  2. 'We need to keep improving'published at 17:21 British Summer Time 5 October 2019

    FT: Liverpool 2-1 Leicester

    Liverpool

    Liverpool matchwinner James Milner to BBC Match of the Day: "Delighted with the result. We always knew it was a tough game. In the first half there was not a lot in it but in the second half we missed a number of chances. The great thing is we will always try and find a way to win. You could see second half there were a few tired legs out there."

    On Liverpool's title chances: "We cannot afford too many slip-ups. We need to keep improving. We have had a solid start but there is still a long way to go. The points we got last year were not enough so we have to just keep going."

  3. 'Wesley was a colossus'published at 17:20 British Summer Time 5 October 2019

    Norwich 1-5 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa manager Dean Smith, speaking to MOTD: "It was a really good performance, one that has been coming because our performances have deserved more points than we have got. It is nice it all came together.

    "To come here and win as convincingly as we did is really pleasing."

    On striker Wesley, who scored twice: "He is a young player. He has been in Belgium for a year or two and Slovakia before that. It is a new group of players and a new style and a big price. I had no doubts to put him in. I thought he was a colossus up front. The good thing for us is there is a lot of improvements to make and the potential is massive. "

  4. 'We are not getting carried away'published at 17:18 British Summer Time 5 October 2019

    Burnley 1-0 Everton

    Burnley

    Burnley boss Sean Dyche: "I thought the mentality was good from my players again. The first half was tight, two sides trying to open each other and not give much away. When they went down to 10 men, Everton went more expansive and threw caution to the wind and then it was about game management.

    "It is great for the club but we are certainly not getting carried away. The players deserve a lot of credit. It was a tough season last season and we have learnt from that."

  5. 'Difficult to repeat miracles on a weekly basispublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 5 October 2019

    Norwich 1-5 Aston Villa

    Norwich City

    Norwich manager Daniel Farke, speaking to MOTD: "Disappointing result without any doubt. If I am honest it is really difficult to repeat miracles on a weekly basis. We had too many problems for this game to be really there and gain some points.

    "We had to play today without 10 players. There were also so many players on the pitch who not able to train and had painkillers because we had no other options. Two or three key players didn't have the best game and if this comes together you will not be competitive.

    "We have some time to get some injured players back and we need them. For one or two games it is possible to play without 10 or 11 players - I hope we have a few back otherwise it will be difficult to be competitive."

    Watford 0-0 Sheffield United

    Sheffield United

    Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder: "When you come away from home in the Premier League and play the way we did it is good, but we couldn't really find that final pass.

    "If we can't win then we need to take something from these games. The balance of the team is good with the amount of possession and chances we had, the players were outstanding.

    "I think we're a couple of points light, but nine points is a decent start. We've got a nice tasty game against Arsenal to look forward to after the international break."

    On goalkeeper Dean Henderson: "He's a really good keeper and he's reacted the right way. He was always going to play and he was pivotal to the clean sheets we had last year.

    "It's a tough old changing room but he's come through it. There's no hiding place at international level or the likes of Manchester United, so that's what he's got to get used to."

  9. 'Terrific performance'published at 17:09 British Summer Time 5 October 2019

    Norwich 1-5 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa manager Dean Smith, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a terrific performance. All of the lads played well and we were really, really disciplined. It was a really comfortable win. I am just disappointed with their goal even though I didn't see it because I had to nip to the toilet.

    "Wesley was a handful today. We showed what we saw in him when we brought him in to the football club.

    "We have deserved a lot more than we have got so far so I am pleased."

    West Ham United v Crystal Palace (17:30 BST)

    Alistair Mann
    Match of the Day commentator

    Both these sides can feel justifiably encouraged by their early-season form - the Hammers are unbeaten in their last six and Palace have just one defeat in their last five.

    Barring one dramatic exception to the rule both have been defensively sound too. Putting their 5-0 drubbing by Manchester City aside, West Ham have conceded only four times, Palace just three - if you exclude their 4-0 capitulation at Spurs.

    Although the hosts are unbeaten in eight Premier League meetings with Palace, three of the last four have ended in draws; perhaps with such statistical similarities of late, it may again be the likeliest outcome?

  12. 'We had to dig deep'published at 17:02 British Summer Time 5 October 2019

    FT: Liverpool 2-1 Leicester

    Liverpool

    Liverpool goalscorer James Milner for Sky Sports: "We had to dig deep and find the points. The boys have done it time and time again. There was a few tired legs and it was about getting the result. Leicester are a very good side. We knew it was going to be tough. Now we have a break and have to hope people come back from the international break fully fit."

    On the penalty: "Practice is what you need in those moments. You have to just concentrate and stay calm. I was just trying to concentrate. As long as you stay in the moment then you will be fine. Anytime it's in the last minutes, it is important."

    James Milner’s penalty was the 34th time Liverpool have scored a last-minute/injury-time winning goal in a Premier League match – at least nine more than any other side.

    Four Premier League goals scored by Irish players today (plus a red card), that can't happen too often these days.

    Burnley 1-0 Everton

    Burnley

    Burnley matchwinner Jeff Hendrick, speaking to Sky Sports: "The first half was difficult. The sending-off, you have to be patient, move the ball a bit more and tire them a bit out and you will have chances eventually.

    "The positivity has been key. We had a bad start last season but after Christmas we turned it around and we've not looked back from there. We are taking each match as it comes."

  16. 'We didn't see this coming'published at 16:58 British Summer Time 5 October 2019

    FT: Norwich 1-5 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane, speaking to Sky Sports: "We felt we were very close to a very good result and today we were fantastic.

    "We probably didn't see this coming ourselves. We were fully deserving of the three points."

    On the celebrations of Prince William and Prince George at Carrow Road: "That is fantastic to see. I am sure he will be one of many Villa fans happy today."
