[Applause] a meeting of Manchester’s biggest city and United with wrongs to right the old gold that needs to shine Matas kuna gives us his thoughts ahead of ipswich’s trip to molu and there’s a derby on the south coast this weekend too as bright say hello again to Crystal [Music] Palace welcome to Manchester a city United but sometimes divided we’re proud of our past Heroes given their due first thing we’ll ask are you a red or a blue work hard play hard we get hard rewards remember what’s gone but still look [Music] forward we’re a city United by the beautiful Game faes Change time ticks up but it’s never the same Derby Day in Manchester City against United a Synergy of past glories and current day compulsions tickets like gold dust a game that no one wants to [Applause] miss it’s something that you can’t really describe I’ve been in a situation with City where we ain’t doing really well and Derby comes up and you’re a completely different team and I think man united will be the exact same as that and so will city under weekend it’s an iconic game you know the stadiums aren’t far from each other the city is definitely divided often you’re friends with people from both sides there’s always arguments over the dinner table about who’s going to win on the weekend City United I’ve got a lot of mes or blues and stuff like that so it’s always personal when we when we play against them the 4-1 win that was another Milestone of an achievement with the players that they had then some reason the ball wouldn’t roll off the pitch so I got to the ball just carried on running it felt like the further I went nobody was getting there and managed to get that half a yard and just tried to hit it as cleanly as possible and it just flew in off the bar everybody knows what happens then the robot came out oh in this goal where I’m trying to get back the last minute and of course Wayne Rooney’s won the goal Rooney oh wonderful what a goal at what a time in what a play ni nobody likes losing but if you lose to a goal like that you kind of just have to say okay fair [Music] enough with the players that City have there now they’ve all been there long enough to understand what this game means to not only the fans but themselves as well if they win it because at the minute they’re both going through stages where they’re there seems to be a lot of sloppy giveaways which opens both teams up to counterattacks I think it will come back to normal they know themselves they can be better and they will correct it it’s not enough I know that the players are not stupid they know it they they they taste the highest level in in consistency and what it doesn’t matter Howen always we found the way to win the games now we don’t have the way to win the games even playing good moments or bad moments we don’t have it the players knows it of course you have to improve for me I would never say you’re out of the title race not in this Premier League I think right now for them the focus will be getting everybody back fit and getting the team back playing the way everybody knows they they can play and then see where they are at the end of the season the one thing I do know is they they won’t give up on anything until that last kick of the ball come the last day of the Season R Fernando pass was careless behind yoro to theoy to Gibs White oh it just went straight through Onana wood is at the back post Chris Woods it’s in and Notting of forest have a two goal lead now at old traford is it one step forward now two steps back for Reuben am him at the minute they’re going through a stage now of transition in terms of not just the players the the whole club in general seems like he can at least put the club in a stable footing in terms of on the pitch where people can watch a game of football and say this is how they’re going to play and I think for him now it’s about who can play in the positions he needs them to play Within the system he wants to play and it will take time and if they get that part right that will take a little bit of pressure off everything else but you need then you need to start winning and that is what man united is you remember the the kick from Rooney um some big results even in Old traford that we had in the time of s Alex and big big results um so it’s I I think it’s a different time and this hard for the Manchester United fans to cope with that uh but we we want to win and that’s all I think man united have some fantastic individual players Ahad this Wing back Ro seems to really be suiting him being able to run with the ball from deep in many ways seeing a bigger pitch sometimes when you’re a Winger you got your back to the play or your back to the line whereas now he can go either way and he can see where the space is without everything necessarily being off Instinct so for me I think he he’s doing brilliantly I think for me I think it’ll be an exciting game I think it would be more open than people think I think for city they’re going to approach it the way they always approach every game good possession of the ball at large stages of the game and create as many chances as possible from seeing Man United against Arsenal I can imagine they would try and do the same thing in terms of keep that Midfield area crowded so you can’t really pass in between the lines I think it’ll be a 2-1 C I think there’ll be chances both ends and it’s just which team takes where I think at the minute see slightly