In Saturday's early game, Everton and Arsenal played out an uneventful 0-0 draw at Goodison Park in front of their respective new bosses Carlo Ancelotti and Mikel Arteta. High-flying Sheffield United edged to victory at Brighton despite having two goals disallowed by the video assistant referee (VAR). John Egan's early goal was ruled out by VAR, but Ollie McBurnie's powerful effort gave the Blades the lead midway through the first half. The Paraguayan volleyed home Andy Carroll's far-post knock down to extend the Magpies' unbeaten league run at St James' Park to eight matches. There are two more games on Sunday: bottom-of-the-table Watford host Manchester United in the early game, before Jose Mourinho's Tottenham face Frank Lampard's Chelsea in the weekend's final top-flight fixture.
