KICK-OFF – Premier League
We’re under way in the four early Premier League games!
Hearts beat Celtic to go eight points clear
It’s all over at Tynecastle Park! Hearts extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to EIGHT points thanks to a 3-1 win over Celtic! Strikes from Alexandros Kyziridis and Lawrence Shankland, along with an own-goal from Dane Murray, was enough to take the victory in Edinburgh.
Scottish Premiership: Four minutes have been added on as Hearts lead Celtic 3-1 in Edinburgh.
After a very brief injury scare, Gabriel Magalhães starts for Arsenal. There had been some concern regarding a knock picked up against Atlético Madrid midweek, but the centre-back retains his place in the Gunners’ line-up today.
Mary Waltz has messaged in from the US to say:
“Greetings from California. I consider myself a rational human so I ignore the recent spate of end of the world predictions. But with Hearts running Celtic off the pitch, Sunderland second in the table, who knows…..?”
John Brewin
Sean Dyche is in the building. Now, can he last longer than 39 days at Nottingham Forest? Soon, the Vitality Stadium’s rafters will be rocked by his baritone. He has made one change from the Porto game, and he’s already won one more game than Ange Postecoglou. A quick turnaround, though those acquainted with his spells at Burnley and Everton will know he is never one for rotation. He comes up against a Bournemouth team still in the top five, who have made one change from last week, Veljko Milosavljevic, just 18, at centre-back Eli Junior Kroupi, 19, will be their centre-forward after his two goals against Crystal Palace last week. The last time Dyche was here, in January with Everton, was his last game in charge of that club. Bournemouth won 1-0, the goal scored by David Brooks, on the bench here.
