How about that. Toby Collyer, born in Worthing, comes on to replace Casemiro. He’s making his Premier League debut at 20-years-old. Very ruthless from Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. No changes for Liverpool, obviously.Gary Neville on Sky Sports said: “That feels a big moment. I don’t know how that conversation has gone at half time when Ten Hag has hooked Casemiro in front of all his team-mates.”I don’t think he would have brought him off for the two mistakes.

Liverpool have made mistakes in these areas, but Mo Salah is class and the cross is delicious.”Copy linkCopiedMAN UTD 0-1 LIVERPOOL – DIAZ35: Goal! Oh Casemiro… he gives the ball away under no pressure whatsoever in midfield and Manchester United are punished emphatically.Mohamed Salah is quickly released down the right channel and his lofted cross reaches the back post, where Luis Diaz and Dominik Szoboszlai are both unmarked with the Colombian getting the all-important head on it.Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 16 goals against Manchester United in the Premier League (11 goals, five assists); the most of any player.Luis Diaz opens the scoringCredit: GETTYCopy linkCopiedMAN UTD 0-0 LIVERPOOL34: Manchester United broke from that corner but Noussair Mazraoui’s shot dribbles wide.

But the fight is heading to the judges scorecards. Another tough fight to call and entertaining. Judges scorecards coming up. Copy linkCopiedAarons vs SimpsonRound 3 – Aarons comes on strong landing some massive shots. But as he comes forward, Simpson fires back with a huge right hand. Maybe all to play for in the fourth and final round. Copy linkCopiedAarons vs SimpsonRound 2 – Simpson really comes into it in the second round, landing some decent right hands. Aarons walking into shots with Simpsons jab looking to have bloodied up his nose. Tide is turning the Prem winner’s way here. Copy linkCopiedAarons vs Simpson Round 1 – Frantic start to the fight as both come out swinging and not really knowing what they’re doing. Looked as though Simpson could have been in trouble but he got his composure back a bit and did land a decent jab on Aarons. Can’t keep that pace for four rounds though. Copy linkCopiedMain event time Danny Aarons and Danny Simpson are in the ring ahead of their fight. All comes down to this, with both making their boxing debuts. Copy linkCopiedJay Swingler returns! YouTuber Jay Swingler will make his return to Misfits Boxing. He came out to a WWE style entrance to confirm his comeback and rematch with NichLMAO. The two then had a little tussle in the ring – one of many ones tonight. Never gets boring apparently. Copy linkCopiedCrowd control TikToker HS Ticky Tocky got himself into a fight… after the fight! He clashed with a fan in the crowd, spitting at them and throwing a punch before trying to throw a chair. Luckily security stepped in just in time. Copy linkCopiedTaylor vs SilvaMassive win for Taylor, whose Misfits success continues. He was too strong for Silva and had him hurt on multiple occasions, dropping him with a big right hand. Silva looked exhausted as the ref jumped in to end it. Copy linkCopiedTaylor vs SilvaRound 3 – Taylor swarms Silva and has him in serious trouble smashing him into the ropes! Standing count is called and Silva is in huge trouble. Big right hand and Silva is DOWN! He makes it to his feet but Taylor keeps up the pressure and the fight is over! Ref stops it. Copy linkCopiedTaylor vs SilvaRound 2 – Getting messy here with Taylor flying in and just grabbing whenever something comes back his way. Silva lands a counter right uppercut but he’s getting frustrated with the holding. The action does start to hot up then cools down with a succession of holding. Copy linkCopiedTaylor vs Silva Round 1 – Taylor comes out swinging with shots over the top, looking for the body too. Silva is trying to box and move on the back foot but Taylor is not giving him time to breathe. Effective tactic but exhausting. Let’s see if he can keep it up. Copy linkCopiedBack underway After a fairly long wait Gabe Silva is on his way to the ring. His dad Anderson is considered one of MMA’s greatest and even boxed to defeat to Jake Paul. Taylor had a career in MMA before moving to Misfits Boxing and has been one of their standouts.

Gabe Silva – son of the legendary UFC champion Anderson – takes on Anthony Taylor. It has been bubbling for a while now and there’s a lot on the line here, including Taylor’s Misfits belt. Copy linkCopiedHS Ticky Tocky vs George FensomNot quite as brutal as feared but Fensom is down three times and beaten in round one. Fensom took the chance to hit the deck as quickly as he could and thankfully that’s a rather safe finish. Pointless exercise for HS and Fensom in honesty.

There is clearly a huge weight, size and skill disparity.Prayers go out to Fensom… Copy linkCopiedWeight to go Danny Aarons has gone from overweight gamer to the next KSI of Misfits Boxing with a sensational life turnaround.Aarons was over 17 STONE while rising to fame on YouTube playing FIFA video games.But amid the rise of celebrity-style crossover bout with Misfits Boxing, the 22-year-old fancied getting in on the action.He now makes his debut on Saturday night in a headline fight against Premier League winner Danny Simpson in Dublin.Copy linkCopiedFatherly glove Danny Simpson has two daughters, Skye, 13, and Vienna, four.His eldest Skye knows full well who his social media sensation opponent Aarons is – but he does not want either watching the fight.Simpson said: “I don’t want them to watch.”Watching your dad have a a fight, you know it’s not ideal when they’re used to watching me playing football forever.”Especially Skye knows Danny Aarons and the world. But they’re supportive and just told me to do my best.”Copy linkCopiedHS Ticky Tocky vs George Fensom Up next is controversial TikToker HS Ticky Tocky vs Love Island’s George Fensom. HS comes with a huge online following and divides audiences with his provocative content. Fensom meanwhile, sadly, looks like he’s never boxed a day in his life. Could be an ugly one this.