better when it comes to doing that Liverpool’s short trip across town to goodison park for the merys side Derby fell foul of Storms and high winds so the Reds Four Points clear at the top with a game in hand had an unexpected break ahead of their midweek Champions League win in Jona they face Fulham a fixture they won 43 last term with Brazilian keeper Allison Back In Contention he worked really hard together with our performance and uh and medical staff to get where he is now and um hopefully we he doesn’t get the same amount of work every game he plays but if he does then he showed that he um he’s able able of of doing that in a real good way for us Marco Silva’s man did Liverpool a favor last weekend holding title chasing Arsenal to a draw at Craven Cottage Ral gimenez was back in the 11 and on the score sheet for the first time since mid October but a fifth Yellow Card of the Season means Defender Calvin bassi will be suspended for the trip to anfield Chelsea are now in Liverpool’s Shadow they’re closer to the leaders than anybody else after a courageous and classy win at Tottenham last week four League victories in a row for Chelsea and 14 goals scored in that time Enzo moresa is still adamant his team aren’t in the title race so he better not tune in to what the consensus are saying and it’s another London Derby this weekend The Best of the West to be precise as brenford head for the bridge they are a very good team they know each other from many years already so they know exactly the game that they are going to play and as I said the game will be decided for tiny details and we need until the final whistle our fans behind us pushing us when is that first away win arriving for Thomas Frank’s team they’re living a double life right now at home brenford are unstoppable but a failure to piece that together with away performances has left them ninth in the table even more Curious considering brenford are the joint second highest scorers in the Premier League but history tells us they know how to turn it on at Stanford Bridge they’ve won their last three games at Chelsea’s home it could have been worse Arsenal came from behind to draw at Fulham but that left Mikel Etta’s team six points off the top having played a game more than Liverpool though Ricardo califur is not yet fit Gabrielle could return unbeaten at the Emirates this season they’re chasing a 26th win from 33 Premier League home meetings with Everton it’s so much to play for a lot of things are going to have to go through a lot of again unexpected things and losing a game in this league is very easy and losing the next one very easy and you can throw the next one and in three weeks you are in a very different position we’ been very close twice and uh and we’re not going to stop till till we get it done storm Dara delayed the merys side Derby goodison will have to wait to Stage that special Clash Everton then head to North London still boosted by the win at home to wolves it was their first victory in six League games and their four-goal tally was more than they’d managed in the previous seven matches combined they’ll need that attacking Edge at the Emirates the only team to win an anfield this campaign have now gone and one at Old traford as well ning and Forest are keeping Pace with the Premier League’s most established two points behind the top four a glorious return to the European stage is beginning to feel possible that’s a great thing about being fans and and being around a club that’s doing well they they can dream and and scream and shout for that but as players we need to know that what we focus on as the next game we can’t worry about League table until come April May and things like that so we’ll focus on what we need to do and and the club can enjoy the time in the meantime while at Aston Villa a much needed shift in momentum successive home victories over brenford and Southampton have catapulted unai emir’s team back towards the Champions League places where they feel they belong after their latest win in the competition at rby leig so two former European Champions reigniting the flame right now Villa flew the flag for those unexpected contenders last season could Forest be next to join them forest and Villa are just two points off the defending Champions leaders Liverpool with a four-point advantage and a game in hand the bottom three are losing ground on those above in terms of points and goal difference there’s a worrying Gap to 17th Place Crystal Palace who head to Brighton this weekend where seagull’s boss Fabian herzler gets his first taste of this unconventional derby with the South London [Applause] side as we approach the halfway point of the season it’s fair to say that wolves campaign so far hasn’t quite gone to plan just two wins from their opening 15 fixtures has left them 19th in the table four points from safety and ahead of this weekend’s huge clash with fellow strugglers zwitch I’ve come here to the training ground to find out what needs to be done to ensure they stay in the Premier League Mata thank you for talking to us I I understand that it’s not the best moment for wolves right now what’s the mood like amongst the players it’s a pleasure uh so I feel like of course the moment is not the moment any you want to be uh we want to play and then we have a lot of dreams to to arrive at some great things but yeah of course the football is like this and then we need like to to