Premier League mid-season review: Who wins the title? Who gets top four? There are many reasons loans make sense to even the biggest clubs. It is a question many Premier League clubs have been grappling with during this January transfer window and though only seven have replied in the affirmative, the fact that four of them belong to the traditional ‘Big Six’ - including Manchester United's acquisition of Wout Weghorst - proves that temporary transfers are by no means the preserve of those desperately scrambling to avoid relegation. Taking a three-goal lead into the home leg means Erik Ten Hag should be able to rotate his squad for today's match.

Minute-by-minute report: Two moments of second-half magic from Son Heung-min lit up an otherwise drab encounter, whgile Arnaut Danjuma scored on his Spurs ...

36 min: Spurs win a free-kick wide on the right, deep in Preston territory, in line with the front edge of the penalty area. 44 min: Now Sessegnon attempts to cross the ball from near the left touchline, only to see his effort intercepted by Alan Browne. Spurs have looked bereft of ideas in the face of a stout wall of white resistance. 67 min: From the left touchline, Ryan Ledson tries to send a cross into the Tottenham penalty area. Son and Perisic take it short and the South Korean creates an angle to get the ball into the Preston box. With his back to goal in the Preston penalty area, Son takes a fine pass around the corner from Perisic. “He receives the ball in nice areas and just basically passes it back to opposition while his defending makes TAA look a world class defender.” A seriously underwhelming first half is put out of its misery by referee Peter Bankes but Preston manager Ryan Lowe won’t care about the paucity of entertainment. It wasn’t much of a game and the first half was particularly dreary, but two moments of second-half class from Heung-min Son put the game beyond Preston before Arnaut Danjuma came off the bench to score on his debut. 62 min: Preston have responded well in the face of their Son-induced adversity. Perisic raises his left hand to signal his intention to whip the ball to the near post. They’re the positions I like to shoot from and in the first half I had two chances but the goalkeeper made good saves.

Tom Cairney cancelled out Jack Clarke's quickfire opener to earn Fulham a 1-1 draw with Sunderland in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Cairney took a touch, then another, then left a defender on the floor, and only when he was ready did the midfielder draw Fulham level by firing past Patterson. “The positive thing was the spirit of an extraordinarily young team,” Mowbray said. Diallo’s profligacy was a worry for Sunderland, whose promotion hopes could be hit by their striker Ross Stewart suffering a suspected torn achilles during the first half. The equaliser invigorated Fulham, who quickly introduced Willian and Mitrovic. Diallo, on loan from Manchester United, was a constant threat in attack, although they could have done with the forward showing more composure. “There’s a bit of frustration we didn’t see the game out. That was the trigger for Clarke. [Fulham](https://www.theguardian.com/football/fulham) that Sunderland, who lie a point off a playoff spot in the Championship, are moving in the right direction. Fulham, seventh in the Premier League, could not be accused of a lack of commitment. Sunderland’s left-winger knew to press Diop, whose distribution has never convinced, and it was too late by the time the Fulham centre-back tried to react; the ball had gone and Clarke was opening up his body to guide a smart finish beyond Marek Rodak. This richly entertaining game was all the better for both teams taking the FA Cup seriously. [defeat to Tottenham](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jan/23/fulham-tottenham-premier-league-match-report) as an excuse for their slow start.

After holding a narrow lead for almost 70 minutes, the Premier League side left it late to pull away from Accrington Stanley at Wham Stadium. The Foxes left it late to edge past Walsall at Poundland Bescot Stadium with a 1-0 win thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho's strike midway through the second half. Amadou Mbengue pulled one back from the bench for the Royals, but it was too little too late to provide the day with an upset. One of the trickier ties this weekend did not produce a clear winner was is not hugely surprising after Premier League outfit Fulham were held by Championship side Sunderland. It was the case for 50 minutes or so as Tottenham failed to break down their hosts until Heung Min Son opened the scoring after he was served by Japhet Tanganga. This weekend's FA Cup fourth round games are not going against the grain after the majority of Premier League teams made it through on Saturday with only Fulham being taken to a replay.

Cairney managed to wriggle past the attentions of a couple of Sunderland defenders just inside the penalty area before despatching a left footed drive low into the corner of the net. Tosin Adarabioyo almost nudged a stunned Fulham level from close range Fulham began to dominate the majority of the first half. The Whites – who rested a number of regular first-team players, including top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic and Tim Ream – were caught out on just six minutes when Issa Diop was robbed of possession on the right, allowing Clarke to stride forward into the penalty area and slide the ball home.

Four other ties will need replays to find a winner, including Championship leaders Burnley’s clash with Ipswich after a 0-0 draw at Portman Road. I think we are ready for some big challenges now.” Iheanacho’s 17th goal in 23 FA Cup appearances had some fortune as his strike from the edge of the box took a wicked deflection for the only goal 23 minutes from time. Jesse Marsch’s men face a fight to survive in the Premier League, but are beginning to click as an attacking force with the returns of Patrick Bamford and Luis Sinisterra from injury. Four minutes later United were two up, when Casemiro let fly with a stunning strike from outside the box to find the bottom corner. But Son brought the game to life after a lacklustre first half with a sumptuous curling strike with his left foot.

