    Henry Oakland: Klopp is starting to get the best out of Adam Lallana 

    Emmanuel Ahaneku: De Bruyne's an amazing player. But nowhere near Messi, CR7 et al. I hope Pep's ode doesn't jinx him. Sterling's been sterling.

    Idrissa Gueye has been brilliant all season. He seems to have a really good understanding with Gareth Barry.

    When you consider some of the money that has been spent in the summer from a lot of clubs, £7m this guy was from Villa. He looks, at the minute, a bargain. 

    I think he ran the game. Whether you want him to sit in front of the back four and defend or go in for crunching tackles, he reads the game well. He is quick, strong and clever.

    It was an all-round very good display from him. I thought he was excellent and has been for the whole of the season.

    Everton extended their winning run to four games in the Premier League with a victory over Middlesbrough that sent them second in the table.

    A Maarten Stekelenburg own goal, under pressure from Alvaro Negredo, put the visitors ahead at Goodison Park.

    But Gareth Barry levelled on his 600th top-flight appearance following a Kevin Mirallas corner three minutes later.

    Seamus Coleman's smart finish and a deft Romelu Lukaku touch then wrapped up the points for Everton by half-time.

    I know they have injuries and two new full-backs but this is not a problem that has happened this season. It started at the end of last season. 

    They have conceded at least two goals in 12 of their last 15 Premier League games. "It was a horror show, so bad it was like watching an under-10s team. It was laughable and extraordinary. 

    I have not seen defending like that for a long time. It was so bad it was unbelievable.

    Slaven Bilic says West Ham are "weak" and "have a problem" after the 4-2 defeat by West Brom, their fourth Premier League loss of the season.

    The Hammers were 4-0 down after an hour, the second successive game in which they have conceded four goals.

    It is their worst start to a Premier league season since they were relegated in 2010-11, despite spending over £50m in the transfer window.

    "We have a problem we have to solve and that starts with me," said Bilic.

    "I am the manager and have to do everything to turn this around and solve that problem."

    West Ham are now 17th in the table with four defeats in five games, having conceded 13 goals.

    West Ham's poor start to the season continued as they suffered a fourth league defeat, going down 4-2 to West Brom at the Hawthorns.

    In their first game under new Chinese ownership, Albion raced into a 4-0 lead after an hour with record-signing Nacer Chadli scoring twice.

    But West Ham then scored two in four minutes to halve the deficit.

    Michail Antonio netted his fifth league goal of the season but the Baggies held on for a first home win since March.

    A scintillating Manchester City made it eight wins out of eight in all competitions this season as they easily beat Bournemouth at Etihad Stadium.

    Kevin de Bruyne put the league leaders in front with a low free-kick under the wall after a Jack Wilshere foul.

    City were dominant and two clinical counter-attacks led to Kelechi Iheanacho and Raheem Sterling tap-ins.

    Ilkay Gundogan calmly slotted in a fourth but City had Nolito sent off late on for an attempted head-butt.

    Leicester City's record signing Islam Slimani marked his Premier League debut with two goals as the champions outclassed Burnley.

    The striker opened the scoring in the last minute of the first half with a header from Christian Fuchs' free-kick.

    He made it two just after the restart with another header and Ben Mee's own goal completed the scoring.

    The win capped off a great week for the Foxes, who also won 3-0 at Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday.

    Alexis Sanchez scored twice and missed a penalty as Arsenal comfortably beat 10-man Hull City in the Premier League.

    Sanchez put Arsenal ahead when he got a touch on Alex Iwobi's shot, but failed from the spot after Jake Livermore handled and was sent off.

    Theo Walcott added a second after the break before Robert Snodgrass pulled one back for the hosts with a penalty.

    Sanchez stroked a third into an empty net before Granit Xhaka's spectacular shot rounded off the scoring.

    Watford v Manchester United (12:00 BST)

    Manchester United's team bus has just arrived at Vicarage Road. And kudos to the driver - he's brought his A game. Some excellent reversing in a tight spot. Could have been a bashed wing-mirror job, but no.

    Jose Mourinho is first down the steps, grinning from ear to ear. Then he's followed by his players who, to a man, are blasting out the tunes through their chunky headphones.

    Kevin de Bruyne was good last season. He is very, very good this season. I think he has gone to another level. 

    His performances have been nothing short of spectacular. Without the ball he is very good, with the ball he is just superb. 

    He starts a lot of moves off and is so clever. He is so comfortable, so in control. He sees a picture before everyone else, he is a second or two ahead of everyone on that pitch.

  19. 'De Bruyne on table beside Messi'published at 10:27

    Man City 4-0 Bournemouth

    Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola reckons Kevin de Bruyne is only second to Lionel Messi on current form. And it was hard to argue with him after this game.

    The Belgium international opened the scoring with a clever low free-kick and was involved in all of City's goals.

    The victory means Guardiola's side have won all eight of their games in all competitions so far this season as they remain top of the Premier League.

    "Messi is on a table on his own. No-one else is allowed. But the table beside, Kevin can sit there," said Guardiola.
