Summary

  1. 'Newcastle can move on now the Isak saga is over'published at 14:37 BST

    Newcastle v Wolves (15:00 BST)

    Chris Sutton predictions graphics

    Both of these teams are still without a win so far, although Wolves are the only Premier League club without a point on the board.

    Newcastle have drawn twice and only lost very late on against Liverpool, so their form is hardly cause for concern.

    They can move on now the Alexander Isak transfer saga is over, although this could be our first look at some of their new attack.

    Yoane Wissa is unavailable so we will have to wait and see how fit and ready Nick Woltemade is, but I still think Newcastle will have too much for a Wolves team who are leaking too many goals.

    At least Wolves do carry a threat going forward - though they will be missing Jorgen Strand Larsen, who Newcastle tried to sign last month.

    Sutton's prediction: 3-1

  2. 'An exciting draw, not a boring one'published at 14:33 BST

    Bournemouth v Brighton (15:00 BST)

    Chris Sutton predictions graphics

    Both these teams had really good wins before the international break.

    Bournemouth only beat Tottenham 1-0 but they absolutely hammered them, and could and should have scored more goals.

    Brighton's victory over Manchester City was different in that they nicked the points late on - Erling Haaland was my Fantasy Premier League captain and he could have had a hat-trick for Pep Guardiola's side - but that was still an impressive result.

    When I did my research for these predictions, I was a little surprised that the Seagulls did the double over the Cherries last season, winning 2-1 home and away.

    I don't think Bournemouth will end up empty handed this time, though. I am going for a draw - an exciting one, not a boring one - on the south coast.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

  3. Bournemouth solve defensive dilemma?published at 14:31 BST

    Bournemouth v Brighton (15:00 BST)

    After losing four of their first-choice back five over the summer, there was a lot of scrutiny on Bournemouth's new-look defence in their opening 4-2 defeat by Liverpool.

    But the Cherries bounced back defensively, keeping two clean sheets as they beat both Tottenham and Wolves.

    In that time, they faced the fewest shots (11) and fewest shots on target (two) of any Premier League side.

  4. In-form duo meetpublished at 14:29 BST

    Crystal Palace v Sunderland (15:00 BST)

    Crystal Palace host Sunderland in a battle between two sides who have made bright starts to the season.

    With two trophies in the past four months and a place secured in the league phase of Europe's Conference League, it is a great time to be a Palace fan, and the good form has not just been limited to the cup competitions.

    The Eagles are on the longest current unbeaten league streak of any side in the Premier League, a run of nine games. They have not gone 10 without defeat in the top flight since a run of 12 in 1990, and have set a new club record of 14 games unbeaten in all competitions as a top-flight side.

    The away side has won five of the past six Premier League meetings between these two teams, and after their impressive start to the season, victory at Selhurst Park might no longer surprise Sunderland fans.

    In fact, the Black Cats could become just the third newly promoted club to win three of their opening four Premier League matches, after Nottingham Forest in 1994-95 and Bolton Wanderers in 2001-02.

    Right, we'll be bringing you all the follow-up from the game, including post-match interviews with Postecoglou and Arteta.

    But until then we'll be switching our attention to this afternoon's 3pm kick-offs.

  6. FULL-TIME Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forestpublished at 14:27 BST

    Well, what a satisfying afternoon for Arsenal.

    That was as comfortable a win as you could hope to get in the Premier League.

    A Martin Zubimendi double either side of a goal from Viktor Gyokeres means Arsenal move ahead of league leaders Liverpool - albeit on goal difference and having played a game more.

    It's a disappointing start to life at Forest for Ange Postecoglou. They barely laid a glove on Arsenal and looked sloppy at the back.

    He [Ange Postecoglou] will assess, look at the game, sit down and watch it. It's still very early. He'll still be sussing out his team, sussing out his players, sussing out everything really.

    There's been some good performances from the Arsenal lads, Mosquera has been really terrific accompanying Gabriel really well at the centre of defence, Madueke has played really, really well.

    The best players on the pitch have been in red and white today.

    I've got Liverpool to win the league, however after watching them play at Liverpool, I think Arsenal will go really close.

    Forest's owner regretting his decision? I think he will in the long run. Shame, Nuno was looking good last year.

  12. Was Zubimendi signed to score goals?'published at 14:17 BST

    Was Martin Zubimendi signed to score goals? Well, he has popped up with two today. Forest defensively switched off.

    My colleague reliably informs me that it's the first time Martin Zubimendi has scored twice in a game during his career.

    And I for one believe him.

    The secret is he gets up really early and the defender can't get up. Excellent header.

    Martin Zubimendi

    It's three for Arsenal and it's two for Martin Zubimendi!

    Leandro Trossard had only been on the pitch for a matter of seconds before he put a cross on the plate for Zubimendi.

    The Spaniard heads home for his second goal of the game and wheels away tapping his head in celebration.

    I don't think he scores many with his head.

  16. SUBSTITUTION - Madueke & Eze off, Trossard & Martinelli onpublished at 14:11 BST

    Arsenal 2-0 Nottingham Forest

    Noni Madueke blows a kiss to the crowd as he makes his way off the field.

    He's been Arsenal's best player this afternoon, and by some distance.

  17. 'Madueke is outstanding'published at 14:09 BST

    Noni Madueke is outstanding. I watched the game against Serbia and he was equally outstanding in that.

    He constantly drives at his full-back. At the start of the season, some Arsenal fans were complaining about him signing.

    Regarding the comment that "Ange can be fairly pleased," as a Tottenham fan I'm used to this kind of nonsense. Losing is losing, and nothing to be pleased about. Get used to it Forest fans.

    Got to say, it's a delight to see Noni Madueke playing like this.

    Shows you what confidence can do for a footballer.

    Arsenal 2-0 Nottingham Forest

    Deary me, Nottingham Forest will be thankful to see the back of Noni Madueke.

    The England winger leaves the Forest defence with twisted blood, going left and right before playing a gorgeous reverse ball for the overlapping Jurrien Timber.

    The full-back zips an enticing ball across the box, that Declan Rice comes agonisingly close to making.

    What a move.
