Man City 0-0 Everton

Football news reporter at Etihad Stadium
Everton striker Beto is 6ft 4in, but if he was 6ft 5in instead, he'd have scored that.
He is furious with himself that he couldn't convert that opportunity.
Man City 0-0 Everton

When you get the ball in there between the keeper and the centre backs, as a centre forward you'd wake up during the night thinking about that one. Take a chance and get in there.

Glenn Murray
Former Crystal Palace and Brighton striker on Final Score
Obviously results have not been very good. When you appoint such a contrasting manager from your last manager it is going to take time.
I'm really surprised that they have sacked him such a short space of time. You know Ange Postecoglou needs time - I'm interested to see where they go with their next appointment.
Man City 0-0 Everton
How on earth has that not resulted in a goal for Everton?!
Iliman Ndiaye drives down the right-hand side and squares the ball across for Beto, who is all on his own with an almost open goal in front of him.
But the forward can't make contact with the ball for a simple tap in from five yards out.
Any kind of contact there was a certain goal for the visitors. Let off for Manchester City.
Burnley 0-0 Leeds
Now then, if that overhead kick lands in the top corner from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, we're wrapping the goal of the season competition up now.
Unfortunately for the Leeds striker, he shins it and it drops in the crowd.
Sunderland 0-0 Wolves
Sunderland are using the long-throw as a missile to fire into the Wolves box. The visitors, who are yet to keep a top-flight clean sheet this season, are dealing with it for now.
Brighton 0-0 Newcastle
You can clearly see why Carlos Baleba is a wanted man.
He drives through the Newcastle midfield before unleashing one but it takes a deflection and drifts behind for a corner.
Burnley 0-0 Leeds
Feels like Leeds have more players on the pitch than Burnley, they're all over them!
They just can't seem to create an opening just yet as Burnley stand their ground.

Nico O'Reilly fancies his chances from 22-yards out but can't get his effort on target.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth
Luke Chambers
Former Nottingham Forest defender on 5 Sports Extra
An incredible start. It has been Bournemouth all along, they have just been in Palace's half. Kroupi isn't going to turn that one down. What a reward for him.
Man City 0-0 Everton
Manchester City win a corner but Phil Foden's delivery results in a counter attack by the visitors.
Matheus Nunes does his defensive duties to prevent the break becoming dangerous.
Sunderland 0-0 Wolves
Wilson Isidor has the ball in the back of the Wolves net after a tremendous finish from an angle. It won't count because of an offside flag.

Yankuba Minteh looks a huge threat already down that right-hand side against his former side.
Who remembers when he scored in the same game last season and looked gutted about it?!
Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth
Ellen White
Former England striker on Final Score
A great start for Bournemouth. At the back post and a lovely little header from Eli Kroupi.
Sunderland 0-0 Wolves
'Come on Wanderers, Come on Wanderers' comes the cry from the travelling Wolves fans at the Stadium of Light. They've started in confident fashion and now the game has been stopped after a challenge on Dan Ballard.
FT: Nottingham Forest 0-3 Chelsea
Micah Richards
Former Man City defender to BBC Sport
It was inevitable but I don't think it's right. He was only given eight games and a contrast of styles was always going to be a factor.
Forest went from one of the best counter-attacking managers to one who wanted to be more expansive - it was never going to work straight away.
Ange Postecoglou is a good manager but it's possible his media outbursts haven't helped. It looked like he could have been the right fit but more time was needed.
The interesting thing now is - will the next manager be short term or long term? What are Forest trying to be - was last season a one-off?
I know Tottenham finished fifth in Ange's first season but if you're going off Ange's record last season, he should never have been appointed by Forest. Maybe they needed to aim higher in terms of what they were doing and go for a manager with a style they really wanted.
If you do go for Ange, how can he change their style of play in such a short space of time?
Now the club could be in panic mode just to stay in the league. If Sean Dyche does turn out to be who they go for, he's always said he'd love an array of talent to work with - and he's got that at Forest.
Eli Kroupi (7 mins)
A brilliant start for Bournemouth!
Eli Kroupi is unmarked at the back post and nods in a lovely header.
That puts the Cherries top of the table as things stand.

First chance and it's... wide.
Bruno Guimaraes takes the ball on the bounce in the box. He takes a step to set himself before side-footing inches past the post.
Man City 0-0 Everton

There is a real confidence about the Everton team. The manager has asked them to go out and have a bit of a go at this game.

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.
