Brentford v Ipswich (15:00 BST)
James McFadden
Former Scotland forward on BBC Radio 5 Live
He will go eventually, I think.
He doesn't really get the credit of others when these big jobs come up and names get mentioned.
But it depends if there is something there that is worth leaving what he is doing at Brentford. I don't think he is in a rush to leave so it would have to be something really special.

Brentford fans will be pleased to hear that Thomas Frank is "happy" at their club and managing a bigger club "probably would not make my life any better".
It comes after Frank emerged in reports as a leading candidate for the Manchester United job.
But Frank said he's not thinking about leaving the Bees.
Speaking on the Sports Agents podcast,, external Frank said: "I am probably at one of the best clubs in the world. End of discussion.
"In terms of alignment, leadership, culture, everything. Why should I ever leave this place?
"Things can happen and you can want new inspiration, maybe you find another inspiration at your club and you stay.
"For sure, if I ever got the offer to go to a big club and I decided to go there, it would probably not make my life better. I think we all know that.
"Maybe it is a challenge you need to try. It is not something I am thinking about."

Ex-Premier League striker on Football Focus
Fabian Hurzeler is not a stickler for things, he knows that he has to change at times and he looks to find those details and the balance in his side. The victory at Newcastle last week, the way that they played and the possession they gave up, it was a rearguard action that game which is not their normal style.
Brighton v Wolves (15:00 BST)
More from Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler speaking to Football Focus on changes since that defeat at Chelsea: "That you can't defend with such a high line! We got a lot of criticism for that performance but at the end I am the person that criticises myself the most. Not only when we lose but when we draw or win too, it is important to reflect. We know not everything is going to be perfect."
On adapting as the season goes on: "It is so important to adapt, not the style of play because those basic things will always stay the same because if that changes you cannot convince the players to do it.
"We have a clear style and principles but in the end there are small details that you have to do during the season because the league is so challenging."
Brighton v Wolves (15:00 BST)
Rachel Corsie
Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Live
I think for Wolves the results have not matched the performances.
I think Ait Nouri is very good on that left in terms of creativity and making things happen. Of course, results are what matters though and they need to start coming for Wolves.

Image source, Getty ImagesAs a player, it is tough when you have not won in weeks and you know that everyone you are playing fancies their chances against you.
Teams will take it to you because they want to make you feel uncomfortable and, historically, teams near the bottom of a league do not have good away records, so that can then create anxiety for home fixtures because there is more pressure on them.
It does not matter how that first win comes but it is so important. But then immediately you will be looking at the fixtures and thinking when will the second come?
Everyone is objectively aware of how good the top four teams are, but some other teams are tough too. Those mid-table teams are often more robust.
Realistically, to survive you need between eight and 11 wins a season, but if you do not believe you can achieve that then that is another issue.
Players need to be able to handle any scenario you are given in the Premier League, but unfortunately for a lot of these teams near the bottom, they are so new to it so they can't lean on previous experiences. Lessons need to be learned quickly and then applied so that results start picking up.
But fans also need to look at performances as well as results.
Supporters might be looking at other managers as an option, but the grass isn't always greener - and then what if it makes no difference?
It is OK having positive performances but not getting anything out of the game - because at least you know you are along the right rack. It is when the performances aren't good that you can start to be concerned.
But having said that, no team should be in real panic mode right now.
Brighton v Wolves (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesWolves desperately need a win.
They have won just one of their past 18 Premier League games although they pushed defending champions Manchester City hard before losing 2-1 at Molineux last weekend.
"The group take a lot of heart from that against the best team around," says boss Gary O'Neil. "To push them as we did, we need to make sure we take that forward now.
"Today we need to show the same sort of grit, determination and fight. The lads know what they're about to go into. They're ready to stand up and fight. We're ready to go."
Aston Villa v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)
Amadou Onana speaking ahead of today's match: "We have been doing very well. Especially at home. The confidence is building, the manager is giving us plenty to go out there. It's been amazing."
On Villa going for the title: "Why not? You should dream big to make this happen. The sky is the limit to make it happen with this team.
"They score a lot of goals and we know they have what it takes to come out and put on a show so we are ready to face it."

Alan Shearer
Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Everything looks as though it is in Emery's hands and for a manager who has been successful like he has, he will want have done it on the proviso that he has control and is empowered to do what he wants with the club.
Aston Villa v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesCaptain John McGinn says he has never met anyone else like manager Unai Emery and the Spaniard's place among the legendary figures in Aston Villa's history is already assured.
Villa's impressive start to the season continued with a 2-0 victory over Bologna as they went top of the Champions League table.
Emery, who celebrates two years in charge at Villa Park on Thursday, has also guided the side to fourth in this season's Premier League, four points behind leaders Liverpool.
The 52-year-old has yet to win a trophy with the club but McGinn believes his place in Villa history is safe.
"No matter what happens until now and whenever he leaves - we hope it's never - he will certainly go down as one of our club's greatest managers," McGinn said.
"You feed off your leader. He is our leader and we feed off that. No-one can question what he puts in, the effort - and everything which comes his way and our way is on the back of hard work.
"He is just so driven. I have never met anyone like him."
Brighton v Wolves (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesLewis Dunk is the heart and soul of Brighton and it's a landmark day for the captain. He is making his 250th Premier League appearance in this match.
All have been starts, with only five other outfield players starting each of their first 250 games in the competition: Gary McAllister (1992-99), Des Walker (1992-2000), Gary Pallister (1992-2000), Gareth Southgate (1992-2000) and Paul Ince (1992-2001).

