Manchester United feel heat as they travel to Leeds; Martínez thanks fans after surgery – matchday live

Premier League match reports

Chelsea v Tottenham (12pm)

Spurs’ bright start to the campaign ended before the international break thanks to a 6-1 drubbing by London City Lionesses. By contrast, their London rivals are on a roll under Sonia Bompastor, unbeaten in 13 WSL games and with four wins on the spin. Six consecutive clean sheets in all competitions – their longest such run since December 2021 – underline the Blues’ glowing form. Taha Hashim is on the blog, with Suzanne Wrack reporting from Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez has undergone surgery after suffering a nasty head injury against Everton.

Martinez did not specify the nature of the surgery but posted a message on social media this morning.

“Thanks to everyone for the messages,” said Martinez, wearing a hospital gown. “The operation went well. The most important thing is that we won, and kept a clean sheet. In a few weeks we’ll be ‌back.”
