Manchester United Embarrassed By Bournemouth, Chelsea Held At Everton
Manchester United crashed to a humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, while Chelsea missed the chance to go top of the Premier League after a 0-0 draw at Everton on Sunday. United boss Ruben Amorim, who once again left Marcus Rashford out of his squad, is set for a miserable Christmas following the worst result of his brief reign.

Premier League basement club Southampton on Saturday appointed Ivan Juric as their new manager on an 18-month contract.

Crisis-Hit Manchester City Slump To 2-1 Defeat At Aston Villa
Aston Villa beat crisis-hit Manchester City 2-1 on Saturday to heap more misery on floundering manager Pep Guardiola, who has now suffered nine defeats in his past 12 matches. Jhon Duran finished off a fine team move to give the home side an early lead and Morgan Rogers doubled Villa's advantage in the 65th minute. Phil Foden scored his first Premier League goal of the season in stoppage time but it proved to be too little too late. Pep Guardiola, in the worst run of his glittering career, said Friday that "sooner or later" things will turn around but City's fear factor has vanished.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has paid tribute to Ruben Amorim's impact at Manchester United ahead of the Cherries' match at Old Trafford on Sunday. Iraola's side are sixth in the table, seven places ahead of United but just three points clear of their opponents. Brought in after Erik ten Hag was sacked as United boss, Amorim's stint began with a draw against Ipswich. United have since won four games and lost three, with last weekend's derby defeat of Manchester City followed by a League Cup loss against Tottenham.
Pep Guardiola Confident Of Erling Haaland Revival If Manchester City 'Play Better'
Pep Guardiola believes Erling Haaland will find his form so long as the rest of his Manchester City team-mates raise their game but has not ruled out January transfer window signings as he looks to revive the Premier League champions' fortunes. City are enduring a slump unlike any Guardiola has known in his celebrated managerial career, having lost eight and won just one of their last 11 games in all competitions. The downturn has seen the usually prolific Haaland, a key figure while City were winning an unprecedented four successive Premier League titles, denied of service and chances while scoring just once in his last five appearances.
Premier League: Injured Eberechi Eze Out Of Crystal Palace's Clash With Arsenal
Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze has been ruled out of their grudge match with Arsenal on Saturday. The England midfielder will miss the Premier League game at Selhurst Park after aggravating an existing foot problem during Wednesday's 3-2 League Cup quarter-final loss to the Gunners at the Emirates. The 26-year-old first suffered the injury during last weekend's 3-1 Premier League win at Brighton but played on against Arsenal. "We have no-one back yet, but we do have one more injury: Ebs is unavailable," Palace manager Oliver Glasner told a pre-match press conference on Friday.
