  1. CLOSE!published at 14:16 British Summer Time 25 October 2014

    Diafra Sakho is so close to scoring for a record sixth game in a row but sees his shot from Cheikhou Kouyate's cutback lands on the roof of the Manchester City net.

    All over at The Den and it's Ian Holloway who is smiling.

    Danny Shittu made his first league start of the season for Millwall and scored the only goal, rising at the back post to head in Shaun Williams' corner. But what Cardiff boss Russell Slade will make of what appeared to be a foul on his keeper David Marshall when the ball came into the box should be interesting.

    Millwall won't care though. They are celebrating wildly as they leave the pitch and who can blame them? It's their first win in nine games.

    "I wouldn't book Kompany for that last foul but the accumulation of fouls may be worth another yellow. It has to be one more for him and he's off."

    Talk about West Ham riding their luck a little bit but Vincent Kompany is a lucky man to still be on the pitch. He pushes Enner Valencia and West Ham get a free-kick, but no second yellow for Kompany.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time 25 October 2014

    West Ham boss Sam Allardyce throws on some fresh legs for the closing stages as Cheikhou Kouyate comes on for Morgan Amalfitano.

    Despite an 8-0 demolition of Sunderland last week, Southampton make one change, with Senegal midfielder Sadio Mane replacing Shane Long.

    Stoke boss Mark Hughes makes two changes from the team which beat Swansea in a stormy match at the Britannia. American Geoff Cameron makes his first league start of the season, while Jonathan Walters also come in.

    Southampton XI: Forster, Clyne, Fonte ( c), Alderweireld, Bertrand, Cork, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Mané, Tadić, Pellè.

    Stoke XI: Begovic; Bardsley, Shawcross (c), Wilson, Pieters; Cameron, Nzonzi; Walters, Adam, Moses; Crouch.

    "Incredible by Adrian. How Aguero misses this shot in the six-yard box, it's one of those things as a striker you practice 100 times and score 99. He was thinking it's a goal. Then Toure comes in and Adrian makes another save., Those are the moments where you need your keeper to turn up and so far he has done that."

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 25 October 2014

    My word! So, so close for Manchester City! Yaya Toure surges through the West Ham defence like the Toure of last season, feeds the ball out wide to Jesus Navas, who crosses into the area where Sergio Aguero looks for all the world certain to put the ball in the back of the net, but his effort hits the underside of the crossbar and Adrian saves from Toure's follow up. Amazing luck for West Ham.

    Sunderland manager Gus Poyet makes two changes from the side that capitulated 8-0 at Southampton. Jack Rodwell and Adam Johnston - who both played in the last half hour of that defeat - replace Jordi Gomez and Connor Wickham.

    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger restores Mikel Arteta and Calum Chambers to his starting XI in favour of Hector Bellerin and Jack Wilshere. Theo Walcott is a surprise inclusion among the substitutes after nine months out with a knee injury.

    Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Arteta, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Sanchez, Welbeck

  12. Get involved: "Can we have our ball back?"published at 14:06 British Summer Time 25 October 2014

    We have been working in tandem with The Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live and asking you to share your interesting anecdotes around having to ask the eternal question: "Can we have our ball back please?"

    Charlie, Surrey: 15 years ago I lived in Doha, Qatar, next door to the United States ambassador. This meant on a number of occasions I would have to get past the Qatari soldiers positioned outside his residence, knock on the gate and ask the two US soldiers, complete with submachine guns strapped across their chests, if they could throw my football back. Aged 10 it was exciting but scary!

    Matt Hallsworth: West Ham's front three have caused Manchester City so many problems with their pressing and intensity. We've been second to every ball in midfield.

    "The movement from Aguero is excellent. He creates space but draws an excellent save from Adrian."

    Brilliant block by James Collins as he throws his body in front of Sergio Aguero's shot from less than six yards out. David Silva had first put Aguero through, his initial shot was denied by Adrian before Collins got in front of Aguero's follow up. Great work.

  17. Walcott on the bench for Arsenalpublished at 14:03 British Summer Time 25 October 2014

    Forward Theo Walcott, out since January with a knee injury, makes his return to the Arsenal bench at Sunderland.

    Rian Hoskins:, external It is amazing how, like Southampton, so many of West Ham's new signings have hit the ground running in both attack and defence.

    Jamie Atkins:, external Why didn't Arsenal re-sign Alex Song? He is twice the player that left us. He's been brilliant today.

    Timothy Walton:, external Did anyone else notice Song's cheeky rabona cross (see 54 mins)? Erik Lamela starting a craze!

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:02 British Summer Time 25 October 2014

    There has been no real response from Manchester City and unsurprisingly Manuel Pellegrini makes a change. Edin Dzeko has managed a solitary shot all game, which was off target, and off he goes for Stevan Jovetic.