Chris Sutton
Ex-Premier League striker on Football Focus
If I am a Brighton fan I am really liking what I am seeing. It is horses for courses, they play in the manner that suits each game, good variation and that is a massive positive. The fact that Fabian Hurzeler admits that he is learning on the job is admirable.
Image source, Getty ImagesBrighton v Wolves (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesBrighton boss Fabian Hurzeler speaking to Football Focus: "It is a really enjoyable life here. We are settled quite well here not just in the football club but the city too, the people are very open minded so I can identify myself with the values of the city and the club."
On what he looks for in a player: "We look for the numbers [transfer fee], when they are fine then Tony Bloom gives the go ahead then we look beyond. We look at the character of the player; it is always important to see the person behind the player, to know the needs and wishes of the player, to see the profile of their best position and where we can get their full potential within the team.
"We try to talk together and work to discover this. We try to give them feedback and talk to them, get their opinion and find that commitment on the pitch."
On the biggest surprise about the Premier League: "To work for the momentum, keep the momentum and be able to use it. When you get in the right moment and score it is so difficult for the opponent to turn a game around, so you work hard to get that momentum and use it.
"If you don't use the momentum when you have it then the opponent will use it because every team has such high quality."
Man City v Southampton (15:00 BST)
Nedum Onuoha
Former Manchester City defender
Image source, Getty ImagesIt is very easy for us to say what teams down the bottom of the table should be doing, but it is the manager who knows the players well enough to decide on what the best course of action is.
Their plan might not work at times, but if Southampton were to change their style, would they be five positions higher? Probably not.
It is about trying to maximise the squad they have and Russell Martin does not see himself to be doing the wrong things. He is just probably hoping his players can start to absorb learnings from the games to move forward with as experience.
The tough part for them is that you cannot live from the highs of games when you are not winning any. But once they do get that first much-needed win they might start managing games better.
Martin knows his team can compete because he knows his squad, but the hardest thing in the Premier League is trying to get points on the board. That is what they are struggling with.
Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers all remain winless after eight Premier League games - so how can they kickstart their season?
Former Leeds, Everton and Leicester striker Jermaine Beckford tells The Football News Show that back-to-basics, low-risk football is their best bet.

Man City v Southampton (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesGoalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale says Southampton are improving and the narrative of boss Russell Martin "being stuck in his ways is nonsense".
Saints, who have just one point from eight games, continue to hunt for their first win of the season.
"I can definitely see changes in training," Ramsdale told BBC Radio Solent. "We are gelling more and you can see the relationships are starting to build.
"But trying to get games over the line and being rough in areas is easier said than done. We don't want to be a team that is going to grind it out for 95 minutes. There will be stages of games where we have to be resolute and stay together but we want to take the game to the opposition.
"It is not all about being pretty. Yes, we want to play pretty football, but ultimately it is about winning games.
"If anyone was to come here to this training ground and see what we do day to day, then they would have a completely different perception of him [Martin].
"A lot of the talk about playing out from the back and him being stuck in his ways is nonsense. That narrative can stop.
"It is down to us and Martin can't hold our hands to define moments. I absolutely love him. He is perfect for what I need."
Aston Villa v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery: "We are demanding. We want to keep the same performances we are getting. Try to get the level we have, improving always. The Premier League is the most important for us and we are playing against Bournemouth, who are very competitive. Villa Park is our fortress.
"We want to play with the same energy and try to impose our skills and be clinical in the high level, if we want to win.
"We have more players available and we try to use the players intelligently. We need all the players. The idea is to keep the same level and preparation for every team. Today is a new challenge for us and our supporters. We have an opportunity to keep the same position and to do that is to win.
"Last year, two years ago, always Bournemouth they are competitive. They have more or less a style that they keep it for a long time. They deserve more points and now they are in a good moment and we have to try to get our strong structure at home and feel strong. We have to play with all our energy."
Image source, Getty ImagesAston Villa v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesAston Villa centre-back Pau Torres says the squad feel "confident" they can "win in any stadium" this season, after starting the campaign in fine form in all competitions.
Unai Emery's side are fourth in the Premier League, having won five of their first eight games, with only one defeat. They are also unbeaten in the Champions League, sitting top of the table after seeing off Young Boys, Bayern Munich and Bologna.
"The team is working really well and always focused on each game," Torres told VillaTV,, external "It is difficult to stay fit and focus in games when you are playing three times a week, but we are doing really good work in our recovery sessions.
"We are confident we can win in any stadium and we feel comfortable at home. We are going to keep this goal in the future and hopefully it comes with the same results."
Man City v Southampton (15:00 BST)
Simon Stone
BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at the Etihad Stadium
The Premier League team sheet and Manchester City's version are saying different things.
Both have City naming five outfield substitutes but the Premier League - and the club's social media feed - say James McAtee is amongst them.
However, the team sheet I have just been given says Oscar Bobb.
Sadly for the Norwegian, he is not involved. Bobb has been ruled out until next year after fracturing his leg in pre-season.
Image source, BBC SportCrystal Palace's 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest on Monday meant that for the first time in the English top-flight's 126-year history, four clubs have failed to win any of their first eight matches of a league season.
Palace, Ipswich, Southampton and Wolves are all yet to be victorious in the Premier League this campaign.
Ouch. Not a record that will be being put on a plaque in the clubs' museum any time soon.

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.
