Cagey opening so far with no side really gaining an upper hand as yet.

So, while we wait for the action, a fact...

Aston Villa have named their oldest starting line-up (29y 69d) for a Premier League game since February 2012 against Manchester City (29y 116d).

It was a feature of their win at Lille in midweek that they used possession to take the sting and intensity out of the contest.

Looks like they are trying similar here - although the home fans very loud at Old Trafford at the start of this match!

Sky Sports' Dan Khan at Old Trafford:

"Feels like a multi-layered match for Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez. Not just because he may hold some resentment or regret over his move to Old Trafford not materialising last summer - but he was also sent off in this fixture on the last day of last season.

"That game, which Manchester United won, consequentially cost Villa a Champions League position in the end."

Sky Sports' Roy Keane:

"The beauty for Man Utd at the moment, they have no distractions. There is no jeopardy. The challenge for Man Utd, having been so bad last year, finishing 15th, is: can you finish in the top five positions?

"They started the season with low expectations, now I fully expect Man Utd to get into the Champions League. It's how they do it. Do they do it comfortably?"

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:

The clean sheet angle for Manchester United looks very appealing.

Michael Carrick knows exactly what he's dealing with in Morgan Rogers - he signed him at Middlesbrough and will have a clear plan to nullify his threat. And right now, that's the key to stopping Aston Villa.

Villa's attack has been toothless of late. They've managed just five goals in their last seven Premier League games and there's a sense their attacking ideas have gone stale. With Carrick's team likely to dominate possession and implement a disciplined defensive structure, Villa will struggle to find openings.

Stop Rogers, frustrate the other Villa attackers and you've got a scenario that heavily favours a Manchester United win to nil at 9/4 with Sky Bet. It's a way to back United's strengths against an out-of-form side that has lacked creativity in the final third.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0

Sky Sports' Gary Neville at Old Trafford:

"The position Man Utd find themselves in now from pre-Christmas is a miracle. There's a light that shines on Old Trafford now, Michael Carrick has brought that relaxed atmosphere back. He's got composure, a good way of dealing with the media and results have come.

"The first few performances were sensational against Man City, Arsenal and Spurs - some of the best performances I've seen here for the past 10 years."

Sky Sports' Gary Neville at Old Trafford:

"These big breaks between matches in some ways are good for Michael Carrick; he gets time on the training pitch with his players but on the other hand you don't get a chance to get back at it after a defeat [to Newcastle]. It's a bit of a double-edged sword.

"He'll want to see a performance. Obviously a result is important given the opponent, I think it'll be end-to-end and there will be goals. But I do think performance matters. In the preceding weeks to the Newcastle loss, performances weren't quite right and eventually you can get caught out."

Sky Sports' Laura Hunter at Old Trafford:

"Since losing to Arsenal on December 30, only four sides have accrued fewer points than Aston Villa in the Premier League (12). When Michael Carrick took over at United, Villa had an 11-point head start - now they are level. That's a pretty catastrophic fall off from the first half of the season.

"John McGinn's return to action should help to alleviate some of the issues Unai Emery has had to contend with in midfield.

"In six the six league games in which none of McGinn, Boubacar Kamara, or Youri Tielemans have started, Villa have won just once. The latter two remain injured but Emery has named his captain in the starting XI."

Anderson and King have had little flurries respectively but were both eventually hounded out. Forest do have a corner here though, much to Fulham's frustration.

Sky Sports' Callum Bishop:

"133 shots in their last seven games. Seven goals. That is a conversion rate of just 5.26 per cent.

"When you note that in many of these games that they lost, they only lost by one goal, it becomes apparently clear where the problems lie.

"Unfortunately for Vitor Pereira, there isn't much he can do than rely on the same players to step up and perform. Igor Jesus leads the line yet again under the new Forest boss. That has been the case in all bar one fixture since Pereira came to the club.

"Yet, Jesus is yet to reward the trust with goals. He has just one in that time frame. The issue is, there isn't an obvious replacement. Lucca is unavailable, Wood is still injured and Awoinyi has scored just once all season.

"Jesus needs to put in a performance that is capped off with a goal, because he can't rely on his team-mates to get him out of jail."

Fulham boss Marco Silva speaking with Sky Sports:

"We work all week to prepare for the game. Many things are involved in this decision [to name his starting XI]. We know that we are going to have a really competitive game. We think that is the best starting circumstance.

On Raul Jimenez starting:

"We spoke with him. He has all the support from myself, my staff and all the football club. I had a conversation with him. He was always with us. He was ready and feels completely ready to help the team."

Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira speaking with Sky Sports:

"We need a win. We must do everything because we have the quality and personality and the confidence to play our game. This is what I want to see from my team today.

