    Friendsofpizza: Sympathy to the travelling Bournemouth, Brighton and Newcastle fans tonight - midweek evening kickoffs at the other end of the country. Football fans being treated with contempt by the PL.

    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live Extra

    There has been a change of atmosphere at Goodison Park all of a sudden.

    There has a been a quieting of the crowd. Brighton seem on top and Everton not pressing as high or hard. They are struggling to get the ball now.

  3. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:06 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January 2023

    Everton 0-1 Brighton

    Almost a second for Brighton! 18-year-old Ireland striker Evan Ferguson, on his first Premier League start, does well to direct a cross towards goal but his effort rebounds away off the base of the post.

    Jordan Pickford was beaten.

    Leicester 0-1 Fulham

    Fulham are so completely on top here, Leicester are a shambles in truth.

    Luckily for the Foxes, Aleksandar Mitrovic air-kicks from Bobby De Cordova-Reid's cutback and Joao Palhinha shoots wide from range.

    Man Utd 0-0 Bournemouth

    Donny van de Beek goes sliding into a challenge on the edge of the Bournemouth penalty area and takes out both Jefferson Lerma and Philip Billing.

    The Cherries midfield duo clatter into each other but are quickly back up on their feet.

    Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle have managed to steady the ship a little and string a few passes together in midfield.

    Ben White leans in on Joelinton and gives away a free-kick.

    Everton 0-1 Brighton

    Demarai Gray wins a corner as Everton look for a quick response to Mitoma's opener. Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez comes out to claim the cross, however.

    Ben White has been flying up the right-hand side of this pitch, any chance he gets he's been on his bike - whether it's to draw players his way or press the ball.

  9. Arsenal's bright startpublished at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January 2023

    Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Emirates Stadium

    Arsenal are really pushing Newcastle back with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka already threatening on both flanks. Great atmosphere inside Emirates Stadium. You can tell Arsenal's fans love the way this team plays its football - and why wouldn't they this season?

    Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Kieran Trippier curls a decent corner in but it's headed over by Fabian Schar.

    Sean Longstaff then has to be alert as he's the only man back when Arsenal send a hopeful ball long.

    GOAL - Leicester 0-1 Fulhampublished at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January 2023

    Aleksandar Mitrovic (17 mins)

    Inevitable.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic is on the scoresheet again.

    Leicester allow Willian to pick up the ball in his own half and run forward - and forward - and forward.

    He gets to 30 yards from goal and swings in a lovely ball for Mitrovic, who takes a touch to steady himself and smashes home.

  12. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:00 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January 2023

    Man Utd 0-0 Bournemouth

    The visitors get us under way at Old Trafford.

    Loads of love in the stands for Lisandro Martinez, prior to kick-off. The Argentine is the fifth player to win the World Cup while being a Manchester United player.

    GOAL - Everton 0-1 Brightonpublished at 20:00 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January 2023

    Kaoru Mitoma

    He's converted this time! Japan international Kaoru Mitoma missed a header a little earlier but with the ball at his feet makes no mistake.

    He collects the crossfield ball and jinks inside before slotting the ball coolly into the corner.

    Leicester 0-0 Fulham

    You can try to foul Aleksandar Mitrovic but you can't stop the Fulham striker getting on the end of crosses. His header is deflected wide for a corner.

    The corner is cleared.

  16. 'Everton have started so well'published at 19:59 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January 2023

    Everton 0-0 Brighton

    Paul Robinson
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live Extra

    First bit of possession for Brighton. Everton have started so well. Pressing high and snapping at their heels.

    Brighton have struggled get into the game. Everton will press and snap but they are vulnerable on the counter attack as we have just seen.

    Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Kieran Trippier slips it through to Miguel Almiron. He initially beats two players but cuts back and tees up Trippier.

    His cross is cleared and Arsenal break.

    Gabriel Martinelli pulls it back for Granit Xhaka but he scuffs it! Huge opportunity.

    Leicester 0-0 Fulham

    Aleksandar Mitrovic is on his feet but doesn't look comfortable at all. Back on he comes though. Wilfred Ndidi is quite lucky to avoid a yellow for that.

  19. Postpublished at 19:56 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January 2023

    Worth a go.

    Callum Wilson gets into space outside the box. He's got work to do but spins and takes a pop at Aaron Ramsdale. Comfortable for the Arsenal goalkeeper.

  20. CLOSE!published at 19:56 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January 2023

    Everton 0-0 Brighton

    It should be 1-0 Brighton! Their man in form Kaoru Mitoma is in so much space at the back post but heads high and wide.
