Sunderland 0-0 Bournemouth
Now it's Sunderland who come forward through Enzo Le Fee. He cuts it back for Chemsdine Talbi in the box but Bournemouth have enough bodies back.

This may well be Manchester City's worst start to a campaign for five years but Pep Guardiola has said that overall he is, "pleased with the season so far" and his "players are working hard to improve every day."
With six Premier League titles under his belt at City and numerous other trophies, is that a little bit of expectation management?

Former Man City goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
Whatever you do you're scrutinised. Pep gave people minutes [against Bayer Leverkusen], he believes in his squad but it was a disappointing performance and you can't ignore it.
But the best thing about the best teams is that they learn from mistakes really quickly and that's what they've got to do today - another big test and they can't afford to keep making these mistakes.
Brentford v Burnley (15:00 GMT)

Image source, Getty ImagesBurnley sat above Brentford on goal difference after five games of this season, but the gap between the teams is now six places and six points.
Scott Parker's side have slipped back into the relegation places after a hat-trick of defeats, and they could suffer four losses in a row for the first time since between February and March 2024 under Vincent Kompany.
The Clarets have mustered a total of 98 shots in 12 games this term and are the only side to attempt fewer than 100 efforts at goal.
Their current ratio of 8.2 shots per game is the lowest on record in a Premier League campaign, since Opta started recording that data in 1997-98, and history tells us that a season normally ends with relegation for teams who struggle to generate shooting opportunities.
Man City v Leeds (15:00 GMT)
Manchester City have had a bad week, with defeats to Newcastle and Bayer Leverkusen. Boss Pep Guardiola made 10 changes for the Champions League game with Leverkusen which was a strange thing to do, and it backfired massively because now his team have got work to do to make the knockout stage automatically.
Before the international break, their recent form suggested they had turned the corner and were going to go on a run to really push leaders Arsenal.
Two defeats in a week in two different competitions tells a different story, though. Even so, I don't see City having any problems against Leeds.
Man City v Leeds (15:00 GMT)
This is Manchester City's worst start to a season for five years and their second-worst under Pep Guardiola. City are third in the Premier League table with 22 points from 12 games, which is just a point fewer than they had at this stage last season.
Interestingly, City did win the title with just 20 points after 12 games in 2020-21, but there was arguably not a title rival like Arsenal to catch that season because Tottenham and Liverpool were at the top with just 25 points.
The most points they have had at this stage under Guardiola is 34 during the title-winning 2017-18 season.

Sunderland v Bournemouth (15:00 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesBournemouth have won just five points from 18 available on the road in the Premier League so far this season – with their only victory at Tottenham – and head coach Andoni Iraola believes his team need to be "especially good" if they are going to triumph at Sunderland.
"We cannot see Sunderland like a promoted team," said the Spaniard. "I think they have shown they are a really good team and they have a lot of experience with players coming from big clubs. They know what they're doing and what it takes to win in the Premier League."
Brentford v Burnley (15:00 GMT)

Image source, Getty ImagesBrentford head into this weekend in the relative comfort of mid-table - five points clear of the relegation zone and five points below the top four.
Two defeats from their past three league outings doesn't look great on paper, but both losses came away from home and they only failed to snatch a point at Brighton last Saturday because top scorer Igor Thiago's 94th-minute penalty was saved with the Bees trailing 2-1.
The Brazilian scored his ninth top-flight goal of the season from the spot earlier in that match and only Erling Haaland, with 14 goals, has more in the division.
Thiago is vying to reach the 10-goal mark after just 13 matches and would become the quickest Brentford player to reach double figures in the division, beating Ivan Toney's previous record of 15 games set in 2022-23.

This could so easily be a repeat of the score when Man City last played Leeds at home, when it ended 7-0. City will be angry today, after their last two games, and we know Leeds run out of puff after 30 minutes.

Natalie Bromley, Fan writer
Something has happened to Burnley over the past couple of weeks. We have turned into a very passive side with no real intent to win a game.
When we don't have the ball, we lack the intensity and drive to get in the opposition's faces and win the ball back. We just allow the play to continue and try to defend the attack that the other side are building.
Scott Parker is a naturally cautious manager. We know that, but he has to step out of his comfort zone and fire his players up - otherwise we're just waving the white flag and whimpering back down to the Championship. We have the talent, we just don't have the drive at the moment.
I ask Parker this question: what is your side's identity? What does the class of 2026 want to be known for? If you don't know the answer to that question, you have got work to do.

After winning five consecutive Premier League games against Newcastle between March 2015 and April 2018, Everton have since won just four of their last 14 against the Magpies (D4 L6).
Newcastle are winless in their last four Premier League games against Everton (D2 L2), having won five of their previous six against the Toffees (L1).
This is the first time Everton are facing Newcastle in the Premier League while above them in the table since a 3-1 away loss in February 2022 (Everton 16th, Newcastle 19th). Indeed, the Toffees are winless in their last six against the Magpies when above them (D2 L4).
Everton have won 2-0 against Fulham and 1-0 at Manchester United in their last two Premier League games – they’ve not won three in a row with a clean sheet each time since April 2024.
Having beaten Man City last time out, Newcastle are looking for consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since a run of five in March/April last season. However, away from home the Magpies are winless in nine Premier League games (D4 L5), last having a longer run between December 2015 and August 2017 (12).
Newcastle have lost their last three Premier League away games, opening the scoring in both of the last two. Only three teams have lost 3+ consecutive away games despite opening the scoring in the competition – Middlesbrough (September 2008), Leicester (October 2022) and Brentford (November 2024).
Only Arsenal and Crystal Palace (3 each) have conceded fewer first half goals than Newcastle (4) in the Premier League this season, with the Magpies the only side yet to concede in the opening 30 minutes of games.
Against no side does Everton’s Jack Grealish have more Premier League assists than he has against Newcastle (4). Grealish also has the joint-most assists of any player in the Premier League this season (4), though all four came in his first three appearances in August.
After a run of 16 games without a goal, Harvey Barnes has now scored three times in his last two, netting both in Newcastle’s 2-1 win over Manchester City last time out.
Everton’s Jack Grealish (36) and Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães (27) have won more fouls than any other players in the Premier League this season. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s Dan Burn has conceded more fouls than any other defender (23).
