Government officials seeking to lift ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans<\/p>\n
The latest on Maccabi Tel Aviv\u2019s visit to Aston Villa:<\/p>\n
Senior government officials will meet on Friday as they look to reverse a decision by West Midlands police to ban fans of the Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv<\/a> from a European match at Aston Villa next month.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a004.48 EDT<\/p>\n Eddie Howe says Yoane Wissa is back on the grass, and the Newcastle manager is asked about the appointment of Ross Wilson as sporting director. \u201cI wasn\u2019t overly involved [in process of recruiting him] \u2026 I back Ross\u2019 appointment and hope we can work together really well.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n On the rivalry with United, Slot says: \u201cI look forward to every single Premier League<\/a> but maybe even more towards the Man United one because I know how special it is \u2026 United, in my opinion, have had a better start to the season than maybe the league table is showing.\u201d<\/p>\n On Alexander Isak: \u201cI think now he\u2019s had his five, six weeks of pre-season which is normal for every player, especially if you\u2019ve been out for three or four months. Fitness-wise he\u2019s close to the level he should be and I think we can judge him in a fair way from now on.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Slot lays out his side\u2019s troubles this season:<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve conceded too many goals. We\u2019ve conceded nine where four of them are from set pieces. That is still a strength of ours, which sounds weird if you concede four \u2026 The other five were two fast breaks and three from open play. In open play we are conceding too many crosses so that is one of the things we have to address and do better.\u201d He also cites how teams are going long against them. \u201cWe have to find answers to that.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Slot: Alisson to miss Manchester United clash<\/p>\n Arne Slot has the injury updates: Ryan Gravenberch is \u201ccompletely fit\u201d, Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 is training \u2026 but Alisson will not play this weekend and has yet to return to practise.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n After losing their campaign opener against Lyonnes, Arsenal are on the board in the Women\u2019s Champions League after beating Benfica. But there\u2019s still plenty of work to do:<\/p>\n Arsenal\u2019s midfielder Mariona Caldentey said \u2018almost everything\u2019 needs to be better after a laboured defeat of Benfica secured the holders\u2019 first win of the Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Here\u2019s the latest on the news that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans will not be allowed to attend their side\u2019s Europa League meeting with Aston Villa next month.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>New Manchester United stadium ‘an amazing opportunity’ for region Collette Roche, Manchester United\u2019s chief operating officer, believes the club\u2019s construction of a new stadium to replace Old Trafford is \u201can amazing opportunity\u201d which can drive the regeneration of the region.<\/p>\n While plans for the facility are yet to be finalised, Roche is confident there will be wider benefits. \u201cIt\u2019s very early in the journey, but it\u2019s an amazing opportunity that we\u2019ve got, not just for Manchester United, but for the region,\u201d she told We Built This City<\/a> podcast. \u201cWhilst we\u2019ll build a stadium that\u2019s great for our team and for the club and our fans, it\u2019s so much more than that.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s become a regional project and probably will be one of the biggest in Europe. As such, it\u2019s bigger than us at Manchester United. So, we needed to get support and work with a lot of stakeholders across Manchester and central government. It\u2019s not just a Manchester United vision. It\u2019s a vision for the region. It\u2019s a vision for Trafford and it\u2019s a vision for Manchester, and that\u2019s why Andy Burnham [the mayor of Greater Manchester] and Trafford council are really keen to work with us.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Preamble<\/p>\n Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to the Premier League<\/a>. The big one this weekend? It\u2019s Manchester United\u2019s visit to Liverpool on Sunday, with the defending champions on a three-match losing streak. Maybe the international break ends the funk; Arne Slot will be speaking to the press shortly.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a bit on that as well as the rest of the weekend\u2019s lineup. Let\u2019s get stuck in:<\/p>\n![\"Jamie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Jamie-Jackson,-L.png\")
