    Arsenal 0-0 Leeds

    Arsenal seeing more of the ball, as you'd expect. Leeds look to break through Crysencio Summerville but he is halted near the Gunners box by a fine tackle.

    Brighton 0-0 Brentford

    Pinball from a Brighton corner, which Brentford make a mess of clearing, but eventually the visitors win a free-kick so crisis over.

    Brighton 0-0 Brentford

    First chance falls to Brighton as Moses Caideo sends Kaoru Mitoma away but he's tackled well in the box. He should have shot earlier in truth.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Fulham

    No Aleksandar Mitrovic or Willian for Fulham today, of course. Will the Cottagers finish this match with 11 players on the pitch and Marco Silva in the dugout?

    You see with the players they have brought in, such as Moises Caicedo and Kaoru Mitoma, who have taken the Premier League by storm, that Brighton are aiming towards European football.

    You could say they are in a bit of a default position, as Chelsea and Liverpool are not usually as weak. But this is how the chips have fallen this season and they are making the most of it so far.

    Arsenal 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds boss Javi Gracia has not been afraid to chop and change his side to combat each opponent. Not many people predicted this starting line-up, though. No striker. Only one outright central midfielder. Seemingly five at the back.

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Wolves

    Brennan Johnson, who missed out for Wales recently, wins a corner for Forest.

    Morgan Gibbs-White plays it short and it comes to nothing.

    Roy Hodgson back on the touchline, glasses perched on his nose, watching on.

    Palace have arguably the easiest run-in of all the nine teams battling at the bottom. A win here will be a huge boost.

  9. 'Almost the perfect performance'published at 15:02 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    FT: Man City 4-1 Liverpool

    Manchester City

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "From the first minute until the 93rd minute, it was almost the perfect performance. Even 0-1 down, we were playing well and Jack [Grealish] made a good save to stop a potential 0-2.

    "The way we played, the way we found our spaces for how they defend. Our intensity, high pressing.

    "Of course, we fight to chase Arsenal and they are not used to being in this position - always in the last few years, they fight to win the Premier League and all the competitions. Last season they were two games from a quadruple and now they are playing to be in the top four - it would be incredibly difficult for us as well.

    "As a part of that, you have to perform the way we performed. We were so stable and stuck to the plan. All the players were magnificent.

    "Always we have fought against Liverpool, the way they defend, the way they play is so difficult for us. But today the players were magnificent. We played really well in all departments so hats off to our players.

    "Tell me one player who didn't play well? There was no one who was not playing well.

    On Erling Haaland injury: "We spoke yesterday and he didn't feel fit. Of course we want to take a risk, this is an important game but we have Julian [Alvarez] and now we have a long week to recover. Hopefully next weekend he can be involved."

    Bournemouth 0-0 Fulham

    Lots of noise at the Vitality. Big game this for the Cherries if they are to climb out of trouble. They've started on the front-foot and Bernd Leno is forced into an early rushed clearance.

    Arsenal 0-0 Leeds

    A frantic start!

    Rasmus Kristensen is denied by Aaron Ramsdale in the opening seconds. The home side break and Leeds have to scramble to stop a man having a shot in the edge of the box.

    Both of these teams have paid tribute to their ex-player David Rocastle before kick-off with mascots carrying shirts with his name on the back. The midfielder died 22 years ago yesterday. His family are at the Emirates today.

    Fulham have not won in the Premier League since 18 February but remain in a strong position in the table.

    They'll pass the magical 40-point mark with 10 games to play if they win at struggling Bournemouth.

    Cottagers fans would have settled for that before the start of the season after promotion from the Championship.

    Fulham have won five times away from home on the top-flight stage.

    Will they make it six of the best at the Vitality Stadium?

  15. Home sweet home for Cherries?published at 14:56 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    A huge few days for Bournemouth with back-to-back home games against Fulham and, on Tuesday, Brighton.

    Will the Cherries lift themselves out of the relegation zone by the time they go to fellow strugglers Leicester next Saturday?

    Gary O'Neil's side will certainly take confidence after their last appearance at the Vitality Stadium ended in a fine 1-0 win over Liverpool on 11 March.

    But Bournemouth have the worst defence in the Premier League - 54 conceded in 27 games - while their -29 goal difference is also a huge negative in the scramble to stay up.

    The most impressive thing for me was that CIty went 1-0 down in the game and they didn't panic.

    They stuck to what they do, and second half just went into overdrive.

    As far as Arsenal are concerned, they will 100% know the score, but now it's a case of getting down to business.

  18. Pick of the statspublished at 14:53 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    Nottingham Forest v Wolves (15:00 BST)

    Red card at WolvesImage source, BBC Sport
    • Nottingham Forest have won just one of their past eight league games against Wolves (D2 L5), a 2-0 victory at Molineux in the Championship in January 2018.
    • Wolves have lost three of their past four Premier League games, as many as they had in their first nine under Julen Lopetegui. They have also won just two of their past 18 away league games, though both did come under the Spaniard.
    • Having been unbeaten in their first five Premier League games of 2023, Forest are now winless in their past six. Having conceded just two goals in those first five games, the Reds have conceded at least twice in five of their past six.
    • Wolves' Raul Jimenez has had more shots on target without scoring this season than any other player in the Premier League (nine). The forward has not scored in his past 21 league appearances, since netting against Watford in March 2022.
  19. 'One of the best performances in my seven years'published at 14:52 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    FT: Man City 4-1 Liverpool

    Manchester City

    Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola speaking to BT Sport: "Minute one to minute 93 was a perfect performance - even though we concede a goal we played really well. They [Liverpool] always have threat on transition but we played really good. One of the best performances in my seven years.

    "The players knew we weren't playing bad. One goal down and we continued to do it and had just a bit of chat at half time and were lucky to score the second goal. But then at 2-1 the game was stable."

    On Jack Grealish: "I think this season is the Jack we thought could help us. He saved us from conceding a second goal, the chance for Mo Salah and Jack helped us. Riyad [Mahrez] was exceptional too, I cannot name one player better than another they were all exceptional."

    On Julian Alvarez: "Not just the goal, the assist in the second and third. He was so clever with the ball, he's an exceptional player. The club made an exceptional signing with him - he's a world champion alongside Lionel Messi because he has something."

  20. Sutton's predictionpublished at 14:52 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    Nottingham Forest v Wolves (15:00 BST)

    Chris SuttonImage source, BBC Sport

    Sutton's prediction: 0-1

    This is another tricky one, between two more teams in the bottom nine. I am worried about Wolves, who are still in trouble, but not as much as I am about Nottingham Forest.

    It really feels like Forest can only pick up points at home, which piles the pressure on them for fixtures like this.

    They lost their long unbeaten run at the City Ground against Newcastle last time out so this game feels even bigger.

    The Forest fans have got behind their side so well all season but the players will be really nervous now. It's the same for a lot of the teams down there of course, but we don't know how they will handle that.

    I don't see there being many goals - even one might be enough to decide things.

    Tommy's prediction:0-0
