Chelsea 1-1 Nottm Forest
Image source, PA MediaOh wow! Two fantastic saves at either end!
First Robert Sanchez keeps out Neco Williams after he had burst through, before Matz Sels keeps out a point-blank header from Christopher Nkunku at the other end.
What an end to this game.

As a United fan for 60 years a 0-0 result here against Villa will be the most unlikely I would ever have imagined. With these two teams no late goals seems unimaginable.

I think a draw at Villa for any team is a good result. Arsenal and City, if they got a draw at Villa Park, they'd consider it a good result.
United have done really well, especially defensively they have been brilliant but I think we know it's more than just one game.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
Six minutes added on, but play hasn't resumed. Boos inside Villa Park.

I don't think he [the referee] can hear the communication. Maybe they've run out of batteries.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd

Three minutes left and we have a stoppage for the referee to get his communication equipment changed.
Premier League football in 2024 right there.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
Still we wait to continue. Nobody has any AA batteries inside Villa Park!

The problem with United is deeper than ETH. How on earth someone would buy Zirkzee? The guy is lazy and not good enough. Three years now ETH has no pattern or style of play. United's football management is the worst on planet

Pedro Neto plays a brilliant ball in from the right and Joao Felix rises highest but somehow plants his header wide.
A final change for Chelsea with Tosin Adarabioyo replacing Levi Colwill.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
Ouch. Victor Lindelof absolutely wipes out Morgan Rogers and becomes the fifth Manchester United player to get booked.
And now a stoppage. Referee Rob Jones needs new batteries in his Walkie Talkie.
Chelsea 1-1 Nottm Forest
Chelsea make a double change with Pedro Neto and Mykhailo Mudryk on for Jadon Sancho and Noni Madueke.
There's going to be THIRTEEN minutes added on. Chelsea fans are loving that.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
Nobody's pushing, it's all too slow and the Holte End groans in frustration. Three minutes left.

Neco Williams, Marc Cucurella and Levi Colwill are all booked in the fallout from that.
Chelsea 1-1 Nottm Forest
Image source, Getty ImagesA mass scuffle has broken out on the pitch. It seemed Chelsea players were not happy at a reaction by Neco Williams towards Marc Cucurella.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
Changes for both teams. Casemiro replaces Kobbie Mainoo and Ian Maatsen is on for Lucas Digne.

United have lost their identity it seems. No style of play, no leader on the pitch and no chemistry. Midfield looks like they've never played a game together in their lives. Has me thinking is it Ten Hag or the people above him?
Baazi
Chelsea 1-1 Nottm Forest
Wow!
Fantastic double save by Matz Sels to twice deny Cole Palmer! The England forward looked certain to score there.

I think Erik ten Hag would be happiest with the point. Neither team has looked like scoring and Villa have never looked like losing. It's not the worst result for either side heading into the international break

Every time Jhon Duran gets the ball, no matter how implausible the scenario, Aston Villa's fans instinctively shout 'shoooot'.
So far he has not looked like adding to his tally.
Under 10 minutes left.

Having lost consecutive Premier League home games against Tottenham without scoring in 2021-22 and 2022-23, Brighton won this exact fixture 4-2 last season.
Just one of the 14 Premier League meetings between Brighton and Tottenham has finished as a draw (1-1 in April 2018), with Spurs winning nine to the Seagulls’ four.
Brighton and Hove Albion have drawn their last two home Premier League matches, last drawing three in a row in November 2023. Indeed, since the start of last season, no side has drawn more home games than Brighton (8).
Tottenham Hotspur have won their last two Premier League games, last winning three in a row in December last year. Spurs have netted three goals in each victory (3-1 vs Brentford, 3-0 vs Man Utd), last winning three consecutively while scoring 3+ goals in April 2022.
Brighton won six of their first 10 Premier League games in October (D2 L2) between 2017 and 2019 but have since won just one out of 16 October games since 2020 (D9 L6), a 4-1 win over Chelsea in 2022.
Only Manchester City (115) have had more shots in the Premier League than Tottenham Hotspur (110), while Spurs have had the most shots on target of any side (45). It’s the most shots on target Spurs have had in their opening six games of a season on record since 2003-04.
Brighton have had 61.5% possession in the Premier League this season, their highest average in a single campaign in the competition. Meanwhile, only Southampton’s Jan Bednarek (520) has completed more passes than Brighton central defender Lewis Dunk in 2024-25 (510).
Dejan Kulusevski created nine chances for Tottenham in their 3-0 win over Manchester United, the joint most by a Spurs player in a Premier League game on record since 2003-04; the only other player to do so for Spurs was Christian Eriksen in 2013 vs Newcastle and 2016 vs Crystal Palace.
After not scoring or assisting in any of his first 31 Premier League appearances, Brighton’s Carlos Baleba scored and assisted in their 4-2 defeat to Chelsea. He is the youngest Cameroonian to both score and assist in a Premier League match (20 years, 269 days).
Since the start of last season, the only Englishmen with more Premier League goals than Dominic Solanke (21) are Cole Palmer (28) and Ollie Watkins (23). The Spurs forward is looking to find the net in three consecutive appearances for the first time since December 2023.
