Brighton v Fulham, Tottenham v Burnley, Sunderland v West Ham, and more – clockwatch live | Premier League

Match report: Aston Villa 0-0 Newcastle

Newcastle demonstrated how united they are without Alexander Isak but also how much they miss his goal power. Despite dominating this match, before and after Ezri Konsa was sent off for Aston Villa, Eddie Howe’s men had to settle for a draw against the side they pipped for a Champions League place.

“Hey Rob, is that the time already?” says Simon McMahon. “I’ve given up going to Dundee’s Sausage & Cider Festival XXL to be at the start of another season of clockwatch madness, though I will be having bangers and mash and some scrumpy for my tea.

“It’s the last sixteen of the Scottish League Cup this weekend, with the all premier tie Hearts v St. Mirren being the pick, with potential for upsets at Morton, who welcome Aberdeen, and in Perth, where St. Johnstone face Motherwell. European giant killers nearly men Dundee United travel to Kilmarnock tomorrow, hoping to put Thursday night’s heartbreak against Rapid Vienna behind them.”

Urgh, commiserations on Thursday; that must have been painful. I thought I heard some thunderclaps after the game, which was confusing in mid-August, but then I realised it was probably Jim McLean effing and jeffing from upstairs.

Read Sid Lowe on Thomas Partey’s Villarreal debut last night

There were no banners, no chants, no renewed social media campaign and neither manager was asked to comment on Partey after the game. The whistles were not sufficient to be registered by everyone. Cadena Ser radio’s local correspondent, who sat high in the main stand, reported that he had not heard any.

Red card! Aston Villa 0-0 Newcastle (Konsa sent off)

Ezri Konsa has been given a straight red card for dogsoing Anthony Gordon. Barry Glendenning has more.

Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley (3pm)

When I was 27 of course I thought I could do everything but I also found out that as a leader I am 1,000% better now, so he also needs to learn and become better and better, so I will do my best to guide him. His aggression is phenomenal. He is fantastic in the duels. When he gives that to the team, he can transform the team and give energy to the team so I think that’s extremely important.

GOAL! Derby 3-2 Coventry (Adams 50)

Derby are ahead for the first time in what sounds like a bit of a humdinger at Pride Park. Coventry manager Frank Lampard may not share that view after watching Ebou Adams put his old club ahead.

53 min: Aston Villa 0-0 Newcastle
