Within the space of a couple of minutes, Diogo Dalot twice, Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo were all guilty of mis-placed passes under no pressure.

The home side need to sharpen up.

Referee Craig Pawson waves away Callum Wilson's claims for a penalty as he broke into the penalty area and went down under a challenge by Raphael Varane.

Is VAR going to look at this? It backs up the referee's call.

Ouch!

Fabian Schar takes a nasty tumble off the pitch after sliding in to deny Cristiano Ronaldo a chance to cut the ball back inside the six-yard box. It's quite the drop, and he lands awkwardly, but he's good to continue after a little check over.

Alistair: Looking at the fixtures... Southampton and Forest to come, this could be one heck of a start for Arsenal. 11 wins from 12 games is genuinely doable. Easily the best Arsenal team in the last 10 years.

The IT staff have come down to try and resolve the situation. This feels very 2022.

Che Adams is penalised for a high boot in the West Ham box, relieving the pressure on the visitors as Southampton begin to grow into this.

Mikel Arteta and Jesse Marsch have just been in conversation with Chris Kavanagh.

They have pulled the players over too. Arteta is now giving his side a little team talk.

Newcastle are having to soak up some early pressure at Old Trafford, with Antony and Jadon Sancho both providing plenty of width for the home side who are knocking the ball around nicely in the opening period.

Referee Chris Kavanagh raced over to his assistant and the fourth official to discuss what their next steps are. Leeds were waiting to take a throw-in but have been told to stand down. The supporters in the ground don't understand what's going on. Some of the players have started having a kickabout to stay warm.

England boss Gareth Southgate is at Villa Park today so a good time for Tyrone Mings, Jacob Ramsey, Danny Ings, Ollie Watkins, Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Raheem Sterling and Mason Mount to have a good game.

It's a bright start for the hosts with Douglas Luiz, who has just signed a new deal at Villa, shooting from the edge of the penalty area, with Kepa Arrizabalaga saving the strike.

Manchester United were yet to give the ball away as the hosts worked the ball efficiently upfield, and it culminates in Fred firing wide from the edge of the box with the game's first opportunity.

Steven Gerrard and Graham Potter have taken vastly different paths to get to this point, but it's the player who made his name Stoke, York and Macclesfield who has the upper hand today with greater resources at his disposal.

That might help with the tactically-flexible approach Potter often goes for.

Today's example appears to have Raheem Sterling start at right wing-back. He played left wing-back in Potter's first game against RB Salzburg.

The referee has paused the game at Elland Road because the officials have lost all contact with VAR and goalline technology.

An early corner for West Ham after a positive start, but Southampton boot it clear at the second attempt. The Saints haven't been able to get out yet.

Interesting test for Arsenal today. They lost against Manchester United but they played well. There was talk about how they would get on against Spurs and Liverpool. Well they answered questions in those games very well! This is a different set of questions against Leeds.

Off we go in all four games. Where is the first goal coming from?

Tom: @DaddyWhoGames1 while I agree with the sentiment - today is the first game where Dubravka CANNOT play - as NUFC are his host club.

HUGE game today - and opportunity to really prove our progress. Howay the Lads.

Sir Alex Ferguson is welcomed on to the pitch before kick-off at Old Trafford as David de Gea's 500th United appearance and Cristiano Ronaldo's 700th club goal are honoured by the club.
