Sunday's Games

Words from Alonso in the wake of Chelsea's narrow defeat.

Here are some words from Arteta on Ødegaard's Man of the Match performance.

FULL TIME: ARSENAL 2-1 CHELSEA

A huge early-season result for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal sees the Premier League holders fight back from a goal down to see off Xabi Alonso's high-scoring Chelsea.

We'll have four minutes of added time.

A late one from the Gunners as well...

Another late change from Chelsea sees Morgan Rogers removed.

Can former Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck bite the Gunners late on?

Xabi Alonso makes a late play of his own.

Further changes from Mikel Arteta as the Gunners look to close out a huge three-point result at home.

We're into the final 15 minutes plus stoppage at the Emirates

Arsenal have made changes of their own here as we approach the final 20 minutes of action. 

Chelsea makes their first changes on the day.

Looking refreshed during the World Cup and coming into the current Premier League season, Ødegaard has started brilliantly for Arsenal in 2026/27.

Havertz won't get any credit, but he was integral in this sequence.

GOAL!! ARSENAL 2-1 CHELSEA

A sensational team goal from Arsenal!

Christos Tzolis was picked out on the left flank by Calafiori before tucking in on his right, playing a ball into the area that Havertz dummies for Martin Ødegaard to pick up and slot home past Martínez.

We're back underway at the Emirates, with neither side making any changes just before the restart. 

HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 1-1 CHELSEA

An intriguing battle between PL title hopefuls, led by friends Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso, goes into the half-time interval all square at one-all.

An early goal from Morgan Rogers set the tone before Arsenal leveled through Kai Havertz.

Pedro Neto nearly re-established the one-goal advantage for the Blues late in the half, but his effort could not beat the post after curling beyond David Raya.

Arsenal has been the better side overall thus far, but will they build on that platform of performance while keeping joint-leading goalscorers Chelsea at bay? 

Keep an eye on this one-vs-one battle as play progresses.

Ten minutes remaining until the half-time interval.

That's now 19 consecutive Premier League fixtures where Chelsea have failed to record a clean sheet. 

GOAL!!! ARSENAL 1-1 CHELSEA

The Gunners finally have their equaliser, and it's a third goal of the season for Kai Havertz!

The German striker did well to cut in on his left foot before firing across his body to beat former Arsenal shot-stopper Emi Martínez low at his near post!

Despite the early Rogers dagger, Arsenal have pushed and pressed well looking good odds to find an equaliser before the break.

ARSENAL DENIED BY VAR

Riccardo Calafiori thought he pulled the Gunners level with a toe-poke after a goal-line scramble, but Ezri Konsa was judged to have been offside in the build-up to that moment.

Warning shots fired from the home side!

Are shouts for signing of the season brewing?

In contrast, that was the first goal conceded by the Gunners in the Premier League this season, and the fastest since August 2023 vs Fulham.

Chelsea have now bagged eight goals in the early doors of the 2026/27 Premier League season, and now sit level with Brighton for the most goals in the league.

GOAL!!! ARSENAL 0-1 CHELSEA

And it just had to be Morgan Rogers, didn't it?!?!

The man who nearly signed for Arsenal, who Chelsea marched in and swiped away before the Gunners could finalise, has opened the scoring with a lovely volley from the edge of the box!

KICK OFF

'North London Forever' is bellowed out from the home support just before kick off.

Will it be all cheers and anthems after full-time?

We're officially underway at the Emirates.

The Gunners and the Blues emerge from the dressing room and through the tunnel to take the pitch at the Emirates.

Strap in, folks. This could be a belter (it could also bore us to tears if they're timid).

Talks of Myles Lewis-Skelly potentially leaving Arsenal may have been slightly premature.

Coming up next in just over 10 minutes, Arsenal and Chelsea lock horns at the Emirates in a very tasty battle between Premier League rivals, both of whom will be gunning for major honours this season.

In case you missed it, here are the line-up calls made by Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso...

