Major Stories from Saturday Mohamed Salah grabbed the headlines even though he was absent in the Reds' hectic 3-3 draw at Leeds United. Salah delivered an astonishing critique on manager the Dutch coach, claiming him of tossing him “to the wolves” after omission from the first eleven for the third straight match. The player stated that he felt singled out for blame for the team's disappointing beginning to the campaign. “I can’t believe … I am sat on the bench for 90 minutes,” the Egyptian stated. “This is the third match on the bench, perhaps for the first time in my professional life. I’m very, very disappointed.” Another major Premier League development saw the Gunners' last-gasp loss at Villa Park, sealed by Emi Buendía's decisive strike. That result, combined with Manchester City's comfortable victory over Sunderland, has left a very tight battle at the summit of the standings. Outside English football, Lionel Messi as ever wrote the script for Inter Miami as they lifted the league championship, defeating Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 in the final. Sunday's Top-Flight Matches The Seagulls host the Hammers in a 2pm GMT start. The visitors have displayed signs of life under the appointment of manager Nuno. An impressive point at Manchester United means he has presided over a run of just one defeat in five games. Fulham against Crystal Palace is a rematch of last year's cup quarter-final. The Eagles are aiming for a fourth straight victory on the road in the league, having beaten Burnley, Wolves and Liverpool without conceding in their recent travels. The FA Cup Second Round England's famous cup competition second round provided lots of drama on Saturday. National League South side the Seagulls created a historic moment by reaching the next round for the first time in their history. Other notable results featured: Swindon Town hammered Bolton – a league above them – 4-0. Cambridge defeated Stockport County on spot-kicks. Sixth tier Buxton FC were ahead against Cheltenham before eventually suffering a 6-2 loss. Today's FA Cup schedule features: Slough Town v Macclesfield (12.30pm GMT kickoff) Boreham Wood v Newport County Gateshead v Walsall Blackpool v Carlisle United Developing Mini-Leagues There seems to be a trio of distinct mini-leagues forming in this campaign's top flight. Championship Contenders: The current leading pack are apparently contending for the championship. The Mid-Table Scramble: A very tight section contains several big names, all with aspirations for the top five. Can any string together a winning run to challenge the top teams? The Relegation Battle: The dogfight to stay up likely concerns Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Burnley and West Ham, with Wolves looking particularly in trouble. Clubs such as Brentford or Fulham could also be sucked into the fight. Other Matches Today Outside the Premier League and FA Cup, Sunday's fixtures feature: Women's Top Flight: (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) Around the Continent: Real Madrid v Celta Vigo (8pm CET) Borussia Dortmund v Hoffenheim (4.30pm CET) The Salah Debate Continues The fallout from Mohamed Salah's explosive interview rages on. Opinion is split into two distinct sides to the argument. On one hand, has Salah done enough to speak out as a bona fide club icon? On the other, is manager Slot right in doing what he believes is necessary to attempt to win matches? Views from supporters seems divided: “United fan here. If memory serves, Salah was PFA Player of the Year 6 months ago and now he’s chief scapegoat. Not the way to treat a club legend.” “Can we pause to feel sorry for Mo Salah? He must have overlooked that he is currently Liverpool's best-paid player... A victim, Mo, you are not.” What next for the Egyptian king, then? Many think his relationship with the club may now be burned. Will he move on loan to a club abroad? Might he accept a lucrative offer and head for the Saudi Pro League following the AFCON? Matches Abandoned A pair of Championship matches were called off yesterday. The game between Charlton and Portsmouth at The Valley was halted in the early stages after a fan was taken ill. It was later announced the fan died in hospital. Blackburn Rovers's game against Sheffield Wednesday was also paused and abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch at Ewood Park. Torrential rain – for the second occasion this season at the ground – rendered the field unplayable. There is no confirmation on when either game will be replayed.
