Even as the game has kicked off, check out the starting XIs for Fulham and Liverpool at Craven Cottage:
Over at the Gtech Community Stadium, we are goalless after 11-odd minutes of football between Brentford and Chelsea. Here are the teams for your reference:
And at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs have taken an early lead courtesy Brennan Johnson's 13th-minute strike. Here are the starting XIs for this match:
Liverpool score in the 14th minute to take the lead, and Fulham strike back in the 23rd and 31st! Alexis Mac Allister unleashes a brilliant long-range strike to beat Bernd Leno from distance and convert their very first shot on goal. But the Cottagers are here for a scrap, and find the back of the net soon via Ryan Sessegnon. Alex Iwobi then makes it 3-1, upstaging Reds goalie Caoimhin Kelleher with a deflected finish.
Fulham are rampant at Craven Cottage! They score three goals in 14 minutes, the latest one coming from Rodrigo Muniz to put them 3-1 ahead against league leaders Liverpool at half-time. The Reds have only lost one game in the season so far, and their last away EPL defeat was back in April last year. Will they be upset tonight?
Meanwhile, Tottenham surge to a 2-0 lead against Southampton, courtesy Brennan Johnson's brace (13th and 42nd minute) and the Brentford vs Chelsea encounter is yet to see a goal.
Action has resumed at Craven Cottage, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as well as the Gtech Community Stadium. Liverpool have been stung by Fulham in the first half and are eyeing a comeback to avoid what would be a remarkable upset, given their form this season. The clash between Chelsea and Brentford still awaits its opening goal, while Tottenham are trying to seal victory with a third goal against the visiting Southampton.
Liverpool zoom right back into the contest with Fulham. Luis Diaz it is, with a 72nd-minute goal that cuts the deficit to 2-3 for the Reds. There is enough time for an equalizer and also a winner from here. Can the Cottagers hold on?
Six minutes of added time are underway in the Fulham vs Liverpool clash. The Reds, desperate for the equaliser, earn a bright chance via Chiesa, whose low shot goes straight to Bernd Leno, who pouches it. This will go right down to the wire.
Liverpool are unable to find the equaliser, and go down 2-3 to Fulham at Craven Cottage. This is the Reds' first away defeat in the league under Arne Slot, and only their second EPL loss this season.
Over at Tottenham, Spurs convert a last-ditch penalty to make it a decisive 3-1 win over Southampton. And the Brentford vs Chelsea clash ends in a 0-0 stalemate.
