  1. PENALTY TO BRIGHTONpublished at 16:26 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Brighton 1-0 Luton

    Potentially a decisive moment in this game as Joao Pedro goes down under a challenge from Luton captain Tom Lockyer.

    It's soft. Very soft. But it stands. And Pedro will take it...

    Bournemouth 0-1 West Ham

    Kieffer Moore is on now for Bournemouth as they look for more of a punch up top. Ryan Christie the man replaced.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Crystal Palace

    A bit more determination about Sheffield United's play now. They are looking more hungry for the ball and are competing more after a strong spell for Crystal Palace.

    Everton challenging for the European spaces as things stand🥳.

    Andy

    Everton need a sub, maybe Dobbin, to give Fulham something to worry about.

    Peter

    Em: Mitrovic has just pulled a swifty, there is no injury there. He is annoyed he wasn't allowed to leave and then that he didn't start today.

    Carlos Vinicius was stripped off and ready to come on before being waved back into the dugout by Aleksandar Mitrovic.

    Let's see how long the Serbia striker can last.

    While it stays one nil Luton are well in this game.

    They are giving it a go now.

    Brighton 1-0 Luton

    Luton continue to plug away.

    They win two corners on the bounce, with the second causing panic in the Brighton box before Solly March hacks away. The Hatters return the ball but the flag goes up for offside.

    Everton 0-0 Fulham

    Carlos Vinícius is ready to come on, the board goes up to show his number to replace Aleksandar Mitrovic, but suddenly the striker signals he is fine to continue after testing out his foot.

    Relief for Fulham.

    Re Chris. You're not a football fan in my eyes, I'm absolutely buzzing.

    Steven

    Agree with Chris. Premier League hasn't grasped me this year, maybe it's because the race for top spot doesn't feel as competitive anymore. Or maybe it's just because I'm a Palace fan expecting a tenth mid-table finish in a row...

    Adam

    I'm with Chris, the Rugby league is a cracking final, got the 100 on later on the beeb..football who cares??

    Bournemouth 0-1 West Ham

    Inches from an equaliser!

    Ryan Christie cuts inside from the left and unleashes a fierce, dipping effort that hits the bar and goes over.

  11. Postpublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Everton 0-0 Fulham

    Concern already for Aleksandar Mitrovic?

    He's down on the ground and grimacing after trying to go for a corner. He stands up, but has to sit back down immediately. Is that it for the striker?

  12. 'Hats off to Luton'published at 16:21 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Brighton 1-0 Luton

    Steve Sidwell
    Former Villa and Brighton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    You have to say one hour in Rob Edwards will be delighted with Luton's performance so far.

    They've nullified one of the most creative teams in the Premier League last season to very few chances this afternoon, so hats off to them for how they have prepared for this match.

    Brighton 1-0 Luton

    Save!

    Brighton have Luton on the ropes and work an opening for Solly March, who tricks his way past a man and then fires a shot that Thomas Kaminski saves.

    There is a shout for a penalty, but Danny Welbeck was wiped out by a team-mate.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Some of Sheffield United's players seem to be getting frustrated with Crystal Palace having dominated this half and they are giving away a lot of free kicks. From the latest one, Eberechi Eze superbly finds the head of Odsonne Édouard but he nods straight at the goalkeeper.

    Fulham are growing into this game. Raul Jimenez had a brilliant chance that hit the post and they have just brought on their star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

    With us still in the first half of August and lots of cricket and other Summer sport still to be played, I just can’t get interested in Premier League football yet. Anybody else feel that way?

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Bournemouth 0-1 West Ham

    Justin Kluivert - son of Patrick - is on for a Bournemouth debut after joining the club this summer. He replaces Jaidon Anthony.

    He enters the game just before Philip Billing sees a free-kick deflect just over the bar.

    Everton 0-0 Fulham

    Shamoon Hafez
    BBC Sport at Goodison Park

    If reports are to be believed, striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is angling for a move to cash-rich Saudi Arabia.

    The Serbia striker gets a rousing reception from the travelling supporters with chants on "Mitro, Mitro, Mitro." when he enters the pitch in place of Raul Jimenez.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Everton 0-0 Fulham

    The woodwork comes to Everton's rescue as debutant Raúl Jiménez's snapshot beats Jordan Pickford but comes back off the post.

    The closest yet to a goal but that's it for Jimenez, he is replaced by last season's top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic.

    Not a bad change to be able to make.

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace are looking to get a second and finish this game off and they have a free kick some 30 yards from goal. Eberechi Eze is over this but is unable to clear the wall.
