Ipswich fans unable to get into the ground due to turnstile issues? Sadly no such luck for us United fans at Old Trafford today!!

Anthony Gordon has looked incredibly lively so far this afternoon. Lewis Dunk is not enjoying his afternoon against the England international at the moment.
Ipswich Town 0-0 Everton
It's a bright start from Everton. Abdoulaye Doucoure and Idrissa Gueye link up down the right to earn a corner, but the chance comes to nothing as Jack Harrison fouls home keeper Arijanet Muric.
Southampton 1-0 Leicester City
Image source, ReutersJamie Vardy gets his first half-sight of goal, set up in the box following a fine run by Facundo Buonanotte. His shot is blocked behind by Jan Bednarek.
The subsequent corner is flicked over by Wilfred Ndidi.
Fulham 1-1 Aston Villa
Almost an Aston Villa lead! Ollie Watkins is played clean through by Youri Tielemans and only has Bernd Leno to beat.
He tries to dink it over the German stopper, but Leno is out quick and manages to stay tall and block with his body.
Southampton 1-0 Leicester City
Southampton are without a home win in their last 10 Premier League games, across the 2022-23 campaign and this one. Their last home top flight win was in March 2023 - a 1-0 win over... Leicester.
They aim to double their lead here, but impressive teenage winger Tyler Dibling just runs out of room down the right.
Manchester United 0-0 Brentford

The Manchester United defender is now back on the pitch and he is showing no signs of concussion, which is obviously a good sign.
Victor Lindelof continues to warm-up.

Why does ETH continue to play Fernandes in a central role where he will play too far forward, leaving the midfield overrun by the opposition? Rashford will also play his usual 15 mins then go out of the game.

Under way at Portman Road, finally.

Should be 1-0 Newcastle. A ball into the box is flicked on toward Alexander Isak six yards out, but the Swede takes an air shot, swinging at the ball and completely missing it.
Oops.
Manchester United 0-0 Brentford
After all that wait for the Brentford free-kick, Keane Lewis-Potter can only blast it into the wall and the hosts clear.
Manchester United 0-0 Brentford
Image source, Getty ImagesMatthijs de Ligt has injured himself in that challenge with Kevin Schade and is needing treatment, with Brentford having to wait for that free-kick.
De Ligt had clattered into Schade, but also taken a kick to the head in the same incident. There is blood on the top of the United man's head.
Southampton 1-0 Leicester City
Putting aside that 9-0 five years ago, Southampton have a dreadful recent record against Leicester - last season in the Championship, they lost 4-1 at home to the Foxes and 5-0 at the King Power Stadium.
Things are going slightly better so far today.
Southampton 1-0 Leicester City
Leicester are asking more questions of Southampton now. Another wide free kick, this time from the left, and another free header - this time by James Justin.
Justin however mistimes his effort, and it flies wide off his shoulder.
Fulham 1-1 Aston Villa
Ellen White
Former England striker on BBC Final Score
Image source, ReutersWhat I like is Morgan Rogers in that pocket of space in front of the Fulham back line, such good movement.
The ball comes to him and he decides to take the shot on with four or five defenders in front of him, but it takes that lucky deflection and goes in. It is a huge deflection that takes it over the line.
Ipswich Town 0-0 Everton
After a 15-minute delay because of a problem with the turnstiles, the players are out on the pitch at Portman Road, with kick-off coming up shortly.
Newcastle 0-0 Brighton
Image source, PA MediaNewcastle are building. Anthony Gordon has shone so far and cuts a pass back to Alexander Isak, but the striker's first-time shot is blocked by his own team-mate Jacob Murphy.
Manchester United 0-0 Brentford
Chris Sutton
Ex-Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
A clumsy challenge from Matthijs de Ligt. This is at a decent range for Brentford.
Manchester United 0-0 Brentford
Kevin Schade has been wiped out by Matthijs de Ligt and Brentford have a free-kick centrally 25 yards out. Good chance this for the visitors.
Southampton 1-0 Leicester City

Great start for Southampton and that early lead has been fully deserved. The Saints have been right on it while Leicester City have not got started.
Big encouragement from the home fans, and manager Russell Martin absolutely loved that.

Bournemouth have lost 11 of their 14 Premier League games against Arsenal, though all three exceptions have been in home games (3-3 in January 2017, 2-1 in January 2018, 1-1 in December 2019).
Since Bournemouth returned to the Premier League in 2022, Arsenal have won all four of their meetings with the Cherries by an aggregate score 13-2, netting 3+ goals each time.
Each of Bournemouth’s last 10 Premier League wins have been against sides in the bottom half of the table. The Cherries are winless in their last 11 against sides in the top half since beating Manchester United 3-0 in December last year (D4 L7).
Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Southampton last time out was their 1,999th top-flight win. Victory here will see them become the second side to reach 2,000, after Liverpool (2,065).
Arsenal are unbeaten in all 10 of their games in all competitions so far this season (W7 D3) – they last had a longer unbeaten run from the start of a campaign in 2007-08 (first 21).
Bournemouth have had more shot ending high turnovers than any other side in the Premier League this season (18), while only three sides have faced fewer such shots than the Cherries (6).
Arsenal have won 10 of their 12 away Premier League games so far in 2024, with their only two failures both coming away against Manchester City (0-0 in March, 2-2 in September).
Bukayo Saka has scored 49 Premier League goals for Arsenal. Aged 23 years and 44 days on the day of this game, a goal against Bournemouth would make him the youngest to net 50 for the club in the competition (11th player overall).
Kai Havertz has been involved in 20 goals in his last 21 Premier League appearances (13 goals, 7 assists). His first goal for Arsenal came in this exact fixture last season, netting a penalty in a 4-0 victory.
No player has more secondary assists (the pass before the assist) in the Premier League this season than Arsenal’s Thomas Partey (3).
