Just a couple of efforts at goals will do us. There was a serious lack of quality in the first half.

The second half starts with Jack Harrison whipping another delivery into Forest's penalty area. Harrison has proved a very useful supply line for the Toffees this afternoon.
Southampton 0-0 Aston Villa
Tyler Dibling comes on for Paul Onuachu for the second half.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Everton
Back under way in Nottingham.

The TV cameras at the City Ground have just zoomed in on a fan who appeared to be asleep in their seat.
This can only get better.
The teams are on their way back out.

There will definitely be Villa frustration. They’re the dominant team, and showing far more quality on the ball.
But for all the possession and the shots, they’re yet to really test Southampton keeper Aaron Ramsdale.

John McGinn's warming up at half-time for Villa.
How long before we see the Scot in the second half?
Brighton 1-1 Leicester
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy had just five touches in the first half.
HT: Nottingham Forest 0-0 Everton
Forest need to get Chris Wood into the game more.
The scorer of 18 Premier League goals this season had just nine touches in the first half.

If Brian is right about shall we say a robust approach from Southampton lets hope the ref does his job. Villa are representing England on Tuesday in Europe and need to be able to put out their best team. Spiteful fouls from a jealous Saints doesn’t help anyone.

FT: Manchester City 5-2 Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner told TNT Sports: “Of course we are very disappointed, especially when you start like we did and go two goals up.
“But the pressure increased and our defensive structure was not on our top level today, and a team like Manchester City find those small gaps.
“It gives us confidence as we know we can score goals, but we need to be more compact and we will learn from this game.
“Sometimes you need a tough defeat, conceding many goals, to learn. Every team misses their captain [Marc Guehi], but it’s not just about the back three.”
FT: Manchester City 5-2 Crystal Palace
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola told TNT Sports: “Kevin [De Bruyne] with the free-kick changed the momentum.
“We started really well but they’re the best team on set-pieces, and we’re not the tallest team. If you see the chances we had we could’ve scored eight or nine.
“With [James] McAtee the quality is there, we know it. He could’ve scored a hat-trick or four goals, because the chances were so clear. It’s not easy when you don’t play regularly to have the composure, but I’m sure we can rely on him.”

When was the last time Saints were 0-0 or at least not losing at half time? A novelty this season for sure!

Not that long ago, in fairness.
April 2, when the Saints took a 1-0 lead in at the break against Crystal Palace.

Considering Nottingham Forest have been off it, Everton will probably feel they should have done more in the first half.
There has been nothing to talk about from the first half.

Hopefully Elanga comes on at HT to get Forest going.

HT: Nottingham Forest 0-0 Everton
Eleven attempts in that first half, including six on target. But no outstanding moment.
Man of the match so far?

All the transfer talk about Saints have focused on the likes of Ramsdale and Dibling but Matheus Fernandes has been outstanding in a losing team. Could be a steal for someone.

Brighton 1-1 Leicester
Brighton took a deserved lead through Joao Pedro's penalty after Conor Coady's handball offence had been spotted by VAR.
But Leicester equalised through Stephy Mavididi, as the Foxes ended a run of 885 minutes without a goal in the Premier League.
Brighton 1-1 Leicester
Leicester almost score again. Kasey McAteer's looping header following a free-kick from deep on the left would have crept in under the crossbar, only to be pushed over by an athletic leap from Bart Verbruggen.