"We like to have the ball. But in this moment, it is important to have the confidence to play in both systems and to be ready to play in both systems. If you have Plan A and Plan B it is better for you because you can surprise them. We try to not give them any information before the match."

Sky Sports' Lynsey Hooper at the City Ground:

"After the draw between West Ham and Manchester City, they come into the game with Fulham in the relegation zone for the first time since early November.

"Vitor Pereira is desperate to turn around some form. It was a strong line-up in Europa League action on Thursday. It's another today. He reverts to a back four with just one change from the draw against Manchester City. Cunha is injured and drops out of the squad completely. So an attacking change as Callum Hudson-Odoi starts.

"Marco Silva made nine changes for the FA Cup defeat to Southampton, but is back to a more familiar looking starting XI this afternoon. Three changes from the Premier League defeat to West Ham. Anderson and Wilson back while Bobb also starts.

"Raul Jimenez does start this one after having doubts after his father passed away this week. Fulham have proved really difficult opposition for Nottingham Forest since both sides were promoted in 2022. They have won six of the last seven Premier League meetings between the sides."

Sky Sports' betting expert Lewis Jones:

Under Sean Dyche, Elliot Anderson often looked restricted, his creativity curtailed by a rigid system. His development was stagnating.

But Vitor Pereira has handed him the freedom to express himself from midfield, and it's paying off. The young midfielder is taking shots, making late runs into the box and generally being far more influential in attack.

The numbers underline that shift. Anderson has had eight shots in his last three Premier League appearances, and that includes a brilliant finish against Manchester City, showing he's capable of producing quality when given the license to roam.

Anderson to score at 4/1 with Sky Bet looks very attractive.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1

Notttingham Forest's Neco Williams speaking with Sky Sports:

"It's all about focusing on ourselves. We have to take it game by game. Today's a chance to get going.

On having the license to attack and shoot.

"I was a striker back when I was a kid. I've got the license to shoot. The important thing is you have to be clever with it. We have to be clinical. We haven't been that in the last few games.

"We are still creating chances, we are still getting shots off. We have to try and finish the end product off right."

Liverpool vs Spurs odds and score prediction

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones...

When a team finds itself under pressure, there's a predictable knock-on effect of rash decisions, mistimed tackles, and that yields cards. That's exactly where Tottenham find themselves right now.

Spurs are leading the Premier League for yellow cards this season, with 74 so far - that's 2.62 per game. And if you look at red cards, only Chelsea players have been dismissed more often than Tottenham, who have already racked up four reds.

The trend is crystal clear. Tottenham have been shown two or more cards in each of their last eight games across all competitions, including a spectacular five-card haul against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. That kind of disciplinary record perfectly highlights the kind of issues plaguing this team and the pressure isn't going away when they visit a high-intensity opponent like Liverpool.

All this points to Tottenham to be shown over 2.5 cards at 6/4 with Sky Bet rating as a cracking wager.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-2

Liverpool vs Spurs team news

Arne Slot is hopeful Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson will be available, with the Brazilian's fitness being monitored after he missed the midweek loss to Galatasaray with a minor issue.

Federico Chiesa is expected to be available after illness ruled him out in Istanbul.

Alexander Isak remains unavailable as he continues his rehab from the broken leg suffered against Tottenham in the reverse fixture.

Tottenham are without 12 first-team players for Sunday's crucial trip to Liverpool after Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha were ruled out.

The pair are in concussion protocols and join the suspended Micky van de Ven in being out for the game at Anfield in yet another blow to Igor Tudor's relegation-threatened side.

Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior insists he is happy with his goalkeeper options after Filip Jorgensen's error against PSG.

The Blues boss will have to decide whether to stick with Jorgensen or reinstate Robert Sanchez - who was dropped for the previous Premier League game against Aston Villa - when Chelsea face Newcastle on Saturday.

Jamie Gittens is back in contention after injury having joined full training but Estevao remains sidelined as Chelsea build him back up after his hamstring issue.

Newcastle will be hoping Anthony Gordon has shaken off the illness which restricted him to a sub role against Barcelona when the Magpies go to Chelsea on Saturday night.

Yoane Wissa, who was an unused sub against Barcelona, is injury free and available.

However, Lewis Miley is not currently training with the group and Bruno Guimaraes will not return from Brazil, where he is receiving treatment on a hamstring injury, until Monday.

Hello and welcome to Sky Sports' digital coverage of the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Newcastle.

There's nine points between fifth-placed Chelsea and Newcastle in 12th. With nine league games left, you'd have to think this is must-win game for Newcastle if they want to try and muscle their way into the race for Champions League qualification.

However, for Chelsea, this is a big opportunity, especially with Man Utd and Aston Villa, who are above them, playing each other tomorrow.

Kick off at Stamford Bridge is at 5.30pm. We'll bring you all the action as it happens but before that, we'll have plenty of build-up, including the team news at 4.15pm.

