Newcastle vs Man City LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates as Callum Wilson turns game around

Follow live updates as Newcastle host Manchester City in the Premier League this afternoon with Pep Guardiola’s side looking to extend their winning start to the season. The champions have opened with impressive victories over West Ham and Bournemouth, scoring six goals without reply. Erling Haaland got off the mark on his Premier League debut but was denied in the 4-0 win against Bournemouth last weekend, so will be looking to put down another marker early in his City career.

City face a confident and optimistic Newcastle side whose season under Eddie Howe has started off with a home victory against Nottingham Forest and a draw at Brighton. Nick Pope was key to extending their unbeaten start in securing the 0-0 draw on the south coast and the goalkeeper is set for another busy afternoon against City, who will look to match Arsenal and join Mikel Arteta’s side at the top of the table by making it three wins out of three.

Follow live updates from Newcastle vs Manchester City below, following the conclusion of Leeds vs Cheslea:

GOAL! Trippier beats Ederson with stunning free kick

GOAL! Haaland pulls one back for City with near-post finish

RED CARD OVERTURNED! Trippier shown a straight red but downgraded to yellow on VAR review

Newcastle United FC 3 – 3 Manchester City FC

79’ – Newcastle 3-3 Man City

18:11 , Karl Matchett

Right, what have we got left in this game? Ten minutes or so plus stoppage time, a potential winner at either end, a manager meltdown perhaps?

Story continues

City definitely pushing more for the winner at present but Newcastle still a threat on the break at times.

NO RED CARD! 75’ – Newcastle 3-3 Man City

18:07 , Karl Matchett

Well, Trippier’s a lucky guy there. The pitchside review results in a downgrading of the red to a yellow card.

Still three goals apiece in the scoreline and 11 players apiece on the pitch.

RED CARD! 73’ – Newcastle 3-3 Man City

18:06 , Karl Matchett

Straight red for Trippier! De Bruyne goes flying past him across the halfway line and the Newcastle man lunges in with the only intention being to take out his man – not a ridiculously forceful one, but certainly a high boot across his knee. It’s a correct call surely for a lack of intention to play the ball?

VAR ask the ref to go and check…

72’ – Newcastle 3-3 Man City

18:04 , Karl Matchett

Saint-Maximin and Joelinton have been excellent today and they link up once more down the left. This is surely the toughest game Kyle Walker has had in a long time.

The eventual cut-back doesn’t quite reach its intended target and City eventually have the ball back. Another Saint-Maximin dribble ends in a shot but it’s wide this time.

Neither of these sides had conceded before today, it’s six between them now.

68’ – Newcastle 3-3 Man City

18:01 , Karl Matchett

Double change for the Magpies. Chris Wood on for Wilson, Willock replaced by Sean Longstaff.

We’re heading into the final 20 or so and the in-game momentum is certainly with the visitors now. Will Eddie Howe’s changes be able to stem the tide?

GOAL! 64’ – Newcastle 3-3 Man City

17:56 , Karl Matchett

Brilliant from Pope first time, nothing he can do about the second one. Haaland is head down and sprints between two defenders and is one on one, but Pope races out to block him.

A minute later though De Bruyne’s threaded pass finds Bernardo Silva running free behind the defence and although Pope is out quickly, the Portuguese attacker just rolls it past him. What an assist though! We are all square, 3-3.

GOAL! 60’ – Newcastle 3-2 Man City

17:52 , Karl Matchett

Haaland heads at goal from a corner and Pope palms it out, Gundogan is unable to get a clean shot away but it’s worked back in again and this time the ball bounces back to Haaland’s left foot – which unleashes a cannon. From five yards out, nobody is stopping that one and it’s 3-2!

58’ – Newcastle 3-1 Man City

17:51 , Karl Matchett

City look lost in how to deal with Saint-Maximin in particular. He’s unstoppable in this form to be fair, unless you take the Stones approach – which also didn’t work out too well in the end.

Schar at the other end stretches to clear a low cross and just has a bit of a feel of his hamstring afterwards.

GOAL! 54’ – Newcastle 3-1 Man City

17:45 , Karl Matchett

…and the right-back bends an absolute beauty into the top corner!

Ederson goes flying across his goal and gets nowhere near it, having taken a step to the wrong side beforehand. Even so that was a peach from Trippier, whipped across goal and into the corner. That’s 3-1 to Newcastle!

