Man City v Newcastle (15:00 GMT)

For Newcastle to be at the top of their game it only happens for so long because of the physical demands.
I think Eddie Howe is a top manager and they have been good but for them to win games the way they do, every player has to be on their top form.
Man City v Newcastle (15:00 GMT)

The Newcastle boss believes his team will need to produce "their best performance" in order to take points from their trip to Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
"I don't think you can necessarily look at their form over that period of time," Howe said. "I think you have to look at it over a much longer period of time.
"They have been sensational for so many seasons, which is so difficult to do at this level because of the standard of the other teams.
"You never know what is going to happen when you go to any stadium in the Premier League now, so I think that is producing something very interesting this year - but Manchester City are a good team.
"Statistically, they have been very strong at home. They are still the benchmark for me and we will have to produce our best performance to try to get something from this match."

The detail that Pep Guardiola gets over to that squad is great.
They have just been caught cold this season and too many of their top players have been nowhere near the level.

And here come the negative comments ... second half was excellent from Arsenal. Nwaneri sensational.

We'll continue to bring you reaction from that Arsenal win, but let's start to build up to today's 3pm fixtures.
Here’s a reminder of the five games we’ve got coming up shortly…

Right at the end Mikel Merino wanted that hat-trick.
Excellent finishes for both goals. Ethan Nwaneri in the front three was fantastic today.
Arsenal were composed at the back and they defended easily.
FT: Leicester City 0-2 Arsenal
Leicester are just the third English league side ever to lose five successive home league games without scoring.
They created very little against a below par Arsenal side today. Not encouraging for Foxes fans.

Looks like Arsenal have found a temporary solution for the injury problem. I just hope it doesn't make us think we don't need a striker.
Yves
This result papers over a gaping crack for Arsenal today, but unfortunately you don't get to play Leicester every week.
Rob, Gateshead
Leicester City 0-2 Arsenal
All over. Not pretty for Arsenal, but they get the three points they wanted.
Leicester remain rooted in the bottom three.

David Raya makes a fine catch from a Leicester corner. He has had very little to do today.

No striker, Meri-no problem

The finish is brilliant. Mikel Merino holding his line at the right time and he just gets onto it.
Arsenal don't have a recognised striker but with Merino in this kind of form, who needs one?
Leicester City 0-2 Arsenal
We will have four minutes added time.
The home stands at the King Power are rapidly emptying.

A reminder that Mikel Merino is no novice when it comes to scoring important goals - he netted for the winner for Spain against Germany in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals last summer, celebrating with a little lap of the corner flag.
He broke out the same celebration twice today, in front of the delighted away fans who have been chanting his name non-stop for the last 10 minutes.

Could Merino be the new Giroud? He might have to be.

That assist was Leandro Trossard's final action today. He makes way for Kieran Tierney.

A swift Arsenal counter, Riccardo Calafiori playing a perfect ball out wide to Leandro Trossard, whose low cross from the left is tucked away at the back post by Mikel Merino.
A striker's finish from the midfielder turned forward, who has changed this game in Arsenal's favour today.

Jorginho is booked for the fourth time this season for a cynical trip on Patson Daka.
Leicester City 0-1 Arsenal
Double change for Leicester - Facundo Buonanotte replaces Bobby Decordova-Reid, while defensive midfielder Wilfrid Ndidi makes way for striker Patson Daka.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has to go for this one.

Crystal Palace have won just one of their last 20 Premier League games against Everton (D9 L10), beating them 3-1 at Selhurst Park in December 2021.
Following their 2-1 win at Goodison Park in September, Everton are looking to complete the league double over Crystal Palace for the first time since 2004-05, when the Eagles were relegated and the Toffees earned their highest ever Premier League finish (4th).
Everton are winless in their last seven league games away at London clubs (D3 L4), scoring just two goals in this run. Their last league win in the capital, however, was at Crystal Palace in November 2023 (3-2).
After their 1-0 win at Brighton last month, Everton are looking to pick up back-to-back away wins in the Premier League for the first time since a run of four from October to December 2023 – the second win in that spell was a 3-2 triumph at Crystal Palace.
After only winning three of their first 18 Premier League games of the season (D8 L7), Crystal Palace have since won four of their last six in the competition (D1 L1). The Eagles have also kept three clean sheets in their last four league games, as many as their previous 15 beforehand.
Only Ipswich and Southampton (both 1) have won fewer Premier League home games this season than Crystal Palace (2). Indeed, assuming three points-per-win all-time, only in 1973-74 (10), 1997-98 (4), and 2016-17 (7) have the Eagles recorded fewer points from their opening 12 home matches of a league campaign than their 11 this term.
Everton’s David Moyes has lost all three of his managerial meetings with Oliver Glasner, twice against Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2021-22 UEFA Europa League and once against Crystal Palace in last season’s Premier League. Only three managers have won each of their first four games against David Moyes in the Scot’s managerial career: Claudio Ranieri (first 6), Alex Ferguson (4), and Manuel Pellegrini (4).
Jean Philippe-Mateta (34 goals) needs one more goal to move level with Christian Benteke (35) as Crystal Palace’s second-top Premier League scorer (Wilfried Zaha top with 68). The Frenchman has scored six goals in five Premier League games in 2025, more than he managed in his first 19 appearances in the competition in 2024-25 before the turn of the year (4).
Daniel Muñoz has provided an assist in both of Crystal Palace’s last two Premier League games; the only players to assist in 3+ successive appearances in the competition for the Eagles are Chris Armstrong (3 in 1994), Wilfried Zaha (4 in 2016), Christian Benteke (3 in 2018), and Eberechi Eze (3 in 2025).
Iliman Ndiaye has scored four of Everton’s last five Premier League away goals; the last player to score more away goals in a season for the Toffees was Dominic Calvert-Lewin in 2020-21 (9).
