2025-01-26T20:58:36Z

A low quality end to the weekend.

2025-01-26T20:56:30Z

FULL TIME! Fulham 0-1 Manchester United

Three massive points for the Red Devils on the road. Far from a classic, but a fourth win in five could perhaps hand them some much needed momentum.


2025-01-26T20:55:09Z

No.

2025-01-26T20:54:45Z

Can Fulham make the most of that let off? We are in added time of added time.

2025-01-26T20:53:52Z

DISALLOWED GOAL! Fulham 0-1 Manchester United (Diallo)

Manchester United thought they had sealed all three points! Some bright footwork eventually ends with Amad Diallo poking it past Leno!

A VAR check rules it out though, and it remains 1-0.

2025-01-26T20:51:19Z

CHANCE!

Muniz should have put Fulham level! The cross from Robinson is nodded down and Muniz snatches at it, sending it into row Z from 6 yards out!

2025-01-26T20:46:53Z

OFF THE LINE! 

Joachim Andersen's header is goalbound but Toby Collyer heads it off the line just minutes after coming on.

He has potentially just saved the Red Devils as we head into six added minutes.

2025-01-26T20:41:36Z

Not ideal for Man Utd, but they won't care at all...

2025-01-26T20:40:01Z

Time for Fulham changes too- Tom Cairney and Andreas Pereira replace Emile Smith Rowe and Sasa Lukic.

2025-01-26T20:37:37Z

Another couple of changes from Manchester United. Kobbie Mainoo and Tyrell Malacia replace Alejandro Garnacho and Noussair Mazraoui.

2025-01-26T20:36:15Z

GOAL! Fulham 0-1 Manchester United (Martinez)

A massive slice of luck but Manchester United won't care. They are ahead! Lisandro Martinez takes aim from 25 yards but his effort takes a massive deflection off Sasa Lukic and loops it over Leno.

The game needed that!

2025-01-26T20:32:51Z

Ugarte's evening is over as he is replaced by Toby Collyer. Meanwhile, Adama fires over the bar from 18 yards.

2025-01-26T20:30:09Z

Harry Maguire makes an excellent intervention to head the ball clear just as it looked like Muniz might have a tap in.

Then Traore is bought down by Ugarte, who picks up a yellow card.

2025-01-26T20:25:11Z

Neither team has had a touch in the opposition box this half yet. We have 23 minutes left for that to change.

2025-01-26T20:21:46Z

A change for Fulham with Jimenez replaced by Rodrigo Muniz.

Lisandro Martinez is lucky as one of his two footed jumping tackles just misses Traore.

2025-01-26T20:15:14Z

Manchester United make two changes too, with De Ligt and Hojlund coming off to be replaced by Yoro and Zirkzee.

2025-01-26T20:11:07Z

Just minutes into the second half and Fulham are forced into a change. Harry Wilson can't continue and he's replaced by Adama Traore.


2025-01-26T20:03:08Z

KICK OFF! 

Things can't get any worse in the next 45 minutes.

2025-01-26T20:01:06Z

Is this United's biggest problem right now?

2025-01-26T19:55:58Z

Not much from Fulham either....

2025-01-26T19:53:21Z

I wasn't kidding.

2025-01-26T19:47:01Z

Anthony Taylor brings a dull first half to a close.

It can only get better, right?


2025-01-26T19:41:41Z

I would love to bring you action, but there has been none. Fulham have seen Raul Jimenez blaze over but otherwise neither side has offered a massive threat.

2025-01-26T19:33:56Z

Manchester United fans screaming for their side to attack.

They haven't yet.

2025-01-26T19:28:38Z

The Manchester United fans have been vocal in west London so far.

Their team have been less impressive.

2025-01-26T19:19:51Z

Safe to say Manchester United are still trying to figure things out.

2025-01-26T19:10:51Z

It's been a slow start so far, with Fulham looking the brighter side at the moment.

Alex Iwobi tests Onana with a long-range effort.

2025-01-26T19:00:52Z

KICK OFF! Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

We're underway in London.


2025-01-26T18:52:43Z

Attention now turns to Craven Cottage. Manchester United could desperately do with all three points and have an excellent record away to Fulham.

Can they continue it?

2025-01-26T18:44:11Z

The key man for Villa today cost them absolutely nothing.

2025-01-26T18:40:27Z

This was how West Ham drew level...

2025-01-26T18:34:40Z

🚨 FULL TIME! Aston Villa 1-1 West Ham

Late drama but it's spoils shared at Villa Park.


2025-01-26T18:34:12Z

GOAL DISALLOWED!

West Ham think they have won it but Tomas Soucek is offside before teeing up Paqueta.

2025-01-26T18:32:17Z

Into the final minute of stoppage time and maybe West Ham have settled for a point. Potter takes off Kudus to bring on midfielder Guido Rodriguez for the final seconds.

