This isn't looking good for Southampton.

Adam Armstrong, their most threatening player, has gone off injured.

Mohamed Elyounoussi is on.

First chance for Mo Salah.

It's lifted over the top for him. He cuts inside and almost catches out Emiliano Martinez at the near post.

The Villa keeper reacts well to make a smart one-handed save.

This is much, much better by Arsenal.

They're trying to kill this game off before half-time.

A poor clearance by Willy Caballero leads to a chance and after Martin Odegaard's back-heel, Caballero saves from Buakyo Saka.

Another chance. Jordan Henderson is almost in but Tyrone Mings comes across to cover.

Villa try to break through Ollie Watkins but he goes down too easily under pressure from Joel Matip and it rolls through to Alisson.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain drives from midfield again. He slips but manages to get it out to Sadio Mane.

He slips in Andy Robertson, who beats the full-back but his cut-back is just about cleared.

Paul: Arsenal always look better when Lacazette plays. A few years ago we let Ramsey go by not giving him what he wanted and instead threw money at Ozil staying. That was a mistake. It will be another mistake in summer if Lacazette goes but Aubameyang stays.

Ashley Young goes on a decent run down the left. He almost sneaks in to poke it past Trent Alexander-Arnold in the box too but Virgil van Dijk has it covered and eases it out to Fabinho on the right.

The intensity is increasing from Liverpool. Villa have been completely blown away in this half but the home side have got nothing to show for it.

Trent Alexander-Arnold slides it through to Sadio Mane, who tries to backheel it for Mo Salah but it doesn't come off.

Raphinha now has SEVEN Premier League goals this season - as many as Sadio Mane and Bernardo Silva.

He's so valuable to this Leeds team.

Liverpool are getting into dangerous areas. And when you have Alexander-Arnold and Robertson as well, you are going to create chances. They have not had to try too hard to get down the edges, and that is a worry for Steven Gerrard's side.

Virgil van Dijk plays a stunning diagonal pass over to Trent Alexander-Arnold after Liverpool win it back on the left.

It's switched back across again before Sadio Mane wins another Liverpool corner.

Olly: You ever wondered how crucial Ben Chilwell is to this Chelsea team? Since he has gone down injured: Defensive solidity gone. Attacking flow gone. Balanced wing back play gone. Cross numbers down. Composure gone. Wins gone.

Yellow card - James on Jamespublished at 15:36 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December 2021

15:36 GMT 11 December 2021

Chelsea 0-1 Leeds

A strong challenge by Reece James which leaves his namesake Dan on the deck. The referee reaches for his pocket and shows a yellow.

Henry: Alonso has looked awful today. Can't miss Chillwell anymore than we have, Leeds obviously clued into how off the pace Alonso is today. Just awful defending.

Leeds fans are having a Christmas party at Stamford Bridge.

'Marching On Together' they roar.

Their side is good value for this lead. Chelsea have serious work to do.

The corners are starting to rack up for Liverpool now. Their third in a row comes to nothing as it's played short to Thiago and he gives it away.

Matty: Three goals in three games for Odegaard. Very satisfying after seeing so much of our own fanbase turn on him at the start of the season.

Aston Villa standing firm and Anfield vents its frustration, with the penalty appeals coming at regular intervals. Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard is keeping a very close eye on Jurgen Klopp's regular dialogue with the fourth official - even helping him out as to why a decision was given on one occasion.
