Football on Off the Ball.
I think we've been consistent on our position that while our members and the association have made our position clear to UEFA about our sentiment of Israeli involvement in international football, that they are still entitled to play under UEFA regulations and therefore we will fulfill these fixtures. Join in the obsession. Subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join. Off the Ball's Football Daily. And welcome along to Monday's Football Daily. I'm Phil Egan. Coming up today, we'll look back at yesterday's Premier League action, including our live commentary games between Manchester United and Crystal Palace and Arsenal and Chelsea. We look ahead to tonight's rescheduled game in the League of Ireland between St.
Pat's and Galway United and could Iran's participation at this summer's World Cup be thrown into doubt? But first to the Emirates Stadium where Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says they're trying to stay calm in the Premier League title race after holding on to beat 10-man Chelsea 2-1. The Gunners are five points clear at the top at nine games to play but they have played a game more than second place Manchester City and the two sides still have to play each other at the Etihad in April. Arteta feels his side aren't the only ones finding the run-in to the end of the season tough.
We weren't getting the dominance and the sequences of play that we wanted and expected against the 10 men. So you have to navigate through that. And it's a big part of the game. And when you see the men and other teams are winning games, everybody's suffering.
Chelsea boss Lemur Senior wants a clamp down on penalty box grappling at corners after their loss to Arsenal. His side conceded both their goals from set pieces in North London, although they did score their goal from a corner as well.
There's a rule that says it can't be a foul if the ball's not in play yet. So there's a lot of holding and grappling that goes on before the ball's actually delivered. And I think that needs to be looked at because holding is holding. But I don't want to be bitter. We need to deal with it better.
Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira says expectations are high for Mikel Arteta's side after their style of play came in for criticism once again. Vieira says results is what matters at this stage of the season.
Yes, on the side of the game, creating, going forward, taking risk. We were, and I am a little bit disappointed, but the matter is for them is to win, taking the three points.
Manchester United interim boss Michael Carrick is equal to Premier League record after their 2-1 win at Hampton Crystal Palace. They picked up 23 points from his nine top-flight games in charge in the two spells, which has only ever been matched by former Tottenham boss Ange Postacoglu. The former United midfielder says they've had to adapt their game. To put the run together that we have, we've had to do it in different ways.
So that's what's more encouragement for me, really, is how we've ended up doing it in different ways. And, yeah, something to look forward to, really, to build on.
Palace boss Oliver Glasner wasn't happy after the loss. With a side 1-0 up, referee Chris Kavanagh awarded a penalty against Maxence Lacroix before he sent them off after a VAR intervention. Glasner says it was a controversial and game-changing decision.
The red card changed the game completely. I think it's a very hard decision, penalty and red card, because the foul started outside the box and usually the foul has to be given where it starts. On the other side, Mateusz Kunja was very smart to wait until he's inside the box and falling.
Former United defender Gary Neville says Michael Carrick's in the box seat now to become the club's permanent manager.
I think the run that they've gone on has been a shock to everybody, including probably Michael. Michael wouldn't have expected this in his wildest dreams. But look, he was always intelligent, Michael. He was always probably a real good personality and character, a good composure, a good temperament.
