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.
