The Hammers make another two changes, with Edson Alvarez and goalscorer Michail Antonio making way for Kalvin Phillips and Danny Ings.

Leon Bailey will be annoyed Ollie Watkins didn't make more of that chance.

It's an outstanding swerving ball from Bailey deep in Villa's half that puts Watkins through on goal, but the England striker can't get enough curl on his effort to find the top right corner.

Calvin Bassey recovers to prevent Luis Diaz getting a shot away, before Liverpool earn their second corner.

It's cleared as far as Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right but he overhits the cross and it sails out.

That clearance from Illia Zabarnyi came very close to going in his own net.

Luckily for him it trickles wide of the post and out for an Aston Villa corner, which comes to nothing.

Naouirou Ahamada has only just come on but is already in the book, for a late challenge on West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse.

Liverpool earn the game's first corner and they play it short to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The England full-back whips in a teasing outswing cross, which is met by Luis Diaz, whose glancing header goes inches past the far post.

Bournemouth have swapped out centre-back Marcos Senesi, who was on a yellow card, for Antoine Semenyo.

Mark Clattenburg was once considered the best referee we had in this country. He has now got a role with Nottingham Forest, you would think he would be very much involved with this.

So Nottingham Forest with that statement will be confident with what they are saying, but I still think it is a remarkable thing to say.

The FA, Howard Webb and the PGMOL - it will certainly ruffle feathers from them.

What they have to say about this is the next step.

Liverpool get us started at Craven Cottage. After Arsenal went back to the top of the table yesterday. can the Reds confirm they are still very much in this title race too?

Nottingham Forest say they are "considering their options" over "extremely poor" refereeing decisions following their 2-0 defeat at Everton.

The club said they had "warned" the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL) that "the VAR is a Luton fan but they didn't change him".

"Three extremely poor decisions - three penalties not given - which we simply cannot accept," the club said on X, external.

"Our patience has been tested multiple times."

Although they did not name the official, the video assistant referee was Stuart Attwell.

You can read this breaking news story as it develops here.

Palace make their first change, with midfielder Adam Wharton coming off for Naouirou Ahamada.

That's a great save from Emi Martinez to deny Dango Ouattara from netting a header at the back post.

He drops low quickly to make the stop and ensure Aston Villa stay ahead.

After all the action of the first half, it's now quietened down at Selhurst Park.

But guess what folks... we've got ANOTHER Premier League game about to kick off across London!!

The teams are coming out at Craven Cottage.

Illia Zabarnyi gets a yellow card for grabbing Ollie Watkins and preventing an Aston Villa counter-attack.

That's both of Bournemouth's centre-halves in the book.

Palace go straight up the other end and cut the ball back for Eberechi Eze, who takes a couple of touches to steady himself and shift it inside the covering defenders before his sidefooted effort is well saved low to his left by Lukasz Fabianski.

The Hammers deal with the corner though. Danger cleared.

Ollie Watkins goes alone, cutting away from a couple of Bournemouth defenders before teeing up his strike.

His shot gets a deflection on the way in which takes all the power out of it and makes it a comfortable catch for Neto.
