After the defeat against 10 men Everton at Old Trafford on Monday, Ruben Amorim wanted a response from his team and that is exactly what he got. Although the Red Devils went a goal down when Jean-Phillipe Mateta scored a penalty in the first half, two goals from the Premier League giants in the second half ensured United get back to winning ways.

England legend and former Match of the Day host Gary Lineker was spotted in the crowd as Crystal Palace hosted Manchester United in the Premier League. Lineker made 468 senior club appearances for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, Leicester City and Everton. Notably, however, he never had any connection to Palace or United. It was therefore slightly surprising when TNT Sports' cameras cut to the former striker, taking in the game from the stands.

Again, it could be straight after we got 1-0 that we could have scored the second. We had the same situation against Brentford in the Premier League. There we missed but we could keep the clean sheet so we won the game. Strasbourg have very good, quick players, we knew it and ok you can concede the equaliser but then we have the next empty net we are missing.

Liverpool have struggled a lot in recent weeks, and this will almost certainly mean that they seek new signings when the transfer window opens in January. Central defence is an area that is to be addressed, and Marc Guehi is the main man in terms of targets. Liverpool almost signed Guehi in the summer, but Crystal Palace pulled the plug on a deal due to being unable to sign a replacement.

He's been training with the Under-21s the whole time, Glasner revealed (h/t YahooSport). Now it's about giving him minutes. He tried to find a club in the summer. We had talks, but we didn't find the right club. His contract will end next summer. I hope he continues his career in the best way. We want to prepare and support him for that.

Bayern wants to extend with Serge Gnabry and the player also wants to extend. Then with reduced salary, Gnabry doesn't insist on the last euro either. He is totally recognized in the team. Gnabry has been very good this season and his versatility will make him especially valuable to the Bavarians. Former Bayern Munich star and current Real Madrid defender David Alaba does not wan to leave Spain and wants to work out a deal with the club:

The Crystal Palace captain and England international, now 25, has informed his club that he will not renew his contract, which expires this summer. From January 1, Guéhi can legally negotiate and sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs, setting the stage for one of the most high-profile free transfers of 2025. His decision comes after a turbulent summer and a collapsed move to Liverpool that left him frustrated-but since then, his performances have only strengthened his market value.

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has withdrawn from the England squad because of injury. He will return to his club to continue rehabilitation on the foot injury he sustained against AZ Alkmaar in a Conference League game last week. The 25-year-old was left out of the squad for England's 2-0 victory over Serbia on Thursday and will miss the Three Lions' final 2026 World Cup qualifier in Albania.

It's been voted the best bakery chain in Britain, but its expansion continues to divide locals who favour independent coffee shops. Love or loathe a bougie Gail's Bakery, another branch is due to open in south London - and some residents are not happy. The upmarket cafe, which is known for its £5 sourdough loaves and cinnamon buns, will open next month in the former Coopers pub in Westow Hill, Crystal Palace. Gail's currently has over 100 bakeries in London.

Crystal Palace face a crucial few days with crunch matches in the Conference League and Premier League. The Eagles host AZ Alkmaar tonight attempting to make it two wins in the league phase following the shock defeat to AEK Larnaca last time out. And then they host M23 Derby rivals Brighton at Selhurst Park on Sunday. AZ have won their last five in all competitions and their man to watch is teenage midfielder Kees Smit, who is reportedly on the radar of Real Madrid.
