    Leeds 1-0 Chelsea

    Since joining the club, Chelsea have won just 29% of their Premier League matches when Moises Caicedo hasn’t been in the starting XI (2/7), compared to 52% when he has been a starter for them (43/82).

    He's suspended today.

    Leeds manager Daniel Farke may be under pressure but a cleverly worked set-piece goal has delivered Jaka Bijol's opener and his first for the club.

    The German boss has also switched to a back five again to devastating effect after it dramatically improved their fortunes against Manchester City.

    At half-time while 2-0 down at City, manager Daniel Farke switched to this formation and got back to 2-2, but Phil Foden won the match in the dying minutes.

    Historically, Chelsea have struggled against this formation but Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca did say he predicted Leeds would play like this.

    There's two fundamentals in a set piece, a good delivery, and then the ability to get away from your player. The movement from Bijol is unbelievable to get away from Delap. He shifts his body and gets half a yard and Delap ends up no way near him.

    Not much to talk about yet in this game. Sunderland are doing their share of attacking.

    Ollie Watkins

    What a finish, Ollie Watkins!

    The Villa forward is surrounded by three Brighton shirts as he drives towards the home penalty area.

    Watkins keeps his cool to slot home and Villa have come from 2-0 behind to draw level.

    It is freezing at Anfield but the atmosphere in the Sunderland section is warming up. They are making some great noise and why not? They have been a superb addition to the Premier League this season and The Black Cats travel to Anfield with real optimism.

    It's been coming...

    Leeds have had a good few early chances and they take this one. Anton Stach swings in a cross and Jaka Bijol outjumps Liam Delap to power a header in. Robert Sanchez gets a touch but can't keep it out.

    Neither side have had a shot on target in this match, whilst Wolves have just one touch in Nottingham Forest's penalty area.

    Thrilling stuff.

    Not sure many would have guessed a shot count of 4-0 after five minutes here. To Leeds. Anton Stach's effort is deflected wide for a corner.

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin shoots off target now. Bright start from the hosts.

    Leeds 0-0 Chelsea

    This is just the fifth time that Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has not used a back four in a Premier League starting XI (D2 L2 previously), and the first time since a 7-0 defeat to Chelsea while in charge of Norwich in October 2021.

    Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Burnley haven't won a game when they've conceded the first goal this season. Without a win in four league games, they've got it all to do after the break.

    Leeds have a couple of chances following a long throw. First an Anton Stach shot blocked and then Ao Tanaka shoots wide from Dominic Calvert-Lewin's cutback.

    That's an unbelievable finish from Munoz. I thought he actually headed it with the back of his head but he's managed to get himself in a position to direct it into the far corner.

    It's such a clever finish as well. If he puts it towards for the near post the keeper saves it, and to be able to adjust and do it on the run is so impressive.

    Liverpool actually have a better record when Mohamed Salah doesn't start in a surprising stat.

    Arsenal have played some really good football in this first half and will feel they should have more than one goal.

    Daniel Munoz (44 mins)

    Finally the breakthrough Crystal Palace have been waiting for.

    A lovely floated ball from Marc Guehi to the back post and Daniel Munoz, off balance, nods in.

    It looks like he hurt is arm in the process as he crashed into the post, but he won't mind. Palace have the advantage just before the break.
