Yesterday's Headlines Liverpool's Egyptian star grabbed the headlines even though he not featuring in the Reds' thrilling six-goal thriller at Elland Road. He launched an stunning attack on manager Arne Slot, claiming him of throwing him “to the wolves” after omission from the first eleven for the third straight game. He expressed that he felt singled out for blame for the team's disappointing start to the season. “It's unbelievable … I’m sitting on the bench for 90 minutes,” Salah stated. “The third time on the bench, I think for the first occasion in my professional life. I am extremely disappointed.” The other significant top-flight story saw Arsenal's injury-time loss at Aston Villa, sealed by Emiliano Buendía's decisive strike. This outcome, combined with Manchester City's comfortable win over Sunderland, has left a incredibly close battle at the summit of the standings. Away from the English football, Lionel Messi as ever wrote the script for his MLS side as they triumphed the league championship, defeating Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 in the final. Today's Premier League Fixtures The Seagulls welcome the Hammers in a 2pm GMT start. West Ham have shown flickers of life under the arrival of manager Nuno. A creditable point at Manchester United means he has presided over a run of only one loss in their last five. Fulham versus Palace is a rematch of last season's cup quarter-final. The Eagles are eyeing a fourth successive away win in the Premier League, having defeated three opponents without conceding in their latest away fixtures. The FA Cup Second Round The FA Cup second round provided lots of drama yesterday. Sixth-tier side the Seagulls made history by reaching the next round for the first time in their history. Additional notable outcomes included: Swindon Town hammered Bolton – a division above them – 4-0. Cambridge United beat Stockport on penalties. Sixth tier Buxton were ahead against Cheltenham Town before eventually suffering a 6-2 defeat.

Championship Contenders: Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa are seemingly vying for the championship. The Packed Middle: A incredibly congested group includes Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle and Manchester United, all with aspirations for the European places. Will any put together a winning run to challenge the elite? The Relegation Battle: The scrap to stay up likely concerns Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Burnley and West Ham, with Wolves looking particularly in trouble. Clubs such as Brentford or Fulham could also be sucked into the battle. Other Matches Today Outside the English top flight and domestic cup, today's schedule include: Women's Top Flight: (All 12pm GMT unless stated) Leicester City v Manchester City London City Lionesses v Brighton & Hove Albion Manchester United v West Ham United Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Chelsea v Everton (2.30pm GMT) Around the Continent: Real Madrid v Celta Vigo (8pm CET) Borussia Dortmund v Hoffenheim (4.30pm CET) The Salah Debate Continues The fallout from the Liverpool forward's explosive interview continues. There are two distinct sides to the debate. On one hand, has Salah done enough to speak out as a bona fide Liverpool legend? Or is manager Arne Slot justified in doing whatever it takes to try to win games? Views from supporters seems divided: “As a Manchester United supporter. If memory serves, Salah was PFA Player of the Year 6 months ago and now he’s the main target. Not the way to treat a club legend.” “Can we take a moment to have sympathy for Mo Salah? He's probably forgotten that he is presently Liverpool's best-paid player... A victim, Mo, you are not.” The big question for Mo Salah, then? Speculation suggests his relationship with the club may now be burned. Could he move on loan to another European club? Might he take the pay day and head for Saudi Arabia after the AFCON? Matches Abandoned A pair of second-tier matches were abandoned on Saturday. The game between Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth at The Valley was paused in the 12th minute after a supporter was taken unwell. It was later confirmed the supporter passed away in hospital. Blackburn Rovers's game against Sheffield Wednesday was also stopped and called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Ewood Park. Heavy rain – for the second time this season at the ground – made the field unplayable. At this time, there is no word yet on when either game will be rescheduled.
