Major Stories from Saturday Liverpool's Egyptian star stole the headlines despite not featuring in the Reds' thrilling six-goal thriller at Leeds United. Salah delivered an astonishing attack on manager Arne Slot, accusing him of tossing him “under the bus” after being left out the starting lineup for the third consecutive game. The player stated that he felt singled out for blame for the club's poor start to the season. “It's unbelievable … I am sat on the bench for 90 minutes,” the Egyptian stated. “This is the third match on the bench, I think for the first time in my professional life. I’m very, very disappointed.” Another significant top-flight story was the Gunners' last-gasp loss at Aston Villa, sealed by Emi Buendía's winning goal. This outcome, combined with City's comfortable win over the Black Cats, makes for a very tight battle at the summit of the table. Away from the English football, the Argentine maestro as ever played the hero for his MLS side as they lifted the league championship, beating Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 in the showpiece. Sunday's Top-Flight Matches The Seagulls host the Hammers for an afternoon start. West Ham have displayed signs of life since the arrival of head coach Nuno. A creditable midweek draw means he has presided over a run of just one defeat in their last five. Fulham versus Palace is a rematch of last year's cup last-eight tie. The Eagles are eyeing a fourth straight victory on the road in the league, having defeated three opponents to nil in their latest travels. The FA Cup Second Round England's famous cup competition round two delivered plenty of drama yesterday. National League South side the Seagulls made history by advancing to the next round for the first time ever. Other standout results featured: Swindon hammered Bolton Wanderers – a division above them – 4-0. Cambridge defeated Stockport County on penalties. Sixth tier Buxton FC were ahead against Cheltenham Town before finally suffering a 6-2 defeat. Sunday's FA Cup action includes: Slough Town v Macclesfield (early kickoff) Boreham Wood v Newport County Gateshead v Walsall Blackpool v Carlisle United Developing Mini-Leagues It appears three distinct battlegroups forming in this season's Premier League. The Title Race: Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa are seemingly contending for the championship. The Mid-Table Scramble: A very tight group contains several big names, all with aspirations for the European places. Will any string together a consistent form to threaten the elite? The Fight for Survival: The dogfight to avoid the drop likely involves several clubs, with Wolves appearing especially vulnerable. Clubs such as others could also be sucked into the battle. Elsewhere in Football Outside the English top flight and domestic cup, Sunday's fixtures feature: Women's Super League (WSL): (All 12pm GMT unless stated) Leicester City v Manchester City London City Lionesses v Brighton & Hove Albion Manchester United v West Ham United Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Chelsea v Everton (2.30pm GMT) European Football: Real Madrid v Celta Vigo (8pm CET) Borussia Dortmund v Hoffenheim (4.30pm CET) The Salah Debate Continues The reaction from Mohamed Salah's explosive interview rages on. There are two clear camps to the debate. On one hand, has Salah done enough to voice his frustration as a true Liverpool legend? On the other, is boss Arne Slot justified in doing what he believes is necessary to try to win games? Views from supporters appears split: “United fan here. If I’m not mistaken, Salah was the players' player of the year 6 months ago and now he’s chief scapegoat. Not the way to treat a legend of the club.” “Can we take a moment to feel sorry for Mo Salah? He must have overlooked that he is presently Liverpool's best-paid player... Someone hard done by, Mo, you are not.” What next for the Egyptian king, then? Speculation suggests his relationship with the club may now be burned. Could he move on loan to another European club? Might he take the pay day and head for Saudi Arabia after the Africa Cup of Nations? Matches Abandoned A pair of Championship fixtures were abandoned on Saturday. The match between Charlton and Portsmouth at The Valley was halted in the early stages after a supporter was taken unwell. It was later confirmed the supporter died in hospital. Blackburn's game against Sheffield Wednesday was also stopped and called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Ewood Park. Heavy rain – for the second time this season at the ground – made the pitch unplayable. There is no word yet on when either game will be replayed.
