    Aston Villa 0-0 Leicester

    Kasper Schmeichel comes out to punch an Aston Villa corner and Leicester scramble it clear. Decent start to this one.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Leicester

    First chance for Leicester! Ashley Young sells his defenders short and Ademola Lookman pounces, sliding a pass into Patson Daka down the right.

    The forward has a pop from a tight angle but it is straight at Emi Martinez.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Leicester

    Lots of possession early on for the visitors, but a foul by Luke Thomas on John McGinn allows Aston Villa to get a foot on the ball.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Leicester

    Leicester are wearing grey shirts, black shorts and pink socks - I'm sure their usual blue would be more distinguishable from Aston Villa's home kit than this.

    FT: Man Utd 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Manchester United

    Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick, speaking to Match of the Day: "I am very happy with the way the team performed, especially the first half hour, with the pressing, it was exceptional. The only thing missing was the 1-0 or 2-0.

    "The way we defended, we had control of the whole game, the clean sheet was the most important part.

    "These are the things we must improve. We need to keep clean sheets. With just the one training session, I was really impressed. We did much better than expected.

    "We always tried to be on the front foot. We were never not apart from maybe the last five minutes. At all other times we were trying to keep them away from our goal.

    "We wanted to play with two strikers, especially in the central position. By the way, Cristiano Ronaldo's work off the ball, chapeau."

    [On Fred's goal] "I had to ask my assistant coach if that was Fred's right foot. I thought he could only shoot with his left. I'm happy for him.

    "It's always easier to build on things after you're successful. We must produce further clean sheets and get better at creating chances for our attack. Overall I was very pleased with the way we played today."

    FT: Man Utd 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Ralf Rangnick has praised Cristiano Ronaldo for his work off the ball this afternoon.

    The Godfather of Gegenpressing meets the most prolific goalscorer of all time.

  11. 'Against the big teams you get punished'published at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2021

    FT: Man Utd 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira told Sky Sports: "I thought the game would finish with a draw. Neither side created too many chances. When we had that chance with Jordan [Ayew] we didn't take it. Against the big teams you get punished. In these games you have to score those.

    "He's a team player, he does fantastic work outside possession. But the forwards are judged by their number of chances and those goals they score. I'm really disappointed because he deserved to score today.

    "I think we weren't brave enough to play out the back. We were missing players today, there was a lack of confidence in possession. We didn't allow ourselves to play.

    "With their new manager we didn't know how they would play. But we prepared with our shape. When you look at their chances, I think a draw would have been a fair result.

    "It's important to win football matches but at the same time you have to look at performances. We are really close. We have to take it on the chin and keep working."

    Tian: First clean sheet for United in a long, long time. Domination of possession. Control. The Rangnick era is underway

  13. Lawro says...published at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2021

    Aston Villa v Leicester (16:30 GMT)

    Mark Lawrenson
    BBC football expert

    This should be a good game, because Villa are still on a high after Steven Gerrard's appointment and Leicester seem to be having one of those spells where they seem to make life difficult for themselves.

    Foxes midfielder James Maddison has hit a purple patch at the moment with his goals and assists but, so far under Gerrard, Villa strike me as having proper plans for every team they face.

    That's the same for every manager, of course, but Gerrard will leave no stone unturned. Maddison is Leicester's most creative player so he will specifically stop him from providing for Jamie Vardy - or try to anyway.

    Prediction: 1-1

    Andrew: There’s still a lot of improvement needed, but United controlled the game for the majority of the 90 mins, which even when they won under Solskjaer was so rarely the case.

    FT: Tottenham 3-0 Norwich

    Norwich City

    Norwich defender Brandon Williams, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think we were in it until the second goaI and thought if we got one we could have got something. It is not a three-goal game. The next game... we still have lots to play. We move on. We were in it at half-time. Lack of concentration and giving space to a team like this, they will finish it off. We need to work on finishing. We have missed big chances to go ahead and control the game.

    "Looking at the stats, the expected goals is higher than other teams in last four games. We just need to take chances. We went four unbeaten. Losing one isn't a big deal. We have more to come."

  17. Brands to leave Evertonpublished at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2021

    BBC Sport chief football writer

    Everton's Director of Football Marcel Brands is set to leave the club.

    The 59-year-old Dutchman joined Everton from PSV Eindhoven in May 2018 and is also a member of the club's board of directors.

    Brands, who has worked with Marco Silva, Carlo Ancelotti and latterly Rafael Benitez, has been heavily criticised for the club's failed transfer policy and was targeted by supporters at the end of Wednesday's 4-1 Merseyside Derby defeat at home to Liverpool.
