Gary O’Neil finds himself in a tight spot, Jadon Sancho helps lead Chelsea revival and Leicester need to get on front foot
Liverpool have not lost at Selhurst Park since November 2014, when Dwight Gayle opened the scoring in a 3-1 win for a side then managed by Neil Warnock. But their title challenge under Jürgen Klopp wavered last season after losing at Anfield in April to a goal from Eberechi Eze, so Arne Slot will be wary of facing a Crystal Palace team that have yet to record a victory in the Premier League this season. Fresh from his brilliant goal against Bologna in the Champions League, Mohamed Salah will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing a new-look Palace defence that has not looked convincing this season despite a 0-0 draw against Manchester United in their last home match. The Egyptian scored his 200th Liverpool goal against them in December to take his tally to eight in just 11 appearances, not to mention seven assists. Ed Aarons

Eddie Howe was evidently not exaggerating when, on the eve of kick-off, he described AFC Wimbledon as “well organised”.
If anything it proved quite an understatement as Johnnie Jackson’s League Two players not merely prevented Newcastle from scoring in open play but succeeded in frequently silencing St James’ Park.

Arteta’s explanation baffles, Palmer exposes Hürzeler’s tactics and how long before a big club pounces for Mbeumo?
Has the curse of the Manchester United contract struck for the second year in succession? After Marcus Rashford agreed a bumper new deal a year ago, he promptly endured a miserable 2023-24 season. This summer, it was Bruno Fernandes’ turn to sign a lucrative extension – one that few could grumble with at the time. Yet the Portuguese, usually a beacon of consistency for United through all their ups and downs, has started the campaign in scruffy and sluggish fashion. He has yet to score this season, has only one assist in six Premier League matches and is increasingly cutting a frustrated figure. That frustration came pouring out in his callow kick at James Maddison, which left United – struggling enough when it was 11 v 11 – down and out with 10 men. Fernandes deserves credit for fronting up after the game but that interview was his most significant contribution of the afternoon. Dominic Booth

- Manager says Manchester City made bad decisions at 1-0
- Eddie Howe praises ‘really impressive’ Anthony Gordon
A sanguine Pep Guardiola seemed reasonably content to settle for a point at Newcastle as his Manchester City side were held to a second Premier League draw in the space of seven days.
Unlike last Sunday’s acrimonious match with Arsenal, Saturday’s meeting proved a much more cordial affair. Guardiola’s talk of war with Mikel Arteta was replaced with warm words and a lingering embrace for his Newcastle counterpart, Eddie Howe, as both managers agreed 1-1 represented a fair result.

Anthony Gordon’s equaliser is the sort of goal City wouldn’t concede with their talisman, and that spells trouble
There are times when a football pitch can look very small and you start to wonder whether perhaps, in these days of hyper-fit, hyper-organised athletes, the playing area needs to be stretched, or a player or two per side removed. And there are other times when the pitch looks enormous, a giant patchwork of Rodri-shaped holes.
There is a danger when the absence of Rodri is so pressing, when everybody is so aware of Rodri not being there, that it feels like every pass in the final third would have been cut out by Rodri.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says midfielders Mateo Kovacic and Rico Lewis were "magnificent" against Newcastle in the absence of the influential Rodri.
Newcastle United have been the focus of much speculation in recent weeks in regards of new additions to the squad with many household names being linked with the north east club. Manager Alan Pardew has been scouring the football world for players to add to his team who can bring as much to the table for Newcastle as last years signings Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse did last season as they were two of the most influential signings the club has made for several years.
The biggest story this summer for Newcastle is their desire to bring back Andy Carroll to St James Park as the former Newcastle striker has found it extremely hard to find his feet at Anfield and it is widely believed that new Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers sees no future for the huge striker in his plans to take Liverpool back to the top of the division. Liverpool however have stated so far that they have received no offers for Carroll but have also failed to state if they would entertain any for him as he cost the Merseysiders thirty five million pounds less than two seasons ago which they would fail to recoup if they in fact did decide to sell their misfiring striker.
One of the top targets for Pardew this season looks to be FC Twente defender Douglas as the club are believed to have just tabled a bid of around four million pounds for the services of the Brazilian player. Douglas has recently stated that he wishes to search for pastures new after completing a couple of seasons for the Belgian side and it looks highly likely that he will be plying his trade in the premier league next season for Newcastle as long as they can complete the deal successfully.
Another player who Newcastle are keen on signing from Fc Twente is the Dutch player Luuk De Jong although it looks highly unlikely that Pardew will be able to bring the player to St James Park as he is seemingly on his way to German side Borussia Monchengladbach. A deal is yet to be signed by the Dutch international yet the hope of bringing him to the north east for the start of next season is dwindling day by day but there is still hope for Pardew until the player signs on the dotted line.
French international Mathieu Debuchy looks all set to complete a move to Newcastle after the player who is currently at Lille has stated that it is his priority to play in the premier league next season and his preferred destination right now is Newcastle. This will be like music to Newcastle fans ears as the defender is extremely well thought of around Europe and can offer a great boost of experience and skill to the Magpies defence.
Want away Blackburn player Junior Hoilett is another player who is on Pardews radar is the striker is all set to leave the championship side with it looking more than likely he will be heading off to Germany with Borussia Monchegladbach. Pardew though still holds hope he can persuade the striker to turn his attentions to Tyneside but this is looking more unlikely each day.
