We've been asking you which team will finish the weekend on top of the Premier League. The verdict? Manchester City, according to 57% of you.

Time for them to prove you right...

Boro striker Alvaro Negredo grabs his former team-mate Sergio Aguero in a bear hug as the teams stroll out of the tunnel. Maybe that's Aitor Karanka's cunning tactic to crock the City talisman before kick-off...

Bubbles in London, sunshine in Bournemouth, flags in Manchester. Across the country, the teams are lining-up. Nearly ready...

Chris Sutton and Dion Dublin are the guests on Final Score today, and they are ready and waiting to answer any questions you might have. Send them in on #bbcfootball, external and we'll make sure they find their way to the two former centre-backs/centre-forwards.

As the final Premier League weekend ahead of Remembrance Day, all of the teams playing today are paying tribute to those who have lost their lives fighting for their country.

There is a canvas poppy filling the centre-circle at Manchester City, while Bournemouth, West Ham and Burnley are welcoming a number of military veterans and current servicemen to their matches.

Plenty of poppies on show in the stands too.

It's all very polite at the London Stadium so far, spectators sitting quietly, waiting for the action to begin. One home fan has just taken a bite out of his pie, so big as to endanger his fingers. Here come the players...

Former Leicester and Man Utd forward on Final Score

I think Manchester City have gone to the next level. If they continue with this type of form they can blow everyone away.

Chris Sutton
Ex-Chelsea striker on Final Score

I think Manchester City can go far in the Champions League and I think they have the Premier League boxed off. They have had their blip, will get better under Pep Guardiola and it is ominous for everyone else.

Continuing with our dissection of the Premier League playlists (we should be working for BBC Music)... City have gone leftfield. Bulgarian female choir 'Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares' is now playing on the Etihad jukebox.

Maybe Martin Petrov is in the house. You know, as part of that City side which was spanked 8-1 at Boro a few years ago...

More from Sir Trevor Brooking, this time on the upcoming World Cup qualifier between England and Scotland: "I'd love to see Gareth Southgate get the England job. I know him well and I think he could do a good job.

"England v Scotland is so unpredictable, but England have got enough talent at their disposal. Hopefully they get the result."

In the Championship's early kick-off, Derby's revival since Steve McClaren took charge of the club for a second time continues to gather pace after a 3-2 victory at Wolves. 

The Rams claimed their third win in five games since McClaren was reappointed on 12 October with victory at Molineux to leapfrog their opponents in the table. 

Tom Ince scored twice for Derby - once from the penalty spot - while Darren Bent was also on target. Wolves, who are set to appoint Paul Lambert as manager, found the net through Helder Costa and Dave Edwards.

If the absence of Yaya Toure from Manchester City's squad to face Middlesbrough this afternoon was entirely predictable, despite the Ivorian's apology to manager Pep Guardiola on Friday morning, Raheem Sterling's omission was less so.

Sterling, it seems, has been rested for today's game.

It will be interesting to see if that affects whether Gareth Southgate picks him in the England squad for the forthcoming games against Scotland and Spain, which will be announced on Sunday evening.

The east Lancashire hills are sparkling in winter sunshine as they loom above the main stand at Turf Moor. It's the sort of Pennine view that could have been the inspiration for a Bronte-written scene or two.

Pretty nippy though. How many of the players will be donning the gloves this afternoon? I'm going for 11 - four from Burnley, seven for Palace. Not including keepers. Higher? Lower?

West Ham legend Sir Trevor Brooking has been speaking about the Hammers' current predicament on BBC Radio 5 live: "West Ham had a great year last year and the football was great to watch. This one was always going to be a tough season moving to a new stadium.

"They started slowly but have played better in the last three weeks. Stoke is a hard game today, and after the international break they have a tough run, so they could do with a win today."

I tell you what, West Ham's Adrian is a remarkably well turned-out goalkeeper. Tall and lean, hair quiffed to within an inch of its life. He looks less like a footballer and more like an extra from Mad Men.

Manchester is one place where any sightings of 'The Beast' will be warmly welcomed. Alvaro Negredo snaffled 23 goals as he helped City win the Premier League and League Cup in 2013-14 - and the smattering of home fans already inside the Etihad haven't forgotten. Decent ovation for the Boro boy as he warms up with a few lunges.

I've just seen some recorded pictures of the Bournemouth and Sunderland players arriving at the ground. An extraordinary number of them were wearing headphones. It's got to be for show, hasn't it? I mean, do they not talk to each other? Is there any other walk of life where headphones are so abundant? You don't see that many when you're walking around the supermarket, do you?

Final Score

Make-up complete, Final Score is on the air via the Red Button or the top of this page.

The sunshine isn't only limited to Sandbanks, the glorious city of Manchester is also getting bathed in some of the bright stuff. Kevin de Bruyne, who looks like a grown up version of Kevin from Home Alone, goes through his paces, while Jesus Navas desperately tries to figure out how to ping it a decent cross after getting to the line.

As a 90s indie kid it is great to hear some more classic Oasis pumping out of Premier League sound systems. But it's not at City. Burnley's music man is jumping on the Gallagher revival train. 

The Burnage boys are back in vogue with the hip kids 20 years after their peak. So there's one 'old' reference which our younger audience will get.
