Hoj entirely at fault for the red. Feel sorry for Stephens.

Good changes, nice that we have a second RB to call on rather than shunting JWP there. Let's hope Ralph can sort out the issues tactically too.

FFS McCarthy.

Wonder how much longer Ralph lets this go on. Either KWP needs to come on, or Romeu with JWP going to right back.

Blimey, should be 1-0 down. McCarthy should have come to claim that I think.

Guendouzi left out entirely by Arteta, glad to see he has stricter rules than the FA!

Long on to run at a tired defence in this weather makes a lot of sense.

Let's hope Spurs don't see this stat on the BBC's Arsenal build up: "Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's 40 shots without scoring a goal is the most by any top-flight player this season."

Norwich look like they have given up. No Pukki or Cantwell against Everton.

Four years means four decent crosses! Bargain.

No Long in the training pics from yesterday.

7 subs, 2 of which are GKs and 5 of them have never made an appearance for Burnley. Hoping City can go ahead and make our home result to Leicester less extraordinary...

Yeah, we already knew that from JWP and Zaha though.

Chilwell's asking price just gone up £5m

Good to see United reverting to the old "if you can't beat them, spend as long in the box with the ball trying to draw a penalty as possible" tactic. 11 pens this season, we've had 2.

Not sure what Mourinho is on, starting that back two with Vertonghen and Alderweireld on the bench!

That's us safe. Big three points! Shaky start, as always with us these days, but Ralph showed once again that whilst not tactically perfect before games, he is very good at making changes to the system to get good results. Norwich were all over us until the first drinks break, then Ralph got a chat and we were noticeably better. Second half speaks for itself. Three great goals, clean sheet, solid performances all around, can't really ask for more!

Back injury

They have a few options to reduce game congestion - no cup replays, mid-week cup rounds, scrap the winter break. Of course, if there's another spike and it all gets called off again, I can see the season being scrapped or reduced to 19 games if it happens early enough in the season.

0-3 Adams hattrick incoming..!

Long a doubt for Norwich game, Djenepo suspended, JWP will be captain.

He's not worth £60m but I don't think we'd let him go for less. Same with Maguire - no way he's worth £80m objectively, but United wanted him and Leicester weren't prepared to sell him for less. Doesn't mean he's now better than VvD, Pique etc. because he cost more, but that was the value Leicester placed on him.

Dan Roan ✔ @danroan BREAKING: Premier League and EFL look set to announce both will be suspended until at least Apr 4th, when situation will be reviewed. Hearing EFL board agreed on this unanimously. Premier League meeting happening in 10 mins when clubs will be urged to follow suit

This is not true, merely speculation. There's not enough data to state that this will improve as the weather gets warmer. This virus is a coronavirus, not a flu virus. Lots of cases in Iran, Australia, some in sub-saharan Africa. While infection rates may show correlation to being higher in cold places, that could be because people tend to stay indoors and closer together more when the weather is cold - like the myth that you can catch a cold from being physically cold. Correlation does not equal causation.

Premier League teams meeting this morning to discuss postponing all games until the international break. Seems optimistic to me. Leicester, Chelsea, Arsenal and Watford all have players in isolation because of this. Brighton v Arsenal has already been postponed. At least we might have Redmond back available when this game finally gets played!
