Southampton are lucky there are sides lousier then them taking up relegation spots. They haven't been performing since 17/18 bar 19/20 (averaging 44.6 pts per season over the past 3 seasons)

Weird side are Soton because they can play well, keeping City at bay away from home isn't easy.....played well against Leicester few weeks ago lucky not to win that.

In October they won 2, drew 1 and only lost to Chelsea after going down to 10.

Weird side.
 
Brighton also with like 5-6 players out coming into todays game.

Maupay Welbeck Duffy Dunk Webster and Gross.
 
Is there a capacity limit on games again that I've missed around Europe?

Brighton looks about 50% full....Also some Bundesliga/Ligue 1 games I've seen on tele have been either <50% or behind closed doors.
 
JWP equalises with a peach of a free kick, 25 yards out.

& just like that Soton take the lead.
 
What a goal by Wolves.

That pass by Neves was sublime, Side volley by the CB Saiss was exceptional too.

0-1 on the stroke of half time.
 
This is embarrassing from the ref and the 4th official, how long does it take to tuck some wiring into your sleeve?
 
Arsenal-West Ham a decent game so far, both sides really pressing and going for it. Arsenal had the better chances, but so far 0:0.
 
Good win by Arsenal, have to say their players seems to have responded to Auba’s banishment well. Lacazette was a bit irritating with trying to win a foul every time a West Ham player was anywhere near - he finally succeeded, but missing the penalty served him right. Arsenal’s back 5 is actually looking a solid unit, for the first time in years. They have a foundation to build upon.

They go through phases. They were abysmal against Everton a week or so ago. They've been poo at several other times this season. I wouldn't read too much into this tonight.
 
Looks like this ones going ahead then.

Leeds XI - Meslier Ayling Drameh Koch Dallas Forshaw Klich Roberts Raphinha Harisson Gelhardt

Arsenal XI - Ramsdale Tomiyashu Gabriel White Tierney Xhaka Partey Odegaard Saka Martinelli Lacazette

Not 1 Leeds player I recognise on that bench.

Bamford out, Rodrigo out, James out, Striujk out, Shackleton out, Cooper out, Llorente out, Firpo out, Phillips out.

Saka just missed an open goal.

Lacazette shouldv'e really buried the first chance after a sublime first touch.

Arsenal come again and Saka goes close, save by Meslier.
 
Martinelli puts Arsenal 1 up.

Forshaw losing the ball in his own frikkin box.

Shambolic. Possibly going down.
 
That was unlucky by Raphinha, tried to drag it back into near post but dragged it a little too far wide.
 
Martinelli 2-0

Leeds are horrific, defensively possibly the 2nd worst in the league.

& now Harrison trods off injured, oh lordy.
 
Saka makes it 3.

Well and truly over this....getting toxic in Elland road.

They have no understanding of how to shape up defensively.

Leeds have ELEVEN players out - more than half their first team (injured not CV). Arsenal have 3 out and a much deeper squad. This was always going to be an easy win for Arsenal.

True, especially with the form both sides come into but not like this...this is a capitulation.
