We have to judge him every day how he deals with the intensity but it looks really promising." "It was fantastic to have him back, such an energiser and boost, but he will not train today with us. "The advantage is that they are eight points in front of us, this is the real advantage. "You have to prove it every single day again and again and again. "I would love to be in the position of Arsenal, rather than the experience of winning four Premier Leagues in five years," the Spaniard said. It is a huge blow for City, who will also be without Phil Foden, as they look to keep the pressure on title favourites Arsenal.

Julian Alvarez will start up front for City in this afternoon's Premier League meeting with Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's men hope to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal as they host Jurgen Klopp's Reds.

Andy Robertson collects the loose ball and gives it to Alisson who looks to build a Liverpool attack from the back. Liverpool are out quickly and forced City to pass the ball back to John Stones. “Now it’s clear - top four is the only thing we can really go for,” he said. “Last year, we nearly won four trophies; but then this year, the trophies have gone early. 3 mins: Jack Grealish receives the ball on the left wing and flicks it down the line for Julian Alvarez to chase down.

Manchester City host Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday, and we simulated the clash to get a score prediction.

FIFA 23 predicts that City could pick up a big win against Liverpool, winning 4-2 in the simulation. Liverpool grabbed two goals in the final 10 minutes to halve the deficit, but it didn't prove dangerous, and City emerged victorious. Two goals down, the Reds were shellshocked, and in the 55th minute, City made it 3-0, with Julian Alvarez tapping Riyad Mahrez's dragged shot into the far corner after squeezing in between the Liverpool centre-backs. A short corner from Grealish saw himself and Kevin De Bruyne advance into the box, with Liverpool failing to put the duo under pressure. But, just six minutes after the restart Grealish notched a second as City gained a strong lead. But, City enter the game in tremendous form, winning five of their last five, scoring 19 and conceding none in that time.

Pep Guardiola's Erling Haaland-less side downed Liverpool 4-1 at the Etihad. Goals from Julian Alvarez, Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish ...

It is the most luxurious luxury to have and not entirely surprising at the same time when you consider how near-perfect City have been in the transfer market in recent time – Haaland will start when he is fit, and likely score a hat-trick. When he isn’t in the team, the aesthetics of the football on show go up a notch still. Just don’t expect him to say as such. Nonetheless, there would have been no tears in the City dressing room from Guardiola pre-match when the Norwegian told his manager personally he wasn’t fit to play. Instead, what transpired was the perfect afternoon for the madcap Catalan – thrashing a rival, his way. Pontus Jansson gave the Bees an early lead, before Kaoru Mitoma equalised on 21 minutes.

They are unbeaten in three league games with wins against Leeds and Leicester bringing a feeling of improvement to Stamford Bridge before a late goal saw them ...

A massive three points away from home sends Villa sky-rocketing into ninth place in the Premier League, overtaking Chelsea and Fulham to sit just one point behind Liverpool in eighth. Last time out Villa despatched Bournemouth 3-0 and they’ll be looking to impress against their rivals in the table. Chelsea host Aston Villa in Saturday’s late kick off with Graham Potter’s side in desperate need of points.

At this stage of the domestic campaign, Graham Potter's side have little to play for. At Chelsea, all focus is on their Champions League quarter-final against ...

He has so much talent on the bench and his side felt a bit vulnerable defensively The blue shirts that flung themselves in front to try and block the shot did so in vain, and the ball dropped beyond Arrizabalaga’s dive into the bottom corner. Potter’s team were on top but following a familiar pattern, fluid football yielding plenty of chances but nothing besides frustration to show for it at the break. Stamford Bridge sensed a first Chelsea goal for the Ukrainian, but Martinez got the better of his one-on-one duel with the forward to smother the ball to safety. The opening goal was a calamity for Cucurella. From there on, Chelsea kept toiling, applying busy, urgent pressure, but which offered little penetration and never looked like threatening Unai Emery’s side’s lead. Their defence, with Reece James dropped back into a central three in place of the injured Wesley Fofana, parted allowing McGinn to release Watkins running clear. Mudryk’s moment looked finally to have arrived when he found space and broke Villa’s back line, but shot too early, too close to Martinez to bring an equaliser. The Villa captain’s whipped effort from 30 yards was hit crisply as Chelsea failed to clear a corner. McGinn went closer still on 15 minutes when his curling effort smacked the crossbar. Chelsea, suddenly on the back foot, had received two early warnings. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez rolled the ball short to Boubacar Kamara, who dithered in possession and allowed Mykhailo Mudryk to nick it.

