Liverpool v Ipswich, Wolves v Arsenal and more: Premier League clockwatch – live | Football

“I’m sure Ipswich are huge underdogs today but, as a long time plastic Liverpool fan, I am forever primed for the lesser fancied teams to come to Anfield and derail a title challenge,” says Niall Mullen. “Some people never got over Vietnam or the night their band opened for Nirvana. I guess I never got over Liverpool 1-2 Coventry, April 6, 1997.”

Dion Dublin never scored a more important goal for Manchester United.

On this day in 1994… Bristol City win at Anfield and prompt Graeme Souness’s resignation as Liverpool manager.

City move up to second in the WSL after an ultimately comfortable victory at Villa Park. Vivianne Miedema scored twice, the second a glorious goal, while their new signing Kerolin came off the bench for her debut.

Celtic’s Scottish Premiership match against Dundee on Saturday has been postponed following storm damage to the club’s stadium. Storm Éowyn brought winds of up to 100mph in central Scotland on Friday and a Met Office red weather warning of danger to life.

WSL: Aston Villa 2-4 Man City (71 min)

Manchester City lead 4-2 in an entertaining game at Villa Park. It was 2-2 at half-time, with Vivianne Miedema scoring twice for City inbetween the opening goal from Chasity Grant and an own-goal from Laia Aleixdandri. Mary Fowler and Jess Park have given City breathing space in the second half.
