Crystal Palace keep coming as Eberechi Eze drives into the penalty area but can't find a teammate in the middle.

Sheffield United look very wobbly defensively. That Palace goal has shaken them.

I think Forest have done really well in that first half. There are plenty of ways to play football and plenty of ways to stay in a game. They have done really well.

Arsenal have to try and draw them out and create something.

It's an interesting match.

That's what Palace have missed so much this season. They haven't been able to get Olise and Eze on the pitch at the same time as much as they'd have liked because of injury.

Forest defending excellently, Arsenal not being good enough to break them down.

A chance for both sides within a minute of each other.

Firstly Bobby de Cordova-Reid's power strike is blocked and Everton then spring a counter and it ends at the feet of Arnaut Danjuma but he can't keep his strike down.

There have been some games where Newcastle have worked really hard and been out on their feet at the end really.

They really have to get some players back.

It is still quite smoky above Villa Park after a big old fireworks display before kick off.

The hosts make a positive start and have a chance to break through three on one but Youri Tielemans plays the wrong pass.

If you are Forest, you want to get in at half-time at 0-0. Then you can regroup and change things if you need to.

The only way Arsenal get through at the moment is if they can get in behind the Forest defence.

Here we go in a clash between two sides looking for their first Premier League wins in 2024.

That's the closest to a goal at the City Ground. It falls to Arsenal's Bukayo Saka inside a crowded penalty area and he looks to place one in the bottom corner. It's going in too, but Murillo gets himself in the way and the ball could go anywhere.

Thankfully for the Forest man it squeaks wide of the post.

Palace continue to hunt for a leveller. Micahel Olise chips in a delicate cross which Jordan Ayew nods back across goal.

But Sheffield United keeper Ivo Grbic, making his first Prem start, is brave, diving forward and getting to the ball before Jefferson Lerma.

A rare chance for Forest, but Danilo blasts it over the top. Not a single shot on target from either side after 40 minutes of play.

There's a long VAR check here as Albert Sambi Lokonga catches Facundo Buonanotte after clearing the ball. He's shown a yellow but the check is to see if it is worthy of a red, but the original decision stands.

You can't see the wood for the trees in that Forest defence.

Jordan Ayew, who is back from Afcon duty, pushes forward on the left for Palace, winning his side another corner which is easily hacked away.

At the other end Will Hughes has to keep his concentration to sweep up with Oli McBurnie behind him.

It's been a quick, slick and open start across the first 10 minutes.

Everton so, so close to scoring. A shot comes in after Bernd Leno parries a shot, it bounces off Issa Diop deflects on to the crossbar, it then may have glanced the arm of a Fulham man, Antonee Robinson, on the way down, before being hacked off the line by Timothy Castagne, by the tightest of margins.

No goal and no penalty. Sean Dyche does not look happy
