Burnley Football Club is reportedly in advanced discussions with Nicky Hayen, the former manager of Club Brugge and Haverfordwest County, to become their new head coach. This move follows the club's recent relegation from the Premier League and the departure of Scott Parker.

If two teams end level on points and goal difference in the 2025/26 Premier League, the hierarchy shifts to goals scored, then head-to-head records, with a playoff as the final arbiter. Arsenal's slim lead over Manchester City underscores the rules' potential impact in a tight title race.

Manchester City's Rodri will miss Wednesday's trip to Burnley due to a groin injury sustained in Sunday's 2-1 win over Arsenal, though Pep Guardiola left the door open for a potential weekend return.
