Great goal for Villa. McGinn slides a ball down the channel for Cash to run onto who plays it in to Watkins for the tap in.

Great match so far. Two really good teams.

Brighton lose the ball in Midfield five seconds later Watkins puts the ball in the back of the net.

VAR check for possible offside, but the goal stands. Emery has done his home work. Brighton are leaving themselves wide open when they lose the ball.

They might not need to change the kits at half time at this rate.

Villa are the girl with the curl.

And as I type, Watkins for the hat trick - and ofc I didn’t get him in for FPL.

You got to be fucking kidding me.

the Peacock stream hasn’t worked til now so I’ve seen nothing of this game. I watched all of our convincing wins over Brentford andVilla and I am just disgusted.

both Luton goals evidently off set pieces. Fuck.

Why is Pep sitting in the stands? Did he get a touchline ban?

Has Peacock just gotten really bad last week and this week? I didn't have any issues back in Chicago with my Flex device and new Comcast equipment. In Boston this week and things are really lagging

Pep received a touchline ban for his third yellow card in the Carabao Cup tie against Newcastle

Liverpool fans enjoying this little treble of endings. Both Manchester clubs and Everton losing in quick succession. Won’t mean much if we can’t hold up our end later at Spurs.

At some point the depleted midfield was bound to catch up with City. KDB injured, Rodri suspended, not sure what’s going on with Bernardo Silva but Pep has ruled him out for this game, they have some other fine players but no one quite of that quality (or of Gundogan’s, who had been an important player for Pep).

All credit to Wolves, of course, they played hard and played well, so not to detract from that, but it’ll be interesting to watch if City looks for more midfield reinforcements in January to build some extra quality depth. Rodri coming back soon should help but long term KDB’s health will be key.

I get the argument that Dixon is making. It's not as much as dangerous challenge as well as circumstance of his foot over the top of the ball.

I think that’s at least orange. You can’t put your studs into another player’s ankle, regardless of what else you do.

Guys, Spurs could still totally blow this. Don't get too discouraged!
