    What other match to mention? Let's focus on Newcastle and Swansea for a bit. Swansea were impressive in their 2-2 draw against champions Chelsea, while Newcastle battled well in their draw against Southampton

    Fact: Swansea have collected 17 points against Newcastle since being promoted to the Premier League, more than any other side over the same period.

    From Wallsend Boys Club to hero status at St James' Park, via Southampton, Blackburn and...China? 

    A statue commemorating former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer's success on Tyneside is finally on its way to the North East. 

    Local newspaper the Evening Chronicle, external is reporting the 9ft structure, made in Hangzhou, will arrive via boat in Liverpool at the end of the month. 

    But if you can't wait that long they've even included a function to track the ship's journey - it's just left Shanghai, apparently - although good luck picking it out of one of the hundreds in the South China Sea...

    Last week Claudio Ranieri said he used rock band Kasabian to inspire his team to an opening-day 4-2 win over Sunderland.

    What song/band/singer would be fitting for your team to run out to - and why?

  5. No place for Shaqiripublished at 11:39

    Tottenham v Stoke (15:00 BST)

    There's no place in the Stoke team for club-record signing Xherdan Shaqiri as he serves a one-game ban from his time with Inter Milan, so we will have to wait a wee bit longer to find out if the Swiss will sprinkle Stoke with stardust. 

    Stoke boss Mark Hughes is happy with Shaqiri's arrival, saying: "At the top level, you have to have players with the ability to change games and Xherdan [Shaqiri] has the ability to create something out of nothing.

    "There is a financial angle, which you accept, but it is about playing. He is a young man and he wants to get back on track."

  7. A point to provepublished at 11:34

    Tottenham v Stoke (15:00)

    We've mentioned West Ham and Leicester but other matches are available today, of course. 

    Tottenham's tussle with Stoke should be an interesting one. Both beaten in their opening fixtures. Both, arguably, should have drawn their games. And much is expected of both following their summer of recruiting. 

    Will they do more business? Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says:"I think one more [forward is needed]... but I think we don't need to bring in too many players."

  8. Lawro's predictionspublished at 11:25

    West Ham v Leicester (15:00 BST)

    What has Mark 'Lawro' Lawrenson have to say about West Ham's match against Leicester? 

    "These two teams both got great results over the opening weekend but it is Leicester I fancy to pick up another one on Saturday," he says. 

    "The Foxes have a lot of pace and energy in wide areas and, if they keep on playing this attacking style they used against Sunderland, they will win a lot more games than they lose.

    "West Ham were brilliant when they beat Arsenal but I am going for a shock result against them here."

    West Ham v Leicester (15:00 BST)

    Leicester will not be in charge of the playlist this afternoon, however, as they travel to Upton Park to play West Ham. What are the chances of another magnificent Foxes victory? Well, let's just say history does not favour Ranieri's men.

    Last week Claudio Ranieri said he used rock band Kasabian to inspire his team to an opening-day 4-2 win over Sunderland.

    Perhaps inevitably, our next question of the day is: what song/band/crooner/songstress would be fitting for your team to run out to - and why?
