Before the game I was thinking Mo Salah would give Keane Lewis-Potter a hard time but Lewis-Potter has played him superbly today.

Potter giving youth a chance. That's positive at least. The lad can't do any worse than the rubbish out there.

Better spell from Leicester as Harry Winks' long-range effort forces a save from Bernd Leno, who reacts quickly to stop Jamie Vardy tucking in a rebound.

If Liverpool drop points tonight, it will give all their title rivals more confidence and extra energy to go for it.

Golden chance for Bryan Mbeumo here as he runs forward but a heavy touch just as he's about to enter the box allows Trent Alexander-Arnold to take it off his foot.
West Ham 0-1 Crystal Palace
A triple change from West Ham boss Graham Potter. Off go the trio of Emerson, Aaron Cresswell and Lucas Paqueta.
Eighteen-year-old central midfielder Lewis Orford is on for his debut, 19-year-old left-back Ollie Scarles also comes on as does striker Danny Ings.
Brentford 0-0 Liverpool
Chris Sutton
Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Liverpool are looking more and more dangerous. Brentford have been careless in possession.
You do feel it's coming for Liverpool but then Brentford also look dangerous when they break up the pitch.

Leicester's first chance in a while as Stephy Mavididi is saved by Bernd Leno at the near post. Fulham counter from the corner but can't turn it into a shot.
Brentford 0-0 Liverpool
It's 5-24 on shots here.

Martin Keown
Former England defender on Football Focus
This must be painful watching for Arsenal.
Statistically 20 odd shots from Liverpool and it's all them at the moment.
I think Liverpool will find a way to win this.
Leicester 0-1 Fulham
Yellow card for Fulham assister Sasa Lukic for a lunge on Boubakary Soumare.
West Ham 0-1 Crystal Palace
Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored his seventh goal in the Premier League this season. He has now scored in his last three games in the competition, the first time he has done that in his career.

Have a weird feeling that it will take Darwin Nunez to break the deadlock at Brentford.
Kopstar

Chance for Fulham to double their lead but Raul Jimenez pokes a header wide. I don't think you can poke a header wide actually. But let's just stick with that description.
Brentford 0-0 Liverpool
Cody Gakpo picks out Mohamed Salah in space. Is this the moment? No his shot is deflected by Keane Lewis-Potter and then headed off the line by Nathan Collins.

Kilman stuck in reverse there. Allowing Mateta all the time and room. Really poor from him.

Emile Smith Rowe has scored three goals in six appearances in the Premier League against Leicester City.

You know you're going to get hurt in that situation.
Fulham were the team asking more questions and they've started this second half like they did in the first.
Brentford 0-0 Liverpool
A couple of nearly moments for Liverpool as Brentford struggle to get a foothold in this second half.
Leicester 0-1 Fulham
Leicester City are heading towards a seventh consecutive Premier League defeat. They are already on their worst run since 2000-01.

Arsenal lost this exact fixture 2-0 last season – they’ve not lost consecutive home league games against Aston Villa since their first two meetings in the Premier League (0-1 in 1992-93, 1-2 in 1993-94).
Aston Villa have won five of their last 10 Premier League meetings with Arsenal (L5), as many as they had in their previous 46 against the Gunners (D14 L27).
None of the last 18 Premier League meetings between Arsenal (12 wins) and Aston Villa (6) have been drawn. The Gunners have only had a longer run against Newcastle (19 from 2012-2022), while the Villans have only had a longer run against Tottenham (a current run of 19).
Having lost just one of their first 13 Premier League away games against London sides under Unai Emery (W9 D3), Aston Villa have lost their last two visits to the capital by an aggregate score of 7-1.
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League home games (W10 D3) since a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa last April. The Gunners last had a longer run without defeat at the Emirates between August and April in 2018-19 under current Villa boss Unai Emery (16).
Aston Villa’s 1-0 win at Everton last time out ended a run of five straight away defeats in the Premier League. They last won consecutive away games in August, while they last did so while keeping a clean sheet each time in January 2023.
Arsenal haven’t lost any of their last 44 games in all competitions in which they’ve scored a goal (W36 D8) since a 2-1 defeat against Fulham in December 2023.
Aston Villa are averaging 1.5 goals-per-game in the Premier League this season (31 in 21 games), down from exactly two per game last term (76 in 38). However, the Villans have improved defensively in this regard, shipping 1.5 goals per game this season (32 in 21) compared to 1.6 last term (61 in 38).
Since his first start following his return from injury against Chelsea in November, Martin Ødegaard has created 42 chances in all competitions, almost twice as many as any other Arsenal player (Declan Rice, 23). 14 of these have come in his last two games alone (10 vs Man Utd, 4 vs Tottenham).
Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins has been involved in 98 goals (68 goals, 30 assists) in 167 Premier League games, with only Gabriel Agbonlahor reaching triple figures for the club in the competition (108). Meanwhile, Watkins has only netted more top-flight goals against Brighton (7) than against Arsenal (5), with three of his five against the Gunners coming at the Emirates Stadium.