The Gunners also enjoyed a convincing win on Saturday, beating Leeds United 4-1 to maintain an eight-point advantage at the top of the table. If both teams continue to perform as they have been doing, the tie that could be crucial in the title race is the match between the two at the Etihad on April 26, after which City will have only six fixtures remaining and Arsenal five. Three second-half goals from City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday helped secure a comfortable and deserved win for the home team against a side that in previous seasons had been City’s only challenger for the league title.

We do a load of work in training to get goals on the transitions. We have a fantastic game on Tuesday [home to Liverpool] to put it right." "We are in the top 10, now we have to keep it. "I think you saw we stole the ball a few times on the transition. We just need to keep winning games and see where that puts us [in the table]." On Aston Villa's ambitions for the rest of the season: "It will be very, very difficult to challenge for Europe. He understands everything we ask of him tactically, and he deserves the performances he is producing." "In order to have the ball it's a mentality, we were able to do that and it went well for us. "We had good rhythm in the first 15 minutes of the second half but then failed to play and get that rhythm back again. We spoke about how we could better and manage their attacks, which I think we managed to do well in the second half." On John McGinn's performance: "On the pitch and in the dressing room he is a very important player. They gave everything and I love the determination but we have more in us."

CHELSEA 0-2 ASTON VILLA: Graham Potter's side slumped into the bottom half of the Premier League table after goals from Ollie Watkins and John McGinn ...

But Villa were still able to create plenty of opportunities and with Martinez in fine form in goal, it was a classic performance from the visitors. But he got himself well on the way to getting back into the Spaniard's good books with a man of the match display against [Chelsea](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-fc). Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has developed a reputation for his defensive style of management ever since entering the dugout. The win over Chelsea was another counter-attacking masterclass from the Midlands side. The attacker also won just one of his ground duels and failed to complete a dribble before being subbed off after 58 minutes. But the chances of that happening have suffered a hammer blow with this defeat to Villa. The Ukrainian has registered just one assist and has failed to score in his eight games so far. That gave them an outside hope of getting themselves back into the race for a European spot. His distribution was also near-perfect, allowing Villa to hit Chelsea on the counter-attack time and time again. The experiment of playing Cucurella in a back three could be over after yet another defensive howler from the Spaniard. Ollie Watkins delivered a clever finish to open the scoring in the first half by lifting the ball over Kepa. Here, Mirror Football looks at the biggest talking points from Chelsea's defeat.

'He's had niggling injuries and noise and speculation. James gets his head up and sends a peach of a cross in towards the front post where Fernandez gets his head to the ball. Within the first minute Chilwell is found in acres of space down the left after a gorgeous ball from James, but the left wing-back's cross is a shocker and soars straight out of play. The Blues keep hold of the ball, and are sending it back and forth across the pitch to find a gap in the armour. Chelsea attack down the right, and it is pulled back to Havertz in the box. Chelsea have come out all guns blazing, and Loftus-Cheek does really well to keep the ball in play and picks out a good cross, with Mings just beating Havertz to the ball in the air. Chilwell does exceptionally well out on the left to bring down a long diagonal from Fernandez, spinning and taking it down first time with the outside of his left boot and making for the box without missing a step. Chelsea have the ball in the box with Kante, but the midfielder decides to pull it back to Kovacic on the edge of the area. The youngster lays it off for McGinn, who charges on to it and almost passes it into the left-hand side of Kepa's goal from outside the box in emphatic fashion to make it 2-0 to the visitors! The ball is in a beautiful position, begging to be flashed across the six-yard box, but it just flies clean out of play, over-hit and off target. Ramsey is played clean through as Villa look to counter in devastating fashion out of nothing, but the youngster is eased out of the way by Koulibaly and goes down in the box. James puts a really good ball in towards the back post that really deserves a goal at the end of it, but Havertz and Gallagher are rooted to the spot.

Ollie Watkins capitalised on a Marc Cucurella error early on before John McGinn fired in a rocket from distance to seal the points at Stamford Bridge. With both teams out of form and labouring in the relegation mire, there were no choice posts after a 1-1 draw which didn't do much to help either side. Although, they have made a habit of winding down before the referee's final whistle. Nottingham Forest can hardly afford to switch off in closing stages of the season. The Cottagers have now lost three games on the bounce for the first time all season as a promotion campaign devoid of relegation peril threatens to fizzle out. If the Seagulls and Bees are soaring upwards, Leicester City are heading the in the opposite direction at a treacherous pace.

Man United take on Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday, so we simulated the game to try and predict the outcome.

As the game went on, Newcastle found themselves on the front foot more often than not, and they made United pay for their missed chances when they broke the deadlock in the 89th minute. A poor pass at the back allowed Callum Wilson to break through on goal, but David De Gea did well to get low and make a strong save. Service into Wout Weghorst was far from short, and the striker had some huge chances to put United ahead in the first 45. It's a huge game for United in regards to their battle for a spot in next season's Champions League, with defeat moving them below Newcastle United in the table and potentially out of the top four, depending on Spurs' result. On the turn, Weghorst curled a shot towards the far corner, but Nick Pope tipped his effort onto the post at full stretch.

