    "Wow. Wow! That was an incredible free-kick, up and over the wall and into the far side netting. The ball moves a yard in the air and the keeper Speroni just can't get across. It's all about the pace and the whip on that ball. That arrowed diagonally into the far corner, and it's a wonderful, wonderful goal."

  3. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:07 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Ooof! The West Ham crossbar is still shaking. Burnley's George Boyd elegantly chests down a Kieran Trippier cross before thumping a vicious shot against the metal. West Ham survive.

    What a goal. Standing over a free-kick 30 yards out, Oscar curls a free-kick over the wall and beyond the grasp of Julian Speroni. Pick that out.

    "Jose Mourinho is secure in the knowledge that in his squad are solutions to any problems that might occur. He knows who he's got up front, and we all know Loic Remy can play the way that Chelsea play. When he's come on he's done well, so why worry about Remy stepping in for Diego Costa? I'm sure he'll be fine.

    "Chelsea will look to dominate but Palace will keep up with them, working hard. We've already seen Palace break with pace and power, and they could already be a goal up in this game."

    Everton have a spring in their step early on - perhaps boosted by the return of Ross Barkley. Leon Osman has an early shot blocked before the follow up is smashed into the stand behind the goal by an over-eager Barkley.

    "Arsene Wenger seems to be completely submerged in quality midfield players but you think why are you not buying anybody to shore up the defence? If Arsenal did that, people would have to start taking them seriously in terms of chasing Chelsea and Man City. It is Wenger's responsibility to do that. If you don't then don't complain when it puts you under pressure."

    Injury-hit Arsenal find their rhythm in the early stages, stroking around the ball neatly, but yet to make a dent in the Hull backline.

    "On Football Focus earlier today David Moyes said he was looking for the 'right club' to return to the game. He's here at Burnley v West Ham."

    "There's a little bit of pressure put on Chelsea by the manner of City's win over Spurs. There's just a two point gap now..."

    Five of our six 3pm kick-offs are under way. They've still not fixed that big screen at Newcastle.

  14. Big Sam's big birthday bashpublished at 14:59 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Picking the perfect 60th birthday present can be tricky. A keepsake piece of jewellery? A once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Great Wall of China? Or three points at Burnley?

    The latter will do nicely for West Ham boss Sam Allardyce, who celebrates his landmark birthday tomorrow.

    "There is plenty of life left in me but I can't believe I've got 'six-oh' next to my name. I don't know where it's all gone but as everybody warns you - it goes quicker and quicker the older you get," says Big Sam.

    The ex-Bolton and Blackburn boss will stay in the north-west tonight for a special birthday party to mark the occasion. Reports that he is holding the bash at Brian Potter's Phoenix Club are unconfirmed…

    This is your three-minute warning. I repeat - this is your three-minute warning (except if you are a Newcastle or Leicester fan). Grab yourself a cuppa and strap yourselves in for the glutton of Premier League goals.

    Mark from Wycombe: Had Sergio Aguero any idea he'd score four against a very average Spurs side? I b'Etihad!

    Simon in York: Arsenal will be better off today without Me-first Ozil. He doesn't have the grit and moxie to make it in the Premier League.

    Still a lot of action at St James' Park - on the touchline at least. Important-looking, suited men have their mobile phones glued to their ears as they talk about making this problematic big screen safe.

    That thankless task falls to one man, who is now stood in a crane and wearing a high-visibility jacket. Doesn't look like he is getting very far to be honest...

    Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Goodison Park

    "The big news from Goodison Park - which was greeted with delight by Everton fans - is the return of England midfield man Ross Barkley for his first game of the season. He suffered knee ligament damage days before the season started.

    "Antolin Alcaraz replaces the injured John Stones, out for three months after ankle surgery. It is a surprise selection by Everton manager Roberto Martinez, with the experienced Sylvain Distin not on the bench. Martinez was forced to deny speculation on Merseysider earlier this week that he had had a bust-up with Distin.

    "The big story for Villa is the return of striker Christian Benteke in attack for his first start since March, when he ruptured an Achilles tendon in training."
