BBC Sport's Nabil Hassan is toiling away on the Championship game between QPR and Nottingham Forest. It's not a classic by any stretch - he's counting down the minutes to a half-time brew - so he'd welcome your company and input. He's over here.

Games between the Gunners and Potters usually make for tasty affairs but, on home turf, Arsenal tend to come out on top.

The Gunners have won each of their past 13 home encounters with Stoke in a sequence that dates back to 1981, although Potters boss Mark Hughes has his sights set on causing an upset.

"We feel we're better equipped with certain types of players that can maybe ask more questions of them," said Hughes.

"Certainly on their own patch they've had an indifferent start, maybe it's a good time to play them."

Paul Mackie: Jose's bus has just got a puncture.

Josh Hammond: Naismith, you beauty! (That's a neutral's view too!)

Alex Haworth: I predict Mr Mourinho will be on his way before the end of the month.

"I don't think Asmir Begovic had much chance in getting that but my word. Everton lead by two.

"Everton played a string of passes in the build-up to that goal and there wasn't a Chelsea shirt in sight. Has there ever been a substitute come on and scored two goals in five minutes? Not bad that, really, from Steven Naismith."

It must feel good for Manuel Pellegrini to finally land Kevin De Bruyne. He's been casting admiring glances in the forward's direction for a long time. The Belgian has cost a few quid, but Pellegrini thinks that will soon be forgotten.

"I am sure with Kevin that, at the end of the season, no one will remember how much we paid for him," said Pellegrini., external

If I paid £54m for something, I wouldn't forget about the pricetag nine months later. I'm still fuming about spending £450 on a fridge which broke about two days after its warranty ended.

"From the way the game started I didn't think we'd be seeing a goal. And I didn't think Steven Naismith was going to get on the end of it either. 

"Brendan Galloway's cross was so hard and Asmir Begovic had no chance. Now Jose Mourinho will see how his side respond."

"You would play David De Gea wouldn't you? 

"By giving him a new contract Manchester United are protecting their investment. They are buying a higher transfer fee, and De Gea gets paid more money. That is business - and how football operates now. 

"He's the best goalkeeper. Play him. From a players' point of view, a new contract softens the blow that you haven't signed for your boyhood idols."

It's still more than four hours until kick-off at Old Trafford, but we should know around 16:30 BST whether David De Gea has got the nod in goal. That's when Louis van Gaal will reveal his team. And maybe sing. Who knows what the Dutchman will do next?

There's not much happening in the Championship's early kick-off at Loftus Road, so let's all pile into that dedicated live text and tempt Nottingham Forest or QPR into a goal...

"As no top-division team was more active in the transfer window than Watford, this weekend's match will be viewed as an early opportunity to test how successful their business has been.

"As well as the 15 new players recruited, it has also seen the departures of several key players who helped them secure promotion, with the likes of Gabriele Angella, Fernando Forrestieri, Miguel Layun and Matej Vydra allowed to leave.

"The hosts haven't scored since the opening day and are winless this campaign, so the visit of a much more settled, self-assured and unbeaten Swansea will rightly be viewed with a degree of trepidation."

Not only are Watford playing one of the most in-form teams in the country, but a team which excelled against newly-promoted teams last season.

Swansea clearly didn't take Leicester, Burnley or QPR lightly last term as they recorded a double over the Clarets, took four points off Rangers and three against Leicester (losing to the Foxes on the final day of the season).

"It's the old guard back, for Chelsea. John Terry and Jon Obi Mikel. Jose Mourinho has gone defensive, shoring his side up. He's looking for a response today."  

Which player has surprised you the most in the first four games of the season? And who has disappointed the most?

Max Baggins-Craig: In terms of Manchester United, surprised: Young and Shaw. Disappointed: Herrera and Valencia. Shocked loan departures: Blackett and W. Keane.

Okosisi Diddex:  Surprised: Smalling and Mahrez.  Disappointed: Costa and Depay.

Zaheen: Surprised: Darmain and Marhez. Disappointed: Fabregas and Hazard.

Here we go then. Our first Premier League match of the afternoon. Chris Bevan is at the wheel of our dedicated live text.

Could there be a bit of needle in this match at Carrow Road this afternoon? The Cherries tried to sign Canaries striker Lewis Grabban in the transfer window - a bid which was rejected. 

Grabban then missed Norwich's Capital One Cup victory over Rotherham and was consequently suspended for a breach of discipline.

However, Eddie Howe says there are no hard feelings, and added:, external "We're competitors, we're two teams that were in the same league last year and fought a really good battle to try and get out of the Championship, and both sides were successful. And now we're going against each other in the Premier League it should be a good match."

It's second versus first at Selhurst Park this afternoon, but Manchester City are missing David Silva for a fixture which they lost last season. No bother... they'll just have to throw in £54m signing Kevin De Bruyne instead.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini can't wait to see his new boy in action: "Kevin is an important player, like Raheem (Sterling), he has characteristics we need.

"His position is easy to settle in our team. He will be a very important player for us. He's in the squad list, we'll see whether he starts.

"He's a young player and he's improved a lot since he was last in the Premier League."

"What Chelsea player has performed better this season than they did last year? Or at the same level? None of them. 

"Branislav Ivanovic has been all over the place, John Terry looks ropy, Nemanja Matic? Diego Costa? And generally they have been undercooked with their fitness, too."