The 'draw no bet' selection at 11/8 with Sky Bet, meaning stakes are refunded if the game is a draw looks a cracking way to oppose Spurs and get Sean Dyche's improving side in the book. He is 7/4 with Sky Bet to register just one shot at The Amex - he's had five in his last two starts - and a player with that kind of expected goals return shouldn't be 66/1 to score first. Pre-Qatar there were 2.87 goals per game but in January to March there has been a big drop to 2.49 goals per game across all matches in the Premier League. In 10 games against the traditional 'big six' and Brighton this season, Newcastle's games have averaged just 1.9 total goals per-90 with seven of those falling under the 2.5 goals line and three of those matches ending 0-0. There is a unique atmosphere for a night game at the great old ground that certainly is a factor to consider when weighing up probabilities for a match outcome. And in truth, that's exactly what they are with odds of just 4/1 available on them finishing in the Champions League spots and 4/6 on them for a top-six finish. Whenever Villa are fancied to grab a result on the road, backing Emiliano Martinez to be carded is certainly a savvy way of nicking a fantastic price. I wouldn't be banging down the door to take the 6/4 with Sky Bet for a home win here, though. But I'm getting greedy and will be focusing on Gibbs-White to play a huge role in sparking the game into life. Bournemouth are all the rage in the markets at 6/4 with Sky Bet to make a mockery of league positions and beat ninth-placed Fulham, who have taken 15 more points than the Cherries this season. As always, Fulham will be tough to beat with him patrolling things as showcased by their record of losing just twice this season from 19 fixtures against teams outside the top five in the Premier League. Harrison has played all but nine minutes of the four games since Gracia took charge, posting a healthy average of 2.75 touches in the box per-90 and registering six shots.

The Reds looked tired in their last match against Fulham in the FA Cup, but some members of the squad, including Marcus Rashford and Raphael Varane, have ...

That suggests Wan-Bissaka should start here, while a return to the starting line up for Fred would be advisable. That means Weghorst goes from the off for the 19th game in a row. Wan-Bissaka dealt well with Saint-Maximin in the second half at Wembley and should start here after the job he did for 45 minutes in that game. Martial must surely be back in the squad this weekend but it's unlikely he's ready to start. Rashford is also expected to be involved in the game, despite withdrawing from the England squad with a knock. Anthony Martial is United's main striker for now and he has trained for more than three weeks.

It's a potentially pivotal match in the battle to beat the drop, as the struggling Hammers host the rock-bottom Saints.

They need a breather to collect energy. “I think he can be in the squad for Sunday.” It came at a good time for Anthony Gordon to improve his injury and to try and get him closer to returning. “Fabian would be a prime example of someone who has played through pain and different things and the break came at a good time for him. “It’s been good for some players,” Howe said of the break. “He really needed a period of training and it’s really difficult to do that amongst games because obviously I need players fresh to play so obviously you can’t work them in the way you want them. “I’ve seen Callum really use the break wisely. Now the board’s decision to smash Newcastle United’s transfer record is being belatedly vindicated. Shaw’s contract is set to mark the first piece of squad shaping concluded by United while bids are in on a takeover.

[Tottenham](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/tottenham-hotspur-fc) probably won’t dust off a ‘legacy’ gaffer like [Crystal Palace](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/crystal-palace-fc), though of course Terry Venables is still only 80. [Declan Rice](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/declan-rice) to ‘score from outside box’ at 20/1 (Paddy) like he did at St Mary’s in the reverse fixture. [Harry Kane](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/harry-kane) strike ‘anytime’ at 13/10 (Paddy) is the safer bet at [Everton](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/everton-fc) (8pm, tomorrow) – and take the 23/10 DRAW as well. [Newcastle](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/newcastle-united-fc) and [Manchester United](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc). Over in Spain, with a huge Barca clash looming, try 33/1 that Real Madrid-Valladolid (3.15pm) is ‘no scorer’, and have UNDER 3.5 goals at 4/5 (both Bet365). [West Ham](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/west-ham-united-fc) have had nine aways in 14 games in 2023 – but are now settling into a little upswing at home and look bubbly enough for [Southampton](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/southampton-fc) ’s visit (2pm). The general 6/5 ‘UNDER 2.5 goals’ is pick of the coin-flips, and 10/1 (Fred) ‘no scorer’ will look huge if Rashford is a no-show. [Marcus Rashford](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/marcus-rashford) is an injury doubt as well, albeit of the ‘believe it when you see it’ variety. If set-piece threat Fabian Schar starts, the 14/1 (Hills) ‘anytime scorer’ is worth a spin. Expectations of Newcastle have been so massively downgraded, and Old Trafford’s new dawn so massively overhyped, that it is easy to forget there’s just three points between them today (4.30pm).

