đź”— Share this article Top Flight Preview alongside FA Cup Round Two Developments plus Additional Coverage Preamble Good morning to another Sunday day. This is your comprehensive football coverage hub, focusing on the day's key soccer action. England's top division presents fascinating matches featuring Brighton & West Ham as well as Fulham & Crystal Palace. On top of that, a crucial Scottish Premiership clash between Celtic and Hearts, alongside Women's Super League action and cup second round drama rounds out the schedule. As always share your thoughts telling us how you'll be following the action. Let's get into it. Yesterday's Headlines Liverpool's Egyptian star commandeered the spotlight even though he was absent in Liverpool's hectic 3-3 draw at Leeds United. Salah delivered an stunning critique on manager Arne Slot, claiming him of tossing him “under the bus” after being left out the starting lineup for the third consecutive game. He expressed that he felt singled out for blame for the team's poor beginning to the season. “I can’t believe … I am sat on the bench for 90 minutes,” the Egyptian stated. “This is the third match on the bench, perhaps for the first occasion in my professional life. I am extremely disappointed.” Another significant top-flight development saw Arsenal's last-gasp loss at Aston Villa, sealed by Emi BuendĂa's winning strike. This outcome, combined with City's straightforward win over the Black Cats, makes for a incredibly close race at the top of the standings. Away from the English football, the Argentine maestro once again played the hero for his MLS side as they lifted the league championship, defeating Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 in the final. Sunday's Top-Flight Matches The Seagulls host West Ham for an 2pm GMT kickoff. West Ham have shown flickers of improvement since the arrival of head coach Nuno EspĂrito Santo. An impressive midweek draw means he has overseen a run of just one defeat in five games. Fulham against Crystal Palace is a rematch of last season's FA Cup quarter-final. Crystal Palace are aiming for a fourth straight away win in the league, having defeated three opponents without conceding in their recent away fixtures. The FA Cup Second Round England's famous cup competition second round delivered lots of drama on Saturday. Sixth-tier side Weston-super-Mare created a historic moment by reaching the next round for the first time in their history. Additional standout results featured: Swindon thrashed Bolton – a division above them – 4-0. Cambridge United beat Stockport on penalties. Non-league Buxton FC were ahead against Cheltenham before eventually enduring a 6-2 defeat. Today's FA Cup schedule includes: Slough Town v Macclesfield (early start) Boreham Wood v Newport County Gateshead v Walsall Blackpool v Carlisle United Developing Mini-Leagues There seems to be a trio of separate mini-leagues forming in this campaign's top flight. The Title Race: Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa are apparently vying for the top prize. The Packed Middle: A incredibly congested group includes Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle and Manchester United, all with designs on the European places. Can any string together a winning run to threaten the top teams? The Relegation Battle: The dogfight to avoid the drop probably concerns Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Burnley and West Ham, with Wolverhampton Wanderers appearing particularly vulnerable. Teams like Brentford or Fulham could also be sucked into the fight. Elsewhere in Football Away from the Premier League and FA Cup, Sunday's schedule include: Women's Top Flight: (All 12pm GMT unless stated) Leicester City v Manchester City London City Lionesses v Brighton & Hove Albion Manchester United v West Ham United Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Chelsea v Everton (2.30pm GMT) Around the Continent: Real Madrid v Celta Vigo (8pm CET) Borussia Dortmund v Hoffenheim (4.30pm CET) The Salah Debate Continues The fallout from Mohamed Salah's comments rages on. Opinion is split into two clear camps to the debate. On one hand, has Salah earned the right to speak out as a true Liverpool legend? On the other, is boss Slot justified in doing what he believes is necessary to try to win games? Fan opinion appears split: “As a Manchester United supporter. If memory serves, Salah was the players' player of the year 6 months ago and now he’s chief scapegoat. This is no way to treat a legend of the club.” “Perhaps we should pause to have sympathy for Mo Salah? He must have forgotten that he is currently Liverpool's highest ever earning player... A victim, Mo, you are not.” The big question for the Egyptian king, then? Many think his relationship with the club may now be burned. Could he seek a loan to another European club? Might he take the pay day and move to Saudi Arabia following the AFCON? Sad News from the Championship Two Championship fixtures were called off on Saturday. The game between Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth at The Valley was halted in the early stages after a supporter was taken ill. It was later announced the supporter passed away in hospital. Blackburn Rovers's game against Sheffield Wednesday was also stopped and called off due to a waterlogged playing surface at Ewood Park. Torrential rain – for the second occasion this season at the ground – made the field unsuitable. There is no word yet on when either game will be rescheduled.
