    A little bit more on Aston Villa's team news today as it looks like all three changes were enforced.

    Captain Tyrone Mings is injured, while John McGinn and Jacob Ramsey miss out as they are currently following the government's Covid-19 guidelines.

    BBC Radio 5 live commentator

    There's a cluster of Arsenal fans in the front rows that have stayed behind. The Arsenal players, fair play to them, are over there applauding them, including Aubameyang - who was just nowhere today.

    Two massive games after the international break - Norwich and Burnley.

    Brighton v Everton (15:00 BST)

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton chief executive Paul Barber to Football Focus: "It has been a long journey, from days at Withdean with 6,000 fans to here at the Amex with a full stadium. It has been a great journey for the fans with a few bumps in the road as well.

    "Last season we had about 30% of the minutes played by players who came through the academy. Which is fantastic, that was our target many years ago and that is what we achieved.

    "I think every club is different, for us it is about being as sustainable as we can. That is why we invest heavily in the academy, we want to bring players through and it is important we have a pathway for them.

    "The great thing about Graham Potter that he gives them an opportunity if they are good enough and he has been doing that last season as well as this one.

    "Chris Houghton did a fantastic job getting us into the Premier League and keeping us there. But we wanted to evolve the football a little bit.

    "With Graham we have a very fluid tactical approach and a style of football everyone likes to watch. So far two games, it has started very well for us this season."

    We'll bring you reaction from the Etihad as soon as we get it but shall we start looking ahead to the five 15:00 BST games? Or 3pm in normal speak.

    That was Arsenal's heaviest-ever loss to Manchester City.

    A truly awful day for the Gunners.

    FT: Man City 5-0 Arsenal

    Jermaine Beckford
    Ex-Everton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The time of invincibility has disappeared. I don't think many people will be travelling to the Emirates and worrying, I think they'll be looking forward to it.

    If Arsenal can get into the top eight, wow - it would be a phenomenal season. There is a big building process that needs to happen.

    FT: Man City 5-0 Arsenal

    Manchester City are the third team in Premier League history to score 10 goals in their first two home matches in a season, after Arsenal in 2010-11 (10) and Manchester United in 2011-12 (11).

  8. Postpublished at 14:26 British Summer Time 28 August 2021

    FT: Man City 5-0 Arsenal

    From what I can see the Arsenal players have all headed over to their fans to applaud them for their support.

    I'd imagine 606 on Radio 5 Live could be interesting later. Sure one or two will want to vent.

    Man City 5-0 Arsenal

    A desperate afternoon for Arsenal. Their manager Mikel Arteta has a face like thunder.

    Arsenal have lost their first three league matches in a season for the first time since 1954-55.

    Bernd Leno called back into action again for the visitors to stop Joao Cancelo from making things even worse.

    Manchester City have had 25 shots this afternoon with 10 on target.

    Please can we play Arsenal before Arteta gets his P45.

    Man City haven't scored for 20 minutes now. It must be sooooo frustrating supporting them. They have my sympathies.

    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    What really frustrates me about Arsenal is when they concede a goal or two and it is not going well. There are no players that are pointing at each other, they are not being held accountable for their actions.

    Nobody wants to take responsibility.

    Good save. Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno dives to his left to save from Riyad Mahrez.

    It could have been a lot more than FIVE.

    Just three more minutes of this Arsenal fans. It is nearly over.

    Man City 5-0 Arsenal

    Jermaine Beckford
    Ex-Everton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It's just shameful. It's bad defending. Great run from Ferran Torres, similar to the first goal where Ilkay Gundogan beat Calum Chambers in the air, Torres wins in the air. You shouldn't see defenders getting beat in the air by players half a foot shorter than them.

    Anything in the six yard box has to be the keeper's ball - smash everybody that's in his way. Today, City have had free rein.

    Emile Smith Rowe tries to barge his way into the hosts' penalty area but is outmuscled by Rodri.

    As it stands Arsenal have played three, lost three, scored zero goals and conceded nine.

    They are bottom of the Premier League.

    For a centre forward to head a ball on the six yard box behind a centre half and in front of the keeper that is just embarrassing.

    It is just terrible defending, that is awful.

    Ferran Torres

    Simple, simple goal. Riyad Mahrez swings in a cross from the right and Ferran Torres nods in from six yards.

    Free header.

    Better from Arsenal. Kieran Tierney and Mohamed Elneny keep the ball down the left allowing Emile Smith Rowe to burst into the Manchester City penalty area.

    His cut back in Alexandre Lacazette's direction is intercepted.
