  1. Leon Osman

    Really good play from Chelsea started from their own half and they went through the gears at the City line.

    Conor Gallagher fires it across the six-yard box, but the striker wasn't there to put it in - good play from Chelsea.

  2. Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic gets away with one as he comes out of his box to punch the ball away after a shot deflected off Enzo Fernandez, but he misses it completely, before eventually being able gather from a weak header.

  3. There's applause from the away end as Chelsea show signs of encouragement with their first attack. They work the ball well to Conor Gallagher inside the box but his cutback is behind his team-mates.

  4. Manchester City work the ball out wide to Phil Foden but Ben Chilwell and Enzo Fernandez combine well to close the forward down and eventually win back possession.

  5. Chelsea seem quite happy to let Manchester City have the ball. Well, either that or they just can't get the ball off them. They are certainly not taking any risks to press them and leave gaps anyway.

  6. Leon Osman

    Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Wasn't too far from Julian Alvarez and it is a good play from City, as you expect when a play involves Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.

  7. Wolves

    Wolves manager Gary O'Neil speaking to BBC Match of the Day after the win over Tottenham: "Pretty close [to perfect]. Disappointing lapse for the goal, similar to the one we conceded in the last minute against Manchester United but that is probably the only negative I can find. We were close to perfect. I am proud of the group. It is a tough place to come and I think we deserved to win the game.

    "The way we got the goal wasn't how we looked like getting it. We were more than that [just counter-attacking] and when we had the ball we caused them loads of problems and kept missing chances. I was a little bit frustrated that we weren't more clinical and we kept going and kept threatening. João was really calm and got a good connection on the ball and got us the win.

    "It was really important for us to go 1-0 up and then the second one was fantastic. We worked on Pedro getting in behind on the right and then a really good pass for Joao."

  8. Manchester City are already clicking into gear as Kevin de Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez combine before the latter places a first-time effort wide.

  9. SMS Message: This time last year, Arsenal were falling off the title race and this season they are getting stronger at the most important moment. What a strong mentality from Mikel Arteta and his boys. from Sulaimon

  10. We are under way at Etihad.

  11. Cole Palmer is back at Etihad Stadium with Chelsea but it might be asking too much for him to have the same impact against his old club as when they drew 4-4 with Manchester City at Stamford Bridge and he stuck away an injury-time penalty.

    I think Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola made a mistake letting Palmer leave, but this game is only going to end one way - a Chelsea defeat.

    City are just too good. They have got so many good players, and more to come off the bench. Jack Grealish's injury against FC Copenhagen was a blow but they had Jeremy Doku to come on, who is a nightmare to play against.

    Chelsea gave it a real go in that draw in November, but the defending champions have gone up a notch or two since then, while Mauricio Pochettino's side keep going up and down.

    Sutton's prediction: 2-0

  12. Fara Williams

    Former England midfielder on Football Focus

    The inconsistency as a fan it is really frustrating. It is a big, big squad for Pochettino to manage and it can be difficult.

    To come back [against Crystal Palace], I think they showed they do have those qualities to come back but I think it will be difficult for them to go to Manchester City and try and get anything from the game.

  13. Wolves

    "I don't think we were just counter-attacking. We had some chances on the counter. We will always have a counter threat with our players but I think we were more of a threat. We knew what Tottenham would do and they knew what we would do. I think it was a brilliant game of football. Having lost Matheus Cunha, for the boys to rally is really good."

    On whether Cunha is ruled out for the season: "We will see Matheus Cunha again this season. He is feeling good and a little bit of muscle damage. He has started working already in the gym and we are looking to see him for us as soon as possible. To be tested without him is great for the lads to come and do it."

    On becoming the first manager to win with two different sides at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (after doing so with Bournemouth last season): "Just winning with this group is all I am interested in this year. Being in charge of this group, coming away in front of the fans and giving them a good win is always great. A good day at the office."

  14. Nottingham Forest

    Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to Premier League Productions: "I think we played a very good game. Defensively we were very aggressive, really close to the West Ham players. We played good, we created chances, we scored, I think we controlled the game really well.

    On whether the result should have been more comfortable: "I think the team were well-organised, we felt we were in control of the game. Having one man more made the difference, but we controlled even though the West Ham set pieces are so dangerous. Congratulations to the players and the fans, especially to the amazing fans at the City Ground."

    On the importance of getting a clean sheet: "It's the improvement we expect from these players. We have to be strong in defence, everything comes from there."

    On the Neco Williams penalty appeal: "I saw the image, it was so clear. Everybody is not understanding what's going on with VAR. If we see it then why didn't it give help to the referee."

