    Fulham 2-0 Nottingham Forest

    It's a case of just surviving until the break for Forest as Fulham's latest attack ends with Alex Iwobi curling a shot narrowly wide.

    A third is on for the Cottagers.

  2. Postpublished at 20:18 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Man Utd 0-0 Chelsea

    Second Manchester United chance. Rasmus Hojlund's slams in a low shot which Rob Sanchez saves.

    Early chance for Manchester United. Diogo Dalot finds his Portugal team-mate Bruno Fernandes but the United captain shoots over from 25 yards.

  4. INJURY TIMEpublished at 20:16 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Sheffield United 0-1 Liverpool

    Liverpool are pushing for a second as Dominik Szoboszlai - who's having a good game so far - feeds Mohamed Salah, but the winger scuffs his shot in the box and it goes straight to Blades stopper Wes Foderingham.

    We'll have six minutes added on at the end of the first half.

  5. INJURY TIMEpublished at 20:16 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Brighton 1-1 Brentford

    Just the SEVEN minutes added on.

    Terrible news Mbeumo getting injured. Brentford completely destroyed by injuries.

    Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth

    Roy Hodgson will be very disappointed with how Palace have reacted to going behind. Apart from Jordan Ayew's shot, saved by Neto, the Eagles haven't offered much for a while.

  8. 'Palmer has been excellent'published at 20:15 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Cole Palmer has been excellent since his move to Chelsea. He's been out of the side in the last couple of weeks, but back in it thanks to Conor Gallagher's suspension.

    We're seeing a more settled Chelsea now. Pochettino has stopped shuffling the pack.

    Joe: Steve Cooper currently as likely to survive Christmas in his job as much as a turkey is.

    Spud: Steve Cooper is his own worst enemy. Constantly chopping and changing his side. Zero consistency. The players won’t get him sacked, he’s getting himself sacked.

  11. Postpublished at 20:13 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Fulham 2-0 Nottm Forest

    Nottingham Forest look a little directionless at the moment, I guess you don't really plan to be 2-0 down.

    They've fired a couple of crosses into the box but Fulham have easily cleared them away.

  12. Postpublished at 20:12 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Brighton 1-1 Brentford

    Jan Paul van Hecke tries to make up for conceding the penalty but the Brighton defender heads high and wide from Billy Gilmour's corner.

    Aston Villa v Manchester City (20:15 GMT)

    Aston Villa's main strength is going forward. Defensively they give up a lot of chances, although they do get away with a lot of offside decisions when playing the high line.

    We saw against Spurs that City can be vulnerable at the back when you get at them, they lack that solid block they have had previously. Villa have the players, the speed and the quality to be able to get at them.

    With the confidence and belief that Unai Emery has in his system and style of play, I think they have a good chance. If they go in with full commitment they can really cause a lot of problems for City.

  14. 'Long way back for Forest'published at 20:12 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Fulham 2-0 Nottm Forest

    Stephen Kelly
    Former Tottenham defender on BBC Sport online

    You feel Forest have got to do a lot to get back in this game.

    Origi is so isolated up top, they can't knit too many passes together before losing the ball and they're just not getting support up into the forward areas.

    Another corner and Sheffield United are fortunate not to be punished again as Virgil van Dijk wiggles free, but can only head the ball over the bar.

  16. Sutton's predictionpublished at 20:11 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Man Utd v Chelsea (20:15 GMT)

    SuttonImage source, .

    Manchester United were woeful at St James' Park on Saturday and it looked like some of their players couldn't be bothered.

    Before the game, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was saying how Newcastle United had an extra day to prepare after their Champions League game in midweek, which I don't think was a great message to put out, but he ended up being let down badly by some of his players.

    They weren't prepared to run, while Newcastle ran all over them and should have won by more than 1-0.

    I am sure we will see more effort here, in front of their own fans, but I think we have to remember where Manchester United are at - they are seventh, but none of their eight league wins this season have come against sides in the top half of the table.

    So, I think this game is definitely winnable for Chelsea, even though they remain very inconsistent. They looked a bit better organised in their win over Brighton and I can see them causing Ten Hag's problems at the back.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-2

    This is the first game at Old Trafford since Manchester United chief executive Richard Arnold announced he was leaving.

    Chief legal man Patrick Stewart has taken over on an interim basis, pending the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS Group as 25% shareholders.

    That deal is expected to be ratified early next week - although we have been saying that for about a month now.

  20. 'Would it punish them? Eventually it has'published at 20:10 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Sheffield United 0-1 Liverpool

    Alex Bruce
    Former Hull defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Sheffield United will be really disappointed with how well they've done in that game to leave someone like van Dijk so clear in the middle of the 18 yard box. We've spoke about how many corners they've given away, would it punish them? Eventually it has.