53’ – Newcastle 2-1 Man City

17:45 , Karl Matchett

Relentless action again. Haaland skips past two challenges and absolutely belts a strike in right-footed – fantastic fingertip save by Pope onto post. Straight up the other end Saint-Maximin blazes past two tackles himself and is only halted by a ridiculously crude Stones lunge which is never getting near the ball. Yellow card, free kick…Trippier to take…

50’ – Newcastle 2-1 Man City

17:42 , Karl Matchett

Rodri bundles Guimaraes over, just after Walker is pulled up for a foul on Saint-Maximin. City remain rattled by the Newcastle approach being aggressive and fast-paced. Guimaraes then closes down Rodri, makes another good tackle but takes a bit of a boot to the knee in the process. Sore one.

46’ – Newcastle 2-1 Man City

17:37 , Karl Matchett

Second half underway! Let’s see if City mount the expected response, or if Newcastle can keep up the tempo and aggression they had in the first 45’.

Thomas Tuchel blames ‘cheap’ mistakes for Elland Road unravelling

17:32 , Karl Matchett

Thomas Tuchel accused his Chelsea team of conceding “cheap and unnecessary” goals and gifting Leeds victory as they lost 3-0 at Elland Road.

The Chelsea manager said Edouard Mendy cost his team with “a huge mistake” after he lost then ball to Brenden Aaronson for Leeds’ opener and rued the fact their second goal, scored by Rodrigo, came from a set-piece as he claimed his side were better.

And he said new signing Kalidou Koulibaly’s red card was unacceptable after the defender collected a second caution for tugging back substitute Joe Gelhardt.

Rich Jolly has the reaction from the earlier game where Leeds hammered Chelsea:

Thomas Tuchel blames ‘cheap and unnecessary’ goals for Leeds unravelling

Half time latest score: Newcastle 2-1 Man City

17:21 , Karl Matchett

The half ends with Schar needing attention after a collision with Stones but there’s no foul involved.

Joelinton also fouls Bernardo Silva for one final chance for City to deliver, but Dias heads over.

Half time, 2-1 to Newcastle after goals from Almiron and Wilson turned around that early Gundogan opener.

45’ – Newcastle 2-1 Man City

17:18 , Karl Matchett

Haaland almost runs through but was probably offside anyway and the ball escapes him. Three minutes added on at the end of the half.

Walker has had a torrid first half and he gives away a silly corner now, under pressure from Joelinton.

Guardiola with a bit of work to do at the break, but if there’s any coach and team who can find a way back, it’s certainly this Man City side.

42’ – Newcastle 2-1 Man City

17:16 , Karl Matchett

Crazy first half we’ve had here. City now just getting their foot back on the ball and playing it around at the back, getting themselves back in control after being blitzed repeatedly down the flanks here in this first half.

Absurdly, they could have scored about four themselves too – this hasn’t been poor exactly, but just very difficult to stop with Newcastle so, so invested in their gameplan.

GOAL! 38’ – Newcastle 2-1 Man City

17:11 , Karl Matchett

What a turnaround! That left channel again for Newcastle – Saint-Maximin runs at Stones, passes to Wilson, his first touch sees him evade Dias and the second finish is an outside-of-the-boot finish past Ederson and into the corner!

Magpies ahead and it’s 2-1, a little over five minutes to the break.

36’ – Newcastle 1-1 Man City

17:10 , Karl Matchett

Almost goals at both ends! Botman first with a horrid error, but then a very good recovery. A cross comes to the Dutch defender and his attempted header bounces straight to Gundogan who can rifle in a half-volley – but Botman has already stretched out a massive leg to stop the shot at close quarters.

Then a ball down the left channel again sees Almiron racing in, Ederson has come miles out of his area and Almiron touches it past him – but Cancelo has read the play brilliantly and makes a fine recovery tackle.

32’ – Newcastle 1-1 Man City

17:03 , Karl Matchett

Man City look a bit shocked at the moment – they are unable to deal with the speed of Newcastle in attack down the flanks. They can, however, cause an awful lot of problems for the Magpies themselves – Foden almost gets in down the left, until Guimaraes comes over to block and help clear.

Rodrigo gets fed up with Saint-Maximin dribbling past everyone and produces a very cynical rake of the ankle. He’s a bit fortunate to escape a yellow there.

GOAL! 28’ – Newcastle 1-1 Man City

17:01 , Karl Matchett

The goal stands!! One replay is all it took – Almiron was never offside from Saint-Maximin’s cross and the unmarked attacker was falling as he touches the ball in with his thigh, in past Ederson and it’s 1-1.

