Manchester City are playing some irresistible stuff now. Raheem Sterling defies cries of 'shoot' and passes on the chance of a hat-trick (for now!) to lay the ball off to Kevin de Bruyne. The Belgian takes a couple of touches then curls in a wonderful effort which is tipped onto the bar by Adam Federici.

Wayne Rooney is played onside and he is through on goal on the right. Everton players get back to close down the angle and Rooney instead pulls the ball back to Anthony Martial, whose low shot is stopped just in front of goal by a combination of the Toffees' defence, and goalkeeper Tim Howard.

Crystal Palace's task just got a lot tougher as Dwight Gayle is sent off after receiving his second yellow card.

A stinging shot from Leicester's Danny Drinkwater, but Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis is up to the test with a superb save.

Just look at the average position of the Manchester City players and it tells a story.

Wilfried Bony (14) is holding up the ball well and together with Kevin de Bruyne (17) is time and again putting Raheem Sterling (7) through on goal. That little triumvirate is running the show and the Bournemouth right-back doesn't know which positions to take up as the two-goal former Liverpool man runs in behind.

Slightly better from Everton as they press the Manchester United defence back to the edge of the area. Phil Jagielka has the ball, and tries to bend a shot over the wall of United players, but curls it well wide of the far post.

Over at West Brom, Big Sam has given the Sunderland fans a wave but not much to report from on the pitch. 

Craig Dawson tries again after sending a shot into row Z earlier, this time the ball ends up in row J.

Leaders Brighton took an early lead at Leeds through Solly March's first goal of the season but the home side, without a win at Elland Road this season, have eased some of the pressure thanks to a headed equaliser from Liam Cooper.

Neil Redfearn's first game in charge of Rotherham hasn't got off to the best start as the Millers trail 1-0 at Brentford thanks to Alan Judge's volley.

Blackburn are down to 10 men and trail 1-0 at MK Dons after Adam Henley conceded a penalty  - converted by Ben Reeves - and was sent off.

Paul Robinson's first league goal in eight years - a diving header - has drawn Birmingham level at 1-1 with QPR, who led through Matty Phillips.

"I don't know what Brad Guzan was doing. You have to clear your lines. Any mistake and Chelsea will pounce on it, even with the poor run of form they're on at the moment.

"Villa had a chance five minutes before where Rudy Gestede should have scored. They didn't and now they've been punished."

"This is a great test of Tim Sherwood's managerial ability. At half-time will he rant and rave? Before conceding, his team was doing very well and was unlucky not to be in front. What does conceding that goal do to morale?"  

What's going on at Palace? Nothing much is the answer. West Ham are seeing plenty of the ball, but are not getting through the home side's defence.

This will be much more pleasing on the eye for Manchester United fans after the horror show at Arsenal. 

The visitors are passing the ball about neatly, patiently looking for opportunities while all the time limiting Everton to very few ventures into their half. 

So far so good for Louis van Gaal's men. Mike the cook, external will be happy.

"It's Raheem Sterling's goal but Kevin De Bruyne's pass was incredible, the weight on a ball like that, to get it just right it's such a difficult skill to pull off. 

"Sterling had the composure to finish it off though, one-on-one with the 'keeper."

"I think De Bruyne is going to be King of Assists this season. 

"But what we are seeing from Sterling at Man City is what he was missing at Liverpool last season - when he carries the ball into the box he's now got the confidence to finish."

Here's how Raheem Sterling's second goal looked. Cool as.

And what a ball from Kevin de Bruyne (17).

"For the retaken penalty Dwight Gayle was two yards in the box the first time and only a little bit inside on the second. The pressure was on Yohan Cabaye but he stepped up again. Great bottle.

"Carl Jenkinson controlled the ball so quickly for his goal that the goalkeeper had no chance to set himself, it was such a good finish too."   

Sunderland fans know all about their former player Stephane Sessegnon and he sets off on a dangerous run before feeding a pass to Craig Dawson, but the defender shows exactly why he is a defender, and not a striker, by firing his shot high into the sky.
