    Wolves 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    A huge 45 minutes for Forest and Steve Cooper. The travelling fans certainly believe - they're making all the noise at Molineux.

    Brighton 0-1 Burnley

    Burnley almost double their lead!

    Goalscorer Wilson Odober causes havoc again with this trickery, feeding Jay Rodriguez who draws a double save from Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen.

    Pinball in the six-yard box before Brighton manage to clear.

  3. Postpublished at 16:06 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    No changes for either side at half-time - at least in personnel.

    You would imagine Erik ten Hag has tried to tweak something tactically.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:06 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Brentford

    Brentford have made a change at the start of the second half. Yehor Yarmoliuk is on for Frank Onyeka, who escaped with a booking for a poor challenge.

    Brighton 0-1 Burnley

    This what Kaoru Mitoma was asked to do.

    The Brighton winger instantly gets into space and runs at his marker, drilling in a low cross from the left which is a little too close to James Trafford.

    Encouraging sign for the home side.

  6. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:04 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Getting back under way in the 3pm kick-offs. Brighton, Manchester United and Brentford all have work to do.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Brighton 0-1 Burnley

    Decisive action taken by Roberto de Zerbi as he looks to turn this game back in his team's favour.

    A double change before the second half as Kaoru Mitoma and Billy Gilmour are asked to make a difference.

    Midfield pair Mahmoud Dahoud and Adam Lallana are hooked.

  8. Special finish by McAteepublished at 15:58 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    HT: Sheff Utd 1-0 Brentford

    What a time to score your first Premier League goal. Young James McAtee, who is on loan from Manchester City, lit up Bramall Lane with his wonder goal.

    That puts Chris Wilder's side within two points of safety in the 'as it stands' table.

    Will they finish the job?

  9. 'That is one to watch'published at 15:58 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    HT: Sheff Utd 1-0 Brentford

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England and Liverpool defender on Final Score

    Poor from Brentford trying to play out from the back, but then McAtee pings it into the top corner.

    That is one to watch on Match of the Day tonight!

  10. Lack of goals this season for Unitedpublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    HT: Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    Ian Dennis
    BBC Radio 5 Live senior football reporter

    Manchester United have only scored 18 goals so far in this Premier League season.

    The only time they've had fewer in the Premier League was 31 years ago when they had 14 goals from 15 games.

    The thing that really bothers me about Martial is his lack of movement in the box. United get into threatening positions and there's no darting into space from the Frenchman. Hojlund may not have scored yet, but his running against Chelsea was brilliant at times. Martial needs to go.

    HT: Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    Chris Sutton
    Former Celtic striker on BBC 5 Live

    Bournemouth deservedly in front. It was a well-taken goal from Solanke but they look the bigger threat, they've sat in and they've countered to great effect.

    Manchester United have work to do. Big half-time for Erik ten Hag.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Wolves 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    Forest are fighting for Steve Cooper.

  14. 'Impressive from Bournemouth'published at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    Ashley Williams
    Former Wales captain on Final Score

    A really impressive first half from Bournemouth. It's not even as if Manchester United have been poor.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    While Maguire has been decent, those around him - especially his attacking colleagues - have not been so impressive.

    Boos around OT as the half-time whistle goes...

    Dominic Solanke has put Bournemouth halfway towards what would be an historic first win at Manchester United for the club.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Brentford

    Worth the rain and the admission price just for the goal. Wonderful finish.

  17. Postpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    How crucial might this intervention from Harry Maguire be?!

    Bournemouth try to plough through the middle, but Maguire stands firm and wins back possession.

    That's why he was voted the Premier League's player of the month.

    An impressive redemption arc.

  18. CLOSE!published at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Wolves 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    Big chance for Forest right at the end of the first half.

    Cheikhou Kouyate is clean through but is denied when Jose Sa sticks out a big leg.

    How costly will that prove for the visitors?

  19. No impetus in Man Utd's playpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport at Old Trafford

    At the moment this game is drifting along just as Bournemouth want it to.

    Manchester United don't have a spark and the Old Trafford crowd is pretty flat.

    It needs something to spark it into life from the home side's perspective. Bournemouth are happy as they are.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Brighton 0-1 Burnley

    That Burnley goal was perfect timing just before the break too.

    Doubt Brighton will have much time to do anything to rectify it before Simon Hooper blows his whistle for the break.

    Nope. Half-time.
