It is a triple change for West Ham as Carlos Soler, Tomas Soucek and Emerson are replaced by James Ward-Prowse, Ollie Scarles and Evan Ferguson, who makes his Hammers debut.

Plenty of changes at half-time at Villa Park.

Marcus Rashford and Ian Maatsen replace Jacob Ramsey and Lucas Digne for the hosts.

And Jack Clarke, who came off the bench for Julio Enciso in the 16th minute, is back on it as he's replaced by Luke Woolfenden.

Manchester City are practical, pragmatic. The ball has gone back to Ederson on two occasions and he's kicked it long. We know they like to play out from the back but it's all about being effective and they have been so far this afternoon.

Southampton make a double change for the second half as Yukinari Sugawara and Lesley Ugochukwu come on for Welington and Nathan Wood.

Eddie Howe has acted.

He had to do something really as Newcastle were facing a very heavy defeat.

Kieran Trippier's misreading of Ederson's long ball downfield started this whole sorry mess off.

We're starting to get under way again...

Eddie Howe knows something has to change for Newcastle to avoid embarrassment today, and has made a double half-time change.

Kieran Trippier and Joe Willock are off, with Lewis Miley and Tino Livramento coming on.

Rob Jones has given six red cards in 15 Premier League games this season, no referee has given more.

Ipswich can't complain too much about that one - a second yellow - for Axel Tuanzebe, who was in trouble as soon as he placed his hand on Morgan Rogers shoulder.

Arsenal's goalscorer Mikel Merino, speaking to BBC MOTD about playing as a striker: "It was big news for me this morning when one of the assistants told me it was an option.

"It's the first time in my career that I have played this position, but the good thing is the way this team plays everyone knows what everyone has to do. Mikel told me to use my strengths and be in the box.

"I was in the right place at the right moment.

"I have not trained there once. I know what everyone has to do on the pitch.

"Tactically, we are a rich team and I just tried to emulate all these guys who are out injured.

"Today, in the first half, we didn't have control over what we wanted to have. The message was clear, and we tried to be calm and patient.

"You have to take advantage of your moment."

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We knew it was going to be tough. The first 20 minutes, we were too sloppy. It opened up the game a little bit. We didn't have a real threat and we weren't playing with enough urgency. We were much sharper in the second half. Mikel could give us something with Trossard off the left.

On Mikel Merino: "He certainly has. He has a sense of danger and great timing in the box. We were on the verge of about to get to a different level of anxiety. We were composed, scored two brilliant goals and could have scored one or two more.

On Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly: "Physically they are built in a really special way already. Emotionally and mentally, how composed they are, and how they make decisions on the pitch are really impressive so let them go.

"That's what we want. Let's go day by day and take a lot of positives from the second half but also know the first half wasn't good enough to win games."

Manchester City finished the half sitting deep. Newcastle just haven't laid a glove on them really.

I didn't see this performance coming from Newcastle, it's been as flat as anything. Credit also has to go to City for the way they've approached this first half and mixed the game up.

Yoane Wissa drives a shot just wide before the whistle goes for half time with Brentford ahead. They also had two goals disallowed as well.

Axel Tuanzebe put his hands on top of Jacob Ramsey shoulders just outside the box and the referee didn't have any other choice.

Play goes on at Villa Park, with all 10 of Ipswich's players parked behind the ball as the hosts.

But finally Rob Jones blows the whistle and the Tractor Boys will get a breather.

Matz Sels has been kept busy. The Nottingham Forest keeper sees Raul Jimenez's strike late and it bounces awkwardly in front of him, but he manages to get down and parry away.