continue build something good and then of course we change the situation the manager seems to be under some pressure at the moment as well what’s been his message to you as players to try and turn things around I think him’s very positive person you know like always like uh um keep believe and then you know like uh uh give us some uh energy to continue fight because this is even is like hard situation but it’s still like the beginning you know have a lot of uh of games but of course the football is the results and then football is is hard like the life is hard and then we need to keep we need to keep going of course and then the things then I feel to him is only only good things and I hope we can change the situation and still together my faith and my belief in the actual group that I’m working with is yeah will will always be 100% And um they know that and they know that they need to push to do more I know that I need to push to do more um but this group is going to find a way to to turn things [Music] around November was a brilliant month for you for for the club as well to be fair how do you get back to the levels that that you all showed in November it’s hard to say because we don’t have like the the honest like the the correct thing to say because if if it’s easy like this yes you just do it of course I hope Saturday we show again everyone like we have like uh big Faith to to change everything like go to the pach and then show everyone like we are happy and then do the best thing in the world is to play football in fairness November it was like that yeah you had a huge smile on your face you earned a nomination for player of the month and you had an unprecedented three nominations for goal of the month in November as well that must have been a special moment for you I hope December is on the beginning I can do the same December also yeah but kind of things and you feel feel confident feel happy to show everyone your potential and then yeah this is I hope like I say I hope the other months will come in and then I can show everyone and then I can show myself how big and and how can I help my teammates to to impact the games did you have a favorite goal from the three yes of course I have my first one against Fulham that’s a beautiful ball to find Kaa matus K once again it’s my favorite because like how hard it is you know like to control the ball and then ship the ball this is kind of things then you know like we need to to have like Good Feeling to do and then feel confident of course huge game this weekend against Z switch there’s no other way to build up to it really how important is it as players you give your absolute everything to win this game every single game is like this one you know we need we need to fight and then we need to show everyone like we can we have potential to change the situation capacity to change the situation and then this one will not change it will be not different of course they have like same points than us also hard situation for them it’s another big game for us it’s one that we’ we’ love to get a positive result in um best way to do that is going and deliver a good performance and and everything that’s going to entail in a game like this and uh give ourselves the best chance to to go and try and win it so that’s what we’ll try and do there’s a long way to go still in this season we’ve talked about how how it’s difficult at the moment but what do you think as a club and as a player you can still achieve this year hard to say something right now huh in beginning of the Season my dream is completely different uh maybe to put the club in the the EUR again when I come in I always heard about uh when they play in Europa League and it was something like huge for the club the fans feel like so grateful and then of course I want to give back all the love and they feel difficult moments coming but it’ll never stop the fight we still going there and then I hope like we have a lot of time already to fix the things wrong and then go again inconsistency is rif at Newcastle United the positive ity that came from collecting a point off the leaders Liverpool was wiped out by a messy display at brenford five wins five draws five defeats for Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope is a doubt for the game against Leicester with Eddie how’s team in the bottom half you can’t dwell in the that moment you have to go right you have to find us a a positive way forward so what’s that going to be how are we going to work differently what can we improve what can we change um how can we affect the players so all those decisions and actions have been taken this week and hopefully we see that reflected on our performance against Leicester and this is a leester team that are still unbeaten under rud van nissy in the mold of their new manager they’ve been clinical a win over West Ham and a late fight back to steal a point from Brighton showed character that had perhaps been absent at times there’s now a five-point buffer between Lester and the bottom three those rudimentary changes are working St Mary has been all too welcoming this season Southampton losing five of their seven home League games and overall Russell Martin’s rock bottom side sustained their 12th defeat at Villa last week Tottenham will hope to make it 13 but they have troubles of their own an poog’s men beaten in their last two Top Flight outings and winless in three have slipped to 