  1. CLOSE!published at 16:15

    Aston Villa 2-2 Sunderland

    This game is being played at 100mph now. Micah Richards wins the ball at the back, charges into the box but somehow manages to clear the ball off the Sunderland line when Scott Sinclair put a low cross into the box. It was easier to score.

    "Philippe Coutinho is incredibly unfortunate. He's slipped, it's totally accidental - not a yellow card for me."

    It's early, but things are looking very good indeed for Manchester City right now...

      "The game has really opened up now. Yannick Bolasie on for Palace and he'll be a danger on this left flank."  

  5. RED CARD - Coutinhopublished at 16:12

    Liverpool 0-2 West Ham

    Liverpool's day goes from awful to horrific as key man Philippe Coutinho is sent off for a second booking. He's absolutely done by a wonderful turn from Dimitri Payet. A Zinedine Zidane pirouette on the ball totally baffles Coutinho, who slides in and takes him out. Definite foul, clear booking. Liverpool in strife.

    Fernandinho (56 mins)

    Manchester City are showing off now. Yaya Toure hits a free-kick into the wall but it is cleared only as far as Fernandinho.

    Now here's the good bit... the midfielder plays a one-two with David Silva who takes out four men with one pass. Then Fernandinho rifles a shot across the keeper and into the net. Sublime.

  7. Mings injurypublished at 16:10

    Bournemouth 1-0 Leicester

    Tyrone Mings only came on at half-time but he £8m left-back is already injured. He's on a stretcher after being clattered and that's a shame on his Premier League debut.

    "It's a good finish from Lens, but from a defensive point of view it's far too easy. Clark lets him cut inside. Sunderland have started the second half really well."

    Can Chelsea kick it up a gear? It's been pretty low key so far from the champions.

    Diego Costa goes to ground but this is an excellent tackle from Damien Delaney. A risky one, but a terrific one.

    Jeremain Lens

    This game is quickly rising towards the top of the Match of the Day running order. We're back on level terms when Jeremain Lens cuts inside and, with Ciaran Clark on his bum, he hammers the ball past Brad Guzan. Via a slight deflection. Say what you want about Sunderland but they are proving they have fight.

    Stoke 0-1 West Brom

    Big Salomon Rondon is enjoying himself now. With Stoke down to nine men, the striker finds room again but heads over.

    "Chelsea will be expecting more of Eden Hazard in the second half, and they will need Cesc Fabregas to get on the ball more and influence things as well."

    Bournemouth 1-0 Leicester

    He may have left Stoke now but Robert Huth still got the memo about today's plan of attack.

    The Leicester defender munches Callum Wilson with a heavy tackle and then smashes the ball into his face!

    He's booked - could have been worse too.

    Man City 1-0 Watford

    John Hartson
    Former Wales striker on Final Score

    "Watford switch off - it's far too easy for Sagna to get the ball in. Sterling makes a great run across the near post and it's a very deft finish."

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:04

    Liverpool 0-2 West Ham

    Two nil down at home, best get a left-back on. Liverpool bring on Alberto Moreno at the break for Emre Can. Odd.

    Who's marking Raheem? Who's marking Rah... D'oh!

    City's new signing gives them the lead when he ghosts into the box and stabs home, unmarked, from six yards out following Bacary Sagna's cross from the right.

    Man City 0-0 Watford

    Most of Manchester City's attacks are coming down the left, through Raheem Sterling. Watford are also using their left in their rare forrays forward.
