One word for this game - dull. It's been scrappy and light on chances. In fact there's only been one on target so far and that was for Hull. Liverpool are seeing plenty of the ball but run out of ideas when in the final third.

There have only been three shots on goal at St Mary's and two of them have gone in. Not a great deal of action since the goal. West Ham, by the way, are playing in white, because that is a much better contrast to Saints' red and white than their usual claret and blue...

This has been a very physical encounter - boots flying everywhere. Yohan Cabaye got caught by Seb Larsson inside the first minute and hasn't looked right since. Sam Allardyce notices this and brings off the Frenchman. Joe Ledley replaces him.

It's all Watford against 10-man Burnley and the Hornets are denied a peach of a goal by Tom Heaton. M'Baye Niang and Troy Deeney exchange passes before the former's fierce drive is tipped over by Heaton.

There are a fair few empty seats at The Hawthorns, a ground that is in shade bar one corner that is bathed in sunshine. West Brom have had most of the early play but Stoke, in blue, now have the Baggies pressed back. On the touchline, Tony Pulis is pacing like a father in the delivery room.

Plenty of big games across Europe today.

Liverpool are just starting to assert themselves now. They are having the majority of the possession and have had a couple of pops at goal - Philippe Coutinho seeing an effort blocked at close range before James Milner's drive from distance is scooped up by Eldin Jakupovic. 

It seems the Premier League is taking up all of today's allotment of goals - the Championship is still waiting for its opening strike...

Billy Sharp's scored after two minutes to give Sheffield United an early lead against Wimbledon in League One, while Scunthorpe are 1-0 up at Southend.

And in League Two, Blackpool and Exeter are making the early running, one goal to the good against Colchester and Crewe respectievly.

Crystal Palace full-back Patrick van Aanholt seems desperate to impress against his former side, but he's not doing a very good job of that. He's skied one effort well over and miscontrolled the ball a couple of times. He's like an over eager terrier.

Bournemouth have steadied the ship after a start that saw them barely get a kick. They get some joy down the left, but an Everton defence that has been pretty miserly of late holds firm. Decent game.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp wants his side to become streetwise after the Reds have had their soft underbelly exposed on a number of occasions in recent weeks. Well, it has been a scrappy game. Very physical and we've just had a pause in play after Omar Elabdellaoui came off worse following a tangle with a Liverpool player. He has to go off briefly but is now back on with some tissue paper sticking out of one of his nostrils. 

We're being told that the Romelu Lukaku goal has been 'downgraded' to 30 seconds. Now, you could say what's two seconds between friends, but that now pegs it back to equal fastest in the top flight this season, joining Pedro's effort for Chelsea against Manchester United.

Ouch.

Burnley's Jeff Hendrick gets his marching orders after flying in two footed on Jose Holebas. Straight red and Burnley have it all to do if they are to get something from this game.