[a 4-0 win](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/07/manchester-united-reading-fa-cup-match-report); two years later Romelu Lukaku clinched [a 2-0 win](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/05/manchester-united-reading-fa-cup-match-report) for the home side. Ince will certainly be keen for his side to impress on the big stage, likewise Ince Jr (AKA Tom) who is of course among the visitors’ playing staff. United have hosted Reading twice in the last six years and on both occasions had little difficulty seeing them off. “We have to do everything to bring a trophy in.” Those were the words of Erik ten Hag in the wake of Manchester United’s waltz past Nottingham Forest on Wednesday to near enough book their ticket in the EFL Cup final. [Reading](https://www.theguardian.com/football/reading) make a hash of trying to clear. Tom Ince places his shot carefully into the centre of the United wall. Maguire is playing for his future at Old Trafford, and Carroll is the dictionary definition of “a handful”. Rashford then find Weghorst and when he gets the ball back on the edge of the box, he skips past Hoillett to win the foul. Loum burrows forward down the left and swings in a cross which clears both United centre-backs and sails towards Malacia, who decides to control the ball on his chest inside his own box. United double their lead instantly when Fred (who has just come on for Eriksen) lays the ball off to Casemiro 30 yards out and the Brazilian takes his chances with a first-time curler. He kills a crossfield pass dead, cuts in from the right and slips in Casemiro, who has made a rare run into the box beyond the United frontline. A third-gear win in the end, with Antony and Casemiro a class above everyone else.

We pick out some of the big talking points from the FA Cup action, including how Man Citys win over Arsenal will affect the Premier League title race; ...

He remained a source of quality for the Saints throughout, although was quieter in the second period. He teed up Takehiro Tomiyasu for a thunderbolt and another cross was prodded just wide of the post by Eddie Nketiah. Perhaps the one problem for Arsenal was that all this output came from just 21 touches - the fewest of any starter from either side. He scored two superb goals - helped in large part by Blackpool's parting defence - and was a terror for Blackpool in the first half especially. Haaland won five of his seven duels in the first half, predominantly up against Rob Holding. Losing to League One side Accrington in the FA Cup would be simply non-negotiable. If this is to be the transformative moment for Son, it has come at a crucial time for Spurs. Marsch has been adamant that his side are making progress despite not winning in the league since the World Cup. While Southampton may not be flourishing in the Premier League, they are having rather more success in cup competitions. Form is temporary, class is permanent and this was the perfect example of that. His second, swivelling and striking firmly home, was a result of his returning confidence. Today was a lovely pass for the first goal.

The Brazil international struck twice in four second-half minutes as United won against second-division Reading 3-1 and progressed to the fifth round.

Then, in the 58th, he let fly from around 25 meters to double United’s lead. Leslie Adekoya, however, gave them something to cheer with a late consolation goal. “He knows the positions, how to deal with the ball and also he is creative as well and we are really happy with him. His influence was evident against a Reading team that withstood United’s dominance until the 54th minute. “I actually felt that because I felt United had lost their presence. “It’s what you do against Manchester City and Arsenal and Liverpool and Chelsea and win titles. “If we had played United a year ago I would have felt we had a right good chance of beating them,” Ince said. “He is really important with all his experience but he is such a smart player and intelligent,” Ten Hag said. “When you play for Man United, it’s not what you do against Reading or other teams, Leicester or Southampton, no disrespect,” Ince said. His mastery was evident when Reading forward Andy Carroll’s frustration boiled over and he was sent off for a second yellow card after a wild challenge on Casemiro in the 65th. Reading manager Paul Ince was a title-winning midfielder with United in the 1990s and outlined what Casemiro must do if he is to help return the club to its former glories. Casemiro was a serial winner with Real Madrid and on Saturday he kept Manchester United’s trophy hunt going strong in the FA Cup.

City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno says he is enjoying taking the difficult route in the FA Cup after keeping another clean sheet against Arsenal.

“I was really happy for him because in the last few weeks he’s so played so good. When we can play long, we have a big striker so when teams press us like this it’s the easiest way to go in front of the goal. It was a good way to show that we are here. I think in the end we deserved the win just a bit more. I really enjoy these games. “Arsenal tried to press man against man really high with speed, so it was difficult to find the right solution to play in the normal way we want to play,” he said.

On a day lacking major shocks, there were wins for Premier League teams Leeds, Leicester and Southampton but Fulham were held by Championship side ...

In the first half I had a couple of chances to shoot but the keeper made a good save. It’s important that I could help the team go to the next round. “As a striker or as an attacking player, the important thing is that you get that goal. “You don’t win what he’s won without being a top player,” he said. “It was really important. But the 30-year-old brought the fourth-round tie to life after a lacklustre first half with a sumptuous curling strike with his left foot and he killed the tie off 21 minutes from time by spinning his marker and firing high past Freddie Woodman.
