Why is Bruno Fernandes not playing for Manchester United against Liverpool?

Manchester United make the trip to Liverpool for their Premier League clash against the Merseysiders on Sunday.

United take on Liverpool at Anfield as they look to get over a disappointing week after losing at home to Bournemouth in the Premier League and getting knocked out of Europe in midweek with defeat to Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.

Fernandes out for Man Utd

Dutch boss Erik ten Hag will be without attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes for the clash against Jurgen Klopp’s side on Sunday.

United captain Fernandes has scored three Premier League goals this season and has also registered three assists.

The Portugal international is unavailable as he is serving a one-match suspension.

Fernandes, 29, picked up his fifth Premier League yellow card of the season in the club’s 3-0 loss to Bournemouth last weekend when he was booked for dissent with five minutes left of normal time.

Every mistake Tottenham & Daniel Levy have made since 2019

Image
For much of Daniel Levy's tenure as Tottenham chairman, he oversaw a lot of undeniable and tangible progress. Spurs were mid-table fodder when ENIC took control of the club in 2001. Since then, they've elevated the club to consistent European contenders (despite a lack of silverware) and have invested in state-of-the-art facilities. But when they viewed the time had come to turn from nearly-men to winners, they took the club backwards again. And again. And again. Here are Levy and the Spurs board's greatest blunders since their peak of reaching the 2019 UEFA Champions League final. 1. Too little, too late in the transfer market Ndombele even scored a worldie on his debut / Marc Atkins/GettyImages This one's a bit of a prelude to this whole debacle, but it still runs true. From 2018 to 2019, Tottenham went nearly 18 months without making a signing. Not one. Zilch. Nada. The board bemoaned that conducting transfer activity was hard. Spurs spent the 2018/19 season running ...

Top scorers on the final day of Premier League seasons

Image
The final day of an invariably long, hard league campaign can be the setting for season-defining matches. However, more often than not, everything of relevance has already been final ised for both clubs involved, giving many of the simultaneous set of matches the care-free recklessness of the last day of primary school. It's no surprise that the final round of matches invariably produces more goals than the average across the preceding nine months of each season . Here are the players, with their favourite toy stuffed into their backpacks, that have taken advantage at the end of each season . 10. Teddy Sheringham - 7 11 years separated Teddy Sheringham's first and last final-day goals in the Premier League / Phil Cole/GettyImages Never blessed with burning pace, timing always underpinned Teddy Sheringham's superb career. By the summer of 2004, aged 38, what little speed Sheringham ever had was long gone - yet, that didn't stop the veteran from coming off the bench to s...

Liverpool handed boost after Barcelona rule managerial target out of race to succeed Xavi

Image
Barcelona sporting director Deco has questioned the credentials of Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim and effectively ruled him out of the race to replace Xavi this summer. Xavi will stand down from his role as Barca's head coach at the end of the 2023/24 season and there has been plenty of speculation over who his successor will be. Like Barcelona, Liverpool are also on the hunt for a new manager with Jurgen Klopp leaving the club at the end of the season. Both have been linked with 39-year-old Amorim, who has done a stellar job at Sporting since his appointment in 2020, notably leading them to their first Portuguese title in 19 years during his first full season. Xavi's time at Barcelona is nearing an end / Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/GettyImages The Daily Mail recently reported that Amorim will be considered by Liverpool as a Klopp successor. However, he looks unlikely to be in the thoughts of those at Barcelona. During a recent trip to his native Portugal, Deco fielded questi...
