Everton 0-1 Man Utd
Jamie Carragher
Former Liverpool defender on Sky Sports
Manchester United have definitely looked the more dangerous.
I feel as if you're Manchester United if you just up it a level, the game is there to be won, because I'm just struggling to see how Everton can really get a goal unless it's a piece of brilliance.
Everton 0-1 Man Utd
Maybe that goal will wake Everton up.
Or it might get United going.

Now, here comes Everton as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sends a really dangerous ball towards the far post.
Brennan Johnson gets the jump on Luke Shaw but he can't make contact.

There was nothing on when Bryan Mbeumo got the ball. He ran through two challenges, but Everton should be better to close him down. Left foot, and he curls it past Pickford. A class finish.
Everton 0-1 Man Utd
I'd seen a few text messages coming in during the first half criticising Bryan Mbeumo but that was a brilliant finish and exactly what United needed.
Bryan Mbeumo (46 mins)
Stunning.
Nightmare start to the second half for Everton as Bryan Mbeumo receives the ball wide right, he drives inside and places into the bottom corner.
Where was the tackle?

Ian Wright
Former England striker on Sky Sports
For the kind of game that Thierno Barry has to play, he needs to take chances like this if he is going to exude that confidence.
I think [the ball] is coming from such a long way he has time to see it, once he gets on the back, I think as long as he keeps his eye on the ball, he can head it back where it’s comes from.
He’s trying to head it into the goal, twisting his head. The ball is coming quickly, but he needs to understand that he has to be the one to attack that.

Daniel Sturridge
Former Liverpool striker on Sky Sports
I think it’s the timing of the run.
[Thierno Barry] times it wrong, and his body shape isn’t the best.
The only option he gave himself was near post, and it’s more of a glance. He tries to put too much power in it.

Bruno Fernandes has attempted 14 shots this season, the joint-highest total in the Premier League (alongside Erling Haaland).

This United side are incredibly wasteful. Poor decision making and end product in the final third, especially away from a home and it’s been an issue for a long time now.

A shot on target apiece in this one so far.
Can't be that bad in the second half... can it?

Arsenal v Chelsea (16:30 BST)

Cristhian Mosquera is a major doubt for Arsenal’s clash against Chelsea, which could open the door to Ezri Konsa making his full debut for the club.
Mosquera has missed training this week and indications on Sunday morning were that the Spaniard was struggling to prove his fitness. If Mosquera is unavailable as expected, Konsa appears the logical choice to start at centre-back.
The England defender hasn’t started for Arsenal since his £51m move from Aston Villa, but did come on as a substitute in the victory against his former club on Monday.
Elsewhere, Bruno Guimaraes is set to be available after suffering a knock in the win over Villa - but it remains to be seen whether he is fit enough to start.
Mikel Arteta hinted Jurrien Timber may be fit enough to return to the squad following a long-term groin issue at his pre-match press conference on Friday - but the defender is not expected to be ready.
For Chelsea, manager Xabi Alonso revealed on Friday that key midfielder Moises Caicedo is an injury doubt for the game while centre-back Levi Colwill is also understood to have faced fitness issues in the build up to the game against Arsenal.

Pat Nevin
Former Everton winger on BBC Radio 5 Live
Brilliant. Jarrad Branthwaite read it fantastically. He saved Everton there.
I think Everton can breathe an enormous sigh of relief.
There is no lack of willingness, just a lack of quality from Everton.
For Man Utd, it looks there. It just needs one of the creators.
Everton 0-0 Man Utd
And that brings a pretty dull first half to a close.
It's not been a thriller.
Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Top-level defending from Jarrad Branthwaite to time his challenge to perfection with Marcus Rashford almost certain to open the scoring.
He enjoyed that one.

Happy Birthday to Pat Nevin today. The age will remain a secret. Enjoy the match at Everton.

It breaks really nicely for Jarrad Branthwaite to have a pop in the box but he can only drive it straight at Senne Lammens.

This is more like it from Everton. They're not letting United out now as Harry Maguire is forced to hook it out from deep in his own box.

All competitions
All competitions
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League matches against Chelsea (W6 D3), their best unbeaten run against the Blues since a run of 19 between 1995 and 2005.
Chelsea have lost their last four away Premier League games against Arsenal by an aggregate score of 11-2. Their last win there was in August 2021, a 2-0 victory.
Arsenal have lost just one of their last 29 Premier League London derbies (W22 D6) and are unbeaten in their last 16 (W12 D4). The last side to have a longer unbeaten run was the Gunners themselves between August 2022 and November 2023 (17 games).
Chelsea have started 2026-27 with three consecutive wins in all competitions (two in the Premier League, one in the League Cup). The Blues last won their opening four games to a season in 2016-17 (Antonio Conte’s first four) and their opening three Premier League games in 2018-19 (under Maurizio Sarri).
Arsenal have won their first two Premier League matches this season but only once in the last 21 seasons have the Gunners started their campaign with three wins, doing so in 2022-23.
Chelsea’s two Premier League matches this season have seen 12 goals (7 for, 5 against), the joint-third most in a side’s first two games of a campaign in the competition, behind only Arsenal in 2004-05 (13) and Leeds United in 2020-21 (14). They could become the first side to see their opening three games of a top-flight season all have 5+ goals since Arsenal in 1988-89.
Across the first two matchdays of 2026-27, Arsenal faced the fewest shots (11), the fewest shots on target (1) and allowed their opponents the lowest xG (0.54) of any Premier League side. Since 2022-23, the Gunners have had 16 games where their opponents haven’t had a shot on target – twice as many as any other side (Liverpool, 8).
Bukayo Saka has scored in each of his last two Premier League appearances, last scoring in more consecutively in January/February 2024 (5 in a row). The last Arsenal player to score in their first three games in a season was Alexandre Lacazette in 2020-21.
Cole Palmer has scored 49 goals in 98 Premier League games for Chelsea. Only two players have reached 50 for the Blues in fewer than 100 games – Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (84) and Diego Costa (85).
João Pedro has scored and assisted in both of Chelsea’s Premier League games this season, the first player to do so in the club’s first two matches of a campaign. The only player to score and assist in each of his first three appearances of a Premier League season is West Ham’s Michail Antonio in 2021-22.
