00:00 the Premier League weekend

00:07 review. Firstly we're going to

00:08 go to the Etihad Stadium for

00:10 the Saturday lunchtime kickoff.

00:11 That was between Manchester City

00:13 and Everton and Manchester

00:14 World's Michael Plante was

00:16 there to cover it. Manchester

00:18 City to Everton. No was the

00:20 final score here today from the

00:21 Etihad in a game that in truth,

00:23 I don't really think we'll live

00:24 too long in the memory. City

00:26 find it really difficult for the

00:27 Etihad to get a win. It was a

00:30 really good game. You had a lot

00:31 of good players there against

00:33 Everton, who defended really

00:36 well, Um, 4411 shape. The city

00:38 just couldn't break down. They

00:39 didn't offer enough incision,

00:41 penetration and you're getting

00:42 into the latter stages of the

00:44 game, wondering whether

00:45 Everton were going to make a

00:46 point, probably one of the best

00:47 defensive displays I've seen

00:48 here at the Etihad for quite a

00:50 long time, but pepper. I will

00:51 admit his changes brought on

00:52 Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne,

00:53 and it was the latter who had a

00:55 real impact didn't actually

00:56 give him between Nottingham

00:58 Forest and Newcastle United and

00:59 Newcastle World's Jordan

01:00 Cronin gave his thoughts.

01:02 Nottingham Forest to Newcastle

01:04 United three here at the city

01:06 ground this evening, a

01:07 entertaining affair as a five

01:09 goal thriller suggest. But yeah,

01:11 thank you. Newcastle United have

01:12 came out on the right side of a

01:14 thriller this time around,

01:16 obviously last week, 44 against

01:18 Luton Town and yeah, Newcastle

01:20 need to score a lot of goals

01:21 at the moment to win games.

01:23 But yeah, it was really important

01:24 that they got three points

01:25 today after probably

01:26 disappointment last week not to

01:27 not to go and win that game.

01:29 If you look Newcastle's form

01:31 now on the road for all the

01:32 struggles that they've had on

01:33 the road this season, they've

01:35 actually won their last four in

01:36 all competition. So they're

01:38 building up the momentum on the

01:39 on the travels, but really

01:41 important win today. I felt it

01:43 deserves one overall. Moving on

01:46 to Sunday, Charlie Haffenden was

01:48 there to see the clash between

01:49 Aston Villa and Manchester

01:50 United at Villa Park. Aston

01:52 Villas must not lose game

01:54 against Manchester United has

01:55 ended in well defeat. Five

01:58 points is now the gap between

01:59 Man United and Aston Villa. It

02:01 could have been 11 at the home

02:03 side come out victors tonight.

02:04 Villa, I think they're a better

02:05 team going forward. They created

02:07 more chances. Defensively, some

02:09 errors once again, like we saw

02:11 against Chelsea, like we saw

02:12 against Newcastle United. They

02:14 haven't been cut out. And

02:15 finally, if we look at Wolves

02:17 Brentford going back to Saturday

02:18 at Molineux, Charles for your

02:21 side, it wasn't the best of

02:22 afternoons, was it? Yeah,

02:24 definitely wasn't in terms of

02:25 the result. I think maybe as

02:27 well as the result, the

02:29 performance wasn't great either.

02:30 Mateus Kunia going off early did

02:33 definitely affect Wolves and

02:34 they just couldn't really

02:35 respond. I mean, no Kunia, no

02:37 Wang Yi-Chan and it left

02:39 Pedro Neto to do a lot up front

02:41 by himself and wasn't really

02:43 there to be seized upon. I

02:45 mean, you know, come the end

02:46 of the season and Wolves are

02:48 veering around the European

02:49 places, these are the points

02:51 that you need. And I mean,

02:53 huge points for Brentford. It

02:54 could possibly even keep them

02:55 up. A win like that, such an

02:58 informed Wolves at the moment.

02:59 Ivan Tony back on the score

03:01 sheet as well. Positive for

03:03 Brentford.
