An early opportunity for the Premier League's bottom club but Marshall Munetsi drags it wide after a poor pass from the usually reliable Granit Xhaka.

Sunderland immediately respond through Nordi Mukiele, the Frenchman going close with a low, drilled attempt.

Cameras show Jack Grealish back in familiar surroundings.

He returns to his parent club today and is therefore ineligible to play. A big miss for the visitors with the winger the Premier League's joint-top assist-maker this season.

Brighton survive the early free-kick but Newcastle come again.

Those Newcastle fans are in fine voice behind the goal!

Victory for Bournemouth today would be their 100th in the Premier League.

But it's a tough ask against a Palace side who are unbeaten in their last nine home top-flight matches.

The last two meetings between the two ended in draws.

Anthony Gordon knocks the ball down the left wing before turning on the afterburners. Yankuba Minteh times a tackle perfectly but Craig Pawson gives a free-kick.

Chance for Newcastle.

Off we go with our 3pm matches.

A gloomy day weather wise here, which is in stark contrast to the mood amongst both sets of fans, with Bournemouth heading top of the table with a win and Palace going no lower than third if they’re victorious.

It feels like a tough one to call but the view in the media room here is that the Cherries chances have certainly been hit a fair bit by the absence of Evanilson through injury.

It’s my first visit here this season and what a difference promotion makes; this place is buzzing. Many of the home fans were in their seats very early, with today representing another opportunity to cement this stadium’s status as a fortress for Sunderland.

But the supporters around me do have one common concern; the impact of the international break. A number of players had long trips home after playing for their countries, including Paraguay’s Omar Alderete, who Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris said had a 20 hour journey!

So it’ll be a test of stamina on the pitch this afternoon, as Wolves chase that elusive first Premier League win of the season.

Everton secured a last-gasp win before the international break to end Crystal Palace's long unbeaten run, but the stats coming into this one for manager David Moyes does not make for pleasant reading.

Under the Scot, Everton have never won away at a side that finished previous season in the top three, playing 36 such fixtures and losing 24.

In fact, Moyes as a manager only has one victory in 58 away games - a 2-0 win at Arsenal while West Ham boss in 2023.

It's a tough task of putting that record right today against a City side that are quietly picking up form and are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions.

Given the speculation going into the game it was already in Marinakis' mind. This is not a knee-jerk reaction to the actual game. The speculation has been building, Sean Dyche's name has been heavily, heavily linked, and quite frankly they might need someone like him to go in there to steady the ship.

All the good work that Nuno Espirito Santo has done seems to have evaporated in a matter of weeks. He took them from relegation contenders to playing in Europe. The Ange Postecoglou appointment has been disastrous.

Whilst this may have been coming and dominated the build up to the game, that decision has happened a matter of ten minutes or more after Postecoglou walked down the tunnel.

A wild shambles.

If you are the owner and you choose the managers, you need to look at yourself sometimes.

I do think eight games, even though it's been bad, that ain't enough to see if you are good enough.

Ange Postecoglou was in charge for eight games at Nottingham Forest.

Six of those ended in defeat, including an early Carabao Cup exit at Championship club Swansea City, when Forest led 2-1 in the 92nd minute before conceding two in four minutes to lose 3-2.

The other two games - away at Burnley (Premier League) and Real Betis (Europa League) ended in draws.

The way the crowd were it was almost a toxic atmosphere before the game. I do think it was beginning to be a real problem.
