Other highlights include the giant-killing of MK Dons by Aldershot Town and Newcastle United’s victory over Leicester City at St James’ Park ข่าวบอล. We can only hope that these matches will provide some more variety in the weeks to come!

Unfortunately for fans of either club, it looks as though they’ll both have to do without their biggest stars in one form or another. Jose Mourinho has confirmed that his team is ‘doubtful’ when it comes to playing Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who limped off in Armenia on Sunday night after picking up an injury during Manchester United’s 0-0 draw with the RPL champions.
