Live updates
Liverpool 0-0 Brighton
It’s a great second half for the champions. With Manchester United and Man City winning this week, Liverpool must do the same to ensure their recent return to form is not a false dawn. There is still a lot to play in the season, but Jurgen Klopp knows that these kinds of games are the results that win you titles.
We are back up and running in both games.
HALF TIME | Aston Villa 0-0 West Ham
An entertaining part, Jesse Lingard is a real bright spark for the Hammers, but he has no goals at halftime.
HALF TIME | Liverpool 0-0 Brighton
Jurgen Klopp will not be a happy man. His side has been poor.
Liverpool 0-0 Brighton
44 minutes: It really has been a monotonous display in Liverpool’s first half. No cutting edge at all. Changes in rest?
Jack Rosser is in Villa Park
West Ham have certainly regained their confidence after looking a bit insecure against Liverpool. Sharp passes and lots of energy, just missing that finishing touch right now.
Aston Villa 0-0 West Ham
38 minutes: Said Benrahma taunts down the left and his center finds its way to Coufal at the far post, but the defender’s blow is direct to Martinez.
Liverpool 0-0 Brighton
34 minutes: Brighton is driving many men forward in the attack. Solly March is the last to dive with his left foot and have a crack, but he doesn’t get the necessary dive.
Jack Rosser is in Villa Park
West Ham had been quiet and collected in the back for the first half hour or so, but that mistake by Dawson seemed to unsettle them a bit. The battle of Grealish and Coufal also begins to heat up.
Aston Villa 0-0 West Ham
27 minutes: Oof, that’s not very far. Dawson makes a mistake and allows Grealish to jump, the Villa captain makes a deft reverse pass to Watkins, who lunges well into the far corner but doesn’t come back enough. Fabianski was not getting close to that.
