    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Arsenal

    Now Riccardo Calafiori is on a booking after pulling back Callum Hudson-Odoi, it will surely be something Forest's wingers will look to exploit.

    Tottenham 0-0 Man City

    Ooooh.

    First real chance for Manchester City as they do some good work down the right and it's cut back for Erling Haaland who doesn't quite connect with his shot and it's a simple gather for Guglielmo Vicario.

  3. 'What a start for Ipswich'published at 19:38 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Wow. Patrick Dorgu tracks the run. The communication between Andre Onana and Dorgu must be non-existent. Credit to Jaden Philogene.

    I have got no idea why Onana is running out to that position. Dorgu has got it under control - Onana should not come there. Stay in your six yard box.

    Credit to Philogene. What a start for Ipswich.

    Brentford 0-0 Everton

    First two shots of the game officially to Everton, but neither really a chance - James Garner and Idrissa Gueye off target.

    An absolute disaster for Manchester United. A ball is launched forwards rather aimlessly from Ipswich and there looks to be absolutely no danger, but Patrick Dorgu slides his backpass past the advancing Andre Onana and Jaden Philogene is left with the simplest task of tapping into an empty net from four yards out.

    Brentford 0-0 Everton

    Everton are without Abdoulaye Doucoure tonight.

    Since the beginning of the 2022-23 season, the Toffees have won just one of their 22 Premier League matches in which he didn't feature, posting a win percentage of just 4.5%, compared to 33.8% with him.

    Good to see that Liverpool haven't played yet and the rivals fans big book of excuses is already well open. Haha

  9. 'Son probably needs a break'published at 19:34 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Tottenham 0-0 Man City

    Aaron Lennon
    Former Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Tottenham have one eye on Europe.

    Son has played a lot of football, he has been one of the first names on the team sheet. He is not getting any younger and he probably needs a break. It is a good time to give him a rest.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 19:34 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Arsenal

    Two yellow cards in quick succession. First Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori fouls Callum Hudson-Odoi.

    And then Forest's Nikola Milenkovic stops Gabriel taking a free-kick.

  11. Postpublished at 19:34 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Tottenham 0-0 Man City

    The injury crisis at Tottenham goes on.

    They have named their second-youngest starting XI in a Premier League match (23y 243d), with tonight being their youngest since September 1992 v Sheffield Wednesday (23y 97d).

    There was an absolute downpour in Manchester an hour ago, and it's still raining at kick-off so it might be tricky conditions for the goalkeepers.

    Ipswich have the first chance inside the opening 60 seconds with Liam Delap, with 10 Premier League goals to his name this season, shooting across goal from the left side of the penalty area, but pulling his effort wide.

    Town were wasteful and punished in a 4-1 loss against Tottenham at the weekend, will it be the same again tonight?

  13. Postpublished at 19:33 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Brentford 0-0 Everton

    Brentford have done most of the attacking in the early stages.

  14. Postpublished at 19:32 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Tottenham 0-0 Man City

    Tottenham get off to a bright start and look to create a chance early doors but Manchester City have nine men in their penalty box to defend.

  15. 'Arsenal lack that ruthlessness'published at 19:31 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Arsenal

    Izzy Christiansen
    Former England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The way Arsenal play, they're really good at 75% of the build-up. They become robotic in possession that's got them to where they are. It is the last piece, in the final third - they lack that ruthlessness.

  16. Postpublished at 19:31 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Arsenal

    Forest are straight on the attack but Anthony Elanga's cross is over everyone.

  17. KICK-OFFpublished at 19:30 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Dominik Szoboszlai is a monster in midfield.

    He collapsed at the end of the game [against Manchester City] and Liverpool were in cruise control.

    Forest will fancy themselves.

    Forest will sit in, frustrate Arsenal, and with that counter-attack they can hurt Arsenal.

  20. 'Liverpool is a settled side'published at 19:28 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    There's nothing better than a settled team.

    As a player, when you walk in and nine of that team picks itself every week it will be settled environment.

    Slot has made small tweaks, but Liverpool is a settled side.
