Boss Arne Slot is in no doubt the striker will "end up being the player he was at Newcastle". “Alex, it will still take a bit of time but he will end up being the player he was at Newcastle if we get him fit, or how he was at Sociedad or all the other clubs he was at – he just needs to become fit. I do know that a 100% fit Alex is a big, big, big plus for this team. But for him to get there, he might need to have minutes where you could argue that another player might be further ahead of him in terms of match fitness. ” Brighton v Brentford (15: 00 GMT) Only Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Aston Villa and Manchester United have collected more points than Brentford (nine) across the past five matches. The Bees have collected three wins and two defeats in that time, including a 3-1 win against Newcastle United last time out. Brighton, though, are in a similarly good vein of form. The Seagulls have amassed just one point fewer (eight), with two wins, two draws and one loss in that time. Fulham v Sunderland (15: 00 GMT) The Premier League table hasn't made for happy reading for Fulham fans this term. The Cottagers linger in 15th, one point above the relegation zone. That has led to speculation about Marco Silva's future at Craven Cottage but BBC Sport reported this week that the Portuguese - who is out of contract at the end of the season - has been offered a new deal. The mood is completely different at Sunderland, with the Black Cats sitting in fourth after 11 matches this term. A win for Regis Le Bris' side this afternoon will take them to within four points of leaders Arsenal. Bournemouth v West Ham (15: 00 GMT) Bournemouth's mini-slump could simply be blamed on a tricky run of fixtures but their form also appears to be intrinsically linked to the performances of star winger Antoine Semenyo. The 25-year-old began the season with six goals and three assists, but since the October international break, he has gone four league games without a goal involvement and failed to convert a penalty in his previous outing. His general attacking output is down across the board. His absence from the squad today through injury will still be a frustration for manager Andoni Iraola, though. As I'm sure it will for many fantasy football managers. Liverpool v Nottingham Forest (15: 00 GMT) Life has certainly got a bit cheerier for Nottingham Forest fans under Sean Dyche. After drawing with Man Utd at home, Forest got their first win under Dyche last time out. Winning at Anfield, though, would be a huge scalp. Liverpool v Nottingham Forest (15: 00 GMT) Elliot Anderson is suddenly on his way to leading England's midfield at the World Cup and is rumoured to have a £100m+ price tag on his head. That shows the kind of season he is enjoying. Sean Dyche said: "He is a good player. He's got everything in front of him and I've spoken to him about what I call the nuts and bolts of his performances, but not at any length - less is more, I think, for him. "He's naturally going about his business the right way, he's learning the game as he goes, so input is overcoaching someone and you've got to be careful with that. " Burnley 0-2 Chelsea Rob Green Former Chelsea goalkeeper and Match of the Day pundit Enzo Marseca will be thrilled with that performance. It was unremarkable, just how he likes it. Chelsea picked their moments well. The game was slow and they controlled it pretty much from start to finish. Wolves v Crystal Palace (15: 00 GMT) Nick Mashiter BBC Sport football news reporter at Molineux New boss Rob Edwards wants to see his Wolves side run more as they look to survive in the Premier League. Wolves have clocked 1194. 9 kilometres this season, the sixth lowest in the top flight - although it is more than West Ham and Nottingham Forest who complete the bottom three. Edwards spoke about his "non-negotiables" on Friday of hard work, intensity, running and winning more duels. They are second, behind Tottenham, for the number of tackles this season with 226 and have won 584 duels - the third best in the division. The commitment at Wolves has rarely been in doubt, just the quality. Jason Mohammad is joined on Final Score by Ashley Williams, Martin Keown and Aaron Mc Lean to bring you all the key talking points from today's Premier League and EFL matches. Tune in from 14: 45 GMT on the Red Button and BBC i Player, or on BBC One from 16: 30 GMT. Wolves v Crystal Palace (15: 00 GMT) The Rob Edwards era at Molineux is about to get under way. Can Wolves finally get three points on the board? "I'm not looking at the table right now, just the next session and game, " said Edwards. "I'll be clear with players, this is what we are going to do to win games of football and get points. "It's going to come from hard work. Lots of stuff comes underneath that, but I will be clear with the lads what that is and my non-negotiables. The players want that. " Liverpool v Nottingham Forest (15: 00 GMT) Ashley Williams Former Wales defender on Football Focus This video can not be played 'It's harder for his wife and kids' - Slot on Jota I've been in a position myself where I lost a teammate in the summer between seasons and it does hurt. You can't put a timeline on grief. We expect them to move on because football moves so quickly, but it will hurt. We understand he [Diogo Jota] was a very popular member of the squad, and every day they go in and his place in the changing room is there and empty. It's a reminder every day. For Robertson to speak so openly and Slot to come out and speak, it means that they are suffering, so we have to factor that in. Wolves v Crystal Palace (15: 00 GMT) Crystal Palace come into today's game with Wolves knowing three points could take them fourth, if other results go their way. Oliver Glasner's side seem to go under the radar in the Premier League but they are going along just nicely as they also tackle European football. Liverpool v Nottingham Forest (15: 00 GMT) John Bennett BBC Final Score reporter at Anfield In his programme notes today Arne Slot says the week

