By HARRY BAMFORTH, LIVE SPORTS COVERAGE REPORTER and MATT BARLOW, FOOTBALL WRITER and RIATH AL-SAMARRAI, CHIEF SPORTS FEATURE WRITER and ISAAN KHAN, REPORTER and JACK GAUGHAN and TOM COLLOMOSSE, FOOTBALL REPORTER Updated: 03: 00 AEDT, 27 October 2025 124 View comments Follow Daily Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score, team news and updates as Arsenal vs Crystal Palace, Aston Villa vs Manchester City, Wolves vs Burnley and Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest are all action in the Premier League. Boos ring around Molineux. What a dramatic end. Martin Dubravka makes a huge save moments before the whistle, and Burnley claim a monster three points. Wolves are in real trouble now. Aston Villa continue their fine league form. They fought brilliantly well in that second half to keep Manchester City at bay, and they secured a fourth straight league win. For City, that one will sting. Oh. My. Goodness. I can't believe it, Burnley have stolen citory right at the death from absolutely nowhere. When it looked for all the world as if Wolves were the more likely side to bag a winner, the visitors hit the hosts where it hurts. Foster races through and slides the ball past Sam Johnstone. Heartbreak for Wolves. Arsenal hold on! Another slender win, another clean sheet, and the Gunners extend their lead at the top of the table. It wasn't pretty, but that doesn't matter when you are winning games. Bournemouth go second! It's now or never for Wolves. We are into a stoppage time, and all 11 Burnley players are in their own box as they try to see this out. Is there to be late drama? Oh, I thought that was it! Erling Haaland slides home what he thinks is the equaliser at the back post, but no, the flag is up. Haaland has come out of it injured, too, as he collides with the post after turning the ball in. A double whammy. My word, this is tense! There is a lot of nervous energy in the Emirates as it's revealed there will be six minutes of stoppage time. Squeaky bum time. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. .. Rodrigo Gomes smacks the ground in frustration as he misses a glorious chance for the winner. The winger blazes miles over on the volley while in acres of space, and he really should do better. Wolves are throwing the kitchen sink at this. Now that would have been some goal. David Brooks is a baller, and he seemingly morphs into Lionel Messi for a moment, sitting two defenders down as he weaves his way to the edge of the box. But his finish is more messy, than Messi, as he bobbles one wide. That run deserved a better effort at the end of it. Oh dear, this isn't great. Declan Rice is hobbling off, and he does not look good whatsoever. In fact, he looks really uncomfortable. Mikel Merino replaces him while Piero Hincapie comes on for his league debut. Manchester City are knocking at the door, but they just can't break through it. Aston Villa have been so brilliant defensively, and they just have 10 more minutes to hold out. Eddie Nketiah, I did not know you were so speedy! The former Arsenal man absolutely rinses Cristhian Mosquera, burning past him as if he isn't there. The striker finds Jean-Philippe Mateta, who wins a corner as the pressure continues to grow. It's getting tense here. .. Crystal Palace are starting to grow back into this game again. You can feel the nerves sweep the Emirates as the visitors flow forward in numbers. If Arsenal can hold on, it would be huge, with the majority of their rivals losing this weekend. That's still a big 'if', mind. So close to a second! Manchester City have Gigi Donnarumma to thank for why they are still in this game. Jadon Sancho actually shows some of his talent for once as he somehow keeps the ball in by the byline, and drives into the spot. He has two bites at the cherry, but Donnarumma manages to save both. That's got to hurt. .. Gabriel is down on the ground after hitting his head on the post following a header at goal. He heads wide and then follows through and collides with the upright, and boy does it look painful. It seems like he will be OK to continue, though. OHHHHHHH. .. I thought that was in. John Arias can't believe he hasn't completed the turnaround with a spectacular free-kick. He bends a beauty toward the top corner but it smashes against the bar. So unlucky. PAU TORRES TO THE RESCUE! Amadou Onana races over to his centre-back to celebrate, as Torres denies Manchester City what looked like a certain goal. Savinho drills one toward the bottom corner, but at the very last moment Torres somehow diverts it over the bar. Incredible. A chance for the hat-trick. .. no. Zian Flemming waved his hands in the air after failing to sweep home a blistering Burnley break. The ball comes to him on the edge of the box, and he is in acres of space. he has all the time in the world. But all the forward can do is find the goals of Sam Johnstone. My word. .. this is getting silly. How Arsenal don't have a second goal, I really don't have a