GAMEWEEK 6

Well that's that from gameweek 6 and that made my head spin. Not just because I have the flu but because all four games were end-to-end action. Oh it was brilliant and next up is Gameweek 7, naturally, but not before the Carabao Cup makes its return. There are a few interesting games in the cup and hopefully, it should be another brilliant mid-week of football.

But for now, goodbye and goodnight..

CHE 1-2 LIV (FT)

CHE 1-2 LIV (FT)

Full time and Chelsea put up once hellva fight. They fought tooth and nail, went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the world and came out on the losing side. But by the slimmest margins possible, because Frank Lampard and his men need to walk out of that game with their heads held high. They forced Jurgen Klopp to switch to a back-five, something the Liverpool boss has rarely done and that alone needs to inject confidence into this Chelsea side.

Liverpool, on the other hand, look good. Their defense is slowly walking back to it's usual shape and with Alisson in goal, it just might keep an incredible amount of clean sheets yet again. But Adrian is proving to be a brilliant replacement and while he does have a few flaws to his game, he's a worth back-up and someone who will demand and deserves more game-time after his recent performances.

22 Sep, 10:57

ARS 3-2 AVL (FT)

Full time and Heaton's kick comes to nothing, but Aston Villa will be hard-pressed to find a positive walking away from the Emirates. They had the lead twice and squandered it twice, allowing the home side to eventually win 3-2 in a see-saw of a match. Fun, exciting and entertaining but tense and tight all at the same time.

For Arsenal, the only positives will be Nicolas Pepe is off the mark and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the best player they have. Barring that, Unai Emery still has a lot of work to do on his back-line, because they let in 2 completely avoidable goals against a Villa side that really should have never threatened that back-line.

22 Sep, 10:55

ARS 3-2 AVL

It's full time at the Bridge, and we'll give you the full report a little later, because the game at the Emirates is in it's dying moments. Arsenal does hold a slim lead, but Villa have a free-kick that Tom Heaton is set to smack down the field.

22 Sep, 10:54

CHE 1-2 LIV

Yellow card for Marcos Alonso as he upends Andy Roberston, who was charging down Kepa's box on a Liverpool counter. A smart foul by the Spaniard and Liverpool take the free-kick. This has been a torrid game, but fun nevertheless, with seconds away from fulltime.

22 Sep, 10:52

ARS 3-2 AVL

Yellow card for time wasting to Bernd Leno and a wave of cheers runs around the Emirates. That did waste just about 30 seconds on the clock, but it will not make a difference if Moss adds that time at the end of the five minutes.

22 Sep, 10:50

GAMEWEEK 6

Four minutes of extra-time at the Bridge and Five at the Emirates, and Sunday night football is far from over. Jurgen Klopp is set to make a defensive change, as Mo Salah is set to replaced by Joe Gomez, which is by any standards a compliment to this Chelsea side.

22 Sep, 10:49

CHE 1-2 LIV

Sorry about the lack of commentary about the big game of the night, but all the action was happening at North London. But Stamford Bridge hasn't been short of any action either, as Mason Mount shears a shot just over the post. He really should have finished that and the midfielder is limping now. He doesn't look fit and may just need to be taken off.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!

And the Emirates Stadium erupts. Arsenal fans all around the world jump up and down screaming with joy and my god who can blame them. Because, in case you missed it, Aubameyang tucked that free-kick past Tom Heaton to give Arsenal the lead for the first time in the game. 

It was a stunning set-piece by the striker, and there was nothing Heaton could have done. Well taken and well beaten.

22 Sep, 10:43

ARS 2-2 AVL

Chance for Arsenal as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is upended just in front of Tom Heaton's box. Moss blows for a free-kick and awards a yellow card, as Aubameyang walks over and stands over the ball.

22 Sep, 10:42

ARS 2-2 AVL

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!!!

Less than ten minutes left in the game and Calum Chambers toe-pokes a goal into the top corner. That was a striker's finish from the subsititute right-back, who reacted first and made the most of his milli second advantage to poke it well above Tom Heaton.

22 Sep, 10:41

CHE 1-2 LIV

Chance for Chelsea but Marcos Alonso is found offside and Adrian did not know that, making a reactive save. A brilliant one by the Spaniard, who has slowly yet steadily adapted to Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp's incredible demands. He will deserve a spot on the team even once Alisson is fit.

22 Sep, 10:39

ARS 1-2 AVL

Corner for Arsenal after a mis-kicked Nicolas Pepe bicycle kick heads towards Calum Chambers but his shot is defelected out for the corner. Nothing comes off the resulting corner and Arsenal waste yet another chance, against an Aston Villa side that haven't won in their last 20 Premier League games. That record does go back a long long way but if Arsenal does let them win, it will be a shock victory.

