Ipswich made six changes to the team that beat Portsmouth on Saturday, with goalscorers Jaden Philogene and Hirst among those dropped to the bench.

Ivan Azon and Marcelino Nunez were given first starts for the Tractor Boys and the latter, who started

Six games into the season and Sunderland are flying high in the Premier League.

After eight years away, the Black Cats are enjoying being back in the big time, with victory at Nottingham Forest lifting them into the Champions League places.

Few would expect them still to be there come May, but with three wins under their belt already, Regis le Bris’ side have every reason to be optimistic.

There was, on paper, very little to play for at St Mary’s.

While five teams were fighting it out for three Champions League places, Arsenal had secured their spot with a week to spare by beating Newcastle at Emirates Stadium last Sunday.

Only a major swing in goal difference would have meant they surrendered second place to Manchester City but with Southampton heading into the game having scored 25 goals

Everton confirmed their revival under Moyes with a composed, highly professional performance that almost ended Newcastle’s hopes of Champions League football next season while offering the Toffees real hope and optimism for next term.

They were 16th in the Premier League – one point clear of the relegation zone – with only three wins from 19 games when Moyes succeeded Sean Dyche in January for his second spell in charge.

This fixture was only the third in Premier League history not to feature an English player in either starting XI after Portsmouth v Arsenal in December 2009 and Arsenal v Chelsea in January 2019.

City won the Community Shield in August but they failed to claim noteworthy silverware for the first time in eight years and a big summer for Guardiola awaits.

A major squad rebuild may be on the

  • This is Sunderland’s third second tier play-off final – they lost 1-0 to Swindon in 1989-90 (though still ended up being promoted due to Swindon’s demotion) and lost on penalties to Charlton in 1997-98 after a 4-4 draw.

    Manchester United: The stats behind Ruben Amorim’s tenure

    By Total Football News

    Manchester United were already on a downward trajectory when Amorim took over from Ten Hag last year.

    The Red Devils sat 14th in the Premier League with three wins from their opening nine matches.

    Things were bad, but they got worse.

    While a new manager can often bring struggling teams a turn in fortunes or a so-called ‘new manager bounce’, no such thing has happened at United and instead their

    Amorim admitted in the build-up to this game that his side could gain nothing from the Premier League this season.

    This latest defeat means they can finish no higher than 13th and other than the £3m-a-place prize money there is only embarrassment and criticism to be taken from their worst league campaign since they were relegated from the top flight in the 1973-74 season.

    Evidently, there is a £100m get