clue. Gabriel pings a stunning ball over the top to send Leandro Trossard in. The winger touches it past the keeper, but can't then turn it home and Palace clear. Pure chaos. Wolves still have all the momentum. They look like a completely different team now that they are level, and are pushing for the lead. There are more goals in this game, trust me. Jadon Sancho is in rancid form, isn't he? The winger is a shadow of himself, and just never looks like he is going to beat his man. He tries to square up Matheus Nunes, but it's far too easy for the City man to stop him from getting past him. Where has the Dortmund starboy gone? How have Arsenal not scored there? ? I can't believe it, they should be two in front, but Dean Henderson has pulled off a wonder save. He does brilliantly to deny almost a certain goal from Gabriel's head, before Declan Rice sees an effort blocked, and Bukayo Saka fires wide. An onslaught of chances. I reckon Sean Dyche may have given his Nottingham Forest side a rollicking. .. Why? Well, they look like a completely different side in this second half, they are playing aggressively and with meaning. get a goal soon, and we have a game on our hands. That break went quickly, jeez. All four of our feature games are back underway, and at Arsenal, there has been a substitution. Cristhian Mosquera has come on to replace William Saliba, who, I presume, has picked up a knock. Not ideal. I mean, what a goal this is. We have to watch back Eberechi Eze's cracker against Crystal Palace, back, it would be rude not to. Before this, Arsenal barely had a sniff of a goal, and then bang. The technique to jump and just smash one into the far corner at speed is sensational. What. A. Half. Burnley were cruising, and now they are bruising after that little fightback from Wolves. The game has been turned on its head. I asked for entertainment, and that's what we have got! The whistle is blown at Villa Park. Matty Cash's screamer has the hosts in front in what has been a relatively even game. Plenty still to play for. Bournemouth are flying again. The Cherries are on course for second place as they comfortably lead Nottingham Forest. Sean Dyche's side have been, well, woeful. SCENES AT MOLINEUX! Where has this come from? Wolves are level after looking dead and buried only 10 minutes ago. Marshall Munetsi heads home from close range after Ladislav Krejcí keeps the ball alive, and this place goes crazy. What a game! Arsenal lead at the break. Has this been a classic? No. Have Arsenal played well? Also no. But will they care right now? Not one bit. Eberechi Eze's thunderstrike against his former club has the league leaders ahead. Back in it! Jorgen Strand Larsen makes no mistake from the spot, sending Martin Dubravka the wrong way. He then stands in front of his own fans and waves his arms in the air, the lad is pumped up. Boy, did Wolves need that. It's just what he does! Eli Kroupi just can't stop scoring at the moment, and he showcases his bags of talent once again here. This is truly special. He picks the ball up 40 yards from goal, dribbles to just outside the box, and then finds the bottom corner with a stunner. Truly sensational. Ohhhhh. .. What is Josh Cullen doing? ? It's a moment of madness as he cleans out Santiago Bueno in the box, and the referee points to the spot. A route back into the game for Wolves. IT JUST HAD TO BE HIM! The player that Crystal Palace used to cheer on every week scores against them, and my word, what a goal it is. Declan Rice's set-piece pops up to Eberechi Eze, and he jumps up and hammers a volley into the corner. Of course, there is no celebration. Manchester City want a penalty, but they ain't getting one for that. Josko Gvardiol is moaning that he was pushed to the floor, but I don't think there was enough in it. I mean, there are hands on his back, but he makes a meal of it, in my opinion. That's the trend these days, though. Welcome to the game, Arsenal. The Premier League leaders finally fashion an attempt on goal, and it's Leandro Trossard who has a pop. The Belgian tries to drill one in at the near post from a tight angle, but Dean Henderson denies him. Better from the Gunners. Zian Flemming at the double! It's getting toxic here at Molineux as Flemming piles the misery on the Midlanders in their own backyard. He smashes home from six yards out after a lovely flowing move, and there are instant boos from the home fans. Some are already leaving 30 minutes in. .. That sums up this Arsenal performance. Martin Zubimendi overcooks a long pass for Declan Rice, and a huge 'wheyyy' comes from the away end. The Gunners have been miles off it here. THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY! You can't be serious? I can't believe it, Marcus Tavernier has scored directly from a corner. I'm lost for words. How the heck has Matz Sels allowed that to bend in? So, so poor from a Nottingham Forest perspective. You don't see that too often. Erm. .. Daniel Munoz, what are you doing? The