Fully deserved too after their response to falling behind.

Saint-Maximin excellent in the build-up.

27’ – Newcastle 0-1 Man City

16:59 , Karl Matchett

Another half-chance for Newcastle as Botman’s header off a corner reaches Wilson, but his snapshot is into the ground and saved. The offside flag goes up against him too actually.

Moments later Almiron flies in and bundles the ball into the back of the net – cue massive celebrations, but they are immediately cut short as the offside flag goes up!

26’ – Newcastle 0-1 Man City

16:57 , Karl Matchett

Newcastle really pushing for an equaliser here. Ederson is called into action to beat out a strike, Saint-Maximin firing in the effort after Dias’ lax pass is cut out. The home crowd roar in response to urge their team to continue the semi-onslaught.

Joelinton wins back possession again and Wilson curls in a strike – deflected wide.

22’ – Newcastle 0-1 Man City

16:53 , Karl Matchett

Yellow card for Cancelo somewhere along the line there. Nick Pope is called upon again to palm away a De Bruyne free-kick.

Straight up the other end Newcastle again get in behind Walker and Almiron this time crosses low for Wilson – he can’t quite get on the end of it and Cancelo’s there to clear.

An early enforced change for Guardiola: Nathan Ake is going off and it’s Ruben Dias who comes on for him.

18’ – Newcastle 0-1 Man City

16:49 , Karl Matchett

What a huge chance for Almiron. Joelinton and Saint-Maximin to brilliantly to create space and the latter cuts it back for Almiron…who leans back and blazes his shot absolutely miles off-target.

Some joy down the flanks for the Magpies early on, but they’ll have to make the most of these chances.

16’ – Newcastle 0-1 Man City

16:47 , Karl Matchett

Joelinton clatters Gundogan – the City captain is wreaking havoc in these early stages.

No booking this time but another set piece for the visitors, who look like carving Newcastle open with every attack at the moment.

The free-kick is well-defended but Foden has a shooting chance soon after, again saved by Pope and his feet.

12’ – Newcastle 0-1 Man City

16:45 , Karl Matchett

Haaland frees De Bruyne and it looks very much as though he may stride through to double the lead – but one touch is slightly wayward and his shot is awkward as a result. Pope saves with his feet and Newcastle escape.

Gundogan then nearly tees up Haaland but his attempted shot is mis-hit.

9’ – Newcastle 0-1 Man City

16:41 , Karl Matchett

Guimaraes fouls De Bruyne as the Belgian skips past him in midfield and it’s an early yellow card for the Newcastle midfielder. Pretty well justified, was never going for the ball.

City quickly into their rhythm here and spreading play wide to create angles at every opportunity.

That was the first goal Newcastle have conceded this season, by the way.

GOAL! 5’ – Newcastle 0-1 Man City

16:37 , Karl Matchett

All too easy for City! Rodri blazes over from range just after Haaland had almost been played in down the inside left channel. But minutes later Bernardo swings over a cross from the right and Gundogan is totally unmarked and controls on the right foot before a simple finish with the left past Pope for 1-0.

3’ – Newcastle 0-0 Man City

16:33 , Karl Matchett

A short corner routine is worked back to Trippier for a deep cross which almost lands under the crossbar and forces Ederson to leap back and claim it against his post.

Stones and Ake as the City centre-back partnership – nothing wrong with the quality of it but definitely not a first-choice pairing for Guardiola.

1’ – Newcastle 0-0 Man City

16:32 , Karl Matchett

We are underway at St. James’ Park! Fans in fine voice and perhaps sensing the chance of an upset today.

Newcastle vs Man City latest news

16:28 , Karl Matchett

Teams are out, crowd is raucous. We are very close to kick-off and this should be a terrific encounter between two teams unbeaten at the start of this season. Lots of off-pitch overlapping these days between the clubs too of course.

Pep Guardiola says City transfer business is done for the summer

16:22 , Karl Matchett

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has said that he does not expect his side to do any more business in the transfer window.

Sergio Gomez became the football club’s fifth arrival of the summer this week, following Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega.

“If someone moves or there is a problem, we don’t expect, maybe it happens, but apparently it’s done,” Guardiola confirmed in a press conference.

Pep Guardiola vows not to overuse Erling Haaland ahead of the World Cup

16:17 , Karl Matchett

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola will not flog star striker Erling Haaland ahead of the World Cup.

Haaland will not be at the winter tournament in Qatar as Norway did not qualify, meaning he will have a month off in the middle of the Premier League campaign.

