    It worries me that Jose Mourinho is talking about the past so much. We have lauded Mourinho on what he has managed to do with the sides he has managed.

    No one has forgotten. It just worries me that he feels he needs to call upon trophies he has won in the past so much.

    He is calling up on what he has achieved as a kind of comfort blanket. It's strange he doesn’t have ability to go into a press conference and talk about Burnley. This is a huge game – talk about that. Why is he talking about winning the Europa League over a year ago?

    Neil Warnock wants his Cardiff City side to "rough up" Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey on Sunday, as Wales boss Ryan Giggs watches from the stand.

    Giggs will be in Cardiff for the Premier League match as he prepares for Uefa Nations League games against the Republic of Ireland and Denmark on 6 September and 9 September respectively.

    "I will probably be wincing at every tackle," he said. "It doesn't help that you are playing a Neil Warnock team."

    Ramsey began his career at Cardiff, leaving for Arsenal in 2008, and Warnock says he would not blame the Welshman if he is "nervous" about returning.

    "I hope we can rough him up," said Warnock. "Needs must."

    Cardiff manager Neil Warnock makes three changes to the side that drew with Huddersfield last weekend, as Bobby Reid, Junior Hoilett and Danny Ward come in for Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Josh Murphy and Kenneth Zohore.

    Subs: Harris, Peltier, Zohore, Paterson, Cunningham, Madine, Brian Murphy.

    Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette return for Arsenal, replacing Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who drops to the bench.

    Unai Emery sticks with the same back five, as Petr Cech retains his place in goal, while Granit Xhaka and summer signing Matteo Guendouzi continue in midfield.

    Arsenal XI: Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Papastathopoulos, Monreal, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Ramsey, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

    As a player you have to take a bit of pride but it’s not happening at Manchester United at the minute. Players have to step up to the plate. You are playing for Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world. Whether the manager thinks you are good, bad or indifferent, it is up to you to go out and perform. Take the shackles off and go and perform.

    Forget half and half scarves. Someone has turned up for Cardiff against Arsenal in a half and half retro shirt.

    Stadium ban, surely?

  9. Why Pereyra's feeling at homepublished at 12:15 British Summer Time 2 September 2018

    I love a good retro Watford kit pic. But there is a valid reason for using this.

    Hornets forward Roberto Pereyra will become the first Watford player to score in four consecutive top-flight games at home since John Barnes netted six a in a row from November 1986 to February 1987.

    Argentine forward Pereyra scored the first goal in the 2-1 win against Newcastle on 5 May and has followed that up with both in the 2-0 victory over Brighton on the opening day of this season and the first goal in the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on 26 August.

    Just a few minutes until we get the team news from our early game at Cardiff.

    Will Mesut Ozil be involved for the Gunners?

    The World Cup winner did not appear in last week's win over West Ham. There were reports he had a row with Unai Emery - denied by the Arsenal boss, external with the club insisting Ozil was ill.

  11. Man Utd fans' plane protestpublished at 12:06 British Summer Time 2 September 2018

    A group of disaffected Manchester United fans have paid for a banner complaining at the way the club is being run to be flown over Turf Moor before today’s Premier League game at Burnley.

    The banner ‘Ed Woodward – a specialist in failure’ has been arranged by a group called ‘A Voice from the Terrace’ and will be flown over the ground about 20 minutes before kick-off.

    Woodward is being blamed by the group for United’s current position. The club must avoid defeat to stop themselves suffering their worst start to a season since 1986, when Ron Atkinson was eventally sacked.

    The banner evokes memories of a similar stunt in March 2014, when fans flew a banner over Old Trafford, proclaiming ‘David Moyes – The Wrong One’ in protest at Moyes’ disastrous reign.

    The Scot was sacked a month later.

    If it's a quiet Sunday you're looking for then you've come to the wrong place.

    It's a H-U-G-E day for Jose Mourinho and his mis-firing Manchester United players as they look to avoid a third straight defeat.

    Will it be plane sailing for the Red Devils at Burnley? A group of United fans disillusioned at the way their club is being run have paid for a banner to be flown over Turf Moor before kick-off.

    Elsewhere, a handsome Watford win over Tottenham could see the Hornets top the Premier League table by close of play.

    And Unai Emery goes chasing his first away win as Arsenal boss at newly-promoted Cardiff in the early kick-off.

    Here's what's coming up...
