Sergio Aguero grimaces as he hobbles off following hefty tackles from Scott Dann and James McArthur. His replacement? That lad from Wolfsburg. Kevin.

You know... the one who cost £54m.

Troy Deeney hasn't scored in the Premier League, but he's not far away. The Hornets captain lashes in low and hard from 20 yards, but the ball flies a yard or two wide. 

Sergio Aguero signals to the bench. He's coming off...

"Arsenal are off to a flyer. Alexis Sanchez is phenomenal. He's really got the bit between his teeth today."

"Mark Hughes won't be happy with the performance of Stoke and the way the match is panning out, though he'd take 0-0 as the result as his team are just holding on. 

"Arsenal should be two, three, even four ahead at this point."

Sergio Aguero hobbles back into the action. If ever a man can bag us our first 3pm goal...

Bafetimbi Gomis, on the hottest of hot streaks, has had a quiet start to the game for Swansea but rolls his man to get a shot away. It's hard and on target but Heurelho Gomes makes the save to his left. Gomis on Gomes action.

Just before play stopped because Sergio Aguero was injured, Palace appealed for a penalty when Yohan Cabaye went to turf surrounded by four City players. It didn't look like a penalty... but replays show he was tripped by Fernandinho. The visitors get away with one?

Some afters here.

Alex Tettey took a whack to the head in the opening minutes, and the Norwich midfielder has just exacted revenge on Josh King. A real swing through the back of King, and he's slightly lucky only to get a yellow. Nasty.

So close! So, so close.

Watford put together a lovely one-touch move, the ball is set back to Almen Abdi in the 'D'. He strikes it, well, but it flicks the heel of Neil Taylor and drifts agonisingly wide.

It's getting a bit tasty at Selhurst Park, where Sergio Aguero is down on the pitch injured after being kicked on the knee by Scott Dann. The Palace defender is booked for his indiscretion.

Tony Pulis can't believe it! Callum McManaman drives into the box, Matt Targett makes an ill-advised lunge and McManaman goes flying. A huge leap through the air from the West Brom winger - and it's too much. Referee Stuart Attwell waves it away.

Was that a dive?!

It is still goalless at Emirates Stadium but the game has mostly been played in Stoke's half so far.

Arsenal's heat-map on the left shows how they have dominated play thanks to their 73% possession, while Stoke (on the right) have barely seen the ball and have hardly made it to the other side of the half-way line.

"For me, Arsene Wenger has his selection wrong today. You know Arsenal will be on the front foot and you want a proper striker leading the line for the Gunners."  

Matt Jarvis making friends and influencing people on his Norwich debut with a smart run down the left, his cross is cut out though at the front post. West Ham fans may recognise that one.

Still no nearer a goal in our five 15:00 BST games. Come on!

Jay:  The number of times Arsenal have hit the post at the Emirates this season is mind-boggling.

Jubril Kareem:  When will Wenger and Theo get it into their heads that he's just a winger that scores, and not a striker?

Now, we'd never say Stoke are one-dimensional, but...

Closer! Watford come down the left, a cross from Ikechi Anya is not dealt with and Sebastian Prodl fires in a shot from 15 yards. Knee over the ball! Over.

How is this still 0-0? This time Palace attack down the left and Bakary Sako hammers a long-range shot wide of Joe Hart's goal. End to end.
