Vieira managed the south London side from July 2021 to March 2023‚ having led them to the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley in 2022 and 12th-place in the Premier League. After he was replaced by predecessor Roy Hodgson and then current manager Oliver Glasner‚ Palace qualified for the Europa League by winning last season's FA Cup‚ but were demoted to the Conference League due to multi-club ownership issues. It seems‚ though‚ that Vieira still has a soft spot for Palace.
IAN LADYMAN AT THE EMIRATES: A statement performance from Arsenal yielded a statement win. Beating a meek and mild Tottenham in the north London derby is one thing‚ downing a hot and hungry Bayern Munich three days later quite another. Vincent Kompany's German champions arrived in London wearing a cloak of invincibility. Arsenal tore it from them and hung it from the ramparts of Fortress Emirates. Bayern‚ unbeaten all season‚ were given a lesson here. Arsenal were quicker‚ stronger and largely just better.
OLIVER HOLT AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: No one ever forgets where they were the first time they saw Lionel Messi play live. In my case‚ it was here in west London on a Wednesday night in February 2006. Messi was still only 18 that night when he came out in the colours of Barcelona . He had long hair‚ magic feet and an unmistakable aura of greatness.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY IAN LADYMAN: We meet in a cafe in north London‚ about half a mile away from the stadium where set-pieces and long throws are suddenly back in vogue. Have Arsenal really reinvented the wheel‚ then?
The right-sided Israeli defender spent just one season at Stamford Bridge‚ and was most often known for what he did off the pitch than what he did on it during his spell with The Blues. After a successful start to his career with Maccabi Tel Aviv and Bolton Wanderers ‚ then-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho brought him to west London in 2007‚ and a delighted Ben Haim vowed that he would 'play in any position' for his new manager. But after Mourinho dramatically resigned in September that year‚ just three months after Ben Haim made the switch‚ the Stamford Bridge hotseat was given to Israel boss Grant.

Thomas Frank has revealed he was interviewed by Manchester United and Chelsea on the same day during his final year in charge of Brentford . The Tottenham manager shed light on the two meetings that took place on May 24 2024‚ beginning with a conversation inside Sir Jim Ratcliffe 's garage before travelling across London for further talks with Chelsea.

The towering centre-back‚ who is in the best form of his life for The Gunners‚ clutched his groin as he was hooked by Carlo Ancelotti under the lights at the Emirates. He appeared in some discomfort after taking a knock on the 63rd-minute during the match held in North London‚ where he has put on some exceptional performances throughout this season. Flanked by medical staff‚ the defender slowly trudged off the pitch and looked dismayed as he was replaced by Roma defender Wesley.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has labelled his 2022 move to Chelsea a 'f****** big mistake' and shed light on the circumstances which took him to Stamford Bridge for a potential reunion with former head coach Thomas Tuchel. The Gabon international had spent a significant portion of his career at the Blues' London rivals Arsenal‚ after moving to the Gunners in 2018 from Borussia Dortmund. However‚ a well-publicised fall-out with manager Mikel Arteta had soured his final period at the Emirates‚ prompting a January move to Barcelona four years later.
IAN LADYMAN: We now live in a world where nothing is good enough and no complaint is too late or too loud. A referee's on field decision is not deemed acceptable until it's been verified by some men in a van in a car park in west London. But they have been found to be human too so we don't madly trust them either. And that has led us to here‚ to a place where a club like Liverpool feels compelled to complain to the Premier League about a decision that involves a nuanced and subjective interpretation of the offside law.
Chelsea climbed to second in the table with a dominant 3-0 victory over Wolves on Saturday - netting three in the second half after a first ever goal from unlikely scorer Malo Gusto. The Frenchman headed the Blues in front after a frustrating first half against the Premier League's biggest strugglers‚ with Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto adding to the scoresheet to hand Enzo Maresca's side a comfortable victory in west London. Daily Mail Sport's KIERAN GILL was at Stamford Bridge to assess Chelsea's performance as they returned to winning ways after Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Qarabag.
Darren Fletcher's son Jack has travelled to London for Manchester United's clash with Tottenham on Saturday afternoon. The 18-year-old is yet to make his first team debut for United‚ but made it to the bench on a number of occasions last season‚ and comes in for Kobbie Mainoo who is absent due to injury.

The Spurs stopper‚ 29‚ was greeted with a chorus of boos alongside his team-mates after Thomas Frank 's side slumped to a 1-0 derby defeat against Chelsea on Saturday evening. A major flashpoint at the end of the tie in north London emerged when Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven gave their manager the cold shoulder. Lip-reader Jeremy Freeman told the Daily Mail today that England star Spence told his boss‚ 'I ain't doing it... go away‚' before waving off his entreaties as van de Ven trudged off ahead of him.

Joao Pedro's smart finish inside the penalty box was enough to earn Chelsea a comfortable 1-0 win over Tottenham in north London on Saturday - and the only regret Enzo Maresca's side will have is that the didn't pile on more misery for Spurs. A convincing performance‚ led by the tenacity and rigour of Moises Caicedo in midfield‚ saw Chelsea dismantle Thomas Frank's side with ease and leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the satisfaction of climbing level on points with their London rivals in the Premier League table. Meanwhile‚ it was a torrid afternoon for Tottenham‚ who were booed off the pitch by their own fans after a disjointed and lacklustre display on home soil.
KIERAN GILL AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur were booed off the pitch tonight after slumping to a feeble defeat against Chelsea. It was a night of drama in north London‚ where the two sides were - on the scoreboard at least - only separated by the fine margin of a Joao Pedro strike. But in reality‚ Enzo Maresca's men could have left with at least two‚ if not three goals‚ and Spurs fans would not have much room to complain. Here's how the players rated...
