    Watford 1-3 Arsenal

    That was mighty close.

    Odion Ighalo launches into an acrobatic overhead kick after Mohamed Elneny heads dangerously across the face of his own goal.

    His effort skims just over the Arsenal bar.

    Just inside the final 20 minutes.

    Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth

    Wilfried Zaha is on for Palace and looks like he is trying to prove a point.

    He is one of three Palace players to have a bite at the loose ball after Christian Benteke wins a header in the Bournemouth box.

    The Cherries survive.

    Leicester 2-0 Swansea

    [Commentator's curse imminent but] there has been little sign of Swansea mounting a comeback at the King Power. The rain continues to come down, incessantly.

    Petr Cech bails out Arsenal with a smart double save, denying Jose Holebas and Odion Ighalo in quick succession.

    Arsene Wenger decides to try and lock up shop.

    Off come Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, on come Jack Wilshere and Mohamed Elneny.

    Southampton 0-0 Sunderland

    Nathan Redmond has gone close for Southampton as they continue to push on, as now Jordan Pickford makes another good save to deny Shane Long, who has come on as a sub.

    Watford 1-3 Arsenal

    Not quite the full bottle-job, but Arsenal are straying dangerously close to the recycling centre.

    The Gunners are looking jittery with Watford getting on the ball more and making progress, especially down the right.

    A home goal now would really make things interesting.

    Chelsea 2-0 Burnley

    Chelsea come close again as Tom Heaton's parry from Eden Hazard's shot very nearly runs for Diego Costa.

    A Burnley defender hacks clear just in time to keep it at two.

    Everton 1-0 Stoke

    Mike: Honestly why does this count as an own goal? Unfair on both the attacker and the keeper.

    Christine Foxley: Never a penalty, football is now a non-contact sport.

  10. Postpublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 27 August 2016

    Everton 1-0 Stoke

    Ross Barkley has another arrowed shot from 20 yards saved by a flying Shay Given. The veteran keeper's had a fine game. And yet his own goal may settle the match.

    Watford 1-3 Arsenal

    Walter Mazzarri is spoken to by referee Kevin Friend.

    The Watford manager pleads ignorance - getting one of his backroom staff to translate the official's words.

    Seems to have done the trick. Friend trots off and Walter stays put in the dugout.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:20 British Summer Time 27 August 2016

    Southampton 0-0 Sunderland

    Fabio Borini was a doubt for this match and the Sunderland man is currently down nursing his left knee. He seemed to injure himself taking an awful free-kick.

    He's had to come off in fact, here comes Duncan Watmore.

    Robert: Does N'Golo Kante allow the other Chelsea players to have the ball in training? He wins the ball every single time.  

    Bonkerz: Chelsea are at this moment top of the premiership long may that be the case.

  14. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 27 August 2016

    Everton 1-0 Stoke

    Stoke now the team to go within inches of goal as Marko Arnautovic wriggles and wrestles his way clear of a defender, he gets a shot in which is deflected up and over Maarten Stekelenburg - but it lands on the top of the crossbar!

    Mahrez has placed it and if you do that the 'keeper has to go the wrong way.

    It was a dolly mixture. 

    Fabianski was lying there waiting for it. It was a poor kick.

    Kasper Schmeichel has picked up a knock and the Leicester keeper can't continue. So it's a Premier League debut for Ron-Robert Zieler.

    GOAL - Watford 1-3 Arsenalpublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 27 August 2016

    Roberto Pereyra

    Hope? Maybe a glimmer.

    Roberto Pereyra - signed from Juventus - scores on his debut with an opportunistic strike, seizing on the loose ball ten yards out after Etienne Capoue's first effort was blocked by Laurent Koscielny.

    Watford need to ramp up the pressure and volume to get Arsenal 'wobblin'.

  18. WHAT A MISS!published at 16:14 British Summer Time 27 August 2016

    Chelsea 2-0 Burnley

    Eden Hazard looks back in the groove this season. The Belgian hits a superb hip-high volley from the edge of the box.

    Tom Heaton parries and John Terry contrives to balloon over the top from all of four yards.
