FT: Arsenal beat Wolves 2-0
Semenyo levels in Bournemouth draw against Forest
Brighton thrash 10-man Everton
Schar dismissed but Newcastle beat Southampton
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
Wolves are not being particularly adventurous as they stay focused on keeping it tight and compact at the back.
Some neat Arsenal play almost opens them as Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka play a one-two, before the latter's shot is straight at Jose Sa.

Not a great game, this. Only two shots so far - both from Southampton midfielder Will Smallbone. Neither were good shots.
The Republic of Ireland international has yet to score a Premier League goal.
Everton 0-0 Brighton
It's been a decent start at Goodison. Brighton charge forward again as Kaoru Mitoma wriggles beyond James Tarkowski but Michael Keane blocks the forward's shot.

There was a minute's silence for the late Kevin Campbell who we sadly lost over the summer so young.
Everyone at Final Score would like to share our our love for Kevin.

Danilo is stretchered off to a standing ovation. Antoine Semenyo runs over to shake his hand.
That looks like a very nasty leg injury for the Forest midfielder. We wish him all the best.
Forest captain Ryan Yates comes on after a seven-minute stoppage.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
A better chance for Arsenal now through the lively Bukayo Saka. He sweeps a shot on the turn towards the near post but Jose Sa is alert to get down and save.

Newcastle defenders back off Will Smallbone inviting the Saints midfielder to shoot, which he does. But it's not the best effort and it's blocked.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Bournemouth
Mark Scott
BBC Radio 5 Live commentator
Worrying times here. Danilo and Semenyo collided and the referee motioned to the medical team to come out.
Now we have the very sad situation where they have the flags to shield Danilo from view.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Bournemouth

Image source, ReutersDanilo looks to have suffered a nasty injury to his left ankle. He went up for a challenge with Semenyo and landed badly.
Referee Michael Oliver immediately called for the physios and a stretcher was brought on almost instantly. Stewards have now brought on Forest blankets to shield the midfield from view as he receives treatment, underlining the severity of it.
Forest fans are trying to support him by chanting his name.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
Still all Arsenal as Ben White's deflected effort is the game's first shot on target, but it is a comfortable save for Jose Sa.
Everton 0-0 Brighton
Brighton's turn to go forward as Joao Pedro hammers a shot from distance against the post, Jordan Pickford had it covered.
Newcastle 0-0 Southampton
Anthony Gordon wins a corner and he takes it himself - but it's a simple one for Alex McCarthy to catch.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Bournemouth
Play stops as Forest's Danilo and Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo clash in the air.
It appears that Danilo landed very awkwardly on his leg and is receiving treatment. A stretcher has been called for.
Semenyo is back to his feet but rubbing his shoulder.
Everton 0-0 Brighton

Everton fans are on their feet in the ninth minute, paying tribute to former striker Kevin Campbell who recently passed away.
"Super, super Kev..." is the chant from the home supporters.
Newcastle 0-0 Southampton
Southampton have the ball in the back of the net but the offside flag goes up.
Captain Jack Stephens is clearly off when he knocks Will Smallbone's off-target shot into an empty net from close range.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
Alex Howell
BBC football news reporter at the Emirates Stadium
It's a battle between two of the most animated managers in their technical areas today.
Mikel Arteta and Gary O'Neil are very passionate in the way they get their messages across to their teams.
Wolves are currently trying to play out of the back which O'Neil is encouraging and Arteta is trying to get Arsenal to lift the tempo in the way they move the ball.

Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
You can see what Arsenal are trying to do immediately. Wolves are looking to play out from the back and the home side are going to let them to a certain point, then the trigger of Havertz or Odegaard will start a high press. Then they press aggressively as a team.
Newcastle 0-0 Southampton
Newcastle defender Lewis Hall is shown the first yellow card of the game for fouling Yukinari Sugawara on the wing.

Wenger was at Arsenal for quite literally years, post-04, before he won anything. Arteta will be given time, especially if Pep heads towards the exit door come May 25. That one loss against Villa cost them the league. Tight margins at the summit!

Everton 0-0 Brighton
HOW HAVE EVERTON NOT SCORED?!
Abdoulaye Doucoure beats the offside trap and it's three against the keeper. Doucoure squares it to Dwight McNeil but the forward cannons his effort against the post.
Big moment already. Was easier to score.

West Ham have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League games against Aston Villa (W6 D5), a 4-1 loss at Villa Park last season.
Aston Villa are winless in their last nine Premier League away games against West Ham (D5 L4), since a 2-1 victory at Upton Park in April 2011.
West Ham have lost on five of the six occasions they’ve begun a Premier League campaign against a side who finished in the previous season’s top four. The only exception was a 2-0 away win at Arsenal in 2015-16.
West Ham have won their opening Premier League match in just one of the last eight seasons (D1 L6), beating Newcastle 4-2 in 2021-22. Indeed, the Hammers have lost their opening game in the Premier League more often than any other side (15).
Aston Villa have lost their opening Premier League match in each of the last three seasons, conceding 10 goals in these games. They also lost the last time they faced West Ham in their first game, going down 1-0 at Upton Park in 2012-13.
West Ham have conceded at least once in each of their last 18 Premier League games – only once have they had a longer run without a clean sheet in the competition, going 24 games between March and November 2008.
Aston Villa failed to win any of their last four Premier League games in 2023-24 (D2 L2), their longest run without a win under Unai Emery. Indeed, the Spaniard last had a longer run without a league win between May and September 2021 with Villarreal (D4 L1).
This will be Julen Lopetegui’s first game in charge of West Ham. He won his first Premier League game in charge of Wolves (2-1 v Everton), while his last victory in the competition was a home game against Aston Villa (1-0 in May 2023).
West Ham’s new signing Crysencio Summerville was involved in 28 Championship goals last season for Leeds United (19 goals, 9 assists excluding play-offs). Only Southampton’s Adam Armstrong (34) and Blackburn’s Sammie Szmodics (31) were involved in more.
Ollie Watkins is Aston Villa’s highest ever Premier League goalscorer in games played in London, with 13 goals in the capital so far. He has 59 overall in the competition, behind only Gabriel Abgonlahor (74) and Dwight Yorke (60) for the Villans.