22 Sep, 10:34

CHE 1-2 LIV

Also incase you missed it in that chaotic moment in both games, Sadio Mane was replaced by James Milner and the Englishman had an instant shot on goal, that was just wide. Not the best defensive performance from Chelsea, and that's something they'll have to work on moving forward.

22 Sep, 10:33

ARS 1-2 AVL

Double change for Arsenal, as Granit Xhaka and Dani Ceballos walk off to be replaced by Lucas Torriera and Joe Willock respectively. The former is a change that should have been made ages ago, some may even argue that Torriera should have started, while the latter should have seen Ozil walk on. Arsenal fans chanted Ozil for a minute before fading into an Arsenal chant.

22 Sep, 10:31

CHE 1-2 LIV

GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!

N'Golo Kante pulls one back for Chelsea and that evoked memories of Eden Hazard for a minute. The Frenchman's run was wavy and brilliant, had the ball sticking to his feet before thumping it well past Adrian. A brilliant finish from the defensive midfielder and he gets his name on the score-sheet. That's exactly the more things that Chelsea need to do.

22 Sep, 10:30

CHE 0-2 LIV

Chelsea trying things with the ball right now, and they slowly move towards the Liverpool goal. They'll need more than that if they want to beat Adrian and that Liverpool backline before the full-time whistle is blown.

The second half hasn't had to much action so far, with both sides testing each other. That's good news for Liverpool, who do have a 2 nothing lead, but not so much for Chelsea. The Blues need to make sure they do more than test Adrian, which is what has happened so far, even if FPL managers will not like that at the end of the day. Hard luck fake bosses, hard luck.

22 Sep, 10:22

ARS 1-2 AVL

GOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!

Goal for Aston Villa and Wesley pokes in his second goal of the season. Just 90 seconds between the two goals, as Villa take the lead yet again. Terrible defending yet again by the Gunners and they have to do it all over again. It's been a hectic minute and a half here at the Emirates.

22 Sep, 10:20

ARS 1-1 AVL

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!

And he has his first goal for in an Arsenal shirt. A well-taken penalty by Nicolas Pepe and Arsenal level at home. It was a clear penalty on Matteo Guendouzi and Aubameyang looks overjoyed as he runs over to Pepe and gives him a high five.

22 Sep, 10:23

ARS 0-1 AVL

PENALTY FOR ARSENAL!!

Matteo Guendouzi is upended by Engels and Jonathan Moss makes no mistake and points to the spot. Nicolas Pepe places the ball on the spot and stands over the ball. The VAR check is over and Moss blows his whistle, indicating to Pepe that he can take his penalty.

Eight odd minutes into this second half and Arsenal look dead. That's right, I said dead. They cannot seem to keep a hold of the ball, they can't create anything, they're struggling to take a shot on goal, let alone find the back of the net and Emery doesn't look happy. And boos run around the Emirates stadium, with the fans naturally unhappy with the performance that their BIG Six side are putting up tonight.

22 Sep, 10:10

CHE 0-2 LIV

Chance for Liverpool and while Alexander-Arnold may have looked offside, he wasn't, and Kepa was forced to make a great save. Arnold's cross comes in from the right, it takes a deflection off Kurt Zouma, bounces off Azpilicueta and heads towards goal only to be stopped by Kepa's outstreched hand.

22 Sep, 10:06

ARS 0-1 AVL

The game at the Emirates kicks off as well, and it's a half-time change for the Gunners. Calum Chambers replaces Bukayo Saka, as Unai Emery looks to balance his back-line. That's a little harsh on the teenage Saka, who has been by far, Arsenal's best player in the opening 45. He looked bright and caused a few problems for the Villa backline.

22 Sep, 10:05

CHE 0-2 LIV

And we are off at Stamford Bridge, with the home side hoping for a better second half performance. They were outplayed for most parts of that first half and will have a lot of work to do, if they do want to get back into this game.

Three minutes of extra time in both games and neither London sides will be happy with their performance. Chelsea may be 2-0 down against Liverpool but Arsenal are 1-0 down and are down to 10 men against Aston Villa. Not exactly the best first-half for either side, and they'll need to improve on that in the second half. It will take a lot of half-time talking too change this game, but even that may not happen!!

22 Sep, 09:44

CHE 0-2 LIV

Change for Chelsea as Andreas Christensen is repalaced by Kurt Zouma after a rough challenge by Fikakyo Tomori. Yes, Tomori is a Chelsea player, which does add insult to injury for Frank Lampard and company. Not the best start for either London side is it?