    On whether he would have liked the referee to go to the monitor and see it: "Yeah, probably. For sure he would change his mind after seeing the image, it was so clear, it was so obvious. They should ask themselves 'why'. If they see the same thing me and you saw, I think it was very obvious. Let's be supportive but have better decisions."

    On Forest's disallowed goal: "I didn't see it, I can't give an opinion."

  15. Arsenal

    Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking to Match of the Day, after his side moved back within two points of leaders Liverpool: "We are really pleased because it is a difficult place to come and Burnley have been very competitive in the big games they have played so far this season.

    "Today we managed to break them down early in the game and made it look a little more comfortable but they are a team which digs in so much."

    On his side's winning start to 2024: "Individually and collectively, the purpose they are playing with, the form the players are in, even at 3-0 4-0 they want more.

    "The way they track back at 96 minutes tells you how they are feeling. It's about maintaining momentum now.

    "We are generating competition within the squad. They are a joy to work with, the way they train every day and apply themselves, and how they want to improve.

    "They want more - that's the good thing."

    On Arsenal's title ambitions: "At the moment all we can do is win our games and after our big two wins away from home we have a tough one in the Champions League at Porto.

    "I hope we can do it [win the title] because we are there but it is about consistency and you see the standards of the other teams. We want it, that's for sure."

  16. Aston Villa

    Aston Villa goalscorer Ollie Watkins on BBC Match of the Day: "I thought we were going to score three or four. That wasn't the case. Fulham responded really well and put us under pressure. It could have been a 2-2 game at the end there.

    "It's a massive three points, especially after a home defeat to Manchester United.

    "It was nice to get on the score sheet early doors. You always have your wits about you and I just aimed hard and low and saw what happens.

    "It's nice to get back on the scoresheet after a defeat to Manchester United with a few missed opportunities. Personally I'm not dwelling on that and as a team we're not. Massive reaction to come here and win today.

    "We've had such an unbelievable home run, 17 games unbeaten. So when you do lose it comes as a shock and people are going to talk about that.

    "We've had a lot of injuries. Three ACL injuries in one season is unheard of. So I think we're doing really well with the squad we've got."

  17. SMS Message: I don't think it matters who wins the league and who saves a team from relegation, Gary O'Neil has done an unbelievable job yet again this season, surely has to be manager of the year. from Sam

  18. Burnley

    Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill on a one-sided defeat which leaves the 19th-placed Clarets seven points from safety: "Overall it wasn't good enough at all. We can work as hard as we want but the quality wasn't there. Some of the goals weren't acceptable. We've shown we can compete against some of the top teams and today it didn't feel like we did.

    "The majority of the goals we could have done better. Switching off when they had a throw-in, getting out to the ball at the edge of the box, I could go through them all. It looked too easy for them.

    "There is no doubt Arsenal are a top team but today it goes down to us.

    "This game won't define our season - it isn't great losing 5-0 of course - but we've had a real tough run of games. We will look forward to the next game to put it right as quickly as possible.

    "The fans don't deserve what they saw today."

  19. Wolves

    Wolves manager Gary O'Neil speaking to Sky and Premier League worldwide after the win over Tottenham: "The lads were excellent. I thought it was thoroughly deserved. We spent some time in a low block and in numbers but that is a credit to the quality of Tottenham. I think we should probably had put the game to bed with the chances we had on the counter-attack.

    "You just know at Tottenham that they are going to do something at some point and I felt we needed to capitalise on some of our good play. I'm disappointed with their goal but it was a really good performance. We keep pushing upwards."

    On Joao Gomes' brace: "Two fantastic goals from Joao. Fantastic finish at the end. We had a lot of chances like that where players weren't able to finish them. Another brilliant move and I am really pleased the lads were able to show what a great group they are, again."

    BBC Sport at Etihad Stadium

    Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinhoare the only managers to have won more games against Pep Guardiola’s teams thanMauricio Pochettino, but their head-to-head stats still don’t make happyreading for the Chelsea boss.

    Poch has won only four of their23 meetings since 2008, and just one of those victories came in the PremierLeague - their first encounter on these shores, when Spurs beat City 2-0 atWhite Hart Lane in October 2016.

    He’s not had much joy here at EtihadStadium, either, with defeats in seven of his 10 visits here, but he did nab awin almost exactly eight years ago, on Valentine’s Day 2016, a couple of weeks afterCity had announced Guardiola would be replacing Manuel Pellegrini at the end ofthat season.