11th injuries haven’t helped like Martin the Australian is sticking to his approach the way the manager wants to see it he wants to try and embed his way of playing into into the team he’s very um motivated to win something and um that’s something that’s stuck with me as well um cuz I think that’s that’s what the club needs now and that’s what we’re pushing to us motivation isn’t lacking for either Saints or Spurs but both need something to change on the pitch if they’re to achieve their respective Ambitions survival or a Champions League place this season [Music] butara pounces and in second half stoppage time Bournemouth May well have stolen this The Late Late Show again from andon er’s Team forma’s impeccable timing has been one of the features of their season almost half of their League goals have come inside the final 20 minutes of games three wins on the spin has put the cherries Within three points of the top four I think we need to continue doing what we are doing H improving as a team week to week we will see at the end of the season where the standings put us but it’s true that we are facing a very strong opposition so you don’t know where where is going to be your your sailing no on what was a night of huge significance for Ulan lki his West Ham team beats wolves but thought have very much been elsewhere in recent days too M Antonio has had surgery on a lower limb fracture following his car crash last Saturday some of West Ham’s players have reportedly been to hospital to see him this week a scorer of many memorable goals there’s your East End hero Antonio is West Ham’s all-time leading Premier League scorer his fun Nature has made him one of the game’s most likable characters and the whole football Community will be wishing him a speedy recovery Brighton and HOV albian are 40 m away from Crystal Palace that’s an unusual distance between sides riled by Derby rivalry there’s little to separate them though once they get on the pitch prior to 2012 both teams yo-yoed between the divisions with Brighton competing as low as the fourth as recently as 2001 Financial difficulties have made life challenging for both clubs at certain points but times and fortunes have changed considerably the seagulls and the Eagles are now established Premier League sides they’ve faced each other 14 times in this competition the past four seasons have seen a variety of managers go head-to-head in this fixture this weekend it’s a derby debut for both bosses Fabian herzler and Oliver glasner I visited I think last season the game between Crystal Palace and Brighton I know what it means for the fans I know what it means for the club that’s why we need to to give everything on the pitch to to win this Derby they good team can’t take that away from Brighton you know their their style of play is is hard to play against and uh the quality from from top to bottom so a rivalry is always uh necessary and I think uh they’re our biggest one so we definitely don’t like each other um and I think it’s definitely something that you see when we play these games their Premier League encounters have been tricky to predict hard fought and usually close contests there’ve been seven draws and on only two occasions has more than a single goal separated the sides so Brighton’s 4–1 Victory last term was a notable result Jau that’s one way to guarantee a memorable victory over your biggest Rivals of course a different manager is at the helm but seagull’s supporters have caused to feel hopeful of humbling their visitors again they’re up in seventh place having secured some eye-catching victories beating Manchester United Spurs Newcastle and Manchester City that’s the good news the bad news is they’re winless in their last three conceding two late goals away to Leicester last week a real missed opportunity with a victory they’d have been within a point of fourth place we have a lot of experienced players in the squad they know how important this game is for the club how important this is for the for the fans and um that’s the main thing we have to to give back the fans uh the fre points we we might waste in the last games and I think that’s the that’s the most important H it’s what a time to get his first Crystal Palace goal Maxon laqua are helping Palace draw with Manchester City but they’ve only won twice this turn the team that ended last season with a bang have sha only in rare fits and starts maybe glasner is getting them back on track though they’ve only lost once in their last seven outings I think uh you know we had a rough start to the season um so again I think we’re we’re on our way to getting to where we want to be but uh we understand that um if we do want to go higher up in the table that we have to come away from games like City with three points with the seagulls seeking to recover their form and the Eagles trying to take flight this meeting could match the drama offered by this unusual Derby in previous years Liverpool could further stretch their lead at the top with a win over Fulham that’s one of five games on Saturday Chelsea are the closest to them right now but they don’t play until Sunday against West London Neighbors brenford and it’s Derby Day two in Manchester two superpowers of the English game always divided amongst the very hard lines of red and blue what about that fabulous ball not to be denied whatever it took this could be a dby day for the agent we’ve got a fresh pair of eyes