2025-01-26T18:28:55Z

It's end to end here, Paqueta misses the ball with an overhead kick before Villa look to release Duran at the other end.

Anyone's game in the final minutes.

2025-01-26T18:26:05Z

Into 7 minutes of added time...

2025-01-26T18:24:32Z

Graham Potter obviously thought so too. He takes off the Mexican with Andy Irving replacing him.

Into the final two minutes of the 90.


2025-01-26T18:22:36Z

Alvarez is very lucky to still be on the pitch. On a yellow card, he makes two challenges that another ref may have shown him another card for (looking at you, Michael Oliver).

Fortunately for him, this referee opts not to.

2025-01-26T18:17:39Z

They almost do! Danny Ings fires just wide from the edge of the penalty area!

2025-01-26T18:15:48Z

10 minutes left for either side to find a winner. As it stands, West Ham are looking the more likely team to do so...

2025-01-26T18:10:27Z

West Ham make changes too. Ollie Scales and Danny Ings replace Carlos Soler and Emerson.

A change of shape from Potter?

2025-01-26T18:08:06Z

Emery rolls the dice again. John McGinn and Emi Buendia replace Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey as they seek a winner.

2025-01-26T18:06:18Z

GOAL! Aston Villa 1-1 West Ham (Emerson)

It felt like another goal was coming and it goes the way of West Ham. Edson Alvarez crosses the ball to the back post, where Emerson is waiting to nod past Emi Martinez to level the game with 20 minutes to play!

2025-01-26T18:00:49Z

Emery has seen enough. Donyell Malen comes on for Leon Bailey and Jhon Duran replaces Ollie Watkins. Can that be the key to adding a second goal?


2025-01-26T17:59:25Z

Tomáš Souček goes into the book for stopping a promising counter attack, before Morgan Rogers does the same a minute later and also goes into the book.

2025-01-26T17:56:45Z

Off the line!

Emi Martinez tries to catch a cross, but collides with Matty Cash and spills it to Carlos Soler.

Fortunately for Villa, Soler's effort is cleared off the line by Ezri Konsa's knee.

2025-01-26T17:53:58Z

It continues to be scrappy at Villa Park. Edson Alvarez brings down Leon Bailey and Lucas Digne fires his free kick over the bar.

2025-01-26T17:47:17Z

🚨 TEAM NEWS! 

Amorim continues with Amad and Garnacho either side of Hojlund at Craven Cottage, with Fernandes back in midfield.

Elsewhere, Fulham are almost full strength.

2025-01-26T17:42:25Z

KICK OFF!

We're back underway, and immediately Lucas Digne is on the floor, having been caught by Paqueta,

2025-01-26T17:33:37Z

Sums it up

2025-01-26T17:26:12Z

HALF TIME! Aston Villa 1-0 West Ham

The ref brings the chaos to an end, with both sets of players now having 15 minutes to cool off.


2025-01-26T17:23:33Z

VAR check for an "elbow" from Lucas Digne on Lucas Paqueta as it all becomes a bit tetchy.

From the eventual free kick, the ball falls to Paqueta, who fires wide.

2025-01-26T17:21:03Z

It has all got a bit scrappy in added time, and Youri Tielemans goes into the book for a foul on Paqueta. Then, Aaron Cresswell also gets himself booked for dissent.

2025-01-26T17:17:16Z

This remains the only goal of the game, and it was a tidy finish.

2025-01-26T17:16:24Z

Six minutes will be added on in the first half. It's all gone quite quiet at Villa Park.

2025-01-26T17:14:04Z

That injury has just stalled the Aston Villa momentum. They play themselves into trouble a couple of times and give away some cheap fouls. West Ham will be hoping they can grab a goal in the chaos.

2025-01-26T17:07:42Z

Nope. That's it for Mings. He's caught the ball mid-air and is in tears as he leaves the pitch. Horrible for him after just making it back.

Lamare Bogarde is coming on to replace the Villa man.

2025-01-26T17:04:07Z

He's back on to a massive cheer, and Emery breathes a sigh of relief...

2025-01-26T17:02:10Z

Some serious concern for Tyrone Mings here. Kudus blocks his clearance and Mings is in serious pain holding his knee. He's just come back from a knee injury too.

2025-01-26T16:58:29Z

Aston Villa come close again as Ollie Watkins heads at Areola, before Youri Tielemans drags his left-footed effort narrowly wide.

Can they get the all-important second goal?


2025-01-26T16:51:11Z

West Ham are improving, and force a corner which Carlos Soler takes. It comes to nothing though.

2025-01-26T16:45:56Z

West Ham are starting to grow into the game, but they are yet to test Martinez.

2025-01-26T16:41:07Z

Disallowed goal!

