Chelsea 3-0 West Ham
Gallagher's goal was his seventh in all competitions this season - already his best tally in a Chelsea shirt.He's one shy of the eight he managed on loan at Crystal Palace in 2021-22.

And now Chelsea's Marc Cucurella is booked for a cynical foul to break up a counter.
It's all happening at Stamford Bridge.

How is it not 4-0 Chelsea?
A lovely move ends with the Blues crossing from the right and Conor Gallagher diverting an effort against the bar!
Moments later and Gallagher is attacking again, bursting into the box before going down under pressure.
No penalty, and probably the right call.

There's a lot of talk around West Ham and David Moyes' future, news about the sporting director being not allowed in the dressing room and it is starting to get a bit sour.

It's phenomenal, Watkins has just picked it up out of the sky, got inside past Lewis Dunk but he can't get any further.
Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Finally an opening! Ollie Watkins takes a brilliant touch to flick the ball around Lewis Dunk and free himself up in the area. But he doesn't get a shot off and is eventually tackled.
Noni Madueke (36 mins)
It's three before half-time!
West Ham stand still as a Chelsea corner is curled towards the back post and Thiago Silva rises highest, nodding the ball back across goal for Noni Madueke to deflect a shot in.
It's a too easy for Chelsea.

Danny Welbeck and Joao Pedro have hardly touched the ball, they've been bystanders in this game so far and have not been able to contribute.
Welbeck has been an outstanding player for Brighton, but you have got to find him, you've got to pick him out.
Chelsea 2-0 West Ham
On his 200th Premier League appearance Angelo Ogbonna is booked for pulling Nicolas Jackson's shirt.
Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Brighton are being patient, very patient.
In fact they're not really attacking at all, just holding Aston Villa at arm's length.
Chelsea 2-0 West Ham
Chelsea are hunting a third. Noni Madueke cuts on to his left but his curling effort is easily saved by a diving Alphonse Areola.

Brighton play lovely around the back but going forward, they struggle to break through the line. Mitoma is a huge miss, he is a brilliant ball carrier.

Gutted for Rogers. He's been improving every week and looks every inch a Premier League player. The load put on young players at the moment is ridiculous.
David
Conor Gallagher (30 mins)
A lovely finish!
Chelsea finally make their pressure count, drilling the ball forward and into the box.
Nicolas Jackson's touch ricochets off Kurt Zouma and high into the air, dropping to an unmarked Conor Gallagher who buries his volley into the corner.
The keeper never moved.

No wonder Brighton are struggling for goals. Adingra often doesn't have any end product and most of their passing is done between the defenders and Gilmour. They'll mess up defensively again at some point today.

We've seen flashes from Adingra for Brighton but nothing for Aston Villa. It has been a game lacking in any real chances and probably, any real quality as well.
Chelsea 1-0 West Ham
Chelsea are on the front foot, but they're not really creating much at the moment.
Chelsea 1-0 West Ham
That's 21 Premier League goals for Palmer this season. Four behind Erling Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot.

Aston Villa are forced into an early change. Morgan Rogers is off clutching his leg. Matty Cash runs on.
Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Almost a chance for Brighton's Joel Veltman who gets in behind, but his shot is blocked and then he's flagged for offside anyway.

Liverpool have lost just one of their last 29 home Premier League matches against Tottenham Hotspur (W19 D9), a 2-0 defeat in May 2011.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to complete their first league double over Liverpool since the 2010-11 season, beating two different Reds managers that season (Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish). Their last league double over the Reds beating the same manager twice was in Dalglish’s first spell in 1986-87.
Liverpool (3) v Tottenham (3) has provided six 90th-minute winners in the Premier League, the most of any fixture in the competition’s history. Indeed, both of the last two league meetings between the two sides have been won courtesy of a 90th-minute winner for the home team.
Liverpool have conceded the opening goal in 16 Premier League games this season; not since 2004-05 under Rafael Benítez (20) have they done so more in a single campaign. Indeed, the Reds have conceded the opener in four of their last five matches at Anfield in the competition – as many as their previous 22 beforehand.
This will be Liverpool’s 18th Sunday Premier League game this season, only playing more in a single campaign in 2012-13 (20). They’ve won nine of their 17 so far this term (D6 L2), only winning more in 2013-14 (11/15) and 2018-19 (10/13).
Liverpool have lost their last two home games in all competitions, as many as in their previous 57 combined. They’ve failed to score in both defeats, last losing three in a row without reply at Anfield in March 2021.
Tottenham haven’t lost any of their last six away Premier League games on a Sunday (W2 D4), with their last such defeat coming at Anfield against Liverpool in April 2023. Four of their five such games this term have been draws, but they did win their last such match at Aston Villa in March (4-0).
Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 Premier League matches, including none in their last eight since beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 in March. The Reds last went longer without a shutout within a single season in the league from October to December 2004 (9).
Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp lost his first Premier League meeting with Spurs’ Ange Postecoglou earlier this season. The only manager to win consecutive Premier League games against Klopp is Brendan Rodgers with Leicester in 2021, while the last manager to beat him in his first two top-flight meetings was Louis van Gaal in 2009-10 with Bayern Munich when he was Borussia Dortmund manager.
Tottenham’s Son Heung-min has scored in each of his last four Premier League appearances against Liverpool, putting Spurs 1-0 up in the reverse fixture in September. The only player to score in five consecutive Premier League games against the Reds is Jamie Vardy (between 2016 and 2017)