Crystal Palace vs. Leicester City (April 1, 2023). Roy Hodgson made his second surprising managerial comeback with a return to the Crystal Palace dugout on ...

Overall, he’s taken charge of over 850 top-flight games across the Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A and La Liga with 227 of these games coming in the Premier League across his career at Chelsea, Fulham, Leicester City and the Hornets – famously winning the Premier League title against all the odds with Leicester in 2015-16. At the time of his sacking, he was the oldest manager in the Premier League (70) and he was also the oldest to manage in Serie A last season (69) by nearly six years. This was his final match in the competition, before relinquishing his short-term position as boss of the Blues to Antonio Conte. Ferguson won 13 top-flight English league titles as a manager during his 27 years at Manchester United – more than twice as many as any other manager in the history of the league and seven more than his closest rivals. He quit the club just a day after this game, with Sunderland winless in eight top-flight matches in 2015-16. Obviously – with Robson and Hodgson never having done so – Fergie is the oldest manager to win a Premier League title. There’s only been one 5-5 draw in the entire history of the Premier League, but it came in Sir Alex Ferguson’s final game as a manager. The much-admired Bobby Robson was 71 years, 192 days old on his final Premier League game as a manager, with Newcastle’s 0-0 draw at Aston Villa his last. He secured 83 wins and a points-per-game average of 1.60 across his 188 games in the competition. This average was even lower than his predecessor Claudio Ranieri – the fifth oldest Premier League manager – who averaged 0.54 points-per-game at the Hornets. At the end of 2020-21, Hodgson ended his 45-year managerial career as Crystal Palace manager with their Premier League trip to former club Liverpool at Anfield. Who is the oldest Premier League manager of all time?

David Moyes' side return from the international break in the bottom three, while today's opposition at London Stadium are rooted to the foot of the table.

Minute-by-minute report: Who will come out on top when the relegation-threatened duo meet at the London Stadium? Join Daniel Harris.

I hold myself to the highest of standards and have never done anything like this before in a long coaching career, and I know I fell way short of those with my actions.” And I also think that adding a “clear and obvious” caveat gave refs an extra layer of subjective interpretation, so I’ve now got no clue what’s going to happen sometimes, even though I can what happened in a particular incident. VAR is not perfect, mistakes have been made but on balance the refereeing mistakes that it rectifies far exceed these mistakes.” This time, though, it’s Emerson not Kehrer and the delivery is poor. 75 min Lovely feet from Emerson, feinting over the ball, so Bednarek ploughs through him and is booked. No matter: he picks out a claret head at the back post, and West Ham clear. 82 min And when the ball’s swung in, Aguerd does superbly to flick towards the back post, where Paqueta’s first touch is excellent … He holds up, buffeting defenders, but can’t quite conjure a shooting lane, so he spreads right to where Fornals now is, picks up the cut-back, and can’t quite get the ball controlled. and Bazunu does pretty well to dive on a low cross, feet about his phizog. Thanks for your company and comments – enjoy the rest of the weekend. I think if we had better-drafted laws, VAR would work better, but ultimately it’s made things more complicated, I think, by drawing attention to their inherently subjective nature and adding an extra layer of “clear and obvious” on top of that. Southampton used to be lauded as one of those “well-run” clubs, good at finding talent and succession planning.

The Scout says Aston Villa forward can be just as important as Haaland over the next few Gameweeks.

Minute-by-minute report: Can Newcastle gain the victory that would see them leapfrog the visitors and go third? Join Rob Smyth.

73 min Bruno robs Bruno on the halfway line and Newcastle break. He miscontrols the ball but recovers to rattle a shot that is crucially blocked by Botman. Antony is a little unfortunate to come off – and pretty aggrieved – as he’s been United’s liveliest attacker by far, but I suppose it was him or Rashford. Asking for a friend who’s interested in a match at the end of April.” But he gets to the ball first and launches it out to Willock on the left wing. Newcastle break and Gordon drives a dangerous low cross that is turned behind by Dalot. Martial was on the line and may have helped to force the ball against the post and away. It was a great performance and we’re glad to get the win and the clean sheet. De Gea pushes it against the underside of the bar, an outrageous reaction save, and then Schar heads the rebound against the post! We knew it had gone but it left a sour taste and we had to put it right today. He runs at Varane, cuts inside and shoots well wide from the edge of the area. 87 min Anderson’s cross is headed wide by Burn at the far post.
