Premier League News

The European soccer season is drawing to a close, but who will win the race for the titles, cups and European qualification -- and who will be relegated?

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim defended making wholesale changes to field the club's youngest ever Premier League lineup in Sunday's 4-3 loss at Brentford.

Chelsea moved a step closer to Champions League qualification on Sunday by beating under-strength champions Liverpool 3-1 with a first-half strike from Enzo Fernandez, a ricocheted own-goal by Jarell Quansah and a Cole Palmer penalty.

Ruben Amorim assesses Manchester United's performance during their 4-3 loss to Brentford and praises the young players that featured.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has said he and his staff knew before kick-off "that our team would struggle" against Brentford's physicality.