Still, Guardiola does not intend to overuse his new signing in the months before his mid-season hiatus.

Newcastle vs Man City latest news

16:10 , Karl Matchett

The season so far for these teams:

Newcastle started the campaign with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest. They followed that up by drawing 0-0 with Brighton, so Eddie Howe’s side yet to concede a goal and sat in 7th ahead of kick-off. They can go level second if they take victory.

City were of course top, before this weekend’s games, after winning both their openers. 2-0 at West Ham and 4-0 at home to Bournemouth was enough to see them clear on goal difference, but they’re down to fourth after wins for Arsenal, Leeds and Spurs. A 2-0 win today would put them top.

Leeds stun woeful Chelsea after Brenden Aaronson punishes Edouard Mendy howler

16:05 , Karl Matchett

It transpires there are worse sights for Thomas Tuchel on the touchline than Antonio Conte refusing to look him in the eye during a perfunctory handshake. Back in the dugout while he appeals against last week’s red card, the Chelsea manager saw his side overrun and overcome, their first defeat of the season inflicted by Leeds’ frenetic football. Tuchel prizes control and Leeds’ inspired brand of chaos brought them victory over historic rivals for the first time since 2002 and their biggest since 1995.

The manner of defeat was as chastening as the score itself. Chelsea conceded from a set-piece for a second successive match. Edouard Mendy gifted Leeds their opener. Perhaps sieving three goals will strengthen Tuchel’s case that Chelsea need to bid still more for Wesley Fofana to bolster his defence. Instead, the centre-back he has bought, Kalidou Koulibaly, was sent off as he could not cope with Leeds’ speed; much like Tuchel, suspension beckons for him.

OK, straight into the final Premier League game of Sunday and a quick reminder of the team news.

Newcastle United XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, C Wilson, Saint-Maximin

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo, Haaland, Foden

Premier League: Brighton beat West Ham, Newcastle vs Man City latest

15:56 , Karl Matchett

Elsewhere in the other 2pm kick-off, it’s a tough old start for Moyes’ boys as West Ham lost 2-0 at home to Brighton.

Mac Allister’s penalty and a second-half Trossard goal proves enough to lift the Seagulls into eighth for now.

Leeds, meanwhile, are second in the table right now – albeit on alphabetical order ahead of Spurs!

Next up it’s Newcastle vs Manchester City in a match which should prove every bit as enthralling as this one was. Stay right here and we’ll head into that game immediately…

FULL TIME: Leeds United 3-0 Chelsea

15:52 , Karl Matchett

Sensational from Leeds. Marsch’s team were close to perfect right from kick-off, just a few Sterling-created moments which caused them any problems at all. They have outfought Chelsea in midfield and have definitely outplayed them in central and attacking third areas.

Tuchel had a big shout at the fourth official after a foul on Thiago Silva, which does not seem particularly wise given what happened last weekend with Antonio Conte.

Three points, three goals, lots of impressive performers for the home team.

90’ – Leeds 3-0 Chelsea

15:49 , Karl Matchett

Into stoppage time, of which there will be three minutes. Thomas Tuchel has a bit of work to do during the week after this beating.

Transfers and the Champions League group stage draw will take just as much attention too – a big week for them.

Leeds can bask in the glory of plenty of post-match admiration after this energetic and clinical showing.

87’ – Leeds 3-0 Chelsea

15:47 , Karl Matchett

Azpilicueta comes on for Sterling to shore up the defence. Sinisterra evades two challenges in midfield and it’s another Leeds free-kick.

Marsch is still organising and encouraging on the sidelines but this is easily the team’s best performance under him.

A great start to the season, seven points from three games after today.

RED CARD! 84’ – Leeds 3-0 Chelsea

15:43 , Karl Matchett

Koulibaly is sent-off! A counter-attack sees the defender haul down Gelhardt as Leeds break and it’s an easy one for the ref.

A dreadful day for Chelsea and for the new signing in particular.

82’ – Leeds 3-0 Chelsea

15:41 , Karl Matchett

Three changes for Leeds. Greenwood, Gelhardt and Klich all come on, replacing Harrison, Aaronson and Rodrigo.

Ziyech’s shot hits his own man and bounces to Sterling who is free – and offside. He shoots anyway and Meslier saves it anyway.

77’ – Leeds 3-0 Chelsea

15:38 , Karl Matchett

Quite incredible, this scoreline. Chelsea haven’t been atrocious, but Leeds have been excellent both in terms of build-up play and defensive resilience.

