Joe Aribo (21 mins)
The visitors take the lead with the first real effort of the game!
Ipswich goalkeeper Arijanet Muric should really have done better, however, as a cross is deflected and loops into the air to Joe Aribo, whose shot is straight at Muric but he fails to make the save.
Bottom-of-the-table Southampton have the lead.

Bournemouth are knocking on the door!
Wonderful play by Antoine Semenyo who is under pressure from a couple of Liverpool players but still manages to get his shot away.
It crashes against the upright...and Liverpool breathe a sigh of relief.

I think Ruud van Nistelrooy will walk from Leicester. Club promised him signings and he can't invest in the team. Through no fault of him we are going down and I'm not sure he wants that on his record. It's a shame John Rudkin will not follow him.

Everton 2-0 Leicester
Everton defender Jake O'Brien has the ball in the back of the net but the flag goes straight up. He's well offside as he pokes in a team-mate's header down from close range.
No need for VAR and the lines etc.

Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool defender on Final Score
Liverpool were under a bit of pressure early on and they have worked out how to play against Bournemouth and are starting to get a bit more of a foothold.
It has taken the sting out of Bournemouth.

Everton left-back Vitalii Mykolenko is offside as he gets the ball and swings in a cross but Abdoulaye Doucoure nods it wide anyway.
Ipswich 0-0 Southampton
Julio Enciso has looked lively on his first start for Ipswich, looking to make things happen.
He's a touch greedy though with the ball on the edge of the box as he goes for a shot that isn't really on and it is blocked.
Newcastle 0-0 Fulham
Fulham defender Joachim Andersen clotheslines Alexander Isak and gets a deserved yellow card.

A lovely cross-field ball by Ryan Gravenberch finds fellow Dutchman Cody Gakpo who gets forward and creates space for himself before testing Kepa. That's Liverpool's best chance.

It's breathless stuff.
The pace Bournemouth play at is fanatic. There's more control from Liverpool.

I believe Dyche would have got enough points to keep Everton up and was surprised he was sacked. They must have already had the nod from David Moyes who is one of the few who could get more from a pretty average group of players. Looks like they're well on the way to another win and lower mid-table mediocrity beckons.

Wild attempt from Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy as he lashes one high and wide from outside the box.
Ipswich 0-0 Southampton
Southampton have settled now after some nervous passing early on and are starting to put together some reasonable attacking moves.
Not much more to say about this one than that, really. A bit scrappy overall.
Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool
A sloppy clearance by Trent Alexander-Arnold lets in Justin Kluivert and Alisson has to make a save. Alexander-Arnold has been far from convincing so far.

Antoine Semenyo and Milos Kerkez work well together. When they attack they fly down the right-hand-side.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is going to have some questions today.

Everton's opener was the fourth-fastest goal in Premier League history (10.18 seconds), and the quickest ever scored by a home team in the competition.
Newcastle 0-0 Fulham
Toon midfielder Sandro Tonali pounces onto a loose ball in the box but runs it behind for a goal-kick.

The Leicester fans made the trip all the way and will be wishing they hadn't bothered.
Chants of "we want Rudkin out" and "we're going down" coming from their direction at the moment.

You can't legally watch the 3pm games, Ken...

If I was a Leicester fan I'd be hitting the pub. It's game over, might as well watch it in the warm with a pint and some crisps.

Having lost three of their first four Premier League home games against Aston Villa (D1), Wolves have now lost just one of their last five against them at Molineux (W3 D1).
Aston Villa won the reverse fixture 3-1 at Villa Park – they’ve not done the league double over Wolves since the 2003-04 campaign.
Wolves picked up seven points in their first three Premier League games under Vitor Pereira (W2 D1) but have since lost four in a row. They’ve already lost five consecutively once this season, under previous manager Gary O’Neil – the only team to have separate runs of 5+ defeats in a row under different managers in a season and survive relegation was West Ham in 2006-07 (Alan Pardew & Alan Curbishley).
Aston Villa are yet to lose a Premier League match under Unai Emery against a side starting the day in the drop zone (W13 D5), while overall Emery has lost just one out of 29 games against sides in 18th, 19th or 20th, losing 3-2 to Southampton with Arsenal in December 2018.
Wolves have shipped 19 set piece goals (excl. pens) this season, the most of any Premier League side. The earliest a side has conceded 20 set piece goals in a single campaign is 25 games (Tottenham in 2007-08).
In 23 Premier League games this season, Wolves have conceded 52 goals. At 2.26 goals against per game, this is their worst average in a league season since 1932-33 (96 in 42 games, 2.29).
Aston Villa won 22 of the first 25 Premier League games in which they led at half-time under Unai Emery (D1 L2) but have gone on to win just four of their last nine (D4 L1), including a 1-1 draw last time out against West Ham.
Wolves have conceded 303 fouls in the Premier League this season, with only Bournemouth committing more (309). The 20 fouls they conceded against Arsenal was their most in a top-flight game since May 2023 against Aston Villa (also 20).
Only Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke (237) has made more runs into the opposition penalty area in the Premier League this season than Wolves’ Jørgen Strand Larsen (210), with 80 of Strand Larsen’s runs targeted by a pass, the most of any player.
Ollie Watkins has been involved in 15+ Premier League goals in each of his last three seasons (21 in 2022-23, 32 in 2023-24, 15 in 2024-25), with 10 goals and five assists in the current campaign. He’s one of three Aston Villa players to achieve that in three consecutive seasons, after Dwight Yorke (1995-96 to 1997-98) and Gabriel Agbonlahor (2007-08 to 2009-10).
