  2. 'I didn't see this result coming'published at 17:17 British Summer Time 4 July 2020

    FT: Man Utd 5-2 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, speaking to BBC Sport: "I thought we were a genuine threat in the game. I didn't see that result coming after our start in the match.

    "Mason Greenwood's goal was one of real quality. It made our lives a lot harder but the first and second goals we will look back at with regrets.

    "It is fine margins. There were a lot of incidents in the game. The offside goal, don't know how close. A lot of confidence has returned to their team while ours has possibly gone the other way.

    "It is a real test of our inner strength to bounce back from the run of results. I saw signs today the attacking side our game is still there. That is the big plus to take.

    "This is a harder challenge than to try and stay in the Football League. We are in a negative cycle and we need to break that quickly."

    Wolves v Arsenal (17:30 BST)

    Arsenal need a big push to get as high up the table as possible and secure European football.

    They have won eight of their past 11 matches in all competitions, which will please Mikel Arteta.

    BUT, they are winless in their 17 most recent Premier League away games against sides starting the day above them in the table (D5, L12).

    In fact, they have only won three of their 16 top-flight away fixtures this season.

  4. 'Two goals and three points is all you can ask for'published at 17:13 British Summer Time 4 July 2020

    FT: Leicester 3-0 Crystal Palace

    Leicester City

    Leicester forward Jamie Vardy told Sky Sports: "It was about getting the win today and getting back to basics. We wanted to put a full 90 minutes in and control the game, and I thought we did that. I'm always frustrated if I miss a chance, you want to score as many as possible, but to get the two goals and the three points is all you can ask for.

    "We know it's down to us. We are in this position on merit and we have to keep going and look forward to the next game. We will get back into tomorrow, recover and make sure we are ready for Tuesday. If we play like that between now and the end of the season, we will pick up a quite a few points."

    Asked about his thoughts on scoring 100 Premier League goals: "I will wait until the end of the season when i can reflect on things, we have a game in three days."

    Robert Snell: Oh my days. Mason Greenwood is absolutely phenomenal. And not just “for a teenager”, he’s so good already and it does not need qualification.

    Gabriel Adesanya: And to think that defence wants to undo all these fantastic attacking plays. Greenwood, get in!!!. Left foot, right foot, doesn't matter, the boy bangs them in.

  6. How are Wolves getting on?published at 17:11 British Summer Time 4 July 2020

    Wolves v Arsenal (17:30 BST)

    Very well!

    Victory today could see them more level on points with fourth-placed Manchester United.

    Nuno Espirito's side are the only team with a 100% winning record since the Premier League's resumption.

    They have also gone 405 minutes without conceding a goal and can equal the club top-flight record of five consecutive clean sheets.

    Another record? Why not. Wolves can also win four consecutive top-flight fixtures for the first time since January 1972.

    They have gone eight games unbeaten and haven't lost to Arsenal in their last three meetings.

  7. 'A game for the fans'published at 17:10 British Summer Time 4 July 2020

    FT: Man Utd 5-2 Bournemouth

    Manchester United

    Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, speaking to BT Sport: "Very, very happy with today - with the energy in the team and the goals we scored. I think that was a game for the fans. That is definitely one the Stretford end would have enjoyed.

    "They are on the same team and working towards one common goal. That is one of the positive things about the forwards they are good friends and keep challenging each other."

    On Mason Greenwood: "He is a fantastic goalscorer. The moment he chose the goal, they were very important moments for us. He is a very, very talented boy and we will nurture him and manage him as best we can."

    On Victor Lindelof: "He struggled with his back but hopefully won't be too bad."

    Wins for Leicester City and Manchester United, so now it's over to Wolves in the battle for places in the Premier League's top four as they face Arsenal here at Molineux.

    Both sides are going through a very energetic warm-up and the Wolves PA system is belting out a loud soundtrack to get Nuno's players in the mood.

    Arsenal have had three successive wins in cup and league and victory here will put them within three points of Wolves.

    Big game.

  9. 'Definitely exciting times'published at 17:07 British Summer Time 4 July 2020

    FT: Man Utd 5-2 Bournemouth

    Manchester United

    Manchester United goalscorer Marcus Rashford, speaking to BT Sport: "The lads enjoyed it today. Definitely exciting times. It doesn't matter who scores as long as we are scoring and picking up points in the table.

    "It is always positive for teams if their forwards are scoring. It is important now to push on until the end of the season."

    On Mason Greenwood: "Left foot, right foot he can finish. Both sides are comfortable for him. I don't want to put too much emphasis on him, just let him play his football and that he is what he does. It is a big bonus to have him in the squad."

  10. Anyone? Nobody?published at 17:06 British Summer Time 4 July 2020

    Wolves v Arsenal (17:30 BST)

    Still everything to play for in those European places. Wolves need a win to keep up with Manchester United, while Chelsea are obviously in action later.

    Arsenal can't afford to fall behind any further either.

    Good stuff, Gaz. You've earned yourself a brew! I hope you haven't nicked all the goals though.

    Samrat Ray Chaudhuri: Given the amount of money wasted by Van Gaal and Mourinho, every pound spent by Ole is worth it's weight in gold.

    Dave Parker: Have to say 'Well done' to Ole. No big egos (for now) and Man U playing as a team, and clearly enjoying it. Absolutely must get into the Champions League with the squad they have and Sancho to come.

    GOAL - Leicester 3-0 Crystal Palacepublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 4 July 2020

    Jamie Vardy (90 mins)

    Great finish!

    A tap in for his first but this is a great strike as Jamie Vardy races into the box from the left before curling a neat strike into the far corner.

    A comfortable win for the Foxes.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:52 British Summer Time 4 July 2020

    Man Utd 5-2 Bournemouth

    Nope, Paul Pogba does and it is a cracking free kick, denied by an equally good Aaron Ramsdale save.