Struijk needs some treatment and then gets a word from the ref after a foul. Chilwell is on for Mount.

Newcastle vs Man City: Confirmed line-ups

15:33 , Karl Matchett

The team news is in for the late afternoon match and there are no changes for the hosts. City start Gundogan in midfield with Bernardo pushed into the forward line.

NEW XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Willock, Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Wilson

MCI XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo, Haaland, Foden

Newcastle are unchanged while Bernardo Silva comes in for his first start of the season for Manchester City, alongside Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.

Newcastle United: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, C Wilson, Saint-Maximin

Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo, Haaland, Foden

72’ – Leeds 3-0 Chelsea

15:30 , Karl Matchett

Jamesis replaced by Luis Sinisterra, summer signing from Feyenoord. Massive embrace for the winger from the American head coach.

The new arrival is into the mix immediately, teasing the Chelsea back line. Harrison slides a cross along the six-yard box and Rodrigo is flying in at the back post – Cucurella did really well to prevent a fourth.

GOAL! 69’ – Leeds 3-0 Chelsea

15:28 , Karl Matchett

A third for Leeds! A great move down the left to split the defence, the cross is deep towards Rodrigo and he gets a touch on the ball, directing it into the path of Harrison who scoops it in from close range!

West Ham 0-2 Brighton

15:26 , Karl Matchett

Leandro Trossard has doubled Brighton’s lead at West Ham. A very troubling start to the season for the Hammers who will be pointless from three games if they cannot mount a response.

66’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

15:24 , Karl Matchett

Double sub for Tuchel. Pulisic on for Gallagher and Ziyech replaces Jorginho. That’s going to be a super-offensive midfield for the Blues! Looks like Loftus-Cheek in there as the deepest one to start, with Ziyech somewhere beside him.

Pulisic, Mount and Sterling all around Havertz.

James now strikes from range and it’s heading to the bottom corner until Meslier tips it around the post. Koulibaly’s header from the corner is tame and more comfortable to stop.

62’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

15:21 , Karl Matchett

Adams has been relentless in midfield today. Twice he scampers across to make a good block on either a run or a passing lane, frustrating Chelsea’s attempts at building chances.

First sub now as Marc Roca is replaced by Adam Forshaw.

Reece James blazes a trail down the right and crosses low but Koch again does really well to clear. Chelsea subs are incoming.

58’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

15:16 , Karl Matchett

Tyler Adams hits an absolute rocket from range which looks like it might smash the net into pieces if it hit it, but there’s a big block in the way and it results in a counter up the other end – Gallagher eventually curls one just wide of the post via a deflection. The corner isn’t of much use though and we’re approaching the hour mark with Leeds still two clear.

54’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

15:14 , Karl Matchett

Chelsea certainly having more of the ball in this half and their right flank is the focal point for a lot of the build-up action.

Aaronson leads another counter for Leeds and it initially looks like they can have a three-on-one, but the opportunity is wasted as the move slows down.

James then crosses deep toward Harrison but it’s Loftus-Cheek who makes a brilliant recovery run to put him off.

50’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

15:09 , Karl Matchett

A good early opening for Chelsea as Loftus-Cheek and Gallagher work an opening, Mount eventually tees up Cucurella…but the Spaniard can only sky a right-footed effort.

Rodrigo then bursts behind Koulibaly initially, but the defender gets back quickly to block the shot and concede a corner.

Chelsea defend this one in about three different attempts and Sterling breaks down the wing before freeing Mount – Koch blocks his shot.

46’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

15:05 , Karl Matchett

Here we go again then – second half underway.

No changes for either team but Chelsea have gone to a four at the back. Reece James on the right, Loftus-Cheek alongside Jorginho in midfield and Gallagher slightly ahead of them at the outset of this half.

Premier League half-time scores

14:55 , Karl Matchett

Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

Dreamland for Jesse Marsch and his troops. Brendan Aaronson has been brilliant, terrorising Kalidou Koulibaly and, for the goal, Edouard Mendy. Rodrigo quickly headed in a second after a free-kick.

West Ham 0-1 Brighton

Alexis Mac Allister buried a penalty low to the keeper’s left to give Brighton the lead at the London Stadium after the Hammers’ newest signing was booked in conceding the foul for the spot kick.

45’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

14:48 , Karl Matchett

Two minutes added on. Sterling takes on two but there’s another there to block him. Loftus-Cheek and James try to combine down the right, but it’s overrun and out of play.

