    Man City 0-0 Watford

    No urgency from Manchester City - this time Jesus Navas floating the ball across the box but there's nobody there to attack it.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester

    BBC Sport's Mark Mitchener at Vitality Stadium:  "Max Gradel's first-minute booking has earned him plenty of 'Leicester reject' chants from the travelling Foxes fans. But with Ritchie de Laet now in the book for fouling the Ivorian, there are signs that the pace of Gradel, Callum Wilson and Matt Ritchie may be the key if Bournemouth are to unlock the Leicester defence.

    "At the other end, Jamie Vardy can expect a busy afternoon as Leicester's lone striker, but he can't fail to notice the man he has to beat, Cherries keeper Artur Boruc, whose fluorescent green/yellow goalkeeping outfit is brighter than even the stewards' hi-vis jackets."

    Liverpool 0-1 West Ham

    Manuel Lanzini making a name for himself, the Hammers man driving through a gap and firing just wide on the counter. West Ham set up well to hurt Liverpool on the break.

    Stoke 0-0 West Brom

    Stoke had 79% possession in the first 10 minutes of this match. They are dominating but are yet to create a good chance.

    Jason Roberts on Final Score:  "Cattermole has got his hands all over him, and you can't do that. It's rash."

    Liverpool 0-1 West Ham

    The classic away-day display early on from West Ham? The average positions graphic below (West Ham on the right) shows the Hammers have been mostly defending. They still lead though...

    Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Cesc Fabregas has the first shot of the game but it's a tame one as the hosts struggle to kick into gear. Jose Mourinho is already out patrolling his technical area. Not happy.

    Man City 0-0 Watford

    Hang on... now Watford are attacking. They win a corner, bit of a scramble and Sebastian Prodl pokes wide from six yards out.

    Liverpool 0-1 West Ham

    James Milner has to scrabble across to make a key block and prevent a chance for West Ham. The Hammers have started really well at Anfield. Worried faces in the Kop.

    Liverpool 0-1 West Ham

    Jason Roberts on Final Score:  "Joe Gomez has got to do better. That's the difference between a goal and keeping a clean sheet - making sure Lanzini doesn't get across him there."

    Scott Sinclair (Pen 11 mins)

    For a man who once scored a hat-trick in a play-off final a penalty from 12 yards is easy enough. Scott Sinclair gives the keeper the eyes and rolls it home. Great start at Villa Park.

    Liverpool 0-1 West Ham

    Crackerjack! The first we've seen from Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino and it's brilliant, a twist onto his left foot and then an arrow of a strike that crashes against the post.

    Yann M'Vila (8 mins)

    Yann M'Vila  gives Sunderland the lead in fine fashion, bending home a free-kick from 25 yards out. Brad Guzan had no chance. Dick Advocaat punches the air in delight.

    Man City 0-0 Watford

    It's all very patient build-up at the Etihad where Manchester City are stroking the ball about in their own half. David Silva ends up picking up the ball in the centre circle to try and inject some urgency. Watford keeping City at arm's length. For now.

    Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Chelsea's defence - and Branislav Ivanovic in particular - are under scrutiny after a shaky start to the season but the full-back does well to block a Wilfried Zaha cross after the Palace man had originally left him for dead. 

    This time last year Chelsea were heads and shoulders above the rest. Slow start this time around.

    Liverpool 0-1 West Ham

    What a start for West Ham as Manuel Lanzini opens the scoring at Anfield - as shown below.

    Martin Skrtel (37) should have done much better with his clearance.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester

    Bournemouth forward Max Gradel was booked inside 15 seconds against his former club. Form-side Leicester subdued in these very early stages.

    Stoke 0-0 West Brom

    Jason Roberts on Final Score:  "Not only has Mark Hughes managed to transition Stoke's playing style, he has kept them winning and changed the whole culture of the club."

    Aston Villa 0-0 Sunderland

    Three of the last four meetings between these two sides at Villa Park have been goalless. Should be a good un.
