Everton 3-0 Tottenham

Former Tottenham defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
The ball is behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin and he has to spin and swivel and connect with his left foot. But if that first touch is good he could shoot with his right foot.
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Southampton
So, Chris Wood was standing in an offside position when the ball was delivered and then made an attempt to head it. Nikola Milenkovic gets there ahead of Wood but Anthony Taylor decided it was offside.
Clear? No? I thought not!
Man Utd 1-2 Brighton
Alejandro Garnacho's first involvement is to charge down the left and then hit the floor without taking any real contact.
Garnacho looks hopefully back at referee Peter Bankes but is told to get back to his feet.
Everton 3-0 Tottenham

Everton have looked like they want it more, it can be as simple as that.
Which team is willing to run harder, fight longer, work harder, be more physical and get in the teams face. Everton have done all those things. It's everything you expect from a David Moyes side.

Should score!
Everton come again and Dominic Calvert-Lewin has space in the Tottenham box but curls wide on the turn.

Awful. Awful. Awful. Mess of a side littered with average footballers. Some of these players know they won’t be there long term and that affects effort and performance, it’s a vicious circle.
Nathan, Manchester
Man Utd 1-2 Brighton
Incredible effort from Amad Diallo to stop a counter-attack from Kaoru Mitoma and he eventually wins a free-kick for his troubles.
Everton 3-0 Tottenham
Everton break with Dominic Calvert-Lewin playing a ball in behind for Iliman Ndiaye.
He gets closed out but lays off for Vitalii Mykolenko, but his effort is miles over the bar.
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Southampton
The VAR has recommended Anthony Taylor to go and have a look at the screen for a "subjective offside". It's been chalked off and Nikola Milenkovic isn't happy.
Aaron Ramsdale's blushes are spared.

This back three does not work for United. Defending has been shocking and zero clean sheets.

That yellow card for Manuel Ugarte may have played a role in Ruben Amorim's decision making process as he turns to his bench.
Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo go off with Alejandro Garnacho and Toby Collyer coming on.

Manuel Ugarte is shown a yellow card for a challenge on Yasin Ayari.

Tottenham can cause you problems but Everton have dealt with them really well.

Brighton have won five of their last six Premier League meetings with Manchester United and each of their last two visits to Old Trafford.
Everton 3-0 Tottenham
James Maddison gets to the byline but his low cross is blocked behind for a corner.
Spurs have had nearly 74% of the ball in the second half, but are yet to have a shot.
Nikola Milenkovic (64 mins)
Image source, ReutersAn instant response!
Anthony Elanga puts in a free-kick and Nikola Milenkovic gets up well to flick a header towards goal. The defender turns away and puffs his cheeks because he thinks Aaron Ramsdale is going to catch it but he smacks it into his own goal.
The VAR is having a look for some reason.
Man Utd 1-2 Brighton
Dion Dublin
Former Man Utd striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
The ball is floated in and it's a lovely ball.
An in-swinger, the desire from Kaoru Mitoma on the far post is incredible.
Mitoma forces himself in front of Noussair Mazraoui - what a good finish that is.
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Southampton
It was very, very tight but the on-field decision stands and Southampton have their 14th goal of the season.
Kaoru Mitoma (60 mins)
Image source, Getty ImagesBrighton do have the lead again this time.
It was Kaoru Mitoma to Yankuba Minteh for the opening goal and the roles reverse for Brighton's second.
Minteh hangs a teasing ball to the far post and Mitoma stretches to turn it over the line.
Mitoma is now the all-time leading Japanese goalscorer in the Premier League.
Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

Amad Diallo and Lewis Dunk were both offering Peter Bankes the benefit of their knowledge of the rules as the referee was deciding what to do then.
As Bankes was going to the penalty area to restart play, Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler casually wandered over to Diogo Dalot, who was standing on the touchline waiting to come back on and whispered something to him.
Dalot pointed to the bottom of his foot.
I suspect Hurzeler was saying 'you made the most of that'.

Ipswich have lost just one of their last 28 home league games against Man City (W20 D7), winning the last four in a row. This is the first such meeting, however, since a 2-1 win in May 2001.
In what is the 30th different league campaign in which they’ve met, Manchester City are looking to complete the double over Ipswich for just the third time, previously doing so in 1961-62 and 1994-95.
Since a 3-2 win over Manchester United in September 1994, Ipswich Town are winless in their last six Premier League games against the reigning champions (D1 L5). They’ve conceded 21 goals in this run, while scoring just twice themselves.
Manchester City have won 20 of their last 21 Premier League games against promoted sides since losing 2-1 to Leeds United in April 2021, with the only exception in this run being a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest in February 2023.
Over their last two Premier League campaigns (2001-02 and this one), Ipswich have won just one of their 14 games played on a Sunday (D6 L7), winning 2-1 at Spurs earlier this season.
Manchester City have dropped 14 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, letting a 2-0 lead slip to draw 2-2 with Brentford last time out. It’s the most points the Citizens have dropped from ahead in a single campaign since 2008-09 (20).
Manchester City have conceded 29 goals in 21 Premier League games this season, with their average of 1.4 goals conceded per game their highest in a single campaign since 2007-08 (also 1.4).
Sammie Szmodics scored Ipswich’s goal in their 4-1 defeat against Man City in the reverse fixture. The last time a player for a promoted side scored home and away goals against the reigning champions in a campaign was 2017-18, with Newcastle’s Dwight Gayle and Huddersfield’s Laurent Depoitre doing so against Chelsea.
Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick in Man City’s 4-1 win against Ipswich earlier this season – the only player to score home and away hat-tricks against an opponent in the same campaign is Emmanuel Adebayor (for Arsenal vs Derby County in 2007-08).
Having failed to score in his first 11 Premier League games this season, Man City’s Phil Foden has netted four goals in his last five. He’s looking to score in three consecutive league games for the first time since October 2022.
