曼联将前往历史悠久的对手利兹进行下一场比赛，而随着对主教练迈克尔·卡里克的压力不断增大，曼城则希望在其未来前景不明的情况下继续保持英超联赛开局全胜。
Manchester United will travel to historic rivals Leeds for their next match as pressure mounts on manager Michael Carrick while Manchester City aim to extend their perfect Premier League start despite the uncertainty over their future.
如果曼城因违反英超联赛财务规则而面临严厉制裁，布莱顿可能成为最大赢家之一。
Brighton could be one of the big winners should City suffer severe sanctions for breaking the Premier League’s financial rules.
海鸥军团目前士气高涨，仅落后排名第二的阿森纳两分，将在周日对阵水晶宫的仇恨之战之前迎来这一局面。

曼联的联赛开局是40年来最差，而在周二以0-2不敌马德里竞技之后，后卫利桑德罗·马丁内斯因俱乐部缺乏投资而对俱乐部高层发起攻击，进一步将球队推入混乱。

这名阿根廷球员在红魔仅在转会窗口期间引进了三名中场后，将矛头指向了技术总监杰森·威尔克斯。
The Argentinian took aim at Technical Director Jason Wilcox after the Red Devils added only three midfielders during the transfer window.
但马丁内斯本人也一直是球队开局糟糕的主要责任人之一，他在最近几周对富勒姆和托特纳姆热刺的比赛中失球方面负有责任。
But Martinez himself has been one of those most culpable for a miserable start to the campaign for his part in goals conceded to Fulham and Tottenham in recent weeks.
曼联在开局的六场联赛中仅赢了一场，并且上个月还在联赛杯中被布莱顿淘汰出局。
United have won just one of their opening six league games and were also dumped out of the League Cup last month by Brighton.
利兹上次在埃兰德路击败红魔是在2002年，但他们在上赛季4月份双方交手时，曾在卡里克临时执教期间主场击败过红魔，这是卡里克上任期间红魔在主场遭遇的唯一一次失利。
Leeds last beat the Red Devils at Elland Road in 2002 but did inflict the only home defeat of Carrick’s interim spell in charge last season when the sides met in April.
自亚历克斯·弗格森于2013年退休以来，卡里克正日益面临成为老特拉福德无法扭转急剧下滑局面的最新主帅的风险。但他表示，等待他球队的敌对氛围正是反弹的绝佳机会。
Carrick is increasingly at risk of becoming the latest manager unable to turn around a sharp decline at Old Trafford since Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. But he said the hostile atmosphere that will await his side presents the perfect chance to bounce back.
“周日的这场比赛[准备起来]真是太棒了。这对我们、俱乐部、历史以及支持者来说都是一场精彩的比赛，”卡里克说。
“What a great game [on] Sunday to prepare for. It’s a fantastic game for us, for the club, for the history, for the supporters,” Carrick said.
“与比赛有关的一切都是一场精彩的比赛，所以我们将做好准备。”马丁内斯此后已为其言论道歉。
“Everything to do with the game is a great game, so we’ll be ready for that.”Martinez has since apologised for his comments.
曼城凭借六场联赛六胜，稳坐积分榜首位，但如果他们未能成功推翻超过100项违反英超规则的有罪裁决，这一切可能都将付诸东流。
Manchester City sit pretty at the top of the table with six wins from six league games, but that may all count for nothing if they do not successfully overturn a guilty verdict on more than 100 charges of breaking Premier League rules.
恩佐·马雷斯卡率领的球队上周末在利物浦客场以3-0零封对手，摆脱了这一干扰，尽管周二在与巴黎圣日耳曼的惊险欧冠比赛中以2-4落败，但他们在下半场表现出色，实现了令人印象深刻的反弹。但他们未来的不确定性已使整个联赛陷入僵局。

曼城否认任何不当行为，而这起始于八年前的案件，在上诉被审理并可能宣布制裁之前，仍有至少几个月的时间。

City can stretch their lead at the top to six points when Ipswich visit the Etihad on Saturday. Arsenal are not in action until 24 hours later at Nottingham Forest.
英格兰足球监管机构在曼城提出上诉后表示，他预计将在一月份之前得到结果。
The football regulator in England said after City’s appeal that he expects an outcome by January.
阿森纳本赛季唯一的一场失利是在0-3被布莱顿大胜。布莱顿的崛起令人瞩目，随着其他传统豪门本赛季表现挣扎，他们有望达到新的高度。
Arsenal’s only defeat this season came in a 3-0 trouncing by Brighton, whose remarkable rise could reach new heights this season with many of the other established giants struggling.
布莱顿凭借老板托尼·布卢姆在数据分析方面的专长，一路从低级别联赛杀入欧洲赛场。但他们尚未参加过欧冠比赛。
Brighton have soared through the divisions and into Europe on the back of owner Tony Bloom’s expertise in data analytics. But they are yet to play Champions League football.
尽管布莱顿经常将核心球员卖给更富有的俱乐部，但他们在球员和教练方面的精明引援使他们得以持续蓬勃发展。
Despite routinely selling their prized assets to wealthier clubs, Brighton’s smart recruitment of both players and coaches has allowed them to continue to thrive.
这也使他们成为中立球迷的最爱，但主教练法比安·胡尔泽勒希望他的球队在周日对阵水晶宫的比赛中展现出“狠辣”一面。
That has also made them a neutral’s favourite, but manager Fabian Hurzeler wants his side to show their nasty side against rivals Palace on Sunday.
“我们想要变得无情。我们想要营造一种充满活力的氛围，让对手很难来到这里，”胡尔泽勒说。“我们必须和球迷一起继续建设这一点，不再做那支‘好好先生’的足球俱乐部。”
“We want to be ruthless. We want to create this energetic atmosphere where it makes it so hard to come to this place,” Hurzeler said. “We have to keep building this together with our fans and not be the nice football club any more.”