It's almost two! Ollie Watkins just strays offside before finding Morgan Rogers, who poked home.

2025-01-26T16:39:35Z

GOAL! Aston Villa 1-0 West Ham (Ramsey)

After just eight minutes the home team take the lead! Jacob Ramsey exchanges passes with Ollie Watkins before flicking the ball past Alphonse Areola!

His first Premier League goal in 18 months!


2025-01-26T16:36:43Z

Aston Villa almost have a 1v1 but an excellent sliding challenge from Max Kilman hooks the ball away from inside the penalty area.

It's been a quiet start to the game otherwise.

2025-01-26T16:31:35Z

KICK OFF!

We are underway at Villa Park. Unai Emery, serving a touchline ban, watches on from the stands.


2025-01-26T16:24:43Z

The weather isn't great in the midlands as the teams get ready.

2025-01-26T16:11:24Z

In fact, it's been a historically bad one.

2025-01-26T16:06:09Z

It's not been a good week for Spurs...

2025-01-26T15:58:02Z

🚨 FULL TIME: Crystal Palace 1-2 Brentford 

Brentford hold on for a big three points!


2025-01-26T15:57:59Z

🚨 FULL TIME! Tottenham 1-2 Leicester City

Leicester hold on for a massive win in north London. Massive boos at full time, is this the end of Postecoglou?


2025-01-26T15:54:19Z

Brentford bring on Ben Mee to try and see out the result. In north London, Tottenham are not really threatening too much, but you wouldn't rule out a late equaliser.

2025-01-26T15:51:10Z

If this result stays the same, Tottenham will be a point above Everton...

2025-01-26T15:50:07Z

For Mbeumo's second penalty, Wissa went above and beyond to distract Henderson.

He'll be glad he didn't try it for the first one...

2025-01-26T15:48:28Z

There's a massive NINE minutes of added time at Selhurst Park!

Meanwhile, we'll play another seven in north London.

2025-01-26T15:47:02Z

That was Esse's first touch by the way....

2025-01-26T15:46:03Z

We hardly had time to reflect on Damsgaard's assist before Palace pulled one back...

2025-01-26T15:42:38Z

GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-2 Brentford (Esse)

Two minutes into his debut! Romain Esse has only just come on, but pulls one back for Palace after being left unmarked at the back post.

Game on.

2025-01-26T15:38:11Z

GOAL! Crystal Palace 0-2 Brentford (Schade)

Brentford have doubled their advantage! Kevin Schade begins the move, finding Mikkel Damsgaard on the right hand side.

The Dane's cross is well met by Schade, who had continued his run, and it flies past Henderson!


2025-01-26T15:36:26Z

Tottenham are pushing for an equaliser, but Leicester are still a threat on the counter attack.

Meanwhile, yellow cards are being given out for fun in north London.

2025-01-26T15:31:55Z

Bryan Mbeumo keeps on climbing the ranks, and is now just five goals behind in the golden boot race.

2025-01-26T15:29:56Z

18 minutes to go, and both games have just a goal in it!

Eddie Nketiah is on for Ismaila Sarr for Crystal Palace.

2025-01-26T15:24:48Z

This is what VAR took issue with....

2025-01-26T15:22:49Z

GOAL! Crystal Palace 0-1 Brentford (Mbeumo)

Mbeumo has a second chance from the spot after VAR spotted Marc Guehi encroaching from the original effort.

This time, he goes the other way and sends Henderson the wrong way!

Harsh on Palace that.


2025-01-26T15:20:48Z

PENALTY MISSED! Crystal Palace 0-1 Brentford (Mbeumo)

Crystal Palace concede a penalty after Nathan Collins is bundled over, but Bryan Mbuemo hits the post!

It was a slow run up and jump from the Bees top goalscorer! But hang on a minute...

2025-01-26T15:18:38Z

🚨 TEAM NEWS!

Aston Villa resist the temptation to throw a debut to Donyell Malen or Andres Garcia, with both on the bench alongside Emi Buendia and Jhon Duran.

Meanwhile, West Ham have Aaron Wan-Bissaka at centre-back, and are still without a striker.

2025-01-26T15:16:43Z

Look away, Tottenham fans!

2025-01-26T15:16:20Z

Jamie Vardy continued his immense sh*thousery after scoring vs Spurs...

2025-01-26T15:14:52Z

CLOSE! Crystal Palace 0-0 Brentford

Eze's low free kick takes a deflection off the wall and it flicks off the post! Munoz then has two efforts before it sails out for a throw in.


2025-01-26T15:12:48Z

Richarlison is taken off, likely due to his recent injury, to be replaced by Mikey Moore.

Reguilon is also on for Pape Sarr.

Now Spurs have a mountain to climb.

2025-01-26T15:11:14Z

Safe to say Tottenham fans aren't happy right now....

