Brighton 0-0 Newcastle
Ciaran Kelly
BBC Sport reporter at the Amex
Diego Gomez’s name is sung by Brighton fans as the visibly upset Paraguayan hobbles off with an injury. He tried to play on, but has his hands over his face as he walks down the tunnel after being replaced by Maxim De Cuyper.
Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
Wolves started the day three points from safety. As it stands, the Premier League's bottom club are five points behind 17th-place.
Brighton 0-0 Newcastle
Turns out it's not a false alarm as Diego Gomez is brought off for Maxim De Cuyper.
Looks like Gomez was struggling with a hip injury.
Burnley 1-0 Leeds
It should be 1-1. Daniel Farke cannot believe it.
It's beautifully worked as Dominic Calvert-Lewin slips it left for Brenden Aaronson to hit first time. He does just that but it's straight at Martin Dubravka and hits the post.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth
Glenn Murray
Former Crystal Palace and Brighton striker on Final Score
Palace are having a good spell at the minute, but it's just the final ball that is missing at the moment.
Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, the 27-year-old chairman and majority owner of Sunderland, is all smiles in the directors box. The Swiss-born businessman is younger than many of this Black Cats team!
Brighton 0-0 Newcastle
Needs a spark this game. It's certainly not the worst I've seen, but you'd hope for more with the talent on the pitch.
Man City 0-0 Everton
Pat Nevin
Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live at Etihad Stadium
You've got to get those on target. Yes it's at a bit of an angle but a proper goalscorer hits the target. Thing about Beto is that he is not stopping, he keeps on running.
Man City 0-0 Everton
Shamoon Hafez
Football news reporter at Etihad Stadium
Tijjani Reijnders started the season with a bang by scoring in the 4-0 thrashing of Wolves but hasn't managed to get on the scoresheet for Manchester City since.
His latest effort is blocked in the centre of goal by an Everton defender but he did not catch it properly.
Man City 0-0 Everton
Beto will be relieved to see the offside flag there because he should have done better with that finish.
He drags his low shot wide but had strayed offside anyway.
Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
A rare chance for Wolves after Rodrigo Gomes takes a tumble inside the box after a foul by Dan Ballard. Referee Robert Jones says the challenge was outside the penalty area and the free-kick is fired in before going out for a corner.
Man City 0-0 Everton
Tijjani Reijnders tries to slot in the corner from Jeremy Doku's pass but Michael Keane makes a crucial block to turn behind for a fourth Manchester City corner.
The set piece results in a foul on Idrissa Gueye.
Burnley 1-0 Leeds
Vital clearance from Gabriel Gudmundsson at the back post for Leeds as Jacob Bruun Larsen looked certain to make it 2-0.

At the moment Everton are getting pushed back. They are not being negative but they just can't get on the ball. They need to try to get a foothold and get the ball up the field, get it to the striker to then bring others in. They've just not had the chance because City are playing very well at the moment but
Brighton 0-0 Newcastle
False alarm. Diego Gomez is back up and running.
On we go.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth
Luke Chambers
Former Nottingham Forest defender on 5 Sports Extra
Mateta has to score. The tide has been turning.
Brighton 0-0 Newcastle
Stoppage in play on the south coast as Diego Gomez goes down and looks in a decent bit of pain here.
Not quite sure what's happened but he's receiving treatment.

Everton could get into Europe if they could unearth a good striker …. We have struggled for years though…. We seem to be good at finding and developing defenders but just can’t do it with strikers unfortunately… Lukaku was never replaced
Rudders
Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
Ellen White
Former England striker on Final Score
Huge chance for Trai Hume at the back post. Sunderland are on top here and it is only a matter of moments till there is another goal.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth
It's all Bournemouth at Selhurst Park.
Antoine Semenyo's low shot from just outside the box forces a good diving save from Dean Henderson.
Jean-Philippe Mateta heads wide in a rare opportunity at the other end.

Fulham have only won one of their last 14 Premier League games against Arsenal (D4 L9), a 2-1 victory in December 2023. Indeed, the Cottagers have conceded at least once in each of their last 20 against the Gunners in the competition.
After winning five successive league visits to Fulham from 2012-13 to 2022-23, Arsenal have since failed to win at Craven Cottage in both of the last two campaigns (D1 L1). The Gunners last failed to win more consecutive league visits to Fulham in April 1962 (6).
Arsenal have only lost one of their last 18 London derbies in the Premier League (W13 D4), a 0-1 home defeat to West Ham in February last season. Indeed, since the start of 2022-23, the Gunners have only lost one of their 18 away league matches against fellow London sides (W13 D4), although that was at Fulham in December 2023 (2-1).
Fulham have won both of their last two Premier League home games, last winning three in a row at Craven Cottage in December 2023. The Cottagers are looking to avoid defeat in each of their opening four home matches of a league season for the first time since 2011-12.
Since facing 22 shots against Manchester United on MD1, Arsenal have restricted their opponents to fewer than 10 shots in all six of their Premier League games. The last side to face fewer than 10 shots in more successive matches in the competition were Liverpool from April to August 2022 (9), while the Gunners themselves have never had a longer run on Opta’s records in the league (from 2003-04).
Fulham have lost both of their last two Premier League games, and could lose three in a row for the first time since December 2023. They have shipped three goals in both of those last two defeats, last conceding 3+ more times in a row in the competition in September 2020 (4) – a run that included a 0-3 home defeat to Arsenal.
Arsenal have had 14 counter attacking phases of play in the Premier League this season – the most of any side. Last season, the Gunners ranked 17th for this with just 47 in the whole campaign.
No side has had more different goalscorers (excl. own goals) in the Premier League this season than Arsenal (9, level with Brighton). Only twice before have the Gunners had 10 different players score within their opening eight matches of a Premier League season, doing so in 2009-10 (10 in 4th game) and 2018-19 (8th).
Fulham’s Alex Iwobi has made eight line-breaking passing into the opposition’s penalty area in the Premier League this season, with only Bruno Fernandes (9) making more. Iwobi has also created four chances via line-breaking passes in the division this term, with Fernandes again the only player to do so more (5).
Declan Rice has scored (1) or assisted (1) in both of Arsenal’s last two Premier League games; the midfielder has only had a hand in a goal in three successive appearances in the competition twice before, doing so in February/March 2024 and April/May 2024. Rice has six goal involvements (2 goals, 4 assists) in his last seven away London derbies in the Premier League.
