    Wolves 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    Free header for Hwang Hee-Chan but he puts it over the bar. To be fair to the Wolves forward, it was from a tight angle and Matt Turner had it covered.

    Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth have the ball in the back of the net. But the flag is already raised for offside.

    Left-back Milos Kerkez dinks a cross into the box and Dominic Solanke's header is pushed out by Andre Onana as far as Marcus Tavernier.

    Tavernier reacts quickly to knock into the net - but he knows the flag will be up.

    Solanke was a good half a yard offside in the first place.

    Bournemouth's game plan is to defend in numbers, defend deep and then spring those attacks. They've been very effective so far.

    Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    Anthony Martial is feeding off scraps at the moment.

    The Frenchman gamely gallops after a long punt down the left channel, but Neto comes across to see out the danger.

    Wolves 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    They have the lead but a long way to go for Forest who have won only half of their Premier League matches this season in which they netted the opener.

    Former Celtic striker on BBC 5 Live

    For Manchester United everybody will be looking at that decision from Erik ten Hag to play Anthony Martial as a central striker instead of Hojlund.

    What Martial are we going to get this afternoon - a motivated Martial or a moody Martial?

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Brighton are turning up the heat and Burnley have some defending to do.

    Adam Lallana misses the target with an effort, while Clarets left-back Charlie Taylor nips in to clear just as Simon Adingra thinks he is going to tap in the opener.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Brentford

    A crunching challenge by Auston Trusty who goes straight into Stuart Attwell's book. It looked bad but the conditions are awful at Bramall Lane.

    Almost dropped Solanke from my fantasy team but just had a feeling he'd score today.

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Lucky boy! Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen gets away with one.

    He flaps at a cross from the right under pressure from Jay Rodriguez, relieved to see the ball slip away to safety.

    Wolves 0-1 Nottingham Forest

    Wolves fans are silent and Steve Cooper's name is ringing out around Molineux. A really positive performance so far by Nottingham Forest who have come out fighting.

    Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    Better from the home side.

    The ball is moved quickly down the left flank, knocked inside to Scott McTominay but United's top scorer cannot get a clean strike away.

    McTominay causes a nuisance again a few seconds later, popping up in the box like prime Scholes.

    Bournemouth hold firm though.

    GOAL - Wolves 0-1 Nottingham Forestpublished at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Harry Toffolo

    Perfect start for Forest. Perfect start for Steve Cooper.

    Harry Toffolo rises to meet a wonderful deliver by Neco Williams.

    Cooper has changed his system and Forest's players are delivering for their under-pressure manager.

    I mentioned about the conditions earlier and Lewis Cook played them really well.

    He anticipated the ball skidding off the turf and nipped in for it before Scott McTominay could react.

    Dominic Solanke also used the wet pitch to slide the ball into the far corner.

    That is only the second time Bournemouth have ever led on this ground.

    The last time - in 2020 - it stayed that way for 14 minutes and the Cherries ended up losing 5-2.

    A Sheffield United fan has turned up in a red Santa hat and fake white beard to spread some festive cheer. On the pitch, the Blades have started reasonably well as they look first win since 4 November.

    Back to the drawing board from United then. Why am I not surprised?

  17. Bournemouth 'finding their feet'published at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    They are finding their feet and having a belief in the way they play. They aren't bothered about possession but they are excellent out of possession and really caught Manchester United out.

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Burnley are playing in the manner which Vincent Kompany demands in the opening exchanges.

    Lots of industry when Brighton have the ball, moving the ball quickly when they win back possession.

    A decent chance falls to Jóhann Gudmundsson, who cuts inside on the right and bends a curler just wide of the far post.

  19. Giggs at Man Utd todaypublished at 15:09 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Ryan Giggs is at Old Trafford today.

    Salford's League Two trip to Bradford was called off earlier today, so Giggs has taken the option of coming to Manchester United, where holds the appearance record (963) by some distance.

    Of the current squad, Marcus Rashford has played the most games, with 378.

  20. Postpublished at 15:09 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth

    Almost a quick response from Manchester United.

    Harry Maguire, named the Premier League's player of the month for November, stays upfield from a set-piece and loops a header which threatens to drip in.

    Safety first for Neto who pushes over the bar.
