Here’s how it’s all going down.



Manchester rivals collide

In the showpiece event of the day, Manchester United travel to the Etihad Stadium in Ruben Amorim’s first Manchester derby, facing a Pep Guardiola side who are searching for their second win in 11 games across all competitions.

It was the hosts who began the game with the majority of the ball, with Jeremy Doku particularly looking threatening down the left hand side.

And Manchester United’s start to the game took a downward turn just 12 minutes in when Mason Mount, who had impressed in midweek, was forced off with yet another injury.

Neither side could offer much in attack in the opening stages, with Phil Foden firing the best effort narrowly wide in an otherwise low-quality affair.

But with the first shot on target of the game, City were ahead as a deflected cross from Kevin de Bruyne was headed home by Josko Gvardiol 10 minutes from half time.

Andre Onana was then called into action to tip a Phil Foden effort around the post, with United failing to have a shot on target across the first half.


Brighton lose to Crystal Palace

Scorers: Guehi (OG) 87′; Chalobah 27′, Sarr 33′, 82′

A newfound rivalry kicks off the day’s action as Brighton play host to Crystal Palace, with both sides looking to return to winning ways.

It was Palace’s Dean Henderson who was first called into action as he was forced to turn away a rasping drive from Kaoru Mitoma.

Brighton remained in the ascendency as Palace struggled to offer any threat in the other direction, though they defended stoutly and offered the hosts little by way of efforts on goal.

And against the run of play, the Eagles took the lead from a corner as a Will Hughes delivery eventually reached Trevoh Chalobah, who gleefully stabbed the ball home from four yards out.

Minutes later, Palace had doubled their advantage as Tyrick Mitchell beat Tariq Lamptey to a long ball before hanging the ball up to the back post, where Ismaila Sarr gratefully pounced to make it 2-0.

Brighton offered little by way of response as the Eagles began to take control, with Eberechi Eze heading another effort wide as they looked to extend their advantage before the break.

However, Palace held on to their commanding position heading into the interval.

The Seagulls introduced Julio Enciso at half time as they moved into a back three to seek a route back into the encounter, and they were much improved after the break, with Dean Henderson called into action on several occasions.

But they could not find a way through, and Palace thought they had added a third goal with 25 minutes left to play, only for Munoz’s effort to be ruled out for a foul in the build up.

Brighton continued to push forward looking for a way to reduce the deficit, throwing on a trio of attackers and leaving themselves increasingly exposed at the back.

And another mistake from Lewis Dunk at the back finally secured all three points for Palace, as Ismaila Sarr stole in to run away from the England international, before slotting the ball past Verbruggen to complete the win.

There was time for Brighton to pull one back as a clearance crashed into Marc Guehi and back over the line in comical fashion, but it proved too little, too late for Hurzeler’s side as Palace held onto a famous win.
