'Not clear and obvious'published at 14:11 BST
Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Pat Nevin
Former Everton winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveThat was not clear and obvious. We have seen another replay and the referee got that one right.

Yep and VAR thinks the same.
Thierno Barry drops a bit too easily there.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 10 mins
Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Is that a penalty?!
Tyrique George's cross is deflected in the box and Thierno Barry seems to get to the ball before Lisandro Martinez and he hits the deck.
There's not much in that, to be honest.

Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Luke Shaw powers down the left and hooks a ball across the box. It's nodded back by Bryan Mbeumo for Bruno Fernandes to volley off the bar.
Such an intelligent move.

Bryan Mbeumo is currently filling in at right back with Diogo Dalot shifting across to cover Harry Maguire.

Harry Maguire has made quite the recovery here.
I think he'll be OK to carry on with a tissue or two stuffed up his nose.

Simon Stone
BBC Sport Chief Football News Reporter at the Hill Dickinson StadiumHarry Maguire is not the type to go down easily.
Leny Yoro is warming up. That didn't look too good.
Basically, Thierno Barry back headed into his face. Blood being cleaned up around Magiuire's nose.

More encouraging signs for United now. Harry Maguire is sitting up but he's got blood pouring from his nose after heading the back of Thierno Barry's head.

Harry Maguire is not the type to go down easily for no reason.
He might have broken his nose.

Harry Maguire has come off second best in a collision with Thierno Barry and Leny Yoro is out warming up.
Maguire hasn't really moved on the ground yet.

An early concern for Man Utd here as Harry Maguire is down and in need of treatment.
On first glance, he doesn't look to be in a good way here.

BBC Sport Chief Football News Reporter at the Hill Dickinson StadiumThe Everton fans are up for this today.
Manchester United were flat at Hull two weeks ago and didn't react to the fierce start the home side made.
They cannot make the same mistake here. If they do, they are in trouble.

Match Facts
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League matches against Chelsea (W6 D3), their best unbeaten run against the Blues since a run of 19 between 1995 and 2005.
Chelsea have lost their last four away Premier League games against Arsenal by an aggregate score of 11-2. Their last win there was in August 2021, a 2-0 victory.
Arsenal have lost just one of their last 29 Premier League London derbies (W22 D6) and are unbeaten in their last 16 (W12 D4). The last side to have a longer unbeaten run was the Gunners themselves between August 2022 and November 2023 (17 games).
Chelsea have started 2026-27 with three consecutive wins in all competitions (two in the Premier League, one in the League Cup). The Blues last won their opening four games to a season in 2016-17 (Antonio Conte’s first four) and their opening three Premier League games in 2018-19 (under Maurizio Sarri).
Arsenal have won their first two Premier League matches this season but only once in the last 21 seasons have the Gunners started their campaign with three wins, doing so in 2022-23.
Chelsea’s two Premier League matches this season have seen 12 goals (7 for, 5 against), the joint-third most in a side’s first two games of a campaign in the competition, behind only Arsenal in 2004-05 (13) and Leeds United in 2020-21 (14). They could become the first side to see their opening three games of a top-flight season all have 5+ goals since Arsenal in 1988-89.
Across the first two matchdays of 2026-27, Arsenal faced the fewest shots (11), the fewest shots on target (1) and allowed their opponents the lowest xG (0.54) of any Premier League side. Since 2022-23, the Gunners have had 16 games where their opponents haven’t had a shot on target – twice as many as any other side (Liverpool, 8).
Bukayo Saka has scored in each of his last two Premier League appearances, last scoring in more consecutively in January/February 2024 (5 in a row). The last Arsenal player to score in their first three games in a season was Alexandre Lacazette in 2020-21.
Cole Palmer has scored 49 goals in 98 Premier League games for Chelsea. Only two players have reached 50 for the Blues in fewer than 100 games – Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (84) and Diego Costa (85).
João Pedro has scored and assisted in both of Chelsea’s Premier League games this season, the first player to do so in the club’s first two matches of a campaign. The only player to score and assist in each of his first three appearances of a Premier League season is West Ham’s Michail Antonio in 2021-22.
