Brentford 0-0 Ipswich
Brentford dominating possession in the early stages. Bryan Mbeumo had an early opportunity but couldn't get it on target.
That's two weeks in a row that the Bees have not scored a goal in the first few minutes. How disappointing.

Big miss by Tommy Doyle!
Matheus Cunha shrugs off a defender and picks out Doyle in loads of space inside the box, but the midfielder's shot is way, way over the bar.
Man City 1-0 Southampton

As a defender you are favourite for that ball if you shape yourself well but Jan Bednarek allows Haaland to get ahead of him. Erling Haaland paws him off and shapes himself really well in the air , it is like a pincer movement, and he finishes high into the roof of the net.

2 Weeks in a row now that Brentford haven't scored in the first 2 mins, Frank out!

Man City 1-0 Southampton

Ex-Premier League striker on Final Score
I've got to say it is a brilliant finish from Erling Haaland. He gets across Jan Bednarek in the six yard box and is too strong for the defender. It is weak defending from the Southampton man.
Man City 1-0 Southampton

Russell Martin keeps coming out and saying he has a good relationship with the board but as we know, it is a business.
It's not good for business if Southampton go down.

Aston Villa are playing some good stuff in these early stages and Ollie Watkins flicks the ball to Morgan Rogers inside the box, but his first-time effort is over.
Brighton 0-0 Wolves
Good early pressure from Brighton here as a cross glances off the head of Danny Welbeck, who was passed fit for this one despite going off injured in his previous outing.
Erling Haaland (5 mins)
Lovely ball in from the left-hand side from Matheus Nunes and Erling Haaland is wrestling for the ball with the Southampton defender but he sticks his toe out while falling over and it lands in the roof of the net.
That's his 11th Premier League goal this season. Unstoppable.

Ruben Dias has acres of space 20-yards out but his low shot is straight at goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The Saints have conceded 18 goals so far this season so why not have a go.
Brighton 0-0 Wolves
Igor Julio didn't expect to be starting this game until about 20 minutes ago and has to get up to speed quickly. He's had a couple of touches of the ball in these early stages.
Brentford 0-0 Ipswich
Martin Keown
Former England defender on Final Score
Ipswich need that first win to really start to feel that they belong in the Premier League. When they get that the players will feel it and they should kick on from there.

A first league start this season for Matheus Nunes after he impressed in the Champions League in midweek.
Manchester City's bench is looking uncharacteristically empty so they'll need him to perform well today.
Aston Villa 0-0 Bournemouth
Aston Villa have not lost in any competition since 24 August and they have started confidently here as they bid for a third successive win.

The thing about City is is that they know Arsenal and Liverpool will eventually drop points so they’re covered if they drop the odd point.

Semenyo is the star player in that top end of the pitch for Bournemouth.
He is the one they will look to, to create and make things happen.
Away we go in our 3pm kick-offs.

Presumably those blokes (14:52) think Brighton have a gull-den chance of getting into the top 4 today

Bournemouth's performances deserved more points than they have earned this season. Villa will have to be totally at it today because Bournemouth will punish them today if not.
Man City v Southampton (15:00 BST)
Chris Sutton
Ex-Premier League striker on Final Score
I had Southampton down at the start of the season and nothing has changed. Russell Martin did well to get them up last season but the games against Ipswich and Leicester where they led at home and drew and led at home and lost, they are so damaging. I just worry about their confidence levels dropping points against teams in and around them.

Everton were unbeaten in their first 27 home league games against Fulham between 1949 and 2018 (W23 D4), winning each of the last 22 of those. Since then, they’ve lost their last three at home to the Cottagers.
Fulham are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games against Everton (W3 D2), keeping four clean sheets in the process. All three of those wins in that run have come at Goodison Park.
Since losing their first four Premier League matches this season, Everton are unbeaten in four games (W2 D2). Only once have the Toffees gone five unbeaten under Sean Dyche, doing so in April and May this year.
Fulham have scored the first goal in each of their last five Premier League games (W2 D1 L2), although they’ve lost the last two. Only six teams have lost three in a row after scoring first, most recently Sheffield United in April and May last season.
Everton have kept six clean sheets in their last seven Premier League games in October (W4 D2 L1), including both games this season. Since the 2022-23 season, the Toffees have averaged 0.75 points per game in August and September (P20 W3 D6 L11) compared to 1.55 points per game in October (W5 D2 L4).
Since Sean Dyche’s first Premier League games in charge of Everton, only Arsenal (33) have scored more goals via set pieces (excl. pens) than the Toffees (27).
Fulham manager Marco Silva has won each of his last two away Premier League games against Everton, whom he managed 53 times between August 2018 and December 2019. In Premier League history, the only manager to win away at his former club more than twice in a row was Harry Redknapp at West Ham between 2006 and 2009 (five in a row).
Everton have made just 22 substitutions in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other side. Since the 2014-15 season, among managers to take charge of 50+ games, Sean Dyche has made the fewest subs per game of any manager (2.4).
Dwight McNeil has been involved in six goals in his last six Premier League appearances (3 goals, 3 assists) for Everton. He’s only the third Toffees player with three goals and three assists in the opening eight games of a season, after Francis Jeffers in 1999-00 and James Rodriguez in 2020-21.
Raúl Jiménez has scored or assisted in each of his last five Premier League appearances for Fulham (4 goals, 1 assist). No Cottagers player has done so in six games in a row, while only three players have scored or assisted in six in a row aged 33 or older: Gus Poyet aged 34 in 2001, Dennis Bergkamp aged 35 in 2004 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic aged 35 in 2017.
