Chelsea are marching three points clear at the top of the table at the moment as the managers go through their half-time talks.
Ronald Koeman will wonder how on earth his Everton side aren't ahead.

Mesut Ozil
You don't need to six foot when you time your run like that.
Mesut Ozil comes haring into the box and Alexis Sanchez - under too little pressure from Nordin Amrabat - picks out the German to plant home a simple header.
Game over. Surely.

GREAT SAVE!published at 15:45 British Summer Time 27 August 2016
Leicester 1-0 Swansea
Lukasz Fabianski is under-rated in my book and the Swansea keeper has just made another belting save, flying to his right at full stretch to tip away a Shinji Okazaki piledriver. The champions looking for a second.

Leicester 1-0 Swansea
The rain is sheeting down at Leicester. Torrential stuff. Wayne Routledge continues to pose a threat down the Swansea right but nobody can meet his latest cross.

Willian
Simple, but effective.
Willian stands up Matt Lowton, darts outside him and buries a low shot in the bottom corner of Tom Heaton's goal.
Burnley are lucky to be just the two adrift.

Everton 0-0 Stoke
Not sure how Everton aren't winning this game. Mason Holgate gets clear on the right to drive in a brilliant cross, crying out for a tap-in but Ross Barkley is inches away on the slide.
Gazza, 1996.

Alexis Sanchez
If that is deliberate, it is a delicious touch from Alexis Sanchez.
The Chilean meets Theo Walcott's low cross with a cushioned loft back across Heurelho Gomes.
Younes Kaboul hacks the ball clear before it hits the net. But, crucially, not before it crosses the line.

Chelsea 1-0 Burnley
Chelsea have not just been knocking, they have been taking a battering ram to the Burnley door in this first half.
Oscar tees up Diego Costa with a cut-back from the byeline, but the Spain striker's first-time shot is too close to Tom Heaton.
The Burnley keeper did well there, clinging on to the ball with a crowd scene in front of him.

Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth
A gaping great opening for Bournemouth as Josh King plays in Callum Wilson, but Palace goalkeeper Steve Mandanda spreads himself to cut down the angles and smothers the striker's attempt to tickle over the top.
A let-off for Palace.

Southampton 0-0 Sunderland
Sunderland had a better spell after a shaky start but they haven't been able to hurt Southampton. Can David Moyes' side score enough goals to survive this year?

I can't believe defenders are still falling for it. We saw it week in, week out last season.

As we reach the half-hour mark in the fourth tier, this is what has happened so far:
- After Nicky Featherstone gave Hartlepool an early lead against Newport County, they had Toto Nsiala sent off for handball while Sean Rigg scored from the following free-kick. To add insult to injury, Jon Parkin has now volleyed the Exiles into a 2-1 lead at Victoria Park.
- Accrington and Carlisle lead Morecambe and Barnet by one goal to nil while Cheltenham are 2-0 up against Crewe courtesy of Robert Dickie and James Dayton's goals.
- Doncaster Rovers scored the first goal in the EFL this afternoon as Andy Williams' first-minute close-range finish put them in front against Yeovil Town.
- Omar Bogle has given Grimsby Town the lead against Stevenage.

Everton 0-0 Stoke
You sense that Kevin Mirallas and Roberto Martinez didn't particularly enjoy one another's work but the Belgian looks a new man this season. He links up well with Romelu Lukaku but sees his stinging shot from 20 yards turned away.
Everton are really good to watch so far. But they are not ahead.
