Premier League news live updates: Tables, fixtures, reaction and latest news

We’ll give you more news updates tomorrow as match day two of this year’s Champions League group stage kicks off.

Brighton & Hove Albion are sticking to their policy of allowing key staff to talk to other clubs after the loss of head coach Graham Potter to Chelsea.

They gave Potter permission to speak to Chelsea last week after determining that £20 million in compensation for the surrender clause in Potter’s contract would be met.

Paul Barber, CEO of Brighton, said: “Football clubs are not prisons. We are not in a position to hold employees against their will.

“What we try to do as much as possible is protect ourselves with contracts. Contracts, we hope, will always be respected, but where people have an excellent opportunity and they think it’s better for them, their careers, their families, than we do have an open mind.”

Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim believes former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards could play for England in the future.

The 23-year-old will face his former club tomorrow for the first time since his departure in 2019.

In seven games this season, Edwards has scored three goals and three assists after coming over from Vitoria Guimaraes last January.

“Marcus is a very talented player,” said Amorim ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League match in Lisbon.

“He took time to adapt to the Portuguese lifestyle, but now that he has adapted to our team, he is becoming more consistent.

“He can get a lot better and play for the England national team. I trust him, he can grow a lot, he still has a long way to go, but we have done an excellent job hiring him.”

Barcelona manager Xavi has said Robert Lewandowski is “highly motivated” to go into tomorrow’s game against former Bayern Munich.

Lewandowski returns to his former home of eight years, where Bayern and Barcelona face each other in Group C of this year’s Champions League.

The veteran Pole urged Bayern to sell him to Barcelona in the summer, with the Germans reluctantly accepting a fee of up to €50 million (£43 million, $51 million), including extras.

Three Premier League games, including Chelsea vs Liverpool and Manchester United vs Leeds United, have been postponed ahead of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.

In a statement on Monday, the Premier League said: “After extensive consultations with clubs, police, local security advisory groups and other relevant authorities, there was no option but to postpone the three games.”

Brighton’s game against Crystal Palace on Saturday had already been canceled due to train strikes. The match at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Leeds on Sunday will no longer take place as scheduled, with police efforts concentrated in the capital. Similarly, Chelsea’s game at Stamford Bridge for later kick-off has also been canceled.

Newcastle United have signed former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius to a short-term contract.

The 29-year-old attacker signed a contract until January with an option to extend until the end of the season.

Speaking about the signing, Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe said: “We are delighted to add Loris to our goalkeeping squad.

“He is a very good goalkeeper with Premier League and European experience and he will provide competition and support for a significant part of the season.”

But their mid-week Champions League clash with Red Bull Salzburg is not in jeopardy in the current situation.

West Bromwich Albion have confirmed the signing of free agent Tom Rogic to a one-year deal.

The 29-year-old midfielder has played 178 league games for Celtic in nine years, scoring 32 goals.

Albion was forced to dive into the free-agent market after the chases of Joshua Onomah and Steven Alzate collapsed on the 11th hour deadline. Manager Steve Bruce was keen to add midfield reinforcements, especially after Alex Mowatt left Middlesbrough on loan for a season.

Rogic, who has 53 caps for Australia, adds depth to the center of the park, where he will support Jayson Molumby, Jake Livermore and Turkey international Okay Yokuslu.

Potter said: “It’s about creating a team that competes, that respects each other, that is fair, that works for each other. So it’s a combination of, I would say, human and football values ​​that we try to work with.

“I think you have to understand first that they (players) are people and the most important thing is to understand them, understand what motivates them and understand how they are as people.”

Pol Ballus spoke to the new Manchester City centre-back.

The Women’s Super League was set to have a great weekend, with games at Stamford Bridge and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but a postponement has delayed the start of the season – a blow after the resounding success of the European Championship this summer.
