Image source, Getty ImagesFulham are hungrier and West Ham are way too passive. Lopetegui must be starting to realise the scale of his task. West Ham are a lazy team mentally and physically. 60-years of complacency to break. OK is simply not good enough.

Man City 2-1 Brentford
Ooooh, Manchester City have a corner and Jack Grealish isn't far away on the volley but Brentford clear with around five minutes remaining of this first half.
Mateo Kovacic is into the book for a foul on Yoane Wissa.

That was quite something from Matz Sels. A lucky boy.
The home fans insisted it was over the line but the referee's watch said otherwise.

Matz Sels wouldn't have slept for a month!
Sels nearly sold the pies. The header was too high for Diaz and he loops a header up in the air - it is a standard catch for a 12-year-old goalkeeper nevermind a Premier League goalkeeper.
How it doesnt go over the line I don't know. Sels, you are awfully lucky.

Image source, Getty ImagesLiverpool's Jack Balmer was the last player to score a top flight hat-trick in three successive games - and that was in 1946.
Dixie Dean is someone else who did it.
Erling Haaland is one goal away. Manchester City have Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Can you imagine if Pep Guardiola took Haaland off and he was still on two.
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
You couldn't do that again if you tried! Matz Sels has made some good saves for Forest but he drops a simple header from Luis Diaz, it bounces between his legs and he somehow scoops it up from on - but crucially not over - the line!
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

The ball from Trent was superb. Mac Allister's header on target, but Sels got down well - a crucial save.
Liverpool are building a little bit of momentum now.
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Liverpool are ramping it up as we edge towards the interval, Alexis Mac Allister somehow evades attention inside the area to meet a left-wing cross with a decent header and it's well pushed out by Matz Sels.
Can Forest cling on?
Man City 2-1 Brentford
Forget Pep Guardiola's tiki-taka football and passing 100 times to get to goal.
It was Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson who assisted Erling Haaland for that goal with a big booted ball over the top.
Nice little bonus for those of you with the Brazilian goalkeeper in your fantasy teams.
Brighton 0-0 Ipswich
Image source, Getty ImagesBrighton have three bites of the cherry but still can't score.
Georginio Rutter and Kaoru Mitoma are denied by Arijanet Muric in quick succession, before Axel Tuanzebe is finally able to clear.
Ipswich hanging in there.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt's an unbelievable finish.
Erling Haaland recognises that the ball in behind was short and he uses his body to get in between the ball and the defender and then bullies him.
He's just making the Premier League look so easy and it's not an easy league to play in.
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Trent Alexander-Arnold almost scores direct from a corner! Whipped in, near post and Matz Sels has to scrabble to fist over the bar.
Man City 2-1 Brentford

It is incredible.
Erling Haaland's numbers are phenomenal. It is like he's playing a different game.
Erling Haaland (32 mins)
Image source, Getty ImagesWell for all of Brentford's good work they have slipped up there.
Erling Haaland is all on his own just past the halfway line and you can't leave him one-on-one like that. He loses Ethan Pinnock and slots home.
Surely not another hat-trick?
A reminder that no one in the Premier League era has scored three successive hat-tricks.
Man City 1-1 Brentford
Simon Stone

Erling Haaland's scoring statistics are ridiculous.
He has now scored 98 goals in all competitions for Manchester City.
Haaland has been here two seasons and a month (or four-and-a-half games depending on how you look at it).
I tended to think Sergio Aguero was the master goalscorer but Haaland will smash the Argentine's club record of 260 if he stays here for another four years at the current rate of scoring..
Fulham 1-0 West Ham
There's not been much of a reaction from the Hammers to going behind but Mohammed Kudus has been a livewire down their left. He beats his man and puts in a fine cross but there's nobody in there sniffing the danger.
A chance for Fullkrug, that one.
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

Image source, Getty ImagesI don't think it has been as slick and fluid as what Arne Slot would have wanted.
You have got to give Forest credit, they've been aggressive and they have got under Liverpool's skin a little bit.
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest

Arne Slot looks at the screen of a tablet from someone on his bench. I wonder what he's seen on there - something tactical presumably.
Or maybe his coach is just playing Football Manager. "I've just signed Martin Zubimendi."
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Virgil van Dijk remains a threat in the air, flicking a corner just wide at the newly colossal Anfield Road End. Forest have got enough to worry about without shipping a cheap goal from a corner.
Fulham 1-0 West Ham

Bournemouth are winless in five Premier League meetings with Chelsea (D2 L3), having won three of their previous four against the Blues prior to this (L1).
Chelsea have lost just one of their seven Premier League away games against Bournemouth (W4 D2), with three of their four defeats in the competition against the Cherries coming at Stamford Bridge.
Bournemouth are unbeaten in all three of their Premier League games so far this season (W1 D2) – they’ve never gone four without defeat from the start of a campaign in the competition before.
Bournemouth beat Everton 3-2 last time out, despite trailing 2-0 up to the 87th minute, the latest a team has come from 2+ goals down to win a Premier League game. It was the Cherries’ third win from 2+ goals behind since their return to the competition in 2022, more than any other team in that time.
Chelsea have won each of their last three Premier League away games, last having a longer run between February and April 2022 (4).
Chelsea have conceded at least once in each of their last 17 Premier League away games, shipping 36 goals in total in this run. Only once have they had a longer run without a clean sheet on the road in the competition, going 24 games between January 1993 and February 1994.
Both Bournemouth and Chelsea have scored a joint league-high four second half goals in the Premier League this season. All four of Bournemouth’s have been in the final five minutes of games (86th minute onwards), while all four of Chelsea’s came in their only away game so far against Wolves.
Chelsea’s Premier League win rate in August is 61.1%, their highest in any month excluding June/July, while it drops to 47.8% in September (their second-lowest). Excluding June and July, only Arsenal have a bigger such drop from one month to the next among ever-present sides in the competition (61.4% in October, 45.4% in November).
Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo has had more shots than any other Premier League player this season (17). Meanwhile, Semenyo (17 shots, 4 chances created) and teammate Marcus Tavernier (12 shots, 9 chances created) have been directly involved in 21 attempts so far, with only Kevin De Bruyne (23) being involved in more in the division.
As well as having the most assists so far (4), no player has created more big chances than Chelsea’s Cole Palmer in the Premier League this season (4). Palmer is averaging a goal (23) or assist (15) every 76 minutes in the competition for Chelsea, the second-best rate of any player with at least 1,000 minutes for a specific club (behind only Erling Haaland, one every 67 with Man City).