full-back races away down the right and just has to square the ball to Yeremy Pino for a tap-in. But what does he do? That's right, he shoots and David Raya denies him. The flag does eventually go up, but my word, Munoz simply had to square that. Arsenal need to wake up here; they are second best. Is that really you, Erling Haaland? I can't believe it, the striker has the perfect opportunity to supply the instant response, but he wastes it. The striker is slid through, and you are thinking, 'here we go, ' but he drills the ball straight at Emi Martinez. I thought that was a certain goal. WOW, WOW, WOW! What a hit that is from Matty Cash to send Villa Park absolutely balmy. A corner is drilled into the full-back's feet, he takes a heavy touch but then absolutely wallops one into the bottom corner. It's one hell of a finish. Against the run of play, but Unai Emery won't give a hoot. Ohhhhhh, hello, hello, hello! There are handbags at the Vitality as Dougland Luiz and Justin Kluivert get in a tussle. Kluivert looks like he puts his hands to Luiz's face as they square off and start scrapping like they are in the UFC. That was last night, fellas, this is football day. Of course, both players get bookings for their involvement in the kerfuffle. Arsenal just haven't got going yet, whatsoever. If anybody looks like scoring in these early moments, it's Crystal Palace; the Gunners are doing nothing with the ball. That being said, Palace haven't actually created any big chances, but they do look threatening when they race forward. The Emirates is fairly flat, too, I have to say. Oh, of course. .. The commentators' curse strikes again as out of nowhere Burnley take the lead at Molinuex. One ball over the top to Zian Flemming carves Wolves open, and the Dutchman drills home to net his first Premier League goal. Sums up Wolves' season, that. Rodrigo Gomes is everywhere at the moment. Burnley simply don't know how to deal with the winger, and he breaks away down the left again. He tries to drill the ball across Martin Duibravka, but the keeper does well to get down and deny him. The hosts are well on top. Wolves have started well here. The crowd is certainly making some noise now as the hosts show a bit of fight for once. Rodrigo Gomes causes panic with a cross-cum-shot that Martin Dubravka gets a hand to. It then bounces off of Jhon Arias, but goes wide. Oooooft, now that's close. We know that Tijjani Reijnders can hit them, oh boy can he hit them, and he has a dig from distance here. The midfielder really gets a hold of the ball, but it flies agonisingly over the bar. Some promising signs for Crystal Palace here. Arsenal are having most of the ball, but the visitors are on them like a flash when they lose it. Palace counter incredibly fast, but it ends with Yeremy Pino's cross missing everybody. Something for Arsenal to think about. Almost a flying start from Bournemouth. The Cherries are on the front foot from the first whistle, and Marcus Tavernier decides to have a pop from the edge of the box. He drills a stinging effort toward the bottom corner, and Matz Sels does well to push it past the post. Nottingham Forest may have to hunker down early doors here. My word. Sorry, I can't sugarcoat this, that Manchester City third strip is absolutely grim. Like, it's horrific. How the heck am I meant to watch them play in that thing for the next 90 minutes. .. Right then, the waiting is over. All four of our early Sunday kick-offs have now got going, and boy, do I have a good feeling about them. Expect the goals to fly in everywhere. This really is what you call a 'Super Sunday'. We have just five more minutes to wait until our four 2pm kick-offs get underway. The warm-ups are done, and now the players are lining up in the tunnel nd are ready to emerge. I just hope we get entertained today. .. Chris Sutton, former Chelsea striker, on BBC Sport: Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace manager, speaking on Friday: Jean-Philippe Mateta is on smoke right now. The bloke just can't stop scoring. Eight of Mateta’s last nine Premier League goals for Crystal Palace have been scored in London and he’s netted five goals in his last eight London derbies. He’s also only the third Palace player to net five goals in their eight matches of a Premier League season, along with Andrew Johnson in 2004-05 and Wilfried Zaha in 2020-2. Can he keep the trend up in the capital today? Chris Sutton, former Chelsea striker, on BBC Sport: Jamie Vardy, be scared. Erling Haaland is coming for your goalscoring record of netting in 11 Premier League games on the bounce. With the form he is in, I wouldn't bet against him breaking it. Haaland has scored in his last six Premier League matches, and there are no signs of him slowing down anytime soon. In fact, Haaland has scored in each of his last five away Premier League appearances for Manchester City. The only player to score in more consecutive away games for City is Sergio Agüero between March and August 