    Chelsea 0-0 Preston

    Preston are causing problems!

    They win a corner on the left, it's kept in by Preston and Brad Potts' cross is headed on a few times in the area before Chelsea eventually clear the juggling ball.

    We have overpaid for Caicedo by about £100m. Not a great tackler, a very poor passer and pretty slow across the pitch.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Huge noise from the home fans as Middlesbrough have their first shot on goal, and it is a decent one as Morgan Rogers' near-post drive is pushed behind.

    A great ball in, Leander Dendoncker tried to guide it towards goal but it was a difficult header with the ball having pace.

    Chelsea will allow you to have possession. The pressing side of the game isn't one of their strengths.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Jacob Ramsey receives the ball in a pocket of space inside the box and his shot from a tight angle is pushed over by Tom Glover.

    From the corner, Leander Dendoncker's header just misses the target, before Jhon Durán's piledriver from distance is well saved by Glover.

    A decent spell for the visitors.

    Alfie Gilchrist does really well to block the cross from Liam Millar after Will Keane's superb pass had split open Chelsea's defence.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Middlesbrough are yet to have a shot on or off target yet but they will be pretty happy with their defensive display against the side sitting second in the Premier League.

    Liam Miller looks like he might have the beating of Alfie Gilchrist, but the problem is that he's picking the ball up in his own half.

    He should score Fernandez. You can see the surprise on his face that the ball came to him.

    Chelsea 0-0 Preston

    Raheem Sterling's picked out by Cole Palmer and he puts it into the mixer for Enzo Fernandez.

    He has a free header and should score from close range but it's straight at the keeper again.

    FT: QPR 2-3 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth have been one of the in-form teams in the Premier League in recent weeks.

    Swansea 0-0 Morecambe

    One of the key factors in Swansea's decision to appoint new head coach Luke Williams was the possession-based, free-flowing style of play he'd instilled at Notts County.

    It's the kind of ethos that had become synonymous with the Swans in recent years, but seemed to have been lost under Michael Duff earlier this season.

    Around 25 minutes into his reign, albeit against League Two opponents, Williams certainly has his side playing 'the Swansea Way' again.

    They've had almost 80% of the ball against Morecambe, but genuine scoring opportunities have been at a premium so far.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa have an opportunity with a free-kick and John McGinn's delivery is decent but no-one can get the touch inside the box. Chance gone.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Middlesbrough have had just 21% possession but they do look a bit of a danger down the flanks. Isaiah Jones chases a ball down the right, his cross is blocked and he is then booked for a foul as he tries to win back possession.
