Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Today’s EPL fixtures<\/b><\/p>\n

Southampton vs. Wolves(Live SS 223,3PM)West Brom vs. Man Utd(Live SS 223,5PM)Arsenal vs. Leeds(Live SS 223,7.30 PM)Everton vs. Fulham(Live SS 223,10PM)<\/p>\n

Ezgjan Alioski \u201ccan\u2019t wait\u201d to lock horns with Nicolas Pepe again tonight, claims Patrick Bamford, with the Leeds defender contributing to the Arsenal forward being sent off in their last encounter.<\/p>\n

Back in November, during an eventful 0-0 draw at Elland Road, the Gunners saw their Ivorian winger dismissed after butting heads with the Whites full-back.<\/p>\n

Alioski came in for criticism on the back of that incident, with the Macedonian accused of going to ground too easily, but the enigmatic 28-year-old is looking forward to renewing the Pepe acquaintances.<\/p>\n

What has been said?<\/b><\/p>\n

Bamford revealed: \u201cDo you know what he said in the changing room? \u201cHe said: \u2018I can\u2019t wait for Sunday\u2019. I was like \u2018why?\u2019. He was like \u2018I\u2019m playing against my mate Pepe again.\u2019 I was like \u2018no way\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alioski versus Pepe<\/b><\/p>\n

On November 22, 2020, Leeds played host to Arsenal looking to put another marker down against a Premier League heavyweight. It appeared as though everything was working in their favour when Pepe was dismissed just six minutes into the second-half.<\/p>\n

He reacted to goading from Alioski, with the pair coming together off the ball. Pepe took issue with that and proceeded to square up to his rival before pushing his head towards the Leeds defender.<\/p>\n

Alioski went down clutching his face and, despite the incident not being spotted by the match officials, a red card was delivered on the back of a VAR review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
