There's not a lot for Aston Villa on the bench. Of course Duran could come on and cause problems but there's not a lot behind that for Unai Emery

He will send his subs out to warm-up. Ross Barkley is frustrating Emery by giving the ball away.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
United's corner drops for Alejandro Garnacho but he toe-pokes his volley well wide.
Chelsea 0-1 Nottm Forest
Lots of space to attack for Chelsea now as Nottingham Forest start to push out more. The Blues work the ball down the left but Moises Caicedo puts in a poor cross.

Lisandro Martinez had one of his worst games in a United shirt at Porto midweek. He was so far off it there must have been an underlying problem which would explain him remaining on the bench now as well.

Manchester United make a lively start, shipping it out to Marcus Rashford who lets fly from the edge of the box.
Emi Martinez tips it over.

Not hard to work out why Man Utd are 14th in table, slow, waiting on an individual to score, just not good enough

Image source, ReutersSuch a simple free-kick lofted into a good area.
Nikola Milenkovic gets contact and Chris Wood directs it into the far corner.
It is so simple and Chelsea don't deal with the long ball. Exactly how Forest will have wanted to start this half.

As poor as Ten Hag has been perceived to be. The constant injuries have not helped.

Aston Villa know they could have played better in that first half and Manchester United have an excuse now because they've had to make two changes. Aston Villa need to see this as an opportunity

Erm, whatever you say Tom!
Victor Lindelof is playing right-back. Diogo Dalot stays at left-back.

This has early second half Villa goal only for United to get a late penalty scored by Rashford, who then gets sent off for a controversial high leg, followed by Mainoo getting a second yellow, then finally at the end of 97 minutes Duran scoring a screamer, written all over it. Predictable.

Nottingham Forest have frustrated Chelsea for long periods and now take the lead as Nikola Milenkovic flicks on a free-kick and Chris Wood sticks out a boot to prod in.
That's his fourth of the season.

This is one of the first hurdle for Chelsea. Forest low block is difficult to break down .

Man Utd lack so much in the final third. This is probably the best time they could play Villa.
There is no confidence from Man Utd in the final third.

Confirmation of Manchester United's double change.
Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof come on for the injured Harry Mahuire and, as Simon says, Noussair Mazraoui.
Play is about to resume.

It's Noussair Mazraouri who makes way for Victor Lindelof.
Chelsea 0-0 Nottm Forest
Early effort from Chelsea as Moises Caicedo shoots from distance. Wide.

It's saying something when as a Villa fan I'm thinking we're playing awful when we're drawing at home to United. I would have been delighted with this about 20 years ago.

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.
