HT: Brentford 0-0 Liverpool
Chris Sutton
Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Liverpool have dominated this first half but haven't turned that dominance into goals.
They've slipped up in the last couple of league games but they'll have to get their shooting boots on in the second half.

Martin Keown
Former England defender on Football Focus
With Graham Potter you wondered what he was going to do and he has put a back three in.
West Ham don't have a striker in the building and the game is quite drab.

It's very much last game of Match of the Day territory.
West Ham 0-0 Crystal Palace
Apart from one great save from West Ham's Lukasz Fabianski to deny Jean-Philippe Mateta, that was one poor half of football.
The hosts with no invention, no creativity and a side absolutely in desperate need to sign a striker in this transfer window.
Very much 0-0. No goals and precious little entertainment.

Also goalless at the break.

Goalless at the break.
Image source, Getty ImagesLeicester 0-0 Fulham
Leicester defender Jannik Vestergaard is booked for a bad tackle.
Brentford 0-0 Liverpool
Brentford defender Sepp van den Berg finds the back of the net - but the whistle had clearly gone for a foul before so nobody thought it was a goal.
West Ham 0-0 Crystal Palace
Palace's Daichi Kamada blazed an effort over the top from range earlier on but this is a better attempt from 25 yards out. It still goes over, but a much better shot than his previous attempt. Still not enough to test or even worry Lukasz Fabianski in the home goal though.
Brentford 0-0 Liverpool
Second Liverpool booking of the first half as Dominik Szoboszlai fouls Vitaly Janelt in midfield.

Image source, Getty ImagesLiverpool cannot keep passing up opportunities like they are. Brilliant work, devastating on the counter.
Mark Flekken does brilliant to narrow the angle but Cody Gakpo's effort is tame and weak.
How many chances are Liverpool going to waste?
Brentford 0-0 Liverpool
Trent Alexander-Arnold picks out Luis DIaz and the Colombian's first-time effort from near the penalty spot is deflected into the hands of Mark Flekken.

Martin Keown

It goes form one end to the pitch to the other.
A poor finish from Cody Gakpo. A fascinating game, both managers with great spirit and they're both so desperate to win this game.
Leicester 0-0 Fulham
Now Bernd Leno rushes off his line well to stop Jamie Vardy getting onto a through ball.
Leicester 0-0 Fulham
Leicester legend Jamie Vardy heads the ball towards goal but it's an easy stop for Bernd Leno.
Image source, Getty ImagesBrentford 0-0 Liverpool
Fantastic ball from Mohamed Salah to find Cody Gakpo in space in the box. Keeper Mark Flekken is rushing out and Gakpo just nudges the ball past him. It rolls towards the line... but no it rolls wide slowly. It was so slow a defender had got back just to make sure it was going out.
West Ham 0-0 Crystal Palace
A rabona cross from Eberechi Eze, a tidy piece of skill that earns Palace a corner with Max Kilman heading the ball behind.
But the set piece comes to nothing.
Brentford 0-0 Liverpool
Chris Sutton
Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
The Brentford midfield is too passive and the Liverpool midfield is dominating that area of the pitch.
Leicester 0-0 Fulham
Fulham waste a four-on-three break here. Emile Smith Rowe doesn't get enough power on the ball to Alex Iwobi. It's half cleared to Antonee Robinson, who lashes a shot just wide.

I don't know what everyone's on about. I'd give anything to be playing like Liverpool are in their 'blip'.

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.
