It seems that certain players will lace up with rainbow laces in their boots, and Hugo Lloris will be wearing a rainbow captains armband, as Cesar Azpilicueta was for Chelsea yesterday.

Newcastle team reaction.
Newcastle fans seem happy with the lineup, which sees Bruno Guimaraes in from the beginning.
More good news, as Joelinton is back in the side for the Magpies amid injury concerns.
Many fans however are confused at the shape that they are playing, which sees four midfielders in the side, this means Joe Willock or Joelinton could be playing out wide.

FULHAM did for Steven Gerrard in midweek – and they could have just put the final nail in Jesse Marsch’s Leeds coffin. The miserable Whites plunge into the bottom three for the first time this season following their fourth straight defeat.

Winless in eight, furious Leeds fans once again turned on Marsch. 
After Bobby Decordova-Reid put the Cottagers 2-1 up, the locals yelled “You’re getting sacked in the morning” at the American. 
And boos were ringing around all four corners of Elland Road when Willian bagged Fulham’s third after Alexander Mitrovic had earlier cancelled out Rodrigo’s opener. 
Before this latest chastening defeat, United chiefs insisted Marsch had enough credit in the back and would not be axed if beaten by Fulham.

But owner Andrea Radrizzani – also heckled by angry home supporters – now faces a huge decision. 
With trips to Liverpool and Tottenham two of their three games before the World Cup break, things could get worse yet. 
On the other hand, Marco Silva’s West Londoners are motoring. 
Having seen off Aston Villa 3-0 on Thursday, this was their fifth win of the season – the same as they managed across 38 games when relegated two seasons ago.

Marsch made six changes following Thursday’s shocking 2-0 defeat at rock-bottom Leicester, drafting in Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk, Luke Ayling, Jack Harrison, Sam Greenwood and Rodrigo. 
For what the underfire American described as a “big, big game” in his programme notes, Patrick Bamford was benched. 
Battered by the mutinous travelling fans at the King Power, Marsch pleaded: “We have to stick together. 
“We all need your support now more than ever, as being unified is what makes this club so special”. 
Starting the day in 16th, only outside of the bottom three on goal difference, a fast start was imperative to keep Elland Road onside. 
United duly delivered but there were moans and groans just 14 minutes in when Harrison Reed was only denied by an incredible goal-line clearance by Marc Roca. 
The grand old stadium was bouncing six minutes later though when Rodrigo put them ahead. 
Jack Harrison was through on goal following Antonee Robinson’s horribly mistimed interception, but Tim Ream scarpered across to block.

Ballooned up in the air, Rodrigo was on hand to nod home his fifth of the campaign at the back post. 
Yet the relief was short-lived, with Leeds keeper Illan Meslier – making his 100th Whites appearance – gifting red-hot Mitrovic the equaliser. 
The Serbian got in front of Ayling at the near post to meet Andreas Pereira’s cross but his flick-on was straight at the Frenchman, only for it to spill through his hands and in. 
On fire this season, this was the Serbian’s ninth Prem goal in 11 games – tripling his tally of three when Fulham were relegated in 2020-21. 
Leeds were all over the shop now and Meslier went someway to making amends when denying Pereira to his left after the Brazilian raced in unchecked on a rapid counter. 
The Cottagers had the better of a back-and-forth first half but Leeds were inches away from taking the lead again at the start of the second when Brenden Aaronson scooped one just over. 
Elland Road were doing their best to roar their lads on but all four corners were silent when Pereira slipped Joao Palinha in on the break, only for the Portuguese to make a right hash of it and spoon out under pressure from Ayling. 
Marsch called for Bamford 63 minutes in and the striker had a huge chance moments later, but Bernd Leno was out in a flash to deny him when played through by Aaronson.

The American has bemoaned their lack of ruthlessness in front of goal all season. 
And, not for the first time, they were made to pay when the defence switched off again and Fulham took the lead. 
A corner from the right found its way back to Andreas Pereira, who whipped it into the Bobby De Cordova-Reid at the near post. 
In an embarrassing amount of space 12 yards out, his glancing header into the far post prompted further fury directed at Marsch. 
Then came the chants telling the home manager he will be unemployed by Monday morning.
Yet it’s not just Marsch the Leeds supporters are fed up with, as they also let rip at owner Andrea Radrizzani. 
And things went from bad to worse when Willian made it 3-1 with six minutes remaining. 
Harrison Reed waltzed through two weak challenges in the box and teed up the Brazilian.

Prompting further boos from all four corners of Elland Road, disgruntled fans walked out en masse to end another miserable day at the office for Jesse Marsch.

LEICESTER gave Wolves a lesson in the art of clinical finishing as Brendan Rodgers side won for the first time on the road this season.Incredibly Leicester scored four goals from just five shots – compared to Wolves’ 21 as they underlined why the Molineux side are the nation’s most feeble finishers with just three home goals to celebrate this season!

