Brentford have enjoyed almost 70% possession in the opening 15 minutes at Molineux, with Wolves struggling to get out of their own third.

The home side need to do a bit more to get the crowd going. It's been a tame start to this one.

You feel like this will be a long afternoon for West Ham and you wonder what they are thinking mentally at this stage.

Manchester City are winning everything back so quickly. Every single City player is waiting to get the rebound and West Ham cannot get a pass in.

Brighton's Diego Coppola is fortunate to escape a yellow card after a poor challenge on Brian Brobbey.

It gifts Sunderland a free-kick which is floated towards the Brighton box before falling for Omar Alderete, whose attempt is straight at Bart Verbruggen.

The hosts are really toying with West Ham at the moment. It's all City.

Michael Kayode lures Joao Gomes into fouling him and Brentford have a free-kick in a dangerous area.

Mathias Jensen swings the ball in but it's cleared. The ball comes back in and Jorgen Strand Larsen inadvertently heads behind for a corner.

Wolves are under pressure.

It's all Manchester City so far. West Ham have just not had a sniff of the ball.

They win a corner and Josko Gvardiol leaps the highest but can't keep his header down.

How did Erling Haaland miss that from six yards out?!

It brings chants of "you're just a rubbish Andy Carroll" from the travelling West Ham supporters.

There's a Christmas Carroll joke in there somewhere.

What a nightmare start for West Ham. You're looking to go there and trying to shut up shop, stay in the game. And five minutes in Haaland has already burst the back of the net.

Now a first corner of the game for Sunderland which sparks a roar from their travelling fans who made the long journey in numbers.

It's glanced away.

Ten minutes on the clock and Brighton have already covered 10.76km as a team.

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo will be furious.

The gamplan goes out of the window inside five minutes.

As it stands, the Hammers will be inside the relegation zone at Christmas.

Erling Haaland almost doubles City's lead and gets his second of the afternoon but he can't get his shot on target.

It is all Bournemouth here with Burnley players firmly camped on the edge of their own area.

David Brooks and Evanilson link up well as the former sends a low effort just wide.

Erling Haaland loves scoring against this team in claret. He made no mistake and Manchester City did not have to work hard for it at all.

West Ham were starting strong centrally but Man City cut them through the middle. Fernandes just did not track Phil Foden and allowed him to make the bursting run.

City have managed to keep possession and played a lot of the game so far in the West Ham half. It comes out to Foden and he looks for his favourite person to pass to. Haaland's first shot is saved but he follows up on his right to send it into the top corner.

Manchester City have scored 20 first-half goals in 17 games, more than any other team in the Premier League this season.

Five of those have come inside the opening 15 minutes.

Brentford enjoy a spell of pressure, with Michael Kayode in particular looking lively on the right wing.

He combines with Keane Lewis-Potter but the Englishman's cross is easy for Jose Sa to collect.

"Jeff Shi is gone," chant the Wolves supporters who had been calling for the executive chairman to leave.

He stepped down on Friday after nearly 10 years at Molineux and had been the target of abuse from supporters who blamed him for the club's decline.

Long-term frustrations have surfaced more frequently this season - understandable given Wolves' winless and desperate position in the Premier League.

Nico O'Reilly stays down after being clipped by Kyle Walker-Peters.

It's just an impact injury by the looks of things, he'll be fine to continue.

Is Robin Roefs the bargain buy of the summer?

Sunderland's Dutch keeper cost £9m plus £2.25m in add-ons when he joined in August.

He's already kept five clean sheets in 16 Premier League games, and that early save to deny Mats Wieffer was decent.