Perhaps we’ll see James pushed to wing-back at some stage of the second half. Gallagher has been fine, but not able to control matters, in the centre of the park here – maybe Loftus-Cheek will get that role. Havertz hasn’t been much involved either.

Aaronson goes for goal from range but it’s wildly ambitious, easy for Mendy to take. There’s the whistle and it’s a great first half for the hosts!

44’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

14:45 , Karl Matchett

Final moments of the half. Mendy opts to kick clear first time as the ball is passed back to him, to loud and ironic cheers and jeers from the home support.

Gallagher and Marc Roca clash heads in midfield and will need a moment for some treatment.

They’re both back up and fine to continue but Leeds survive a couple of set-pieces from Chelsea in the attacking half and it looks like they’ll be well clear at the break now.

40’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

14:41 , Karl Matchett

Loftus-Cheek drives to the byline and cuts it back with the ball reaching Cucurella – but the wing-back scuffs a really poor effort wide of the near post on the run. That’s probably the best opening Chelsea have had other than those two Sterling curlers from the edge of the box, one wide and one in but offside.

Thomas Tuchel is rather fuming on the touchline.

GOAL! 37’ – Leeds 2-0 Chelsea

14:40 , Karl Matchett

Great delivery, perfect header! Harrison swings a great ball in from the left on the free-kick and Rodrigo beats Dan James in the air, flicking a deft effort past Mendy and right into the far corner.

His fourth goal of the campaign and it’s 2-0 to Leeds with about eight minutes to go before the break.

They did lead 2-0 against Southampton last week at half-time, of course, so no overly-early celebrations just yet!

36’ – Leeds 1-0 Chelsea

14:38 , Karl Matchett

The volume inside Elland Road has gone up about eight notches. First Koulibaly is adjudged to have committed another foul and the howls demand a second yellow card for him – no says the ref, but he has a word.

Then Sterling takes down Aaronson who is having a great first half, a few yards outside the edge of the box. Yellow for Sterling, danger for Chelsea…

GOAL! 32’ – Leeds 1-0 Chelsea

14:35 , Karl Matchett

Oh that’s atrocious from Mendy!!

Leeds take the lead and it’s all down to hard work – Aaronson closes down Jorginho, he passes back, Aaronson follows it in and closes down Mendy who again tries to dribble past his man.

Needless to say, that does not happen, the American robs him and walks in his first Premier League goal! Shocker from the ‘keeper, deserved for the home team to be honest.

30’ – Leeds 0-0 Chelsea

14:34 , Karl Matchett

Aaronson steams away through space once more and feeds Rodrigo down the left channel – but he opts for another shot from a tight angle and it’s easy for Mendy.

Dan James was trying to make up ground in the middle as an option but wasn’t really there to receive.

Meanwhile the other James, Reece, has a bit of a clash with Harrison and the crowd are getting riled up.

26’ – Leeds 0-0 Chelsea

14:28 , Karl Matchett

Sterling pressures Koch inside his own penalty area and Leeds struggle to clear their lines. Gallagher and Tyler Adams battle away for the loose ball and it’s eventually a goal kick.

More tenacity and aggression than really effective combination play from both teams so far today, at least once they get into the final thirds. Some of the build-up is good, but both are lacking penetration against well-organised back lines.

West Ham 0-1 Brighton

14:25 , Karl Matchett

Goal update from today’s other 2pm kick-off – Alexis Mac Allister has netted for the Seagulls at the London Stadium.

West Ham 0-1 Brighton there – the Hammers started the weekend in the bottom three of his very early league table.

22’ – Leeds 0-0 Chelsea

14:23 , Karl Matchett

Rodrigo breaks beyond the defence after a fortuitous deflection bounces his way, but his left-footed strike on the run is not easy to control and flashes wide of the far post.

Mount twists and turns at the other end and drags a left-footed shot low toward the near post – Meslier just about gets a big hand to the ball and diverts it around the post.

Koch heads the corner clear, to much appreciation from the fans behind the goal.

18’ – Leeds 0-0 Chelsea

14:20 , Karl Matchett

Mendy has to twice react well to clear his lines after a fierce Jorginho backpass and then a nifty bit of footwork to evade an attacker closing him down. Chelsea then try to counter past the press and the referee bizarrely opts to bring play back for an offside against Leeds.

Here’s a couple of images of that Koulibaly yellow card earlier – fair to say he could have had it for either one of these transgressions within a couple of seconds of each other.

