Manchester United face old nemesis Vincent Kompany at Burnley this weekend in desperate need of a Premier League win while Arsenal host in-form Tottenham in a tantalising north London derby.

In a meeting of two former European champions in crisis, Ajax and Marseille drew 3-3 in "a crazy game" while Liverpool and West Ham were also winners Thursday in the opening round of Europa League group games.

After Jurgen Klopp became the first Liverpool manager to win 50 European games on Thursday night he insisted "everybody will hate it." Klopp changed his entire team for the opening game of the Europa League group stage away to LASK and, despite falling behind, Liverpool won 3-1.

Liverpool fell behind for the fourth time in five matches this season but fought back to beat LASK 3-1 in Linz in the Europa League on Thursday. Elsewhere in the early matches in the first round of the group stage of the second-tier European competition, Romelu Lukaku earned last year's beaten finalists Roma a 2-1 victory at Sheriff.

The 2023-24 Europa League season is upon us, with Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham, Roma, Leverkusen, and several other top teams kicking off their continental campaign.

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana said he had let his teammates down after a howler set the tone for a 4-3 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich.

The Spanish boss did not need any words to describe what one of his team's bitter rivals are doing this season, but left no doubt about his feelings towards them.
