Seven years after thrashing them 9-0 at St Mary's and only two after plundering five during Southampton's last trip to the King Power Stadium, Leicester began the match with high hopes of clawing back three of the six points they were recently deducted by the EFL. But, still searching for a permanent manager following Marti Cifuentes' departure and languishing perilously close to the relegation zone, the hosts are a very different beast to the one the visitors encountered here in April 2024.

Aston Villa might move for Morgan Gibbs-White, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is a target for one of the Saudi Pro League's top clubs, and Sandro Tonali's wages could be an obstacle for any Serie A side looking for a deal. Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White might be heading for the exit door this summer and Aston Villa view the 26-year-old England international as an excellent fit.

Manchester United haven't had much luck against West Ham of late. This fixture last season was the straw that did for Erik ten Hag's camel and West Ham nearly saw off Ten Hag's successor in short order when completing the league double over Manchester United towards the tail end of the campaign but Amorim held on. For a bit. He'd last barely a month after this and so now West Ham are in a position where they're facing a third Manchester United manager in 14 months.

Reece is fit. A small issue, but he's feeling unwell today, the Chelsea boss told journalists on Monday. It's not a conspiracy, it's true. Hopefully he'll be well enough to play tomorrow. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. The staff have been down, my coaching staff, staff around the club. Fortunately, only Reece from the players is affected at the moment. It's something we're just trying to work on at the moment.

That number, though, is pulling from everyone -- and almost everyone in England exists in a state of financial precarity. With nearly the entire professional pyramid at risk of getting relegated or promoted in any given season, "panic" tends to be the default state of mind. And when you're worried about your team's performance costing you tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, valuation or both, then the easiest thing to do is fire the guy you hired to coach the team.

"The reason I know is because I've got teenage children," added Rosenior "They're on social media. It affects them, it affects my parents and my family. But I knew walking in to this job it was going to happen. It's normal. "When you're prepared for it, it makes you smile. I'm a confident person. If you're affected by things like that, you shouldn't be in this job."

Erling Haaland gave chase and would have gotten there to nudge the ball definitively over the line but he was pulled back by Dominik Szoboszlai, who would then have caught up with the ball to clear had he not been pulled back by Haaland. The ball crossed the line but the referee Craig Pawson, after a VAR review, gave not a goal but a free-kick for the first offence, sending Szoboszlai off for the denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.

Dominik Szoboszlai's free kick, Alisson's reckless tackle and a hilarious disallowed goal in injury time. All that meant Manchester City remained just six points behind Arsenal and the title race remains on.
