Everyone wants to talk about Arsenal needing a #9, but when you're creating so little a #9 will only improve you so much. Arsenal let 4 attacking players go over the summer and haven't replaced them. A world-class #9 can sometimes get you a goal out of nothing, but creativity is by far the bigger issue here, if you ask me.

Arsenal 0-0 Everton
Everton win a corner off Gabriel that they will take an age over.
Diogo Jota (85 mins)
Image source, ReutersThe 10 men are level again!
On his return to action, Diogo Jota brilliantly slots past Bernd Leno from the edge of the box. Textbook stuff from the striker.
Is there a winner to come?
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
They're checking for an Arsenal penalty, Vitalii Mykolenko on Thomas Partey.
NOT GIVEN. The defender won the ball.
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
Four minutes added on.
Liverpool 1-2 Fulham
Diogo Jota is played through but Jorge Cuenca cuts out the danger. He's been brilliant on his full Premier League debut.
Liverpool come forward again.
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
Just attack v defence now. When Everton clear it just comes back. Gabriel Jesus' shot is blocked. They appeal for a penalty for handball but nope. Thomas Partey goes down in the box. Nope.
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
Image source, ReutersArsenal have had so much possession and attacking moves but not many moments where you think surely they're going to score here.

Jota is having words with the referee and asking for a potential penalty.
Elliott gives a little jink and blimey, he is inches away. He has a wand of a left foot.
That is not far away.

As a neutral, Liverpool losing is a gift. The league is framed as being the best in the world but, honestly, from a neutral's point of view the relegation battle is usually more interesting. We need a proper title race that isn't just Liverpool vs City for once.
Tom
I said last week that the league is anything but done and dusted, so we need to stop giving air time to people who promote that narrative. It's a long season still, with plenty left to play for. It's a marathon, not a sprint!

Wolves 1-1 Ipswich
Matheus Cunha has his head in his hands as he breaks forward on the left but his strike is right at Arijanet Muric.
Liverpool 1-2 Fulham
Liverpool push forward again as the ball bounces around the box. There's a shout for handball but Harvey Elliott picks up the loose ball and looks to whip it toward the top corner but it's just wide.
Wolves 1-1 Ipswich
Wolves are so close to taking the lead! It's a great ball into the box from Goncalo Guedes but Jorgen Strand Larsen fires his effort over the top.
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
A rare Everton attack and Vitalii Mykolenko's volley hits William Saliba and looks like it's going behind for a corner but David Raya does well to slide over and keep it in.
Now back to Arsenal pressure.
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
Arsenal cause Everton a scare from a corner but nobody can get a clear shot in.
Liverpool 1-2 Fulham
Glenn Murray

Image source, PA MediaFulham have got in down Liverpool's right-hand side so many times. It's a wonderful finish from Muniz because the cross is actually behind him.
It's a huge goal at Anfield because everyone thought Liverpool was going to use this momentum and get back in front but Fulham have countered.

This Arsenal team is crying out for an old-fashioned centre forward to head some goals.
Olly
Arsenal need a goal to eat up the gap now. Days like today are when champions get over the line.

Liverpool 1-2 Fulham
Chris Sutton
Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Image source, Getty ImagesThere is that combination on the left-hand side, Iwobi and Robinson.
They have caused problems all afternoon. It is a great finish from Muniz.
Robinson just steams forward, the Iwobi pass is perfect and it's slightly scruffy but Muniz showed great innovation.
Arsenal 0-0 Everton
Leanadro Trossard crosses, Bukayo Saka heads it down and Gabriel Jesus' effort is blocked by Jarrad Branthwaite.
Everton have a lot of defending left to do - but they have done exceptionally well with all their defending so far.
Liverpool 1-2 Fulham
Arne Slot looks to his bench again as Harvey Elliott and Diogo Jota come on for Dominik Szoboszlai and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The definition of going for it.

Nottingham Forest have won just one of their last 11 Premier League games against Aston Villa (D5 L5), though it was a 2-0 victory in this exact fixture last season.
Aston Villa are winless in their last five Premier League away games against Nottingham Forest, though four of these have ended level (L1). Their last such victory was in January 1995 under Brian Little (2-1).
This will be Nottingham Forest’s 5,000th match in the top four tiers of English football, the 12th side to reach that milestone in English Football League history.
Nottingham Forest have won three of their last four home games in the Premier League (L1), as many as their previous 17 beforehand (W3 D4 L10). They have also kept three clean sheets in those last four, as many as they had in their previous 30 at the City Ground in the competition.
Aston Villa have lost each of their last three away league games, their longest such run since losing four in a row from May to August 2022. All three defeats in their current spell have been by 2+ goals – the Villans last lost more in succession by such a margin on the road in the league in September 1968 as a second-tier side (5).
Nottingham Forest are 5th in the Premier League but have lost each of their last six Premier League games when they’ve gone into a match in the top five of the division, scoring just twice and conceding 20 goals across these six defeats which range from 1995 to 2024.
Aston Villa won seven of their first 12 Premier League games under Unai Emery against teams starting the day in the top five of the table (D1 L4) but have since lost five of their last seven (W1 D1), including all three this season by an aggregate score of 7-0.
Morgan Gibbs-White both scored and assisted in Nottingham Forest’s 3-2 victory at Old Trafford, the fifth time he’s scored and assisted in a Premier League game for Forest, the joint most of any player along with Ian Woan.
Chris Wood is one of only four players to score 10+ Premier League goals this season – he is the first Nottingham Forest player to score 10 Premier League goals in a season before Christmas, while he’s the first Forest player to do so in a league season since Lewis Grabban in the Championship in 2021-22.
Jhon Durán – who turns 21 the day before this game – has scored 10 Premier League goals for Aston Villa, netting the winner in four of their seven wins this season. He’s one of three players to score 10 goals for Villa before turning 21, along with Gabriel Agbonlahor (13) and Luke Moore (11).
