    Bournemouth 0-0 Wolves

    Goncalo Guedes loses his feet at the critical time for Wolves as he adjusts himself for a cross and the ball ends up hitting him in the face as he falls.

    You're 5-0 down... and Kevin de Bruyne comes on! Luckily for Forest hat-trick hero Erling Haaland is the one to come off.

    Sergio Gomez replaces Joao Cancelo.

    Chris: Forest looking like the most expensively collected relegated team. All that money wasted!

  4. Klopp a frustrated figurepublished at 20:53 British Summer Time 31 August 2022

    Liverpool 0-1 Newcastle

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Anfield

    Jurgen Klopp was raging for most of that first half, whether it was at officialdom, Newcastle United's perceived time wasting or his own players. He was not a happy man.

    Klopp needs a big half-time talk because Newcastle were comfortable for the most part and what a moment for new striker Alexander Isak with that thumping finish on his debut.

    The Toon Army are very happy in the Anfield Road end.

    Julian Alvarez (65 mins)

    Lovely play by Riyad Mahrez, who heads the ball into the air and then flicks it through for Julian Alvarez, who slots the ball between Dean Henderson's legs from an angle.

    HT: Liverpool 0-1 Newcastle

    Dion Dublin
    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Isak has been absolutely outstanding and worked really hard for the side. Eddie Howe has got this first 45 minutes absolutely spot on.

    Manchester City 4-0 Nottingham Forest

    City are so comfortable, they must have had the ball for about two minutes solid.

    Stevo: Unfortunately Liverpool are never going to get goals with Henderson and Fabinho in midfield. Sideways and backwards.

    Paul: Someone let Salah know the season started a few weeks ago.

    David: Maybe they should have let Forest play all their 16 new players at the same time, to make this even.

    Arsenal 1-0 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa are having a good spell at the moment, perhaps their best of the game, and Emi Martinez is able to enjoy a bit of welcome piece and quiet in his own box.

    Anon: Disastrous start for West Ham and their new signings! Some can't get into the team and the one who manages the starting 11 scores a own goal and concedes a penalty. Where on earth is Scamacca?

    Manchester City 4-0 Nottingham Forest

    Dean Henderson is going to have a busy season in the Nottingham Forest goal, that's for sure. He's equal to Bernardo Silva's shot from 20 yards.

    Liverpool 0-1 Newcastle

    Liverpool are pressing as half time approaches but the Newcastle defence continues to frustrate them. The visitors are blocking or heading away all crosses sent into the box.

    Jay: Newcastle will become a top, top club in 5 years (or less) - just the way City emerged out of “nowhere”.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Wolves

    Bournemouth have made a decent start to this game but Wolves have a free kick right on the D. Joao Moutinho steps up to take it but the wall does its job.

    Just to play Devil's Advocate, I recall Alvaro Negredo also having an excellent first year at City, then ending up at Middlesbrough a few years later. Good on Haaland for doing so well, but it's only been a few games! :)

    Morgan Gibbs-White has a crack from outside the box but it's saved by Ederson.

    Forest bring on Emmanuel Dennis and Taiwo Awoniyi for Brennan Johnson and Gibbs-White.