2025-01-26T15:09:49Z

GOAL! Tottenham 1-2 Leicester (El Khannous)

WOW! Tottenham have fallen apart here as Bilal El Khannous finds the bottom corner as Leicester score twice inside four minutes The Leicester fans can't believe it, and Spurs are shellshocked!


2025-01-26T15:05:19Z

GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Leicester (Vardy)

Leicester catch Spurs sleeping. The referee plays an excellent advantage and Jamie Vardy smashes it home after three attempts.

A scrappy goal, but the Foxes won't care!

2025-01-26T15:04:25Z

Richarlison has proved his point...

2025-01-26T15:04:02Z

KICK OFF!

We're back underway in both games.

Can Leicester avoid an EIGHTH straight Premier League defeat. They'll need to score at least one in the next 45 minutes.

2025-01-26T14:59:45Z

One bright spark in south London...

2025-01-26T14:49:42Z

With just one goal in the opening games, enjoy what we hoped Spurs vs Leicester might have looked like.

There's still time, right? Right?

2025-01-26T14:49:06Z

HALF TIME! Tottenham 1-0 Leicester

Not a classic in north London either.


Spurs just about deserve the lead, and Leicester will need to be better in the second half.

2025-01-26T14:46:58Z

HALF TIME! Crystal Palace 0-0 Brentford

A half of few chances...


Still goalless heading into the second half.

2025-01-26T14:42:54Z

Effective finishing from Richarlison...

2025-01-26T14:40:05Z

It's been a good response from Leicester after going a goal behind. They must be confident of getting at least one goal here.

2025-01-26T14:35:30Z

GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Leicester (Richarlison)

It was coming! Tottenham have been knocking on the door and Porro whips a delicious cross onto the head of Richarlison, who makes no mistake.


2025-01-26T14:34:27Z

Tottenham 0-0 Leicester

CLOSE! Tottenham hit the bar and it's an excellent save from Stolarczyk!

He tips what looks to be a miscued cross onto the bar.

2025-01-26T14:27:47Z

Halfway through the early kick offs and no one has found the net yet. Both games are finely poised with both sides having chances to open the scoring.

2025-01-26T14:26:23Z

YELLOW CARD! Maxence Lacroix

The French centre-back is the first man into the book after he brings down Roeslev. Mbuemo's free kick is fired just wide from 25 yards.

2025-01-26T14:22:48Z

CLOSE!

Yoanne Wissa takes aim from the edge of the penalty area, forcing an excellent save from Dean Henderson!

2025-01-26T14:21:28Z

Crystal Palace 0-0 Brentford 

The game has dropped into a pattern of Brentford position, with Palace looking to hit them on the break.

2025-01-26T14:15:29Z

Tottenham 0-0 Leicester

Leicester are in the ascendency here. Jordan Ayew has a shot blocked as they look to find their first goal in five Premier League games.

2025-01-26T14:10:32Z

Tottenham 0-0 Leicester

No Premier League clash has more goals per game on average than Spurs vs Leicester, but neither side has managed a shot in the opening minutes.


2025-01-26T14:09:06Z

Crystal Palace 0-0 Brentford 

It's been a fast start at Selhurst Park, and after some early Brentford pressure Jean-Philippe Mateta tests Flekken in the Brentford goal.


2025-01-26T14:02:05Z

KICK OFF! 

We are underway in both games.

2025-01-26T13:54:34Z

Will anyone today have a better day than Ouattara? This was his hat-trick yesterday...

2025-01-26T13:37:19Z

Tottenham have Rupert Grint watching on today.

They will be hoping for some magic on the pitch as well as off it.

I'll show myself out.

2025-01-26T13:22:31Z

Crystal Palace will be hoping to upset their party though, and former defender Joel Ward has backed them to do so.

2025-01-26T13:13:01Z

It's a milestone moment for Thomas Frank this afternoon...

2025-01-26T13:00:30Z

Mikkel Damsgaard signed a new deal at Brentford this week and the Denmark midfielder is named from the start for the Bees ..

2025-01-26T12:59:34Z

The other early game today takes place at Selhurst Park with Crystal Palace taking on Brentford. Palace's XI is up with new man Romain Esse on the bench ...

2025-01-26T12:48:01Z

Ans here's the Leicester side looking to end their recent winless run ...

2025-01-26T12:46:32Z

🚨 TEAM NEWS!

The Spurs team news is in with Richarlison keeping his place in the XI from Thursday's win in Germany ...

2025-01-26T12:35:19Z

Team news from north London should be dropping in the next 10 minutes, but away from the Premier League, Chelsea have just broken the world transfer record for USA international Naomi Girma ...

2025-01-26T12:21:45Z

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Sunday's Premier League live blog. We'll be bringing you all the action from four games, including Tottenham's clash with Leicester and Manchester United's trip to Fulham.
