Man Utd 0-0 Watford
The opening goal remains elusive for Manchester United.
Anthony Elanga flicks on a header which is into the path of Cristiano Ronaldo, but Ben Foster is sharply out to smother at his former United team-mate's feet.

Man Utd 0-0 Watford
James McFadden
Former Scotland forward on BBC Radio 5 LiveI wondered how having Pogba, Fernandes and Ronaldo in the same team would work. They've been really fluid. At times, Pogba is playing off the left, Bruno is through the middle, but they are swapping.
When they are coming inside, it is freeing up Alex Telles on the left, and Elanga is holding his width. It is making it hard for Watford to shuffle across, but they haven't scored yet. They need a goal.

Man Utd 0-0 Watford
The chance keep flowing for Manchester United and they keep missing them.
Imran Louza is caught late by Fred but Anthony Elanga plays on, sliding a through ball to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese goes round Ben Foster but is forced wide, clipping a ball back across goal for compatriot Bruno Fernandes to head wide.

Brentford 0-0 Newcastle
Brentford have a chance to break but Bryan Mbeumo's touch comes off his shin and Newcastle can counter them in response.
Chris Wood pulls off to the back post, engineers a header on goal but David Raya scrambles across to palm it wide!

Image source, Getty ImagesAston Villa have lost their way slightly.
Winning is a habit and they have lost that habit.
They are finding themselves in a precarious position where if they don’t start winning games they could find themselves getting sucked into a relegation fight.
But they are good enough to get themselves out of that.

Brentford 0-0 Newcastle
Joelinton looks to play a return pass to Ryan Fraser, but the Newcastle winger had stopped running and the ball trickles out of play.

We're not too far away from kick-off now for at the Amex, with plenty of fans now inside the stadium. This one was delayed by half an hour, remember.
'Man Utd have good energy'published at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2022
Man Utd 0-0 Watford
James McFadden
Former Scotland forward on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe way Man Utd have approached this game has really impressed me. Watford have looked to break a couple of times and they have pushed bodies forward, but the way Man Utd have got back is quick, snuffing things out.
When they are breaking, Pogba is getting involved and they are doing it at pace. Elanga is going down the right, Fernandes down the left, the fullbacks are pushed on; there is a good energy about them.

Crystal Palace 1-0 Burnley
Palace are ahead but Patrick Vieira will be worried because his side are missing opportunities.
It's Michael Oliseh again, leaving his marker trailing but firing a shot over from eight yards out.

Brentford 0-0 Newcastle
Brentford might be down to 10 men but they are still knocking the ball around well and looking to create chances, although Newcastle are yet to be really tested defensively.

Garth Crooks
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker on Final ScoreAston Villa started well with Steven Gerrard.
The honeymoon is over. We are going to see how good that marriage is now.
How far can he take Villa?

Man Utd 0-0 Watford
These chances are going to come back to haunt them.
No flag this time for Bruno Fernandes, timing his run perfectly onto Paul Pogba's lofted ball over the defence but the Portuguese can't find the target from six yards out.

Simon Stone
BBC Sport at Old TraffordAnthony Elanga was just too wide to get onto a Bruno Fernandes cross just then.
Cristiano Ronaldo turned to the youngster and advised him how to time his run to get nearer to the play at the vital moment.
If Elanga can learn from anyone, it is Ronaldo.

FinleyAsh: Mike Dean. What a joke. Never a red card no intentional foul play from Josh DaSilva.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2022
Man Utd 0-0 Watford
The celebrations are short-lived.
Anthony Elanga is enjoying himself and lays a pass out wide to Bruno Fernandes, who crosses first time for Cristiano Ronaldo to finish from close range.
But the flag is up and the goal is chalked off. Ronaldo's frustrations continue.

Dion Dublin
Former Aston Villa striker on Final ScoreIt wasn’t intentionally nasty by Josh DaSilva.
But when you see the replay it looks terrible. It's potentially a career-ending collision.
He is very lucky, Matt Targett, to be walking.

First real chance for Newcastle as Chris Wood gets on the end of a cross, but the forward cannot guide his header on target.
