    It's not a great Man Utd team, one of the worst we have seen.

    But what Man Utd have shown tonight is good desire and good character.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:09 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Tottenham 0-1 Man City

    Timo Werner is coming on for James Maddison.

    The German forward hasn't played since the middle of January having been sidelined with a thigh injury.

    Spurs fans not happy with the change.

    Ruben Amorim will be delighted with how well organised his United side have been since the restart. When Ipswich have the ball, all 10 United players are behind the ball, defending solidly, challenging Ipswich to break them down.

    Are Ipswich good enough to do that though? At the moment, the evidence suggests not.

    What has Arteta seen from Sterling over the last 18 months to think he's going to have an impact? Whenever he plays he looks nervous and either gives the ball away or turns round and plays 5 yard backpasses. He's not even close to the level they need.

    Ipswich are showing good patience. That's what you've got to do against 10 men.

    Jack Taylor, who scored the winner when Ipswich beat Wolves 2-1 earlier in the season, has a shooting chance from 25 yards out, but cuts across the ball and it swerves well wide.

    Nick: I get that we don't have a striker at the moment, but I'm sure that Trossard, Nwaneri, Rice, even Jorginho used to be able to hit the netty thing with the spherical thing. It's not like we're playing solely with left backs now.

    Spurs may be showing grit but they need to polish it off.

    Arsenal send on Raheem Sterling for Ethan Nwaneri up front.

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Arsenal

    A long wait for Callum Hudson-Odoi to take a Forest free-kick and it's a bit of an anticlimax as it's headed away at the umpeenth attempt.

    Tottenham 0-1 Man City

    Manchester City have around 15 minutes to hold onto their lead and keep a clean sheet.

    After all those chances in the first half, the second has so far belonged to Spurs. Just missing the goal.

    Week in week out there isn’t a team that works as hard as Liverpool. They deserve to be at the top of the table. Relentless.

    Newcastle have got in some really good positions, but there's a bit of rustiness in the final third.

    Manchester United 3-2 Ipswich Town

    Despite having a man advantage, Ipswich have not created any real chances in this second half. Twenty minutes for this one to play out.

    Liverpool 1-0 Newcastle

    Liverpool lead at the break. They are on top at Anfield. Newcastle lacking quality in the final third.

    Forest have just pushed themselves about 10 metres further up the pitch. They are just trying to give themselves that platform to go forward.