22 Sep, 09:42

ARS 0-1 AVL

RED CARD FOR ARSENAL!!!

Maitland-Niles is shown a second-yellow card and Unai Emery looks frustated. He's not happy with his club's first half performance with less than four minutes left in the first half, the Gunners have gone a man down. To add insult to injury, Niles walks off injured..

22 Sep, 09:40

ARS 0-1 AVL

Chance for Aston Villa, one that is eventually ruled offside, as Tyrone Mings puts a header well wide of Bernd Leno's goal. But that's not their biggest issue as Maitland-Niles charges down Neil Taylor. It will be his second yellow card if Jonathan Moss does give him a yellow, with the Englishman still on the ground in pain.

22 Sep, 09:38

CHE 0-2 LIV

Tammy Abraham goes down after a 50/50 challenge between him and Adrian, which sees the game take a break. The Chelsea number 9 is back on the field and the game moves on. If Abraham had to be removed, then the Blues would have been in geunine trouble, because the young striker has scored a large portion of their goals this season.

22 Sep, 09:34

ARS 0-1 AVL

Amidst that flurry of decisions at Stamford Bridge, the scoreline remains the same at the Emirates. Arsenal do look good going forward, but whenever Villa attack, Arsenal fans have their hearts in their mouths. The tale of two parts, it has been and it does look like it might continue. They're still dominating possesion and passes but just can't seem to find a way past Tom Heaton.

22 Sep, 09:32

CHE 0-2 LIV

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!

Stamford Bridge erupts into cheers of SI Senor and that tells you everything doesn't it?? Roberto Firmino rises highest and thumps a header well past Kepa in goal, to give Liverpool a comanding lead. Not the first time this has happened, a goal being scored just after a VAR decision, and it will not be the last.

22 Sep, 11:07

CHE 0-1 LIV

GOAL DISALLOWED!

Another arguable decision, as the VAR finds a Mason Mount just a smidge offside in that run of play. Unfair but c'est la vie for the Blues. This is much more positive for Chelsea however, and they'll look to build on this moving forward.

22 Sep, 09:28

CHE 1-1 LIV

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!

And for once it's not a Chelsea youngster, as Cesar Azpilicueta tucks the ball in after a moment of madness inside the Liverpool box. It was a brilliant run of play, as Mason Mount backheeled it to Willian, his pass in is deflected and then deflected again before the Chelsea captain tucks it in. VAR Checks...

22 Sep, 09:25

CHE 0-1 LIV

A brilliant chance for the young Englishman, but his shot can find no-one but Adrian. It really should have been 1-1 to Chelsea, with the Reds looking very static defending, and that allowed Abraham a chance to run at Adrian. He really should have done much better with his shot, because the Blues may not get a better chance than that!!

22 Sep, 09:24

CHE 0-1 LIV

We travel to Stamford Bridge and Liverpool are doing well to keep the ball. They haven't had a decent chance on goal since the goal itself and while Frank Lampard should be happy with that, he won't be. Simply because, his side have been far from excellent going forward, with chances few and far as Tammy Abraham runs at Adrian.

22 Sep, 09:22

CHE 0-1 LIV

22 Sep, 09:21

ARS 0-1 AVL

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL!!!

And it's Aston Villa with the first goal at the Emirates as the Arsenal defenders hope for offside. Zero chance of that happening, as John McGinn ghosts in past a whole host of Arsenal defenders and tucks his shot past Bernd Leno. Yet another goal conceeded by Arsenal and their fans are clearly not happy.

22 Sep, 09:19

ARS 0-0 AVL

Possesion stats now on the board and Arsenal are dominating the ball. They have somewhere close to 70% of the ball but are yet to threaten Tom Heaton in goal, as Nicolas Pepe charges forward. The Ivorian fools his marker, but his shot is blocked out for a corner. 

22 Sep, 09:22

CHE 0-1 LIV

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!

And that had goal written all over it. A brilliant set piece routine by the Reds and Trent Alexander Arnold smashes in his first goal since a brilliant one against Watford last November, Peter Drury tells us, and FPL managers around the world jump up in joy. Why you ask? Because the set-piece routine, saw Mo Salah layoff the ball for Alexander-Arnold to smash it into the net, which means he does get the assist. A brilliant strike nevertheless.

22 Sep, 09:14

ARS 0-0 AVL

Free-kick for Villa, and Anwar El Ghazi's shot is saved comfortably by Bernd Leno. That run of play also saw Ainsley Maitland Niles get himself into the book, and it has not been a great start for the Arsenal starlet. He missed a great chance earlier in the game and has now been booked.

