main events
Krishna will contact you. “For us Chelsea fans, it's an unaccustomed Christmas season, second in the table, made even more surreal by missing out on Champions League qualification and a crumbling City. Add in the unstoppable Spurs (in the definition) and what more could you ask for?”
Richard Hirst will contact you: “An alarming day for Fulham supporters: unbeaten against Spurs, Brighton, Liverpool and Arsenal means Fulham lose at home to Southampton and Smith Rowe is not in the squad at all – Don’t worry about Rashford, the news is there.”
Naz will contact you: “I know this isn't The Knowledge, but is this the first time United's names have started with so many players' M?” There's a 007 joke that I'm aware of. , I hope Reuben Amorim watches things today with golden eyes. ”
Chelsea can move into the lead if they win against Goodison.
Gary Neville spoke about Rashford's absence on Sky:
It's gotten to the point where we've had to keep him out for three games due to bounces, but clearly something is wrong or going in the wrong direction and it's important for Marcus' future at the club and for Manchester United to keep him out. It is not desirable to hold back.
I think we are reaching a point in the journey where it has an inevitable conclusion. It's a nuisance for administrators. It's clear that he probably has to leave and the club wants him to leave, but maybe it will work out for both sides.
There are also good examples of players who struggled at United…Jadon Sancho went to Chelsea and is doing well, Scott McTominay didn't struggle but left to go to Napoli and is doing well, so Marcus may think so, and he is right.
Marcus Rashford is actually at Old Traffordand he was just taking a photo with the mascot in the tunnel.
Anyway, I've gathered some team news. At Manchester United, Matthijs de Ligt is absent due to illness and Joshua Zirkie will be used as central striker in place of Rasmus Hojlund. Chelsea dropped Noni Madueke and replaced him with Pedro Neto. Aaron Ramsdale, who made the disastrous choice to commentate on last week's game between the Saints and Spurs, deserves to be the starter.
Dear Russell Martin, who passed away, looked like an indie rocker.with one of the bands like Biffy Clyro or Foals. But the new guy, Ivica Juric, is interested in, well, the real thing.
“I started with Metallica and Megadeth when I was 14 and then moved on to more aggressive stuff. Death metal is my passion, bands like Napalm Death, Obituary and Carcass.”
From playing the ball out the back to the equivalent of this? Yes, please. In fact, the vocals sound a bit like Sean Dyche.
Will Unwin is our reporter “Pereira made his name in the Wolves team by starting eight native Portuguese speakers,” he told me during today's game against Leicester.

Owner Jamie Pirie said in a statement on the club's official website on Sunday: “I would like to personally thank Charlie for his dedication and professionalism over the past 12 months.
