Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
VAR has a very quick penalty check to see if Morgan Rogers handled the ball in the box after going up for a header with Harry Maguire.
Yep, Maguire does head the ball against the Rogers' hand, but his arm is only up to help him jump and is inches away from Maguire's head.
Never a pen and VAR rightly waves it away.
Chelsea 0-0 Nottm Forest
Moises Caicedo is booked for a foul some 30 yards out from Chelsea's goal and Nottingham Forest have a free-kick, but James Ward-Prowse's delivery is a poor one.
At the other end, Noni Madueke whips a strike just over.

Image source, EPANottingham Forest have evolved under manager Nuno Espirito Santo and are now capable of coming to places like Chelsea and keeping possession.
Since promotion to the Premier League, this east midlands club have played mostly in a low block under previous manager Steve Cooper and in their new Portuguese manager's first season.
However, new signings like James Ward-Prowse and Elliot Anderson have given them enough quality to keep the ball even against some of English football's better teams.
Forest can be delighted with their start at Stamford Bridge and have created the better chances but Noni Madueke appears to have the beating of his marker Alex Moreno.

Result so far better than we were against Spurs last week. Hope I am not tempting fate

It was good from Jaden Philogene. Villa slowed it down, but he cut across it so it was always going wide.
Good play from young Philogene.

Real lack of intensity from Villa and the crowd, think they are believing their own hype and expected to turn up and walk this. United looking sharp.

If you're a United fan and hope we lose so ETH gets sacked then you're part of the problem I'm afraid. I would hope that the current leadership make a sensible decision that is not reliant on one result. If they have real doubts about his future then one game should not change that.

Image source, Getty ImagesTwenty minutes in and Cole Palmer has only had one touch of the ball inside the box so far.
Nottingham Forest fans will be happy to see him being kept quiet, although he didn't get his first against Brighton until the 21st minute and added three more before the break...
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
Aston Villa have fallen into the trap of being far too open against Manchester United in the past. Not today though. They're solid, compact and difficult to break down.
As are United to be fair. Marcus Rashford's chance is our only shot on target.

Aston Villa have made a few changes [since the Bayern Munich game]. They need the crowd to get behind them which is what they're doing.
Chelsea 0-0 Nottm Forest
Morgan Gibbs-White drives through the middle for Nottingham Forest as Chelsea's defenders drop off. Gibbs-White has space ahead of him but his shot is disappointing as he drags it wide.

On a scale of 1-10, how frustrated do you think Jhon Duran is currently, constantly sitting on the bench, only getting 30min every week. I’d be amazed if he’s not snapped up in January

Play stops again for Matty Cash to tie his shoelaces.
All the build-up yet the first 15 minutes of this one has been rather dull. We should have seen it coming really.

No matter how terrible Utd seem to play they always seem to turn up against us, think it will be a close result but get that feeling Utd will nick a result against us, they always seem to find a way against Villa,

Image source, Getty ImagesNoni Madueke has Alex Moreno on toast in these opening exchanges and he again powers past the full-back, but his ball into the box is a poor one and goes high and wide.

Manchester United slow the game down, passing it between their defenders.
This is not the high intensity always in transition United we're used to.

Many so called Utd fans hoping we lose today. We've been here before. So too were Liverpool and Arsenal under Klopp and Arteta in their third seasons. Back the manager. Back our club.
Mike from Surrey.

Ezri Konsa is a top defender - you can play him anywhere.
That will be him out of the England squad as well, but that's a huge blow for Aston Villa.

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.