22 Sep, 09:12

CHE 0-0 LIV

Chelsea with their first chance of the game and Tammy Abraham cannot get his shot off. The rebound falls to Willian, who also cannot get his shot off in time and the ball is cleared. Not the best start from the Blues, but against one of the best teams in the world, they're slowly finding their way into the game. This has the makings of a rather fun game.

Five minutes into both games and both going the same way. Liverpool are testing Chelsea's back-line with a few incisive passes, while Arsenal are doing the same to Villa. The only difference you ask?

Is the fact that Villa have already managed to have a shot on goal, while Chelsea are struggling to get out of their own half!! That should change as the game moves on but Frank Lampard will be hoping for more than what he has seen so far.

Liverpool kick thing soff at the Bridge and Chelsea will be hoping for a better result against yet another BIG SIX team. Their last game just happened to be a thrashing at the hands of Manchester United, but since then the Blues have done well to pick themselves up and find their way back into the season.

22 Sep, 08:56

GAMEWEEK 6

Two very interesting games in Gameweek 6's final clash and it should be a fitting end to the weekend. Chelsea and Liverpool battle each other at Stamford Bridge, with Mason Mount back on the teamsheet.

Meanwhile in the other part of London, Arsenal hand a full Premier League debut to Buyako Saka, who partners Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and club record man Nicolas Pepe at the helm of an Arsenal attack. They hope to fight back after a terrible draw against Watford last weekend.

22 Sep, 08:27

GAMEWEEK 6

Just two games left and they're both rather interesting ones. Arsenal host Aston Villa and Chelsea host Liverpool in the marquee game of the gameweek. It should be a brilliant 90 minutes of football but for now, we take a break.

22 Sep, 08:26

CRY 1-1 WOL (FT)

Full time and that was a brilliant end to the game. Crystal Palace really should have been 2-0 up before the full time whislte and paid the price for their finishing, as Diogo Jota netted a late goal. Roy Hodgson looks far from happy, smacking his chair and then shouting angry instructions at anyone who stops to listen to him. This game really should have Palace's and they'll be kicking themselves for letting this slip through.

22 Sep, 08:24

CRY 1-1 WOL

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!

Oh and Jeffery Schlupp will be kicking himself as Diogo Jota scores his first goal of the game. It was not the prettiest goal, as Joel Ward flopped to the floor in an attempt to win the header and Jota pummels the ball into the net. No foul annouces VAR and that does look like it might be game, set and match.

22 Sep, 08:23

CRY 1-0 WOL

Schulpp charges down Patricio's goal and just couldn't find a way to put the ball into the net. He really should have done that, because it was a chance to put the game well past Wolves. 

22 Sep, 08:21

WHU 2-0 MUN (FT)

Full time and the stadium erupts. Yet another win at home against Manchester United for West Ham United and could history repeat itself?? We wait and see as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer walks away unhappy, because his side are now seven games without a win on the road. 

Not great stats for the Red Devils and they've been hammered to the ground by the Hammers.

22 Sep, 08:19

CRY 1-0 WOL

Five minutes of extra time here and like Manchester United, Wolves do not look like they can overcome this deficit. They do have the disadvantage of being down to 10 men, but the sheer fact of the matter is, they've been second best in the second half. That first half was theirs by a large margin, as it was Wolves vs Vincente Guaita and Wilf Zaha but this second half has turned things around for the home side.

22 Sep, 08:17

WHU 2-0 MUN

Possibly four minutes of extra time and West Ham's lead looks very solid. Manchester United haven't threaten Fabianski as much as they should have as yet another cross crosses the box and lands straight out for a goal-kick.

That has been a theme for the Red Devils so far, and as the camera pans towards Ed Woodward, he doesn't look happy. And he has no reason to, with his side performing well below their standards.

22 Sep, 08:12

WHU 2-0 MUN

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!

Oh and that's a stunner. David De Gea did get a hand to it, but Cresswell put just enough power on his shot to curl it well past the Spaniard's outstreched hand. He runs away and celebrates with his home fans, and Manchester United look dejected. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks dejected and can do nothing but stare at his side's miserable performance tonight. Less than 5 minutes left and while Solskjaer may have scored a few late goals in his career, this Manchester United side may not be able to hit that mark.

22 Sep, 08:10

WHU 1-0 MUN

Free-kick for West Ham yet again, and it's just inside 25 yards. Aaron Cresswell steps up yet again and shoos away any opposition, after a bad Ashley Young foul on Mark Noble. This could be their chance to put the game well out of United's reach and Cresswell's chance to score his first goal in 18 months!!

