An early test for Sunderland's young goalkeeper, a teasing cross, he comes for it - and Jordan Pickford is smashed by Charlie Austin!

He drops the ball but the whistle has gone. That sort of challenge was outlawed in about 1957.

You know when groundsmen mow a pretty pattern into the pitch? Leicester were particularly good at it last season.

Well the staff at Southampton appear to have started with a big V down the middle, and then just called it a day. Not sure what they were going for...

A reminder that Shay Given is starting in the Premier League, and Joe Hart isn't. 

Big Sam is in the stands too. 

Roy Keane is in the stands at Goodison. Who is he keeping his eye on this afternoon?

The teams are in the tunnel.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino after his side's 1-1 draw with Liverpool: "It was a game that if you look at the stats it was 50 50. 

"Liverpool are a team who want to play and win titles and I think we are in the same way and it was a fair result."

On the game's controversial penalty decision: "It is important to trust in the referee, all of the decisions are very tough."

He added: "Now we have two weeks to wait (until after the international break) and then we will play a lot of games. It is important we try to work hard to be ready."

WET. Very, very wet.

Watford have had the fewest shots on target (3), fewest total shots (11) and lowest number of touches in the opposition box (20) so far in the 2016-17 Premier League.

Hard to explain what is going on here - men, dressed as old ladies, wearing/riding motorised shopping carts.

Sunderland have won just one of their 19 Premier League matches in the month of August since 2010-11 (W1 D9 L9).

Not a stat I would have guessed but Swansea winger Wayne Routledge has created more chances than any other player in the Premier League this season after two games (9).

Must be about time I took Lukaku out of my fantasy team. Or do I stick with him?

Romelu Lukaku has not scored or assisted a single goal in any of his last 10 Premier League appearances for Everton, a run stretching back to March.

In fact, this is Lukaku’s longest goal drought in his Premier League career (10 successive appearances).

Can he break the duck today?

Christian Benteke starts for Palace this afternoon. Is he the answer?

The Belgian striker scored on his Premier League home debut for both Aston Villa (September 2012) and Liverpool (August 2015), with the latter coming against the Cherries.

Chelsea have won the Premier League title in both of the previous seasons Burnley were in the division.

The early game in League One sees Swindon host Bristol Rovers in a South West derby with kick-off at 13:30 BST. That's 0-0 at the interval.

Scunthorpe start the day second and travel to sixth-placed Port Vale while third-placed Bradford host Oldham.

End to end, frantic, manic defending - but it ends with a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.

Lamine Kone, who has been involved in an ongoing transfer saga this summer, starts for Sunderland today.

Yannick Bolasie and Ashley Williams both start Premier League games for Everton for the first time, but right back Seamus Coleman misses out because of an ankle injury. Arouna Kone remains on the bench despite scoring twice in the 4-0 EFL Cup victory over Yeovil on Tuesday.

Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri is still not fit enough to play because of an ankle injury, with goalkeeper Jack Butland and defender Glen Johnson still also absent through injury. 

EFL goals may not have got Kone into Everton's starting line-up but they have got Peter Crouch into Stoke's. He plays in the Premier League for the first time this season after a hat-trick at Stevenage on Tuesday.
