Crisis what Crisis at Newcastle!! Sitting 1 point off Man City on Christmas day wasn't something anyone thought was possible!!

Ipswich 0-3 Newcastle
Bit better from Ipswich at the start of this half as momentarily Ali Al-Hamadi gets in behind but the Newcastle defence recovers quickly and the substitute's shot on the edge of the box is blocked.

As a Burnley fan I feel for Ipswich fans. Muric is a liability and is going to single handedly relegate two teams in two years
Gus
Anthony Elanga
It's no less than the visitors deserve.
Keane Lewis-Potter takes a heavy touch and Anthony Elanga is on him like a flash before cutting inside and sending a low, left-footed drive into the far corner for his second league goal of the campaign.

Love the club, love the squad we have. But it looks like there's no fight left. Silly mistakes galore. In the championship you can usually get away with conceding as many as you let in. That doesn't work in the prem. We need that fight from the early season back.

I know Brighton are good in possession but West Ham are back to 'Moyesball'. Sitting so deep they could be defending Stratford High Road.

Forest are looking to establish a two-goal cushion early in the second half.
Neco Williams is next to try his luck but gets his shot all wrong, firing wide from the left corner of the penalty area.
West Ham 0-0 Brighton
West Ham start the second half by making a change - Jean-Clair Todibo is on for Konstantinos Mavropanos.
Ipswich 0-3 Newcastle
We're back under way at Ipswich.
The hosts have made a change with Ali Al-Hamadi on for Omari Hutchinson.

Ola Aina is the best right back in the Premier League this so far and he is one of the reasons Nottingham Forest are in the top four. He has been absolutely brilliant and consistent.

Brentford 0-1 Nottingham Forest
Back under way at the Gtech Community Stadium and Forest go close within seconds of the restart, Chris Wood blazing a powerful drive from the edge of the area over the crossbar.

BBC Radio 5 Live reporter at GTech Community Stadium
We know how difficult it is to restrict this Brentford team here, but Forest are doing an increasingly good job of it. It took them awhile to settle into this new-look back three, but it looks like a smart tactical move from Nuno.It’s the first time any side has stopped Brentford from scoring here in the first-half this season.
HT: Brentford 0-1 Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo's side have scored the opening goal in 13 of their 17 Premier League matches this season.
Can they inflict a first home defeat of the season on Brentford this afternoon?

This is no shame on Ipswich. They've met Newcastle at the wrong time when the team has clicked. I actually think Ipswich will have enough to stay up. The three near the bottom who have changed managers will go down - I also don't mean Man Utd.
Martin, Derby
HT: Ipswich 0-3 Newcastle
Newcastle United have scored seven goals in the last 15 minutes of the first half, no team has more in the Premier League this season.
In contrast Ipswich Town have conceded eight goals in the last 15 minutes of the first half, the most in the Premier League this season.

Don't write Forest off just yet. We've had a great start to the season so far and Brentford will lose at home at some point.

Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
It has been a tough watch.
They are playing a similar formation, the attacking options have been limited.
It has been a poor first half.
West Ham 0-0 Brighton
Christmas shopping in the driving rain so much more fun than that first half.
Ipswich 0-3 Newcastle
Relief for Ipswich fans as the whistle goes for half-time.
That was a memorable 45 minutes for Newcastle, but a nightmare for Ipswich.

Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on Final Score
That is awful.
Muric shouldn't have played it out because it was never on and the only option for the defender there is to try and get it out to the full-back.
Just don't do stuff like that.

Arsenal are unbeaten in all nine of their Premier League London derby matches in 2024 (W7 D2). The last team to go unbeaten in such matches in a full calendar year were Chelsea in 2005 (W9 D1), while the last time Arsenal did so was in 2004 (W7 D3).
Having lost five of their first eight Premier League games this season (D3), Crystal Palace have now lost just one of their last eight (W3 D4), and are unbeaten in their last five (W2 D3). The Eagles are looking for back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since a run of three in May.
Arsenal kept nine clean sheets in 10 Premier League away games between February and September, but since then have conceded in each of their last six on the road. The Gunners last had a longer run without an away shutout between August and December 2019 (7).
Excluding penalties, Arsenal have scored more set piece goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (9). Meanwhile, 35% of Crystal Palace’s 17 Premier League goals this term have come from set pieces (excluding penalties), with only Everton (57%) netting a higher such share.

Four players have had their first Premier League goal for a club come against Arsenal having previously played for the Gunners in the competition – Kevin Campbell (Nottingham Forest, 1995), Nicolas Anelka (Bolton, 2006), David Bentley (Tottenham, 2008) and Konstantinos Mavropanos (West Ham, 2023).
Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has scored more Premier League goals against Crystal Palace than he has vs any other opponent (5). Three of these have been as a substitute, with no Gunners player scoring more from the bench against a specific opponent in the competition.
