    Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Palace are ahead but it's Burnley who have been on top for the last five minutes or so.

    The players wave their arms to get the crowd to generate some more noise.

    Alan Smith
    Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports

    This is a statement of intent from Brentford. They're putting some of the big guns on.

    If it was two or three for Arsenal then I don't think Keith Andrews makes these changes but because it's only one it shows he might think they can get something from this.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 20:52 GMT 3 December 2025

    In-form Igor Thiago is one of those who have come on for Brentford in place of Kevin Schade. Mikkel Damsgaard and Jordan Henderson have also joined the action. Vitaly Janelt and captain Mathias Jensen have made way.

    Sunderland's approach has been really positive, helped by a ponderous Liverpool. The Black Cats are confident and posing a real threat. Anfield is very subdued.

    Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Jacob Bruun Larsen whips in a decent ball and Lyle Foster tries to hit it on the volley. It's an awkward one and a decent effort but it's blocked by a Palace defender.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:50 GMT 3 December 2025

    Leeds 1-0 Chelsea

    Anton Stach does a very obvious yellow card foul and then looks shocked at being booked. Marc Cucurella had already played the ball when the Leeds midfielder chopped him down.

    Dion Dublin
    Former Aston Villa and Man Utd striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The fans are getting restless now. They are not seeing their side be proactive at all. The keeper there just took his eye off the ball and that could easily have dropped under the bar and in. They got lucky there Liverpool.

    Brentford have looked to try a bit more ambition and have tried to get players forward.

    Arsenal 1-0 Brentford

    Arsenal are just about doing enough. Nothing more. The free-flowing attacks from the first half are a distant memory. And now Brentford are preparing a triple change.

    Reality check for those who thought we (Chelsea) have progressed from last season. Around this time last year we were top of the league then ended up scraping into top four on the last day. Why is it we only turn up for the big games?

    Liverpool 0-0 Sunderland

    Another Sunderland chance as Trai Hume's drive from almost 25 yards out is tipped onto the bar by Alisson. The Reds gave Hume too much space there.

    Couple of Sunderland chances. Noah Sadiki's power volley is blocked and then Omar Alderete's very ambitious bicycle kick is saved.

    Good save by Martin Dubravka. Daniel Munoz cuts it back for Jean-Philippe Mateta but his first-time shot from close range is saved well by the Burnley keeper.

    Nizaar Kinsella

    Leeds striker Lukas Nmecha is down injured and it is giving Chelsea manager Maresca time to be on the pitch giving tactics to Marc Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

    Meanwhile, Nmecha looks OK.

    Gary Neville
    Former Manchester United defender on Sky Sports

    It was never going to happen, Leeds continuing at the frantic pace they started the game at.

    Now Chelsea have got a bit more of a grip on the game, Leeds need to be patient, focus on staying compact and making it difficult - then they can go on the counter attack and at moments around set-pieces.

    Alan Smith

    Mikel Arteta will be concerned about how Arsenal have started this second half. They're allowing Brentford to have a go.

    Conor Coady
    Wrexham defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Salah is not playing his best football at the minute but at what point does he get back in? Because at some point he has to get back in, doesn't he?

    Being in the dressing room and having those big characters, the manager has got to try and keep him on board somehow. Slot has to somehow find a way to keep his best player happy.

    To be honest, Arsenal haven't got going this half. A couple of sloppy passes and now Brentford's players are snapping at their heels.
