Goal! Nottingham Forest 3-0 Fulham (Gibbs-White, 45+3)

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

Isak, who is having a fine game, drops deep and then creates a chance for himself in turning and shooting, the ball deflected behind by Pickford.

Kick-off at the London Stadium

Forest 2-0 Fulham

Muniz at last gets a chance but can only head down a cross to be picked up. That was better from an improved Fulham.

Burnley 0-0 Wolves

Big miss for Joao Gomes for Wolves, a header he really might have done better with. Both those 7.45 kick-offs have been slow to get started.

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

The best chance yet for Everton as Onana’s sharp pass allows Doucoure to turn and shoot. It’s well saved by Dubravka.

Forest 2-0 Fulham

Has the Forest fire abated? Yes, a little. Fulham’s changes have made something of an effect, and passing the ball a little better than before.

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

Isak tries to send Jacob Murphy away, but Pickford is aware to the danger. It’s Newcastle who continue to threaten, and Everton to look poor. Another Newcastle knock? It seems so, with Lewis Hall having taken a knock. He’s moving OK, a player in whom there is a doubt he can complete the 90.

Bournemouth 0-0 Wolves

A bit less availability of info from these games but with no shots in the first 20 minutes, not much is being missed.

Forest 2-0 Everton

Fulham are preparing to make changes. It seems Marco Silva has seen quite enough of his team. Cairney, Willian and Traore off, as Lukic, Iwobi and Wilson off, too. The former Derby player is booed off.

Newcastle 1-0 Everton

That goal seems to have forced Everton back into their shell, and Newcastle have been passing the ball around nicely.

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Fulham

It really is all Forest, as Gibbs-White – again – lays up a chance that Elanga hits wide. Forest could be four up here.

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Fulham

It continues to be all Forest at the City Ground. This is the type of defiance their fans wanted to see from them after that points deduction.

Goal! Nottingham Forest 2-0 Fulham (Wood, 19)

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Fulham

Almost a repeat showing from Hudson-Odoi but instead this time his delay means the danger can be cleared away. Fulham have been far more open than Crystal Palace were at the weekend.

Goal! Newcastle 1-0 Everton (Isak, 15)

Kick-off at the Vitality and Turf Moor

Newcastle 0-0 Everton

To be fair to Everton, they have been rather attacking at St James’, and are pressing at that rather weak Newcastle underbelly. They probably need a goal here.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Fulham

If Nottingham Forest pull themselves clear, then they can thank Morgan Gibbs-White, who has been inspirational of late.

Goal! Nottingham Forest 1-0 Fulham (Hudson-Odoi, 9)

Newcastle 0-0 Everton

Beto wins a free-kick, with what seems a minimal touch on him. The ball’s whipped in for Tarkowski, and he can’t keep his header down. That’s a big miss.

Forest 0-0 Fulham

Some early involvement from Morgan Gibbs-White, with Callum Hudson-Odoi also on the scene. Looks like Forest are stepping it up from the start.

Newcastle 0-0 Everton

An early chase for Harvey Barnes and then the ball goes back in from Isak and Jordan Pickford is brave and makes a smothering stop. Great keeping, bad defending.

Kick-off at St James' and the City Ground

Shock news that Kalvin Phillips doesn’t start for the Hammers, but let’s hope he can find his way back soon. That wasn’t pleasant viewing on Saturday. Just one change for the Hammers, Alphonse Areola out and Lukasz Fabianski in.

Three Spurs changes: Radu Dragusin, Pape Matar Sarr and Dejan Kulusevski all drop to the bench. The excellent Micky Van de Ven starts at centre back, the rather good Rodrigo Bentancur plays in midfielder and the speedy Brennan Johnson begins on the wing. That’s some pretty good squad depth.

The big news of the day, which has an effect on this season’s EFL and perhaps next season’s EPL. Contrast Leicester with Brighton, who delivered the following results, per PA Media:

A post-tax profit of £122.8million for the 2022-23 season, up from £24.1m in the previous financial year. Turnover for the period was the club’s highest, rising by 17.2 per cent to £204.5m, against £174.5m in the 2021-22 campaign. The figures include the fees received for Alexis Mac Allister, Yves Bissouma and Marc Cucurella, as well as compensation for former head coach Graham Potter’s move to Chelsea.

Leicester meanwhile…

A mighty five changes for Andoni Iraola and Bournemouth, with Lloyd Kelly, Ryan Christie, Dango Ouattara, Alex Scott and Philip Billing all coming in.

Palace boss Oliver Glasner has made one change, with Will Hughes in for Chris Richards, who took a knock at Forest on Saturday,

Two Burnley changes: Charlie Taylor comes in for defender Lorenz Assignon, suspended after a red card. Zeki Amdouni drops to the bench as David Fofana comes in.

Two for Wolves, too: Matt Doherty and Hugo Bueno in while Tommy Doyle and Santiago Bueno drop to the bench.

Three Forest changes. Ibrahim Sangare, poor against Palace, drops to the bench along with Divock Origi while Brazilian defender Felipe drops out. Andrew Omobamidele, Danilo and Anthony Elanga come in.

For Fulham, Timothy Castagne and Willian in, Harry Wilson and Kenny Tete out. Rodrigo Muniz is present and correct.

For Newcastle, Harvey Barnes gets a start as Anthony Gordon is missing out with his suspension. Emil Krafth and Lewis Hall come into that embattled defence, with Elliot Anderson coming in.

Four changes for Everton from that Bournemouth loss as Beto, Ashley Young, Vitalii Mykolenko and Idrissa Gueye come in for Seamus Coleman, James Garner, Jack Harrison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin make way.
