West Ham 0-0 Fulham
Freddie Potts clips a free-kick to the back post, Max Kilman nods it down but Crysencio Summerville's effort is deflected wide.
West Ham are building momentum and the home supporters are doing their best to help. Encouraging signs for the Hammers.
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
Hugo Ekitike has a drive at goal. His shot is a bit of a daisy cutter but it drifts behind for a corner.

Brentford really need to capitalise hard on their possession and Bournemouth's poor defence. Too often they fail to turn this advantage into points and waste opportunities.
Keith, Brentford
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
It's the woodwork again for Liverpool!
This time it's Alexis Mac Allister who has a go, but Jose Sa tips it brilliantly on to the post.
The flag goes up anyway, so all that for nothing.
Burnley 0-0 Everton
I'll be honest, this hasn't been an edge-of-your-seat-thrill-a-minute kind of a game. Burnley won't care as long as they get the points.
Scott Parker's strugglers are standing toe-to-toe with mid-table Everton but they are lacking cutting edge.
Their latest attempt falls to Armando Broja - the most dangerous player on the pitch - but his header flies over the bar.

An unmarked Ollie Scarles meets Crysencio Summerville's cross at the back post but heads wide.
West Ham had a great opportunity to break about 20 seconds earlier, but Mateus Fernandes and then Lucas Paquetá took a bit too long to pick out their passes and Fulham got bodies back.
Arsenal 1-0 Brighton
Andy Reid
Former Premier League midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
A good passage of play from Arsenal, kept the ball for a long time, lots of rotations and moving Brighton out of position.

A promising Arsenal attack fizzles out as Leandro Trossard fails to pick out a team-mate despite several red and white shirts bursting up the pitch to offer support.
The Gunners come again, though, and Brighton are boxed in for the time being. The home crowd raise their voices, sensing a second is there for them.
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
Florian Wirtz looks the main threat for Liverpool today. He finds Milos Kerkez again high on the left wing as the Reds win a corner.

Midway through the first half. No shots on target.

It’s only a matter of time before Wirtz G/A starts to increase dramatically now he’s getting to grips with what the Premier League is all about.

How easy does Alisson Becker make it look? You are always confident when he is in goal.
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
Chants of "Diogo, Diogo, Diogo" break out from the travelling Wolves fans before the whole of Anfield stands as they sing the Jota song in the 20th minute.

Soungoutou Magassa is taken out by a late challenge from Joachim Andersen, but the Fulham skipper gets away without a booking.

Schade is such a smooth operator.

Burnley 0-0 Everton
Armando Broja picks out Jacob Bruun Larsen about 25 yards out and the Dane takes aim before launching it...into Row Z.
Arsenal 1-0 Brighton
It was certainly a deserved opener for Arsenal, but in the end it was all made very, very simple for them.
Can Brighton offer a response? While the Seagulls continue to enjoy their fair share of possession, they're yet to register an attempt at David Raya's goal.
Arsenal 1-0 Brighton
Martin Keown
Former Arsenal defender on Final Score
The captain, first goal this season. He hasn't scored since the last game of last season, so that's very nice. That one's just gone in. I think he gave the goalkeeper the eyes a little bit.
It's all Arsenal currently.
Liverpool 0-0 Wolves
Jeremie Frimpong shows his blistering pace wide right before finding Hugo Ekitike in the box but the Liverpool striker can't get enough on his flick.
West Ham 0-0 Fulham
Jarrod Bowen is played in on goal by Ollie Scarles but Bernd Leno gets fingertips to his low strike to keep the score level.
The offside flag goes up belatedly, but Leno wasn't to know. Top save.

Chelsea have lost two of their last three Premier League home games against Aston Villa, though they did win this exact fixture 3-0 in December last season.
Aston Villa have won three of their five Premier League games against Chelsea under Unai Emery (D1 L1), as many as in their previous 20 against the Blues before the Spaniards arrival (D3 L14).
Having scored in 21 consecutive Premier League home games against Aston Villa between December 1998 and September 2021 (50 goals in total), Chelsea have now failed to score in two of their last three at Stamford Bridge against the Villans.
Aston Villa have won each of their last 10 matches in all competitions and could equal their all-time club record of 11 consecutive victories, set in both September 1897 and March 1914.
Chelsea have already suffered two home defeats in the Premier League this season (W4 D2 L2), losing to Brighton in September (1-3) and Sunderland in October (1-2). If they lose here, they will have lost more home league matches this term (3) than they did in Enzo Maresca’s first full campaign in 2024-25 (W12 D5 L2).
Chelsea are unbeaten in the three Premier League games they’ve played this season against teams starting the day above them in the table, beating Liverpool 2-1 (October), Tottenham 1-0, and drawing against Arsenal (both in November).
Aston Villa have won their last seven league games, last having a longer run in the top-flight between October and December 1910 (9). The Villans have also won 12 of their 21 Premier League away games against London sides under Unai Emery (D4 L5), more than they had in their previous 59 (W11 D10 L38).
Chelsea’s top scorers in the league this season have netted just five goals (Pedro Neto and João Pedro). After 17 games of a Premier League campaign, only on three occasions has Chelsea’s top scorer(s) netted fewer at this stage – 4 in 2022-23, 3 in 2015-16 and 4 in 1995-96.
Enzo Fernández has created more chances from open play (24) and made more passes breaking the opponent’s defensive line (17) than any other Chelsea player in the Premier League this season.
Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers has been directly involved in more Premier League goals than any other English player across the opening 17 matchdays this season (10 – 7 goals, 3 assists); he could the third Villan to net 2+ goals in three consecutive appearances in the competition after Dean Saunders (1992) and Dion Dublin (1998).