No wonder their fans turned toxic long before the end as they vented their fury at Technical Director Scott Sellars, rather than chairman Jeff Shi.
“Scott Sellars, get out of our club,” they demanded, followed by “We want Sellars out,” as they booed their side off after their fifth defeat in six games.
Wolves emergency signing Diego Costa worked his tail off but has yet to get off the mark for a club which has managed a mere five goals in 12 games.
This could have billed this as the stick or twist derby between two of the Prem’s basement dwellers.

Leicester City decided to stick with Brendan Rodgers in spite of pressure from a vocal section of their disgruntled support.
Wolves opted to twist again – like they did last year!
Their idea of stability has been to install Steve Davis as a semi-permanent interim boss until 2023.
But that didn’t make Davis immune to a bit of sledging from opposition fans – rather than his own who were too busy on Sellars’ case.

With Leicester 2-0 up inside 20 minutes through Youri Tielemans’ wonder strike and Harvey Barnes’ clinical finish, the travelling Foxes fans targeted Davis.
“Sacked in the morning, you’re getting sacked in the morning,” they taunted towards a club with no manager!
That completed Wolves Under-18 coach’s initiation as a modern-day Premier League boss, even if it wasn’t a very accurate summary of his role.
In fairness: “You’re returning to your former duties in the morning,” doesn’t have the same ring to it!
Davis must have been scratching his head and wondering how his side were trailing, yet alone two goals down, after having Leicester on the ropes in a whirlwind start.
But Rodgers’ men look far more resilient now and having kept three clean sheets in their last three home games, they refused to buckle despite Wolves’ blitz.

In-form goalie Danny Ward tipped Costa’s fierce shot over while Daniel Podence had a couple of attempts blocked and Joao Moutinho fired wide as Leicester clung on grimly.
However, Jonny was booked for conceding a daft free kick for a tug at James Maddison and how the visitors made him pay.
Maddison, fresh following a one-match suspension, delivered deep into the box and when it was headed out Tielemans allowed the ball one bounce before volleying a screamer beyond Jose Sa.
The keeper could only watch as the ball cannoned in off his far post from 25 yards for a quite outrageous finish.
Costa earned a cheer from Wolves fans for removing a blue flare which had been chucked onto the pitch by celebrating Leicester fans.
But like the missile, the veteran striker was handled safely and failed to do any damage.

It wasn’t for the lack of trying as Ward raced off his line to block Matheus Nunes, Daniel Amartey threw himself in front of another Costa shot, before Bueno suffered a similar fate.
As Wolves frustration grew Max Kilman headed over from a Moutinho corner before Leicester added insult to injury by adding a second with their second attempt on goal.
Maddsion’s crossfield pass picked out Barnes who played a give and go with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall before drilling low beyond Sa for his fourth goal of the season.
When Costa then had a back-post tap-in brilliantly blocked by James Justin and Ward saved spectacularly to deny Podence, Wolves must have realised this wasn’t to be their day.
After an hour their fans turned toxic and directed their fury at Sellars – before Leicester added a third!
Maddison took a Jamie Vardy pass and held off Adama Traore and Nathan Collins before slamming home his sixth goal of the season.

Incredibly it was the Foxes third shot which resulted in their third goal – in contrast to Wolves 20 attempts!
And it got worse for the home side when Timothy Castagne set up substitute Vardy to open his account for the season from close range to complete a rare away day victory for the visitors.

Whatever Ralph Hasenhuttl said at half time did the trick and The Saints looked a completely different side in the second half.
Their tactics and approach play seemed to neutralise Arsenal and they were unlucky not to find a second goal to take all three points.

And he never made a senior appearance for Liverpool.
But he led Forest to a memorable victory at the City Ground to show Klopp what he was missing.
Forest may have started the day bottom of the table, but they used a rocking Trentside atmosphere to produce their performance of the season.
But Forest needed an incredible late save from Dean Henderson who got down one handed to keep out Virgil van Dijk’s stoppage time header.

And then he did it AGAIN to keep out Mo Salah.
Boss Steve Cooper said Forest would have to be “near perfect” to beat Liverpool – and they were.
They created a string of chances but had to wait to the 65th minute before opening the scoring.
And it was Awoniyi – who had frustrated Liverpool all day – who was in the right place at the right time.

His first effort hit the post, but he made of netting the rebound.
But the player remembered his Premier League roots – and there was a muted celebration from the man who Cooper knew from his days at the Anfield Academy.
Forest paid what was a club record £17million for Awoniyi in the summer – and he showed why Cooper wanted him.
Liverpool – without an away win this season – looked strangely off the pace as they searched for a third successive win to rekindle their title bid.
But they failed to make the most of their chances with van Dijk caught in two minds when he was presented with a first half header.
