The player stated feeling made a scapegoat for the club's poor beginning to the campaign. “It's unbelievable … I’m sitting on the bench for 90 minutes,” Salah reportedly said. “This is the third match on the bench, perhaps for the first time in my professional life.

The Title Race: The current leading pack are seemingly vying for the championship. The Packed Middle: A incredibly congested group contains Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle and Manchester United, all with designs on the European places. Can any string together a winning run to challenge the elite?

Teams like others could also be dragged into the battle. Elsewhere in Football Outside the Premier League and domestic cup, today's fixtures include: Women's Super League (WSL): (All 12pm GMT unless stated) Leicester City v Manchester City London City Lionesses v Brighton & Hove Albion Manchester United v West Ham United Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Chelsea v Everton (2.30pm GMT) European Football: Real Madrid v Celta Vigo (8pm CET) Borussia Dortmund v Hoffenheim (4.30pm CET) Ongoing Discussion About Liverpool's Star The fallout from the Liverpool forward's comments continues. There are two clear camps to the debate. Has he earned the right to speak out as a bona fide Liverpool legend? On the other, is manager Arne Slot justified in doing what he believes is necessary to try to win matches? Views from supporters seems divided: “United fan here. If I’m not mistaken, Salah was PFA Player of the Year 6 months ago and now he’s the main target. Not the way to treat a club legend.” “Perhaps we should pause to have sympathy for Mo Salah? He's probably forgotten that he is currently Liverpool's best-paid player... A victim, Mo, you are not.” What next for Mo Salah, then? Many think his bridges at Liverpool may now be damaged. Will he move on loan to another European club? Or will he accept a lucrative offer and move to Saudi Arabia after the AFCON? Matches Abandoned Two Championship matches were abandoned yesterday. The match between Charlton and Portsmouth at The Valley was halted in the 12th minute after a fan was taken unwell. It was later announced the fan died in hospital. Blackburn's game against Sheffield Wednesday was also paused and abandoned due to a waterlogged playing surface at Ewood Park. Heavy rain – for the second occasion this season at the ground – rendered the pitch unplayable. At this time, there is no word yet on when either game will be rescheduled.
