45'Bailly has been stretchered off. We wish him a speedy recovery.

45'Sad to see. This looks like a serious injury for Bailly and the physios are taking their time to get him on the stretcher so that they don't cause him any serious damage.
Substitution
at Manchester United

45'United sub: Martial on for Bailly.
-
45'Bailly is up but it looks like he has a problem with his head so he will be brought off.
-
45'5 minutes added time.
-
43'Maguire is literally a warrior. He'd probably head a brick-wall. He's currently down injured alongside Bailly as they clashed heads as they went up for a header. Fingers crossed they are ok.

-
13'Speaking of which, Leicester's defeat to Tottenham today is great news for both sides.
-
12'It's hard to predict which team will win the FA Cup. League position has nothing to do with it like we saw yesterday with Arsenal beating City.
