Stoke v Sunderland (15:00 BST)

Stoke have had their troubles hitting the target this season and winger Marko Arnautovic has just hammered a shot into the crowd, hitting an unsuspecting supporter in the face. Not intentionally I hasten to add.

The Austrian entered the crowd Pat Cash style to check on her and it looked like he gave her his top. A busted nose for a t-shirt? Deal.

A divisional-high 71.4% of Hull's goals have come from dead-ball situations (5/7), including a joint-league-high three goals via corners.

No excuses for Bournemouth then. 

Grim stats everywhere you look for this game. How about this one - The Potters have been leading for a Premier League-low 17 minutes this season.

Seventeen minutes ahead! How the Stoke fans enjoyed that golden time though.

Ninety minutes from the big time. Well, not the big time exactly, but pretty big.

Sheffield United. Bolton. Big enough?

For teams in the 32 FA Cup fourth qualifying round ties this weekend it's a win away from a potential game against a team from Leagues One and Two in the FA Cup first round, and a potential televised game too.

Some fine names out there today too. Beaconsfield SYCOB, for instance, or Leiston. 

Take a look at all of the fixtures here. There may be one just down the road from you. 

The big question for Arsenal was would Alexis Sanchez start after flying around 15,000 miles to represent Chile in two matches during international week? Question answered. 

Petr Cech makes his 50th Arsenal appearance.

Arsenal XI: Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Xhaka, Cazorla; Walcott, Ozil, Iwobi; Sanchez

Bob Bradley makes three changes to the Swansea side which lost to Liverpool. Neil Taylor, a player who lost his temper when taken off by ex-boss Francesco Guidolin, makes just his third start of the season. Elsewhere, Modou Barrow and Federico Fernandez come in.

Lukasz Fabianski starts in goal against his former employers.

Swansea XI: Fabianski; Naughton, Fernandez, Amat, Taylor; Cork, Britton, Fer; Barrow, Sigurdsson, Routledge

Tottenham make two changes to the team which beat Manchester City in their last Premier League outing. Premier League player of the month Son Heung-min starts on the bench, with Vincent Janssen taking his place. Wales international Ben Davies also comes in for Danny Rose.

Final Score

Final Score is under way now, you can watch on the BBC red button or online - just press play at the top of this page. 

The 'modern game' has already got rid of the small, mobile striker like Michael Owen, are full-backs next?

If they're not being turned into centre-backs like Aleksandar Kolarov, they are being left out altogether with attackers like Victor Moses or Leroy Sane deployed at wing-back.

Fascinating to see exactly how Manchester City line-up today. 

Stoke are the only side this season yet to see any of their players provide an assist in the Premier League.

This season, Manchester City are running over 7kms more per Premier League game on average (114.8km per game in 16-17 compared to 107.2 in 15-16).

Not Yaya's game...

Tottenham certainly issued a significant statement in their comfortable victory against Manchester City two weeks ago, a result which left them as the only unbeaten side in the Premier League.

The manner in which they outplayed the seemingly unstoppable league leaders had the dual effect of not only reassuring the rest of the division that Pep Guardiola's team are not invincible after all, but equally re-affirming Spurs' own credentials as genuine title contenders.

Having not lost at The Hawthorns on their previous six visits, it would be a major surprise if they did this time around, albeit that the Baggies hit four goals in a home game for the first time in two years when they last played in front of their own fans.

A comfortable win for Chelsea over the reigning champions. Leicester never got going at all. 

Sergio Aguero was involved in two games for Argentina during the break, and he was nursing a knock after the first one, so perhaps that explains his presence on the bench today. We shall find out more later on no doubt.

Got an opinion on the teams this afternoon? Just delighted to see the Premier League back?

I'll whisper it very quietly when I'm in the North East on Sunday - at Middlesbrough for 5 live - but, however disappointing, I'm not surprised seeing Sunderland in the nether regions of the table.

But I'm shaken by the state Stoke are in. I thought the progress they had made under Mark Hughes, his new signings and the change in the style of play all pointed to a regular position in the top half. Maybe not.

These two sides have conceded more goals than most, but an effort to change that might mean we'll see very few in this game.

Stoke make one change with defender Phil Bardsley coming into the starting XI, replacing injured full-back Glen Johnson. Goal machine Joe Allen is fit after picking up an injury playing for Wales.

Stoke XI: Grant; Bardsley, Martins Indi, Shawcross, Pieters; Cameron, Whelan; Arnautovic, Allen, Shaqiri; Bony

Sunderland make three changes from the side that drew 1-1 at West Brom.

Patrick van Aanholt, Jack Rodwell and Papy Djilobodji come in for Jason Denayer, Jan Kirchhoff and Lamine Kone.

Sunderland XI: Pickford; Manquillo, O'Shea, Djilobodji, Van Aanholt; Rodwell, Ndong, McNair; Watmore, Defoe, Khazri

Mauricio Pochettino is a very calm manager under pressure. He is Mr Cool. He never gets flustered and I think that's filtered down to his players. They have beaten arguably the best team in the Premier League in Manchester City and now the question is can they kick on? Can they kick on? Is the squad strong enough?

Bournemouth remain unchanged for their home fixture against Hull City, with boss Eddie Howe naming the same side that faced Everton and Watford in their previous two outings.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc, Smith, Francis, Cook, Daniels, Stanislas, Surman, Arter, Wilshere, Ibe, Wilson.

Mike Phelan makes four changes to the Hull City side beaten by Chelsea last time out, as Ahmed Elmohamady returns from suspension and Shaun Maloney, Will Keane and Harry Maguire make the starting XI.

Hull City XI: Marshall, Elmohamady, Maguire, Davies, Robertson, Mason, Livermore, Clucas, Snodgrass, Keane, Maloney.

BBC Sport at the Etihad Stadium

An interesting Manchester City line-up at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon with no obvious right-back as Pablo Zabaleta is on the bench and Bacary Sagna is injured.

With the personnel he has named, the two obvious solutions are to play Fernandinho in the full-back slot and Ilkay Gundogan as the holding midfielder, or go with a three-man defence, allowing Fernandinho to go into a more usual position.
