Newcastle 1-0 Wolves

Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton
Finally, Brighton take a hit at goal. It's a lovely move, kickstarted by Georginio Rutter as he flicks the ball over the top for Yankuba Minteh to run onto.
The Gambia international speeds towards goal but he can't beat Djordje Petrovic at the keeper's near post.
Better from the Seagulls.

Better from Aston Villa as they work the ball to Matty Cash on the right side of the box but his shot is blocked by a sliding James Garner.

Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan nods wide at the back post from an inswinging cross but only half a chance really.

Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveI think Lamare Bogarde might end up at right-back. I would tuck John McGinn alongside Youri Tielemans as Aston Villa are getting the run around at the minute.

Have to say Danny Welbeck is becoming anonymous this season. Hate to say it, but I think it's time to pass the torch on. Brighton players have been getting way too easily injured. Disappointing.
Abdul, Brighton
Strong start from Wolves but Newcastle have scored. There’s a theme developing this year. We are really struggling to put the ball in the net. Need our first point of the season!

Former Manchester City defender on Final ScoreThe price of it and the nature of it, in terms of Alexander Isak leaving and so on, is big. This is one of the most exciting players in European football, so to have him there now could be amazing for them.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Sunderland
Big chance for Crystal Palace as Yeremy Pino is picked out by a superb defence-splitting pass. He has just Robin Roefs to beat but prods his effort just wide.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:36 BST
Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton
David Brooks falls in a heap in the Brighton box under a challenge from Joel Veltman, but the penalty appeals are waved away as Brighton counter.
That's brought to an end by Marcos Senesi, who receives a yellow card for his trouble.

Fulham 0-0 Leeds
Leeds full-back Jayden Bogle runs forward and shoots from an ambitious angle. It's blocked and goes out for a corner.

Everton 0-0 Aston Villa
Matty Cash is booked for Aston Villa. Not ideal when he's defending against Jack Grealish.

Fulham 0-0 Leeds
There's been 11 fouls and two shots (one of them blocked) so far. Yep.

More danger from Jack Grealish as the ball is worked to him on the right side of the box. Three players are quickly on him but he gets a cross off that is deflected behind. From the delivery, Michael Keane heads just over.

Who needs Isak? There's a new striker on the block.

Amazing what Newcastle will do with a number nine on the pitch. Welcome to the Premier League, Nick.

Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton
Lewis Dunk wipes out Evanilson without getting anything on the ball to become the first name in the referee's book.
But David Brooks is a quick second as he slides in to stop Yankuba Minteh from countering.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Sunderland
Oliver Glasner is very animated on the touchline. I'm not sure how happy he has been with Crystal Palace's performance. They've been solid but a little lacking in the final third.

Match Facts
Just one of the eight Premier League meetings between Brentford and Chelsea have been won by the home side (D3 L4), a 2-1 win for the Blues in December 2024.
Brentford have won three Premier League matches against Chelsea but all of them have been away from home – at home, they are winless in four against the Blues (D3 L1).
This is Chelsea’s fourth London derby in four Premier League matches this season, making them just the second side in Football League history to start a league campaign with four consecutive London derbies, after Crystal Palace in 2021-22. Having won their last two, the Blues could win three successive league derbies for the first time since February 2024 (run of 4).
After only losing two of their final 10 league games last season (W5 D3), Brentford have lost two of their first three in 2025-26 (W1). At home, though, the Bees have won three of their last four league games (L1).
Chelsea have won as many as two of their first three Premier League games for only the second time in the last seven seasons (also two out of three in 2021-22).
Brentford have lost three of their last five Premier League matches (W1 D1), as many as they’d lost in their previous 14 combined (W8 D3 L3).
Chelsea kept just four clean sheets in their first 26 Premier League games under Enzo Maresca but have since kept nine in their last 15, conceding only eight goals. Since the start of this clean sheet run (25 February), the Blues have the most clean sheets in the top-flight.
Enzo Fernández has been involved in 14 goals in his last 18 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea (5 goals, 9 assists). Since the start of last season, the only Premier League player with more assists in all competitions than Fernández (18) is Mohamed Salah (24).
Despite only playing 181 minutes in the Premier League this season, only one player has made more dribbles than Chelsea’s Estêvão (18). His nine against Fulham made him the youngest player on record (since 2006-07) with that many in a game for the Blues (18 years, 128 days) and youngest of any player since a 17-year-old Raheem Sterling for Liverpool vs Stoke in October 2012.
Brentford forward Igor Thiago has applied 132 high intensity pressures in the opposition half this season so far, 27 more than any other player, and he also leads the way high intensity pressures in the final third of the pitch (88).