before the international break was two steps forward and one step back,

following the costly defeat to Manchester City. He also insists though that

their “biggest issue” has been being on the wrong side of “small margins. ” The home fans behind me are expecting today to be the day

when Alexander Isak finally finds his feet as a Liverpool player on only his

4th Premier League start for the club. But Forest know all about how to frustrate Slot’s side

and they could witness their team winning back to back league games at Anfield

for the first time since 1963. Bournemouth v West Ham (15: 00 GMT) West Ham's disastrous start to the season yielded four points from their opening nine games, representing their worst beginning to a league campaign for 52 years. But back-to-back Premier League victories for Nuno's side have injected some much-needed confidence and they are now attempting to win three in a row for the first time since December 2023. "We have proven we want to change things, " said Nuno after the 3-2 triumph over Burnley two weeks ago. "We want to be strong characters. The boys on the pitch are showing this slowly. " The Hammers have recently enjoyed the upper hand against Saturday's opponents and they are unbeaten in nine previous meetings with Bournemouth in all competitions, winning four and drawing five. Liverpool v Nottingham Forest (15: 00 GMT) Ashley Williams Former Wales defender on Football Focus The most difficult thing in any sport is that when you win that title, to repeat that. Liverpool had a lot of new players coming in, a lot of change, and I just think that they haven't really found that rhythm. It's terrible form from them, we didn't expect that. At the start of the season they didn't look right but they were getting the wins, but now they are not getting the results. Wolves v Crystal Palace (15: 00 GMT) New Wolves boss Rob Edwards takes charge of his first game in the hot seat at Molineux for the first time as he reveals what he wants from his players. "That they are up for it, that they are ready for the challenge themselves. Every one of them, when I've spoken to them, has been enthused by what we want to try and do and what we want to try and bring, which has given me a lot of belief and confidence. "A lot of them have talked about those words - belief and more confidence. Those are things that no one else is going to give us. " Liverpool v Nottingham Forest (15: 00 GMT) Martin Keown Former Arsenal defender on Football Focus Arne Slot has tried to make it better, tried to make them more creative, and they have lost that stability at the back. Konate has not really looked himself, two new full-backs have come in and it's not been that settled. Wirtz is not doing it at the top of the team and is now been played out on the wing. To lose five of six games, that is major. Liverpool v Nottingham Forest (15: 00 GMT) Look away, Liverpool fans. .. The international break came at a good time for Arne Slot's side, who have lost five of their last six league games. Now with some favourable fixtures, can Liverpool start to put a run together? FT: Burnley 0-2 Chelsea Right, stay here for Chelsea and Burnley reaction. We'll also make a start on building up to our five 3pmers. Burnley 0-2 Chelsea Chelsea are up to second. Five games unbeaten in all competitions. Last Updated 22nd November 2025 at 18: 58 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.

Manchester City have won 12 Premier League away games against Newcastle, their joint-most away victories against an opponent in the competition (also 12 vs Everton). Manchester City have scored in each of their last 33 Premier League games against Newcastle. Only three sides have had a longer scoring streak against an opponent in top-flight history – Chelsea vs Newcastle (37 from 1933-1969), Tottenham vs Newcastle (35 from 1922-1961) and Everton vs Blackburn (34 from 1925-1962). Newcastle have lost their last two Premier League games, last losing more consecutively in January 2024 (4). They’ve opened the scoring in both of their last two, never losing three in a row when leading each time. Manchester City lost two of their first three Premier League games this season (W1), conceding four goals in the process. Since then they’ve lost just one of their last eight (W6 D1), conceding just another four goals in this run. Newcastle have lost three Premier League games despite scoring first this season, going down against Arsenal (1-2), West Ham (1-3) and Brentford (1-3). It’s as many defeats as they’d suffered in the previous two campaigns combined (1 in 2024-25, 2 in 2023-24), while they last lost more in 2021-22 (4). Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has won none of his 18 Premier League meetings with Man City (D2 L16) – it’s the most a manager has faced an opponent in the competition without ever winning. Man City’s Erling Haaland has 14 Premier League goals this season, almost twice as many as the next highest scorer (Igor Thiago, 8). His next goal will be his 100th in the competition, while a goal in this match (or indeed any of his next 15 apps) will make him the fastest to reach this milestone. Erling Haaland has scored 19 goals in all competitions for Man City this season (excl. Club World Cup). A goal in this match would be the third earliest (by date) a Premier League player has reached 20 in a campaign, after Andrew Cole in 1993-94 (21st November) and Haaland himself in 2022-23 (8th October). All three of Nick Woltemade’s non-penalty goals for Newcastle this season have been from first time shots – only Jean-Philippe Mateta (4) has scored more with 100% of them coming from first time shots.
