Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace:<\/strong> Nketiah gets a warm reception from the home fans as he\u2019s introduced to replace Pino. As for Arsenal, Mosquera took over from Saliba at half-time.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace:<\/strong> The Gunners are really piling on the pressure now. Gabriel sends a long ball through to Trossard in the box, who looks to tap it past Henderson, but Mitchell can clear it away.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Drew Lundgren has messaged in to say:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEze has been doing this all season. When the ball bundles back near the penalty spot via a missed pull back, rounded shot, or, in this case, deliberate pass, Eze is there hitting shots with either foot. Arsenal definitely haven\u2019t had someone with that instinct & ability in the Arteta era.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace:<\/strong> Huge chance for Arsenal to extend their lead as Gabriel\u2019s header rattles the crossbar. The ball drops back out to Rice, who forces a strong save from Henderson. Palace can eventually clear, but only as far as Saka who curls his attempt around the post.<\/p>\n

    GOAL! Wolves 2-2 Burnley (Marshall Munetsi, 45+4)<\/h2>\n

    Munetsi equalises for Wolves on the brink of half-time! Bellegarde does well to break into the box with a winding run before crossing to Krejc\u00ed, who heads it back and into the path of Munetsi. The midfielder is then able to fire his effort home to level things up!<\/p>\n

      GOAL! Wolves 0-1 Burnley (Zian Flemming, 14)<\/h2>\n

      What. A. Goal.<\/p>\n

      Hartman plays a brilliant switch ball over to Flemming just outside the Wolves box. The midfielder takes it perfectly, slotting his first-time shot into the bottom-left corner with ease.<\/p>\n

      I think even Wolves fans will applaud that one.<\/p>\n

      KICK-OFF – Premier League<\/h2>\n

      We\u2019re under way in the four early Premier League games!<\/p>\n

      Hearts beat Celtic to go eight points clear<\/h2>\n

      It\u2019s all over at Tynecastle Park! Hearts extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to EIGHT points thanks to a 3-1 win over Celtic! Strikes from Alexandros Kyziridis and Lawrence Shankland, along with an own-goal from Dane Murray, was enough to take the victory in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

      Share<\/p>\n

      Scottish Premiership:<\/strong> Four minutes have been added on as Hearts lead Celtic 3-1 in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

      After a very brief injury scare, Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es starts<\/strong> for Arsenal. There had been some concern regarding a knock picked up against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid midweek, but the centre-back retains his place in the Gunners\u2019 line-up today.<\/p>\n

      Share<\/p>\n

      Mary Waltz has messaged in from the US to say:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u201cGreetings from California. I consider myself a rational human so I ignore the recent spate of end of the world predictions. But with Hearts running Celtic off the pitch, Sunderland second in the table, who knows…..?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

      Share<\/p>\n

      John Brewin<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sean Dyche is in the building.<\/strong> Now, can he last longer than 39 days at Nottingham Forest? Soon, the Vitality Stadium\u2019s rafters will be rocked by his baritone. He has made one change from the Porto game, and he\u2019s already won one more game than Ange Postecoglou. A quick turnaround, though those acquainted with his spells at Burnley and Everton will know he is never one for rotation. He comes up against a Bournemouth team still in the top five, who have made one change from last week, Veljko Milosavljevic, just 18, at centre-back Eli Junior Kroupi, 19, will be their centre-forward after his two goals against Crystal Palace last week. The last time Dyche was here, in January with Everton, was his last game in charge of that club. Bournemouth won 1-0, the goal scored by David Brooks, on the bench here.<\/p>\n
