Wolves 1-0 West Ham
VAR confirms the referee's decision. No penalty.
Niclas Fullkrug isn't happy and he pursues the referee, pointing furiously at his head. Tony Harrington is having none of it and is quick to reach for his pocket for a yellow card.
Arsenal 1-0 Fulham
Declan Rice goes into the book for a shirt pull on Issa Diop. Pure frustration, he had just lost the ball to the Fulham defender.
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Manchester United
Manchester United have conceded seven goals from fast breaks in the Premier League this season - the joint-highest tally in the competition.
Will Anthony Elanga's moment of brilliance prove to be the winner? Plenty of time for United to get back in this one.

I imagine VAR will have a look at this.
Matt Doherty seems to catch Niclas Fullkrug in the face with a high boot, but referee Tony Harrington waves away any appeals.

Andre gets a standing ovation from the Molineux crowd as he's replaced by Pablo Sarabia.
Twenty minutes to of normal time to go.

A blatant foul and everybody could see that.
Casemiro's in the referee's face and it is poor behaviour from him when it's a blatant free-kick.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde steals possession off Aaron Wan-Bissaka and breaks with pace down the left, but his cross is a terrible one and misses the box completely.
Wolves keep the attack alive, though, with Matt Doherty steaming forward before cutting the ball back for Jorgen Strand Larsen, who fires over.

Part of Forest's secret sauce this season is their team spirit. Every player is fighting for each other, and have smiles on their faces in the midst of the heat of the battle. They are enjoying this journey just as much as us lucky fans.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Manchester United
Forest skipper Ryan Yates attacks a cross from Anthony Elanga and Andre Onana flings himself to his left and makes a fine reaction stop.
It wouldn't have counted anyway, even if the header had gone in as Yates was then flagged offside.

What a roar. What an ovation for the returning Bukayo Saka. It seems like every Arsenal fan is on their feet to greet him.

Fulham make a triple change.
Off: Sasa Lukic, Adama Traore, Emile Smith-Rowe.
On: Andreas Pereira, Willian, Alex Iwobi.
Arsenal 1-0 Fulham
Here he comes then. A first appearance of 2025 for Bukayo Saka. He replaces Ethan Nwaneri. A welcome sight for Arsenal fans.

I'm not so sure Adama Traore shoots there, he looked in two minds. Look at the space that Raul Jimenez is in in the middle of the box. A simple pass across to his strike partner and it's a tap in.
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Manchester United
Rasmus Hojlund almost makes an instant impact for Manchester United, shooting from a tight angle down the right side of the penalty area and it is deflected behind for a corner.
Bruno Fernandes with an outswinger from the right, Casemiro once again meets it at the near post but can only send the header straight at Matz Sels.
Arsenal 1-0 Fulham
Big cheer from the home supporters and we know what that means. Bukayo Saka is going to come on.
Wolves 1-0 West Ham
Tempers are fraying! One of Wolves' coaches - Andre Monteiro - is shown a yellow for protesting angrily against a decision.
Then James Ward-Prowse and Nelson Semedo are locked together, with the Wolves full-back looking to have Ward-Prowse in a headlock.
By the way, Wolves boss Vitor Pereira was booked on the stroke of half-time.

Adama Traore picks up the ball and puts the burners on. He's far out on the left-hand side but it looks like he goes for goal and drags it well wide.
There was a purple shirt arriving in the box but the ball was way beyond him.
Bukayo Saka celebrates his goal as he returns from injury
Bukayo Saka scored just seven minutes into his return after 101 days out injured to help Arsenal beat Fulham at Emirates Stadium.
The England forward came off the bench in the second half, with the score at 1-0, and showed Arsenal what they have missed during his absence, heading in Gabriel Martinelli's flick at the far post on 73 minutes.
Mikel Merino had given the Gunners the lead in the 37th minute when his shot was deflected into the corner after Ethan Nwaneri's cut-back.
Rodrigo Muniz pulled a goal back for Fulham in stoppage time when his shot was deflected by William Saliba and wrong-footed goalkeeper David Raya.
The win moved Arsenal to within nine points of runaway leaders Liverpool.
It was a mixed night for the Gunners though who, despite the positive of having Saka back from his serious hamstring injury, lost centre-back Gabriel early in the first half, which is a worry for manager Mikel Arteta with a Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid next week.
Fulham defended deep throughout the match but should have pulled one back much earlier when substitute Muniz headed wide from six yards out with the goal gaping.
Arsenal take on Everton on Saturday in the Premier League before preparing for the first leg of their quarter-final against Real at home on Tuesday.
Arteta praises Saka's return and goal as 'good moment'
All of the talk before the match was of Saka's return after Arteta had said that the forward was "ready to go" after his lengthy injury.
The Gunners have suffered without him in the side and their failings in attack are one of the reasons they have not kept touch with Liverpool in the title race.
In the 16 games that the 23-year-old was available in the Premier League for Arsenal, they scored 34 goals at a rate of 2.1 per game.
In the 13 that he missed, the Gunners scored 19 at a rate of 1.5 per match - highlighting Saka's importance to the side.
His presence lifted the stadium and he received a standing ovation when he went out to warm up in the first half.
Arsenal initially struggled to break down Fulham, a common theme of their season which has seen injuries to attackers Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus alongside Saka.
But Saka's introduction was loudly cheered and the stadium erupted when he scored. The sight of him hitting his stride immediately is a welcome one for those Arsenal fans, with a big test to come against European champions Real.
Arsenal deserved to beat Fulham - Silva
Fulham came to the Emirates with a very clear gameplan to defend deep and restrict Arsenal to limited chances.
Manager Marco Silva made five changes to the team that lost 3-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final to Crystal Palace and changed formation to play with five at the back.
The plan almost worked as Arsenal, as they have all season with their injuries, struggled to create clear openings before Merino's deflected shot gave them the breakthrough.
Fulham had good opportunities of their own as Raul Jimenez forced a good save from Raya and Muniz somehow missed before he eventually pulled one back
Silva cut a frustrated figure in his technical area and will be hoping that these two results do not derail the good work that Fulham have done up to this point.
