Jordan Pickford is booked right at the end of the first half for dissent.

Everyone is saying about Southampton's shirt, but at least if the floodlights fail at Craven Cottage, the game can still carry on.

Bruno Fernandes a dangerpublished at 14:47 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2024
Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth
Simon Stone
BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at Old Trafford
Image source, ReutersBruno Fernandes has been the major danger for Manchester United today.
He is not afraid to try his luck from distance and is threatening in a way United's other offensive players are not.
The problem with Ruben Amorim's system is that you need forceful wide players who are a significant threat. Neither Tyrell Malacia nor Diogo Dalot have been that yet.

I see the stark reality of United is finally hitting home to the media and fans. So many clubs are ahead of United now in terms of recruitment, academy, infrastructure, as well as better players and coaches. The best United can hope for over the next decade is probably top 6.

Leicester 0-3 Wolves
Wolves three goals have come from an expected goals total of 0.41. Not a good look for Danny Ward.

It's funny how football makes you feel about your rivals. I'm cheering on Everton today until 4:30pm. Be happy with a draw. Come on the Toffees !!

'What a strike'published at 14:45 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2024
Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth
Michael Brown
Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveWhat a strike.
Kobbie Mainoo was like a number 10. Bruno Fernandes hit it so hard, it looked like it was flying towards the top corner - Kepa was scrambling.
Fernandes has good technique, but he must hit the target.

Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth
It's Bruno Fernandes again!
He's all over the place and his latest ambitious attempt is a whisker away from going in.
GOAL - Leicester 0-3 Wolvespublished at 14:43 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2024
Matheus Cunha (44 mins)
Image source, Getty ImagesYikes. Gary O'Neil will be wondering where this was all season.
Goncalo Guedes picks out Matheus Cunha, who slams a shot in from a tightish angle. Danny Ward gets a touch but the ball goes in via the far post.
'Kepa with a strong left hand'published at 14:43 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2024

Michael Brown
Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveKepa with a strong left hand and it was at the right height for him.
CLOSE!published at 14:43 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2024
Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth
Two chances for Bruno Fernandes in quick succession.
The first is off target but the second one Kepa does well to keep out.
United are enjoying their best spell of the game. Will they find an equaliser before half-time?
Postpublished at 14:43 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2024
Leicester 0-2 Wolves
Big chance for Leicester and it falls to the main man Jamie Vardy. The ball comes to him in the box, he takes a touch or two and slams a shot in. It beats Jose Sa but it's blocked on the line by Toti Gomes. But maybe it would have eventually been disallowed for offside.

Everton 0-0 Chelsea
Pat Nevin
Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveMuch better from Everton. Ndiaye was brilliant there. He's done both Caicedo and Disasi. That was a decent move.

Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth
Simon Stone
BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at Old TraffordManchester United have now conceded first in their last six games.
The set piece issues are a clear concern but United have a pretty significant defensive issue.
United are going to spend Christmas in 13th as it stands.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:41 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2024
Everton 0-0 Chelsea
Iliman Ndiaye goes into the book for hauling down Pedro Neto. It earns Chelsea a free-kick which Cole Palmer whips in but Everton's defence deal with it.

Leicester 0-2 Wolves
On the back of a 4-0 hammering by Newcastle, this is not a good couple of weeks by Leicester.

Match Facts
Tottenham won this exact fixture 2-1 last season, last winning consecutive home league games against Liverpool between 2008 and 2012 (a run of five).
Liverpool have lost just two of their last 23 Premier League games against Tottenham (W15 D6) and have scored at least once in each of their last 17 against Spurs.
Tottenham won this exact fixture 2-1 last season thanks to a 90th minute Joel Matip own goal. Indeed, this fixture has seen more 90th minute winning goals than any other in Premier League history (6).
Tottenham have lost nine of their last 11 Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table, with both exceptions coming away against Manchester City (2-2 in August 2019, 3-2 in February 2022). They’ve lost all five home games in this run.
Tottenham have kept just one clean sheet in their last 23 Premier League home games, a 4-0 win against Everton earlier this season. They’re winless in their last three at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (D1 L2), last having a longer run without a home win in November/December 2013 (4).
Spurs have scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of games than any other side in the Premier League this season (9), with five of those coming in their last two games.
Having conceded just three goals in their first eight Premier League games this season, Liverpool have now conceded 10 in their last seven. Their last two games have been drawn 3-3 with Newcastle and 2-2 with Fulham, with the Reds last drawing three straight league games in the same season back in October 2015.
Victory for Liverpool will see them top of the Premier League table at Christmas for the first time since 2020-21. However, the Reds have only won the title in one of the last seven top-flight campaigns in which they’ve been top at Christmas, doing so in 2019-20.
Son Heung-min’s two assists against Southampton last time out took his total in the Premier League to 68 – the joint-most of any Tottenham player in the competition’s history (level with Darren Anderton).
Mohamed Salah has been involved in 22 of Liverpool’s 31 Premier League goals this season (71%), by far the highest share of any player for a side so far this term. He has 13 goals and nine assists, and could become the first player in Premier League history to reach double figures for both before Christmas in a single campaign.
