Wolves 1-0 Brighton
Nick Mashiter
BBC Sport football news reporter at MolineuxWolves' last Premier League clean sheet came in April, a 3-0 win over Leicester which was also the last time they won in the top flight.
Sam Johnstone has just kept them ahead, and the clean sheet intact, with a wonderful save to deny Ggeorgino Rutter.

Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace
So close to a Palace second. Jean-Philippe Mateta clips the ball over Jordan Pickford but Jake O'Brien heads it off the line.

I fear Villa are now officially into the zone of 'They’ll Regret Not Taking These Chances'.

Bruno Guimarães (58 mins)

It felt like something special would be needed for Newcastle to take the lead and special this is as Bruno Guimarães is picked out just outside the box and he curls an unstoppable strike into the back of the net.
Something for the Newcastle fans to savour, but more concern for Forest boss Ange Postecoglou.
'Everton have got a focal point'published at 15:15 BST
Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace
Alex Bruce
Former Hull defender on BBC Radio 5 Live at Hill Dickinson StadiumIt is much better from Everton's centre forward [Beto]. That's what you want from your number nine. Everton have got a focal point which they didn't have in the first half.

Palace back on the frontfoot again and Daichi Kamada drags a shot wide from just outside the box.

Wolves 1-0 Brighton
Big chance for Wolves to add a second as Jhon Arias is picked out by a cutback and he should be hitting the target but sends his first-time strike well over.

Following the resulting corner, Villa captain John McGinn flashes a shot wide from the edge of the box.

Newcastle players go to ground at every opportunity. It’s something they must be instructed to do. Looks pathetic watching as a neutral.

Newcastle 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Half a chance for Nottingham Forest as Dan Ndoye races away down the left. He gets into the box and tees up Neco Williams but his poked effort is tame and an easy save for Nick Pope.

Aston Villa 1-0 Burnley
Lovely move from Villa and it's almost 2-0. Donyell Malen plays the ball to Ollie Watkins, who flicks the ball back into Malen's path with his heel. Malen is tackled and the ball runs to Morgan Rogers, whose shot is saved by Martin Dubravka.

Newcastle's passing is so off. The creativity from midfielder to forward is dreadful. Without Tonali the midfield is a mess. Toon fan.

Newcastle 0-0 Nottingham Forest
A swift recovery from a poor mistake by Morato as he first hits a tame clearance straight to Nick Woltemade inside the box, but then throws himself in front of the striker's shot from close range.

Wolves 1-0 Brighton
Not a great deal has happened in this one although Brighton win a free-kick just outside the box and up comes Lewis Dunk to take it. The effort is poor as he sends it way over the bar.

Newcastle 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest continue to look really well organised at the back but attacking wise it has been difficult for them. They've had one shot on goal so far and Elliot Anderson tries to bring the ball forward and turn defence into attack but he has no options ahead of him.

Match Facts
Since completing a Premier League double over Manchester City in 2022-23, Brentford are winless in their last four against the Citizens in the division (D1 L3).
Manchester City have only lost one of their four Premier League visits to Brentford (W2 D1), going down 1-0 on the final day of the 2022-23 season.
Brentford won 3-1 against Manchester United last time out. The only team to face both Manchester clubs in consecutive Premier League games and win them both are Tottenham Hotspur in January 1996 (4-1 v Man Utd, 1-0 v Man City).
Brentford have won four of their last six Premier League home games (D1 L1), scoring at least twice in five of those matches. This comes after an eight game winless run at Gtech Community Stadium, a run in which they failed to score on five occasions.
Manchester City are the only side to have spent more than half of their game time in a winning position in the Premier League this season (55.3%). The Citizens have spent over two hours in the lead in their last two away league games, but have failed to win either match (D1 L1).
Manchester City (18.4%) and Brentford (17.7%) have the two highest shot conversion rates in the Premier League this season. Indeed, the Bees have had the joint-fewest shots so far this term (51), but rank joint-sixth for goals scored (9).
Both Brentford and Manchester City lead the way in goals from fast breaks in the Premier League this season (3 each), with two of the Bees’ coming against Manchester United in their last match.
Pep Guardiola has won 249 of his 348 Premier League matches as Man City manager (D50 L49). The Spaniard could become the 16th manager to win 250 top-flight games with a single club and would reach that total in only 349 games – 74 games quicker than anyone else has managed (Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, 423 games).
Brentford’s Igor Thiago has scored five goals from six shots on target in all competitions this season. Meanwhile, in the Premier League the Brazilian has the highest shot conversion rate of any player to have 10+ shots this term (40% - 4 goals from 10 shots).
Two of the three players to apply the most high-intensity pressures to opponents in the Premier League this season are Brentford’s Igor Thiago (354) and Yehor Yarmoliuk (340). Thiago ranks first for this metric in the opposition half (234), while Yarmoliuk is top in his own half of the pitch (244).
Man City’s Phil Foden has only scored more Premier League goals against Brighton (8) than he has against Brentford (7), with six of his seven goals against the Bees coming at the Gtech Community Stadium.
