There is an emotional video being played on the big screen at Goodison Park remembering Howard Kendall's time at the club as both a player and a manager. A round of applause from both sets of fans at its conclusion.

Heading into today's games, Chelsea have eight points from as many games and no side has finished above fifth in the Premier League after such a start.

They face Aston Villa today, who have started even worse (four points worse to be precise) and are winless in seven.

Ominously, Villa have not kept a Premier League clean sheet at Stamford Bridge since March 1998, conceding 30 times in eight subsequent visits.

Manchester City anoraks, or indeed fans of Bournemouth, may recall a meeting between these two sides at Dean Court in 1999.

And one peculiar incident, in particular.

"I must have missed a rule change because we had one player booked for aggressive walking," said then City manager Joe Royle of Kevin Horlock.

Royle confirmed that Horlock was booked for "walking towards the referee in an aggressive manner while asking a question." The referee admitted that the player never swore...

Leaders Walsall will look to hang onto stop spot by beating struggling Chesterfield at the Bescot Stadium. 

Dean Saunders' Spireites have won just once in the league since August but will take encouragement from the fact that of their four wins this season, three have come away from home. 

Second-placed Burton go to Fleetwood, who are looking for their first win under new manager Steven Pressley. 

Blackpool are seeking a fourth win in a row for the first time in five years as they go to Coventry, while new Doncaster manager Darren Ferguson starts his reign at home to Bradford City. 

Oldham boss David Dunn is hoping for his first win in charge at home to Sheffield United, while in the Lancashire derby at Gigg Lane, a win for Bury against Rochdale could take the in-form Shakers to the top of the table.

Dennis: Decent start from Klopp - clean sheet and a point away. Great foundation from which to start building.

Sam Payne: Great to see Mourinho giving Ruben Loftus-Cheek a game. The team needs a lift and he might give us that, like Kane did at Spurs.

I Am Stan: Hazard, Kompany, Depay all dropped. Very brave decisions.

Everton are paying their respects to Howard Kendall - the club's former manager who has died aged 69 - this afternoon with a minute's silence before kick-off, while the players will be wearing black armbands.

Kendall led the Toffees to two First Division titles, as well as an FA Cup triumph and European Cup Winners' Cup win.

Garth Crooks
Former Spurs striker on Final Score

"Klopp's approach today has been spot on. He is charismatic, effervescent and an innovator, but today he displayed calm and caution. Nothing flash, just getting the job done. Liverpool are going home and can build on this."

Danny Murphy
Ex-Liverpool midfielder on BBC Radio 5 live at White Hart Lane

"Tottenham probably edged it. Liverpool were excellent in the first 20 minutes but since then Spurs have been the better the side and they would have deserved a win - just about. 

"I'm sure Jurgen Klopp will be more than delighted with a clean sheet away to Tottenham in his first game."

Garth Crooks
Former Spurs striker on Final Score

"Klopp has been brought in by Liverpool to try and break dominance at the top of the league. There are actually very few managers who can do that, but of course Howard Kendall was one of them."  

It's all over at White Hart Lane, where Jurgen Klopp's reign as Liverpool manager begins with a 0-0 draw against Tottenham.

The Championship also swings back into action today, with leaders Brighton going to Elland Road to face Leeds. 

And something looks likely to give with Brighton yet to lose away and Leeds winless at home.

If Brighton's record does go, Middlesbrough could take over at the top as they look for a fourth successive home win against Fulham. 

In-form Reading are seeking a fourth successive victory of their own at home to Charlton, while at the botttom end there's a big first game in charge for new Rotherham manager Neil Redfearn. 

The ex-Leeds boss takes his side to Brentford - yet to win under  Lee Carsley - with the sides level on points and goal difference either side of the drop line.

Sheffield Wednesday and Hull drew 1-1 in the early kick-off.

Crystal Palace name an unchanged XI from the one that started in the 2-0 win over West Brom. Damien Delaney and Mile Jedinak return to the bench.

Enner Valencia is on the bench for West Ham having been sidelined since suffering a knee injury in a Europa League qualifying tie in July, while fellow forward Carroll is also a substitute after shaking off a knock.

Diafra Sakho starts up front for the Hammers.

Right, be honest... what would you think if your manager came over and gave you hugs and kisses when you did something good at work. I'm not so sure, to be honest (I hope he's not reading this).

Anyway, that's what Louis van Gaal does on Manchester United's training ground.

Juan Mata said earlier this week: , external"I really value his honesty. When someone does something in training that he really likes, he goes over to hug and kiss them – he really does it.

"Or he says in front of everyone, ‘You are the best in training, I’m really proud of how you played,’ to set a a good example to others.”

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini shuffles his pack after a string of injuries with Wilfried Bony in for Sergio Aguero and Jesus Navas in for David Silva. Yaya Toure is also back in the team, but captain Vincent Kompany is on the bench, despite playing for Belgium on Tuesday.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe makes two changes as Adam Smith and Euan O'Kane come in for Marc Pugh and Joshua King. The game comes too soon for midfielder Harry Arter, who is returning from injury and not in the squad.

So, which game are you watching this afternoon?

I'm sure you know how much you paid for your ticket - but how does it stack up against other clubs in your team's division?

In fact, what is the price of watching football these days?

Well, here's the answer: in BBC Sport's Price of Football study.

It's good. Have a play with our calculator and find out for yourself.

Plenty of changes for Chelsea, who have Diego Costa back up front in place of Radamel Falcao. Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is handed his first league start of the season. Eden Hazard drops to the bench, as does Oscar, allowing Pedro to come in. Baba is at full-back due to an injury to Branislav Ivanovic.

Four changes for Aston Villa, Kieran Richardson is in for Jose Angel Crespo in defence, Jack Grealish, Jordan Ayew and Carlos Gil come in to midfield, with Jordan Veretout, Jordan Amavi and Scott Sinclair dropping out.  

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew thinks he knows where the threat lies from his former club West Ham this afternoon.

Speaking to the media, he said: "They're very good on the counter.

"I expect us to get a grasp of the game like we did against West Brom and dictate proceedings but that's not going to stop West Ham from winning the game. We need to be organised in our possession otherwise they will counter us really quickly and we'll find ourselves in the game

"West Ham have a bigger and stronger squad than us. But if we can stay clear of injuries and keep this group together, we can compete with them and that's what we've got to hope to do."