22 Sep, 08:09

CRY 1-0 WOL

It may just be 1-0 to Crystal Palace but Wolves do not look like they can get back into this game. I could be wrong, but with just ten men on the field, the away side have done close to nothing since losing Roman Saiss.

Manchester United are preparing Angel Gomes and it does look like he might replace Juan Mata.. The past and the future on the field for mere seconds, but that could prove to be a gamechanger for the away side.

22 Sep, 08:04

WHU 1-0 MUN

Cresswell cannot hit the target, but his shot does give De Gea a little bit of a scare. The Spaniard leaps up only to realise, seconds later, that the ball was flying just above his goal post. The Hammers are doing well to threaten the Red Devils, who cannot do the same.

22 Sep, 08:03

WHU 1-0 MUN

Free-kick for West Ham as Fred brings down Jack Wilshere and the world breathes a sigh of relief as the former Arsenal man gets back to his feet. Aaron Cresswell is over the kick, as Yarmolenko walks away and he is a decent free-kick taker.

RED CARD FOR WOLVES!!

Roman Saiss has been sent off after his second yellow card off the game. The first was for a slide tackle on Wilf Zaha and the second was for a pull on, once again, Wilf Zaha. Not the best night for the central midfielder and he walks off the field looking angry. 

22 Sep, 07:57

WHU 1-0 MUN

Jack Wilshere walks on for the home side, replacing Felipe Anderson as Manchester United make their second change of the night. They replace Nemanja Matic with Fred, and the Serbian will be happy to walk off the field. He hasn't had the best game and needs to improve on it, if he wants to stay in the team.

22 Sep, 07:55

WHU 1-0 MUN

Corner for Manchester United, as Ashley Young lobs it in. The ball falls to Harry Maguire, and his shot is saved quite brilliantly by Fabianski and the Red Devils' center-back has his head in his hands. He knows just how good that chance was and if an offensive player had got there first, who knows what the scoreline might be right now!

22 Sep, 07:52

CRY 1-0 WOL

Yet another chance for Wolves as Raul Jimenez tries an outrageous mid-air backheel to try and beat Guaita. That always had one result because the shot had barely any power, coming off a weak-ish cross. The Palace goalkeeper saves it comfortably and the game moves on. That has been the story of the game so far, Wolves with the outrageous attempts but few that really threatened Guaita.

22 Sep, 07:47

WHU 1-0 MUN

That does seem to be the end of Marcus Rashford as Jesse Lingard replaces the Englishman and it does look like his race is run. That's really not good news for the Red Devils and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks frustated and unhappy at the same time. 

22 Sep, 07:46

WHU 1-0 MUN

Sebastien Haller cuts a frustated figure on the field and no-one blames the Frenchman. He's been starved of possesion in this game and nobody wants to or even can get the ball towards his head, feet or body.

And Marcus Rashford falls to the ground, and that is not good news for the away side. They don't have Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood or even Romelu Lukaku(oops) on the team-sheet.

22 Sep, 07:43

WHU 1-0 MUN

Corner for West Ham, who work it short, and Felipe Anderson's pass had just too much on it for Aaron Cresswell. Manchester United try and break, but Issa Diop is there and makes a well-timed tackle to stop the counter. Not the worst attempt from the Hammers but they need to do better to double their advantage.

22 Sep, 07:41

CRY 1-0 WOL

Wolves look shell-shocked. That goal from Palace was not the way they expected the second half to go and they'll now do well to buck up and perform. Fear not Wolves fans, because if there is one thing your side can do, it's buck up and perform. They've done it time and time again in the Europa League, and it's high time they start doing it in the Premier League again.

22 Sep, 07:38

WHU 1-0 MUN

With Palace scoring in the other game of the evening, Manchester United miss a sitter just minutes after the restart. A brilliant ball is played across the defense for Juan Mata but the Spaniard just cannot seem to tuck the ball past a Fabianski who could do nothing but watch as the Spaniard missed the shot.

22 Sep, 07:37

CRY 1-0 WOL

GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!

And that's a wonder strike by Joel Ward. The Eagles have scored within 40 seconds of the restart, with Schulpp skipping past the Wolves back-line, Kouyate recycles the ball and McArthur lays it off for Ward. He puts all his might into that shot and hits it straight at Rui Patricio, but a deflection takes the ball into the goal.

22 Sep, 07:34

CRY 0-0 WOL

Half-time over here as well and Nuno Espirito Santo would not have been unhappy with his team's performance in the first half. He wouldn't have been happy either, because Wolves really should be atleast two to the good.

There's always the second half, but against a Wilfried Zaha, that might be a tough ask.
