HT: Arsenal 0-0 Southampton
Chris Wise

Arsenal have been fast and fluent, and had plenty of set-pieces. But Saints have restricted them to largely half chances.

I have got to say I'm looking at it at the start I thought it was going to be a case of how many are City going to score?
Fulham have broke well and they deserve to be level at this point.
HT: West Ham 2-1 Ipswich

West Ham lead, but Julen Lopetegui will want more from his side in the second half.
Ipswich had a spell where they were the better side after an error from Kalvin Phillips had helped West Ham take a first-minute lead, with Michail Antonio sweeping home Jarrod Bowen's low cross.
Liam Delap equalised five minutes late in a frantic start and the visitors could have gone ahead, with Phillips and Jacob Greaves narrowly missing the target.
But Town boss Kieran McKenna will be unhappy with the manner of both goals conceded, with Mohammed Kudus converting from close range just before half time to restore the hosts' advantage and leave Lopetegui 45 minutes away from a much-needed home win.

City and Arsenal can't afford to lose points here... There's a different feeling to Liverpool now Slot has taken over. With Klopp you knew they'd bottle it at the end of the season, but there's a genuine threat there now, and City and Arsenal need to keep up

HT: Brentford 4-2 Wolves
Nizaar Kinsella
BBC Sport football news reporter
A smattering of Wolves supporters headed to the exits to get their half-time pints as Ethan Pinnock headed in a corner just before the interval.
An audible group of remaining supporters booed as they faced down a sixth defeat in seven games, having not won yet this season, unless they somehow produce a dramatic second half comeback.
To their credit, the support has seemed positive and constructive until this point.

Has the whole missing Rodri become almost more psychological hinderance than a physical one? Yes he's probably the best in his position, but his replacements aren't exactly useless. Perhaps City players got so used to him being able to sweep anything up that there now less inclined to try more risky moves?

Groans from the home fans as the half-time whistle goes. It's not been a great performance from them as they try to avoid three consecutive Premier League draws.

Dion Dublin
Former England striker on Final Score
There's a lot of doubt at West Ham at the moment with what they're doing and the new manager.
Mohammed Kudus wanted it more than anyone else.
Man City 1-1 Fulham
Half-time at the Etihad. Mateo Kovacic cancelled out that Andreas Pereira goal but it will be Adama Traore who is most disappointed at the break after missing two big chances.
Ethan Pinnock (45+2 mins)
Image source, PA MediaToo easy!
Brentford whip in a corner and Ethan Pinnock, they're biggest threat in the air, is completely unmarked. The defender easily meets the cross and thumps a header into the far corner.
Seconds earlier, Wolves' Craig Dawson was booked for time-wasting. His team were a goal down.
Arsenal 0-0 Southampton
Desperate defending from Southampton.
Arsenal counter swiftly and Raheem Sterling drives into the box, cutting on to his right, but his curling effort is blocked by a back-pedalling Jan Bednarek.
Moments later Thomas Partey stings the gloves of Aaron Ramsdale, and Sterling pokes the follow-up wide on the slide.

City have worked the ball well wide but no one has got in behind the defence.
Man City 1-1 Fulham
Lovely ball from left to right from Jack Grealish to Bernardo Silva but the Portugal midfielder can't get his header on target.
Can City sneak ahead before half time? Couple of minutes to go.
Mohammed Kudus
Image source, ReutersThat's lifted the home fans!
A delicious cross by Emerson and Michail Antonio's bullet header crashes off the crossbar.
Mohammed Kudus is the first to react leaping to head the rebound.
Will West Ham keep the lead this time?
Arsenal 0-0 Southampton
Tyler Dibling is on a yellow card and then goes down under very little contact.
No free-kick is given and the Arsenal bench is furious. They want the teenager sent off. The referee says waves play on.

Everton have lost just three of their last 20 Premier League home games against Newcastle (W12 D5), though two of those defeats have come across their last four such meetings (W2).
Newcastle have won five of their last eight Premier League meetings with Everton (D1 L2), as many as in their previous 24 against them (D6 L13). However, they failed to win either meeting with the Toffees last term (D1 L1).
After losing their first four Premier League matches this season, Everton have picked up four points in their last two games (W1 D1). The Toffees are looking for consecutive wins for the first time since April.
Newcastle United have won 11 points in their six Premier League games this season (W3 D2 L1), their most at this stage of a top-flight season since 2011-12 (12) and Eddie Howe’s best start to a league season since 2010-11 in League One with Bournemouth (11 points).
Everton have won six of their last eight Premier League matches at Goodison Park (L2). Since the first game in this run on April 6, the Toffees have won more home points than any other Premier League side (18).
Only Aston Villa and Manchester City (7) have picked up more points from losing positions in the Premier League this season than Newcastle (5) – the Magpies have only lost two of their last seven games when conceding first (W2 D3), having lost 11 of their previous 13 games when going 1-0 down.
Since Sean Dyche’s first Premier League game in charge of Everton in February 2023, the Toffees have scored a higher percentage of their goals via set pieces than any other club (45.5%, 30/66).
Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães has won the most fouls in the Premier League this season (24) and since his first start in March 2022 he has won 42 more fouls than anyone else (249). Since 2003-04, among players to play 5,000 Premier League minutes, the only players to win more fouls per 90 minutes than Guimarães (3) are Jack Grealish (3.8) and Wilfried Zaha (3.1).
Everton’s Ashley Young has assisted a goal in each of his last two Premier League appearances, which is as many assists as he got in his previous 117 games combined. At the age of 39, Young is the oldest player in Premier League history to assist a goal in consecutive games.
Anthony Gordon has been involved in 13 goals in 23 Premier League appearances in 2024 for Newcastle United (7 goals, 6 assists). He’s yet to score or assist against former club Everton and has one goal in his last 15 games at Goodison Park.