13’ – Leeds 0-0 Chelsea

14:16 , Karl Matchett

The pace has just slowed a little after that frantic opening. Leeds are dominating possession but not able to go anywhere in particular over the last few minutes – Chelsea showing good organisation.

Then one clipped pass from Cucurella over the top puts Sterling in and this time his bent finish does find the bottom corner, but he’s very clearly offside in the build-up. Still all square.

9’ – Leeds 0-0 Chelsea

14:10 , Karl Matchett

Aaronson turns Koulibaly inside out with a smart change of direction, the Chelsea man grabbing first his shirt and then his head. The young attacker fumes at the referee who has to tell him to calm down – booking for the Senegalese international.

The free-kick is easily cleared but this is a really positive start for the home team. No great concerns for Mendy so far though.

5’ – Leeds 0-0 Chelsea

14:07 , Karl Matchett

Really fast start and openings at either end. Leeds are crowded out with their own attack and Chelsea break like lightning down the left, Sterling and Mount combining with the ball breaking for Loftus-Cheek in the box – but instead of shooting first time he tries to run past his man and is unable to get the effort away.

Moments later Loftus-Cheek goes into an aerial challenge with Struijk and gets there late – a clattering for the Dutchman and a talking-to for the Chelsea wing-back.

2’ – Leeds 0-0 Chelsea

What a chance inside 60 seconds for Raheem Sterling. Brilliant run in off the channel, escaping a couple of defenders and getting onto his right foot – but then he curls his effort just wide of the far post. Meslier was getting nowhere near it.

Leeds trying to get in with some fierce midfield challenges early on. Dan James is playing in support as Rodrigo, nominally the No9 today. Lots of fluidity though early on.

Kick-off! We are underway. Chelsea get us started and there’s a great noise in the crowd as we start.

Thomas Tuchel will want a reaction from his side after that late frustration against Spurs.

OK we are about ready to go at Elland Road. A huge game for both sides to bounce back in after defeat last week.

Chelsea owners ready to ‘pull out all stops’ to secure transfer targets

13:45 , Karl Matchett

Chelsea’s new owners remain undeterred in their task to spend whatever it takes to recruit their top targets, the PA news agency understands.

But the Blues have also stuck to clear limits for transfers, with Stamford Bridge figureheads thought to have walked away from a number of deals this summer over price.

The new Chelsea bosses were understood to have felt a quiet sense of vindication following the performances of high-profile new recruits Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella in the 2-2 Premier League draw with Tottenham.

Co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali were on hand for the opening clash of the top-flight campaign at Stamford Bridge last weekend.

And the close friends and business partners are thought to have been impressed by the performances of Chelsea’s three major summer recruits.

Leeds vs Chelsea latest news

13:40 , Karl Matchett

So after yesterday’s glut of games, here’s the state of play in the Premier League.

Leeds sit seventh and Chelsea eighth, with the home side today one place above by virtue of one goal more scored early on this term. The positions don’t mean too much yet of course – but as a win will lift either club up to second or third (at least until Man City play later), there’s certainly a little added spice to be felt in the post-game celebrations.

A draw would put them up to fifth and sixth, or higher if it’s a very high-scoring draw.

Fulham, watch out!

Brendan Rodgers provides Wesley Fofana update amid Chelsea transfer speculation

13:35 , Karl Matchett

Brendan Rodgers says Wesley Fofana was left out of the squad for Leicester’s defeat to Southampton because the Chelsea target was not in the right frame of mind to play.

The 21-year-old defender was conspicuous by his absence from the team sheet as the Foxes looked to seal their first victory of the season against winless Saints.

Fofana watched Saturday’s match alongside supporters at the King Power Stadium.

How to watch Leeds vs Chelsea online and on TV today

13:30 , Karl Matchett

Sunday sees Leeds United and Chelsea meet in the Premier League as two sides who have embarked on busy summers meet at Elland Road.

The Blues’ takeover at the end of last year and subsequent spending spree to rebuild Thomas Tuchel’s squad has seen the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling added to the squad, while for Leeds it has been a case of replacing two key departures.

Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips were sold to Barcelona and Man City respectively and the likes of Brendan Aaronson, Marc Roca and Rasmus Kristensen have been brought in to fill the void.

Here’s all you need to know ahead of the game:

Leeds vs Chelsea: What happened last time out?

13:25 , Karl Matchett

Safe to say the home side today will be looking for a much better encounter than when the teams met last term.

It was right near the end of the campaign – 11 May in fact, so only five league games ago technically – and it was a bit of a spanking for Jesse Marsch’s men.

