The Athletic. Hello and welcome to the weekend preview on the Athletic Football

Podcast sponsored by Bet 365. I'm Dan Bardell with my co-host George

Ellic and Bet 365's very own Steve Freeth alongside me as ever

to preview the best of the weekend Premier League action which includes

West Ham v Arsenal, Spurs v Leicester, Newcastle v Liverpool and Everton

against Chelsea. But before we get properly

stuck into the pick of the weekends games let's quickly reflect on last night's

match at old Trafford, a won-one draw between Manchester United and Chelsea, 33-year-old departing the

Maniomatic setting up 37-year-old Christina Rinaldo for United to equalizer.

George, that probably just about sums up United's current situation,'t? Yeah I guess so. I mean it was a

quality ball from Matich. It was lovely. You know having watched about two decades of

Matich playing holding midfield I didn't really know he had that in him. It was a brilliant

chip through and a great touch and finish from Christina Rinaldo. And no matter what you think of him,

I think given the couple of weeks that he's had, I don't think anyone can begrudge him celebrating with the United

fans again and scoring a goal. It was poor from a go to cante twice giving away

possession before the goal a player who you know has been so consistently

superb in the Premier League for a long time, maybe going through his his poorest

spell but Chelsea were by far the better team throughout the game you know they

had the better chances they controlled possession and it was a game where it

meant very little to Chelsea and was a must win game for

United Slim hopes of finishing the top four so you know it's it's a time of

transition for Manchester United we've heard rumors over the last couple of days that their current manager is set to be appointed the Austria manager whilst also taking on a consultancy role at the club.