2017 (7 in a row). Can he bag again today? Guys, I have just read a crazy statistic. .. The last time that Wolves won a Premier League match was back in April - that's six months ago. Yep, you are reading that right. Crazy, isn't it? Like, I knew they were bad, but my golly, I didn't quite realise how bad. Their last win was over now-Championship side Leicester, which is hardly impressive. You feel that Vitor Pereira has to turn things around soon, even if he has only just signed a new deal. Alan Shearer, former Newcastle striker, speaking to Betfair: I wonder how Eberechi Eze is feeling right now. Only two months ago, he was strutting his stuff in Crystal Palace colours as rumours swirled around his future. Now, he is playing against them. Eze's career had been a bumpy ride before he arrived in south London, but at Palace, he developed into one of the best attacking talents in this country. Last season, he etched his name in Eagles folklore, scoring in the FA Cup final against Manchester City, which they won. Eze is a Palace legend, so facing them today must be a strange feeling for him, you'd think. But come kick-off, he will have to switch the inevitable emotions off. Why change a winning formula? Scott Parker has stuck with the same 11 players that guided Burnley to a win over Leeds last week. Wolves, however, have made two changes. Both Ki-Jana Hoever and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde come in. Not many changes in this one. Both Sean Dyche and Andoni Iraola make just the one switch to their two teams. Veljko Milosavljevic is in for Bournemoth, while Nicolo Savona starts for Nottingham Forest. The big boys are back for Aston Villa. Morgan Rogers and John Mc Ginn are two of six changes for the Villans, after defeat in Europe. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola brings in Oscar Bobb, Phil Foden, and Tijjani Reijnders into his Manchester City team. Two tasty starting XI's. Guess who is back, back again. .. Eberechi Eze starts for Arsenal against his former club, while Gabriel is deemed fit enough to feature despite injury concerns. For Palace, Oliver Glasner has made three changes from Thursday's shock defeat to Larnaca. Daichi Kamada, Adam Wharton, and Chris Richards return. Pep Guardiola, Manchester City boss, speaking on Friday: Manchester City have found their groove again. With Erling Haaland leading the line, they are crusing past teams and look solid defensively again. Last season's blip feels like a lifetime ago now. Pep Guardiola's side have won three Premier League games on the bounce, and they will be looking to make it four at Aston Villa today. Are we set for another Arsenal-City tussle for the title? Oh, looky what we have here. Our friends at Squawka have only gone and done it again, providing us with another cracking stat pack. What stands out for me is the fact that Arsenal have only conceded three Premier League goals this season. I mean, that's just silly. There is genuinely a chance that the Gunners break Chelsea's 15-goal defensive record. It's a slim chance, but a chance nonetheless. Mikel Arteta, Arsenal boss, speaking ahead of the game: This year just may be the year of The Arsenal. With Liverpool losing four league games on the spin, it's hard to see which team could possibly stop the Gunners, who are just churning out wins for fun. Yes, I know this is only the ninth game of the season, but win today, and it's hard to look past Arsenal winning this title. They face a Crystal Palace side who will be down in the dumps after a midweek defeat in Europe - Mikel Arteta's side should be confident. The bridesmaids could become the bride come May. Full Sunday Premier League schedule: By Harry Bamforth I mean, where do I even start? Well, we have to turn to Liverpool first. Another week, another loss. In chilly west London, the Premier League champions' blip turned into a full-blown crisis. They didn't just lose their fourth league game in a row; they were outplayed by a Brentford team in transition. They deserved to lose by more than the one goal they did. We may only be nine games into the season, but I'm pretty sure we can say that Liverpool's title defence is over. Elsewhere, Manchester United continued their resurgence with a rare victory over Brighton, which was a six-goal thriller at Old Trafford. Chelsea were stunned at home by Sunderland, while Newcastle managed to brush off a resilient Fulham side. A top day of Barclays, if you ask me. By Harry Bamforth No, not cook. Although I have just had a belting brunch, which has fuelled me for what is set to be a busy day ahead. I mean, I needed it after what was a chaotic Saturday. We can talk about that later, though, our focus is on the day we have in store, which I hope is a banger. We have four games coming up for you at 2pm, with both league leaders Arsenal and Manchester City both in action. So, strap yourselves in, and let's get this show on the road. When was the last time City had a decent away kit?
