    Brighton 1-0 Watford

    It's another whipped delivery from Pascal Gross but this time Watford have the bodies there to deal with it and scramble clear.

    Brighton 1-0 Watford

    Ismaila Sarr has half a chance at the other end to bring Watford level, but it comes to nothing.

    And it's Brighton who win another corner at the other end. The last one ended in the opening goal...

    Brighton 1-0 Watford

    I've gone for bullet there when on reflection there was a slight bend on Shane Duffy's header - might be heading to the Football Cliches adjudication panel, that one...

    Not quite enough to make it a looping header, though. Either way, great finish.

    Shane Duffy (10 mins)

    Absolute bullet of a header!

    Shane Duffy rises superbly inside the Watford box and uses all the pace on the corner to steer it into the top corner, with his header catching the crossbar on its way into the net - how satisfying is that!

    Great finish from the defender and Brighton are good for their lead.

    Brighton 0-0 Watford

    Lewis Dunk is making his 145th Premier League appearance today, all of which have come as starts - it's the 10th biggest 100% starting record of any outfield player in the history of the competition.

    Gareth Southgate tops the list on 426. What ever happened to him?!

    Brighton 0-0 Watford

    Watford are defending so deep without the ball. Almost every red shirt is camped in their own third.

    Brighton 0-0 Watford

    Bit of an anxious moment for Robert Sanchez as Ken Sema's effort loops up off a Brighton leg and drops just over the crossbar. The Seagulls stopper wasn't too sure where that was going.

    Brighton 0-0 Watford

    Nice switch of play from the hosts, much to the fans' delight, and after going at Watford from the off Brighton are now taking a more patient approach.

    It ends with Yves Bissouma thumping over the bar from distance.

    Brentford averaging 2 points a game means we'll finish on 76 points. I'll take that. Man U have won the title with fewer.

    Ferocious start from Brighton, tearing down the left and getting straight at Watford, but Leandro Trossard's low cross is cleared away.

    Right, it's almost time. Both sides got off the mark with a win last week. Who'll make it two from two?

    Brighton v Watford (17:30 BST)

    Brighton have never lost a top-flight home meeting between these sides, although three of the four games were drawn, and the Seagulls are also looking to could equal their club record of six Premier League home matches without defeat.

    Graham Potter's first game in charge of Brighton in August 2019 was a 3-0 away win at Watford, who in turn lost their last six Premier League away matches of that season when they were relegated.

    But the Hornets are on a hot streak this year - only Manchester City (21) have won more league games in England's top four tiers so far in 2021 than their 18.

  15. 'The fans give you that extra 10%'published at 17:26 British Summer Time 21 August 2021

    Jermaine Jenas
    Former England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Physicality and risking injury is the nature of sport - you're putting your body at risk and putting your bodies on the line to compete. Off the back of the Euros we wanted a bit more physical contact in the game. We've lost our way a bit over the last two years. Maybe he's [Jurgen Klopp criticised the refereeing in Liverpool's game earlier] saying we've gone too far but I didn't see that.

    There's no doubt the fans being back has raised the intensity of the games. As a player you get that extra 10%, and that might be through flying into tackles. All the things you're seeing at the moment are a response to the packed out stadiums. Even the Palace game against Brentford, only a 0-0 but both teams really at it.

    A bit of Sweet Caroline at the Amex. When did that become the go-to track to get fans pumped across the sports?! Not saying I don't enjoy it, mind...

    FT: Man City 5-0 Norwich

    Manchester City

    Gabriel Jesus, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “I think it was a good game for the team – we played quickly, passed the ball, made runs in behind, try to score a goal – that’s what we have to do all the games.

    “After the result last game, everyone knows we can do a little bit better and we tried today. It was a difficult game, Norwich try to play a lot and that I think was good for us – when teams try to play against us, we can play well.

    “I feel good, I’m getting my confidence back, my energy back. I like to play all the time, wherever the manager tries to play me, I try to do my best always.

    “On the national team, I play more on the right side. We have a lot of good strikers, good wingers – Riyad (Mahrez) and Raheem (Sterling) came on and scored – and we have a very good team.”

  18. 'Not the best of us yet'published at 17:22 British Summer Time 21 August 2021

    FT: Leeds 2-2 Everton

    Leeds United

    Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips: “It’s been amazing having the crowd back. The fans showed how much they’ve missed us and we've really missed them. Having a full crowd is like an extra man.

    “We're disappointed not to take the three points, after a great finish from Raphinha. We all know what kind of player he is and to put it in the bottom corner first time like that was great

    “It wasn’t the best of us today. It’s early in the season, and I feel like, especially me, could be a lot fitter and a lot stronger. Every team will create chances against us. We probably could have done better in the goals that they scored."

    The influence of having a full Elland Road really helped Leeds get back into the game.

    But Demarai Gray, what a signing he has become for Everton!

    Fingers crossed he can go on and score more for Everton, who are looking really good this season.

  20. 'We'll take the point'published at 17:20 British Summer Time 21 August 2021

    FT: Leeds 2-2 Everton

    Everton

    Everton forward Demarai Gray speaking to Match of the Day: “It’s important to me to make a good start at Everton. I feel I’ve integrated into the team and the system and I'm working well with the manager. My focus is to keep being a threat and hopefully put more goals in.

    “Against a team like Leeds you have to kill the game off. They’re always going to apply the pressure and with the fans here, they’re not going to give up. We could have taken more today but we’ll take the point.”

    On his acrobatic celebration: "I went flying after the goal. I’m delighted to get off the mark and score in front of the away fans."