Ainsley Maitland-Niles; already endearing himself to home support.

FULL TIME: Everton 2-2 Manchester United

Debutant Maitland-Niles earns Everton a come-back point with the last kick of the game.

GOOOAL EVERTON

They've come back again and debutant Ainsley Maitland-Niles scores at the death with a 25-yard curler into the corner that leaves Lammens stunned.

Sesko knows how to make an impact against Everton.

Five minutes of injury time. Will Everton respond again?

GOOOOAL UNITED

Everton weren't level for long and substitute Benjamin Sesko puts the Red Devils back in front with a towering header from close-range.

GOOAL EVERTON

The Toffees have been applying the pressure and Tyrique George nets the equaliser. George received the ball from a very tight angle and beats Lammens at the near post with an unstoppable strike!

Into the final 15 minutes. Can United hold on to their lead?

Jack Grealish comes off the bench and gets involved immediately. The attacker finds Dewsbury-Hall in a good position and he produces a tame finish at Lammens.

VAR have a quick check at a heavy James Tarkowski tackle on Rashford. It's quickly reviewed and no penalty is given. 

Team news is in for the next game between Arsenal and Chelsea. New Gunner Ezri Konsa is in line for his full debut.

Arsenal: Raya, White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Saka, Odegaard, Tzolis, Havertz.

Chelsea: Martinez, Fofana, Lacroix, James, Neto, Acheampong, Lavia, Hato, Palmer, Rogers, Pedro.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall reacts first to a loose ball in the area and shoots straight at Lammens. 

The goal has forced a response from Everton. The hosts are showing plenty of intent, but can't find a way through United's defence currently.

Two in two for Mbeumo.

That opener came just one minute after the restart.

GOOOOAL MAN UNITED

Bryan Mbeumo makes the breakthrough as he dribbles past two defenders and curls a pinpoint finish into the bottom corner from the edge of the area.

SECOND HALF

The action resumes at Hill Dickinson Stadium. 

A half lacking in attacking quality on Merseyside.

HALF TIME: Everton 0-0 Man United

No opener a first half where United hit the crossbar and Everton came close just before the break. 

CHANCE EVERTON

Strong finish to the first period by the hosts and Jarrad Branthwaite's low stinging shot is saved by Senne Lammens.

CHANCE EVERTON

Late in the half, Everton have their best chance of the game as Thierno Barry's header goes inches over the bar.

Kobbie Mainoo helping United to control the midfield here.

Man United in control during the first 30 minutes and pushing for the opener. Everton struggling to get a foothold in the contest.

Half chance for United. Matheus Cunha lines up a shot from the edge of the area but completely mis-times his finish, which flies well over the bar.

Youri Tielemans tries his luck from a long way out. Pickford holds that speculative effort comfortably. 

A closer look at that Fernandes volley. Fair to say, Pickford was beaten!

OFF THE BAR

First big chance of the game as Bryan Mbeumo tees up Bruno Fernandes. His powerful volley cannons off the crossbar.

Relief for the Red Devils. Maguire is back on his feet and looks ok to continue.

An early injury concern here for United as Harry Maguire goes down after a collision with Thierno Barry.

KICK OFF

Everton vs Man United gets underway.

Just 10 minutes to go until Everton vs Man United gets underway. Who will come out on top in this encounter?

Will we see Jack Grealish back on the pitch after completing his deadline day move to Everton from Man City?

Some pre-match words from Michael Carrick, who is eyeing momentum after a 5-2 win over Ipswich last weekend.

Are we seeing a new role unfold for Bryan Mbeumo at Man United?

Later this afternoon, there's a London derby at the Emirates as high-flying Arsenal and Chelsea go head to head.

First up, we'll bring updates from Everton vs Man United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where both sides have named their starting XIs.

United are unchanged, while the Toffees bring in Brennan Johnson for this one.

Good afternoon and welcome to OneFootball's coverage of Sunday's two Premier League matches.
