And Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been talking ahead of that Brighton v Manchester United match.

As I’ve said many times I’m very confident in my players. If and when something happens, both ins and outs, we’ll update you. In football you can’t predict too much.

“For me, I’m just working on getting better. My focus is solely on the game, I can’t be thinking any other way. We need points and then we can talk again. “I think last season proved to us how we can defend at our best. Last week wasn’t fantastic, we conceded sloppy goals, but our defensive record shows that with Eric (Bailly) and Harry (Maguire) how good a partnership they were, but also the whole team defending as a team.

It came after one of the Newcastle keeper’s slowest days of the season, after what had often resembled a half-pitch, beat-the-packed-defence training exercise against a Leicester team largely too meek to threaten Geordie dreams.

Richarlison’s first Tottenham goals punish Marseille for Mbemba’s red card

By -
There was the obligatory pre-match footage of Lucas Moura’s winner at Ajax and then the declaration on the big screen at Tottenham’s magnificent stadium, one that is built to stage these kind of Champions League nights. “We’re back.” For so long, it appeared that the grand return after a two-season absence would fall flat, even when Marseille were reduced to ten men in the 47th minute following Chancel Mbemba’s last-man foul on Son Heung-min.
