A good save from Emi Martinez as he pushes a whipping long-range effort from Simon Adingra over the bar.

Understandably, this game has gone as flat as a ruler.

Lewis Dunk is shown a yellow card, presumably for an earlier foul.

Jhon Duran comes on for Villa, replacing the busy Moussa Diaby. It looks like he's picked up a knock and they aren't risking him with European football coming up.

James: Watkins could score 10 today and still not get into Southgate's team. He's not playing in a 'top 6' team.

Dan: Brentford Dan here. You know it be great if Watkins came back to the Bees once Toney inevitably leave. Come back Ollie!

Kaoru Mitoma tries to curl it into the corner from just inside the box. It's blocked and he's appealling for handball. Nothing given.

Given his lack of previous opportunities for Manchester City, it is perhaps no surprise Kalvin Phillips is back on the bench at Wolves this afternoon.

Maybe more of a surprise, on the basis Mateo Kovacic has just returned from injury and is starting, is Jack Grealish being amongst the substitutes.

Having seen Wolves perform poorly at Luton last week, I don't see them ending City's 100% Premier League record at Molineux this afternoon.

West Ham are unchanged from the side that lost 3-1 to Liverpool at Anfield last Sunday - indeed their entire matchday squad remains the same.

Aaron Cresswell is the only injury absentee for David Moyes as the Hammers boss manages his 900th league game.

West Ham XI: Areola, Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson, Soucek, Alvarez, Bowen, Ward-Prowse, Lucas Paqueta, Antonio.

Substitutes: Fabianski, Mavropanos, Ogbonna, Kehrer, Fornals, Kudus, Cornet, Benrahma, Ings.

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom, meanwhile, has given the majority of his side a collective chance to make amends for last weekend's home hammering at the hands of Newcastle.

He makes just one change from that 8-0 thrashing as Oli McBurnie returns from suspension to form a front two with Cameron Archer. Rhian Brewster is among the substitutes after almost a year out with hamstring problems. He last played on 29 October 2022.

Sheff Utd XI: Foderingham, Ahmedhodzic, Egan, Robinson, Bogle, McAtee, Souza, Thomas, Hamer, Archer, McBurnie.

Substitutes: Davies, Trusty, Basham, Larouci, Norwood, Davies, Slimane, Traore, Brewster.

Richard: I hyped up Watkins all through preseason, captain him in my fantasy team for 3 weeks at the start...removed him before last weeks game after 1 assist in 5 matches... and now he has 4 in 2... So glad the premier league is back...so glad...

Jay: Realistically, looking at fixtures, Brighton could lose 6 on the spin before they settling back in at home with a narrow 4-3 win over Fulham at the end of October. How about that for a 7 fold prediction.

Garreth: How is that not a second yellow for Konsa? If he wasn't already booked, 100% he's getting carded there. No consistency at all.

Pau Torres breaks for Villa but Tariq Lamptey sprints back to intercept the pass to Ollie Watkins.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe makes three changes from last weekend's 8-0 thrashing of Sheffield United in the Premier League.

Jamaal Lascelles starts and captains the side, with Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak also in the starting XI. Callum Wilson and Sven Botman are both missing through injury, along with Harvey Barnes who is out for three months.

Newcastle XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Gordon, Isak, Almiron, Anderson, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes

Substitutes: Dubravka, Dummett, Joelinton, Tonali, Ritchie, Targett, Hall, Livramento, Murphy

Vincent Kompany has made just the one change to his Burnley line-up from Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester United.

Sander Berge starts over Johann Berg Gudmundsson, who is out of the squad with a muscle problem.

Burnley XI: Trafford, Taylor, Beyer, Brownhill, Roberts, Berge, Ramsey, Cullen, Amdouni, Al Dakhil, Koleosho

Substitutes: O'Shea, Cork, Rodriguez, Zaroury, Vitinho, Ndayishimiye, Larsen, Odobert, Muric

Ezri Konsa, who is already on a yellow card, reacts as Ansu Fati catches him in midfield.

He grabs Fati's shirt and shows his frustration but the referee intervenes quickly and books the Brighton substitute. Konsa is perhaps a little fortunate not to get a booking for his reaction.

It might be wise to get him off with the game all but done and dusted!

Sho: With all the Toney talk, Arsenal should look at Watkins too.

Edward: Ollie! Ollie! Ollie!

Nice football from Villa.

Lucas Digne is played in behind by a lovely pass on the left but his early ball in runs away from Boubacar Kamara.
