    Watford

    Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores speaking on Match of the Day: "We had our chances, we did not concede goals and we had a good team spirit and this is really good for the future.

    "Defending well is a good base, but I can feel when we are on the opposition's box the players are still a little bit nervous and they can sometimes take bad decisions.

    "I think the first win is getting closer, the difference with the other teams is not so big and I’m really confident for the future."

    Chelsea are in their best form in years despite their transfer ban this summer.

    They have won six consecutive games – including a win at Ajax in midweek. Victory today would make it their best winning streak in two and a half years.

    This is the best winning run of Frank Lampard’s fledgling managerial career.

    It’s a long shot but if they win and score three goals today they will have done that in four consecutive away top-flight games, a club record.

    “I remember having good runs of form as a player and maybe slightly relaxing in training in moments so the form eventually turned,” Lampard warned.

    “As I got older, I was more fearful of those good patches and any kind of relaxation around that so I push that now and the staff do too.”

    Burnley

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche on VAR after having a goal disallowed at Leicester City: "I'm still a believer in VAR, I think it's a good thing and I think eventually it will be more streamlined because of the advances in technology and the human side of it.

    "We soon forget the debate on goal-line technology, but within months it's instant and hardly impacts on anything.

    "The only question mark left for it in my opinion is the turnover of penalties. I think we all agree there's been a few that should have been turned over. They should be turned over if they genuinely think they're wrong."

    In his programme notes, Burnley boss Sean Dyche backs VAR despite it costing his side against Leicester but says it needs to be “honed and tweaked”.

    He’s not wrong.

    Anyway I’m more excited about the cut out and keep cards of Jeff Hendrick and Ade Akinbiyi.

  6. 'Bad decisions cost us'published at 17:21 British Summer Time 26 October 2019

    FT: Brighton 3-2 Everton

    Everton

    Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin: "We're unbelievably frustrated. To take the lead late on and not even come away with a draw...it's bad decision making towards the end of the game. We have to work hard to turn it around."

  7. 'Continuing fast-track education'published at 17:18 British Summer Time 26 October 2019

    After passing their latest exam at Ajax, Chelsea's young team continue their fast-track education with another difficult, and very different, test.

    As Frank Lampard talks about Wednesday's win in Amsterdam being "the blueprint" for his players, there are past standards to match at Turf Moor too, with Chelsea winning five and drawing one of six top-division visits since 1973.

    In August of that long-ago year, a goal by Frank Casper won the points for the Clarets, who've got a few ghosts to lay with Halloween approaching.

    For all their attributes, they've almost always struggled against the 'big six' with the much bigger resources, and on this same weekend a year ago lost 4-0 at home... to Chelsea.

    Moaning about half-and-half scarves has obviously become a cliche - but I’m genuinely baffled by who would want a ‘Sean v Frank’ scarf. Could be worse I suppose, could have one with a lion instead of the letter L in Chelsea.

    FT: Watford 0-0 Bournemouth

    Watford

    Watford captain Craig Cathcart speaking on Match of the Day: "It was very frustrating, possibly we could have ended up winning, we both had chances but now we need to pick ourself up.

    "It’s fine margins over games, little details can make a big difference. I hope the performances will start getting us the results we deserve."

  10. 'Not scoring a negative'published at 17:16 British Summer Time 26 October 2019

    FT: Watford 0-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe speaking on Match of the Day: "I am frustrated on one hand, but on the other hand we could have also lost the game.

    "Keeping a clean sheet away from home is positive, but having our third game without scoring is certainly a negative.

    "We don’t normally struggle to score but today at least we did not struggle to create chances."

  11. 'I just want Kante fit'published at 17:14 British Summer Time 26 October 2019

    Burnley v Chelsea (17:30 BST)

    Chelsea

    Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard on N'Golo Kante: "He is outside on his own doing physical work to deal with a few issues.

    "We need to get him right now because he has been in and out through the whole season.

    "I just want him fit, he has played a lot of football for four years. He had a big injury off the back of last season.

    "I think that maybe he is suffering from that big injury and a little fall-out from that."

    ‘You know what to get’

    I am going to go for a draw here, because you know what you are going to get from Burnley. Their performance level does not seem to change week on week.

    FT: Brighton 3-2 Everton

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton's Leandro Trossard, speaking to BBC MOTD: "I'm really happy I can be involved in the goal and help team to three points and a massive win.

    "The manager just asked me to help the team. The penalty came at a really good moment and we kept on going.

    "I saw it - and i thought it was a penalty. It was a turning point."

  14. The best of the statspublished at 17:10 British Summer Time 26 October 2019

    Burnley v Chelsea (17:30 BST)

    The Clarets are without a clean sheet in their last 34 games against those top-six sides, conceding 75 goals.

    They have only won one of their 25 Premier League encounters with established top-six clubs (D6, L18), a 2-1 victory against Tottenham at Turf Moor in February 2019.

    Chelsea could set a new club top-flight record of winning four consecutive away matches while scoring three or more goals.

    A good view for what should hopefully be a good game.

    Two differing styles of play but very effective sides in their own way.

    Can Burnley end their hoodoo against Chelsea and the ‘big six’?

    A win would take them above Arsenal into fifth spot.

    Can Chelsea make it seven wins in a row?

    Times up now for Marco. No more excuses. Everton had the easiest fixture list for the first 8 games that they could have hoped for and we have won 3. No confidence now he can turn this around. He has to go.

    West Ham 1-1 Sheffield United

    West Ham United

    West Ham goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez: "It was a game we should win. It was a tough game. As a team they play hard. We had a few chances to close the game and unfortunately we didn't.

    "The season is too long - 38 games. Every team passes through difficult moments. Maybe it was a difficult moment for us. We try next Saturday to change the situation."

    FT: Watford 0-0 Bournemouth

    Watford

    Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster: "We changed formation three or four games ago and that suited us better even if it is not going in the back of the net at the moment.

    "We had a few chances and probably it was a fair result in the end. We know we have a solid base to start from. We can keep clean sheets and can score goals so we can build on that."

    Sheffield United (W1-D4-L0) and Liverpool (W4-D1-L0) are the only clubs to still have an unbeaten Premier League away record this campaign.

    The Blades remain unbeaten in each of their opening five away matches of a top flight season for the first time since 1963/64 (W3-D2-L0, including a 3-2 win at West Ham).
