Jesse Marsch has lost his first game as the latest American coach to manage in the English Premier League. Marsch’s Leeds was beaten at Leicester 1-0 despite a spirited performance and remains in the midst of a relegation fight. Marsch says it is “very positive and a big step in the right direction” but Leeds is just two points above the relegation zone. Liverpool beat West Ham 1-0 to move within three points of leader Manchester City, which plays Manchester United in the derby on Sunday. Chelsea won at Burnley 4-0 on a day when all the matches were preceded with pre-match applause in a “show of solidarity” for Ukraine following the invasion by Russia.
