’s explosive but inconsistent attack. City leads the league in possession per match (71.9%) and will aim to control the tempo through their fluid 4-2-3-1 system. United, however, has proven they can create opportunities, ranking second in the league for expected goals (xG) and first for total shots. The key question is whether United’s defense can withstand the pressure long enough for their attackers to make an impact. For Manchester City, the motivation is clear: maintain their perfect start and solidify their position at the top of the table. A win at Old Trafford would be a powerful statement. For Manchester United, the stakes feel higher. This match is a crucial test of their resilience and a chance to prove that their early-season struggles are a blip, not a trend. A positive result in front of their home fans could be the catalyst their season needs. Head-to-Head Record & Historic Trends Historically, Manchester United holds the edge in this famous rivalry. Across 198 official meetings, the Red Devils have secured 81 victories to Manchester City’s 63, with 54 matches ending in a draw. This long-term record gives United fans bragging rights, but recent history tells a more balanced story. In the last five encounters across all competitions, United has won twice, City has won once, and two games have ended in a draw. During the 2025/26 Premier League season, the home team won each derby, with City claiming a 3-0 victory at the Etihad before United responded with a 2-0 win at Old Trafford. United are currently unbeaten in their last two Premier League derbies at home. Recent matchups have been notably low-scoring affairs. The last five derbies have produced an average of just 2.0 goals per game, and only two of those five saw both teams find the net. This trend suggests that despite the attacking talent on both sides, a tight, tactical battle could be in store, with goals at a premium. Squad News & Projected Lineups Manchester United head