Pedro Neto has been handed an additional game ban, following his red card at Arsenal at the start of this month, and will miss Saturday's game with Newcastle.

The Chelsea winger served a suspension for picking up two yellow cards in quick succession at the Emirates, missing Chelsea's subsequent win at Aston Villa in the Premier League.

However, he has now been given a one-match suspension and £70,000 fine for "misconduct after he was sent off".

The decision comes after an independent regulatory commission hearing, in which Neto admitted the charge against him.

The FA say "it is alleged that Neto acted in an improper manner by failing to leave the pitch promptly and/or using abusive words towards the match official/s."

Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior insists he is happy with his goalkeeper options after Filip Jorgensen's error against PSG.

The Blues boss will have to decide whether to stick with Jorgensen or reinstate Robert Sanchez - who was dropped for the previous Premier League game against Aston Villa - when Chelsea face Newcastle on Saturday.

Igor Tudor has issued a warning that a new coach at Tottenham would not instantly turn around the club's fortunes.

The pressure ramped up on head coach Tudor after Spurs slipped to a 5-2 loss at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday following a shambolic opening where back-up goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky made two disastrous errors before being replaced after 17 minutes.

Tottenham, who face a trip to Liverpool live on Sky Sports on Super Sunday (kick-off 4.30pm), now have four defeats in a row to start Tudor's tenure in north London - which is a first in the club's history - and the six consecutive losses in all competitions they have suffered is also a record.

It has led to calls for Tudor to be replaced, but the under-fire Croatian insists Spurs' issues, which he claims are bigger than he imagined, will not disappear with someone new at the helm.

"People think a new coach will come in and things will change and the problems will resolve," Tudor told Sky Sports.

"It makes me laugh.

"When people want a new coach, it's a new hope. People always want new hope that things will change but the reality is totally diffierent. The reality is not that.

"In this world where everyone has an opinion, you can never win. But as coaches we have to focus on what we can change. We need to stay calm and believe in ourselves."

'My job is to help the players'

An 11-match winless run in the Premier League has Tottenham in 16th, just one point above 18th-placed West Ham before Sunday's daunting trip to Anfield.

With only nine games remaining, a first relegation since 1977 is a very serious proposition for Spurs, who have lost five in a row in the Premier League for the first time in 22 years, but Tudor remains confident he can help the players turn around a difficult situation.

"I don't feel good because we don't have results," Tudor said. "The problems are bigger than I was thinking.

"There are a mix of emotions. I still have a will and a confidence to try and change things, but the problems are always coming back from nowhere like a red card or what happened in the last game [against Atletico Madrid]. Everything you work on and prepare is gone, and it is nothing about you as a coach, which gives you a bit of frustration.

"In other ways, I see the guys and they want to change things. It's not easy for them, they are young guys who recognise the difficult moment.

"I need to find a strength in what I am doing and my job is to help the players."

Tudor on Spurs' injury problems: 'You have to be inventive'

Defender Micky van de Ven feels the team faced a "doomsday scenario" against Atletico, with the club "taking blow after blow" as mistakes cost them dearly in Spain.

Tudor has also confirmed that captain Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha will miss the trip to Anfield as Spurs' injury problems continue. Both are following concussion protocols, but it adds to Tudor's problems with Van de Ven suspended and Yves Bissouma also out.

When asked if he has been unlucky with the problems that have plagued Spurs since his arrival, Tudor said: "I don't believe in that stuff.

"But there's too much. Every game, two or three players are out.

"Sometimes it is not easy to understand the reasons. Sometimes you understand the problems and I recognise them, but it's been difficult.

"It is what it is and we need to accept that. We need to see it as a challenge and not cry."

Tudor added: "When you have 10 players every game, 12 maximum or maybe even 13 and you don't have a central defender every game and Archie [Gray] is playing in four different positions. When you don't have full-backs or four defenders, tell me, how can you manage this situation?

"Every time you have to invent and also, what is more interesting is in two training sessions you have to teach them positions that they have never played before.

"You need to be very, very good to teach all these things in one or two training sessions."

'The players are on board'

There have been reports of a rift between Tudor and his players, who have reportedly lost trust in him after such a difficult start to his tenure at Spurs.

However, Tudor played down rumours of a rift and was defiant as he looks to end Spurs' losing run at Anfield.

"When you are in this moment it is not easy to change things," Tudor said.

"It is even difficult to try and explain this situation in words because it is very rare and unusual.

"We need to be on board because it is always about being all together," he added on the reports his players have lost trust with him.

"They are [on board]. They work and they try to do what I say. They believe."

When asked if he still feels 100 per cent confident in his ability to turn things around, he said: "Would you expect me to sit here and say no?"