Dan James was sent-off after just 24 minutes and Chelsea were already ahead by then through Mason Mount; Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku added to the scoreboard in a 3-0 win.

Having taken a 3-2 victory at Stamford Bridge in December, when Leeds were still under Marcelo Bielsa’s management, it meant a double for the Blues in this fixture in 21/22. Jorginho scored the winner in that game from the penalty spot deep into injury time.

‘We have a chance’: Jesse Marsch confident Leeds can hurt Chelsea

13:20 , Karl Matchett

Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch claims his side “can cause some havoc” in Sunday’s home Premier League game against Chelsea.

One of English football’s fiercest rivalries will be revisited at Elland Road and Marsch feels his new-look squad is capable of springing an ambush.

The American said: “I think we have a team that can cause some havoc against an opponent like this right now.

“At home, I think we always enjoy playing in Elland Road, I think you can see that in the beginning stages that the team is coming together in a good way.”

Leeds vs Chelsea: Confirmed lineups

13:03 , Karl Matchett

The team news is in! Loftus-Cheek keeps his place at wing-back and it’s Conor Gallagher who gets the nod in central midfield to replace the injured N’Golo Kante for Chelsea. No surprises in the Leeds line-up, with Rodrigo up front after Patrick Bamford’s latest issue. Struijk continues at left-back.

Leeds XI: Meslier, Kristensen, Struijk, Koch, Llorente, Adams, Roca, Aaronson, Harrison, James, Rodrigo

Chelsea XI: Mendy, James, Silva, Koulibaly, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Gallagher, Cucurella, Mount, Havertz, Sterling

Leeds vs Chelsea: the season so far

12:50 , Karl Matchett

Two games in and these teams are level on points, goal difference and another stat which you won’t find by looking at the league table: giving up victories late on.

Wins on the opening weekend came for Chelsea at Everton, 1-0, and Leeds at home to Wolves, 2-1.

But last weekend they both drew 2-2: Leeds went two goals up away to Southampton before conceding twice in the final 20 minutes, while for Chelsea it was an injury time equaliser they couldn’t prevent against Tottenham – just after that controversial hair-pull moment.

Will they be separated today?

Frank Lampard can’t guarantee Chelsea target Anthony Gordon will remain at Everton

12:45 , Karl Matchett

Frank Lampard has said he wants Anthony Gordon to stay at Everton and improve them rather than move to Chelsea – but admitted he could not guarantee the winger will still be at Goodison Park when the transfer window closes.

Everton rejected an offer, thought to be of up to £45 million, for the 21-year-old this week – but while Lampard believes Gordon has a huge value and is worth more than some players who have gone for high fees, he insisted that was not a negotiating ploy to get Chelsea to raise their bid.

Gordon missed a fine late chance to give Everton a win in their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Thomas Tuchel handed suspended one-match ban for heated clash with Antonio Conte

12:38 , Karl Matchett

Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have been hit by fines following their heated confrontation at Stamford Bridge last weekend, while the Chelsea manager has also received a one-match touchline ban.

However, Tuchel’s ban has been “suspended temporarily” pending written reasons that will be made available “in due course,” an FA statement said. Tuchel will therefore be on the touchline for his side’s match against Leeds on Sunday.

Tuchel has been fined £35,000 for the incident while Tottenham boss Conte has been hit with a £15,000 fine and has not received a ban.

Both managers were charged by the FA with improper conduct following the 2-2 draw in the Premier League last weekend, which saw Tuchel and Conte receive red cards at the full-time whistle.

Leeds vs Chelsea: Early team news

12:30 , Jamie Braidwood

Leeds have defensive concerns with Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas definitely out, while Junior Firpo is also now sidelined. Liam Cooper remains a doubt though probably wouldn’t start this one even if he is fit for the squad. Patrick Bamford picked up another problem against Southampton so Rodrigo will likely start in attack.

Chelsea will be without Mateo Kovacic again, while fellow central midfielder N’Golo Kante is out after picking up a hamstring strain against Spurs last weekend. Thomas Tuchel shouldn’t have any other injury worries and must pick between Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell at left wing-back in one of several interesting line-up calls.

Predicted line-ups

LEE – Meslier, Kristensen, Koch, Llorente, Struijk, Roca, Adams, James, Aaronson, Harrison, Rodrigo

CHE – Mendy, James, Silva, Koulibaly, Loftus-Cheek, Gallagher, Jorginho, Cucurella, Mount, Havertz, Sterling
