    Burnley boss Sean Dyche was on Sportsweek on BBC Radio 5 live earlier today: "Tottenham's form at Wembley is of no interest or consequence to me, in the sense that their record is what it is. Today is a big game for us, an important game against a very good side and manager.

    "If there is anything in this so-called Wembley Hoodoo then great, it helps us and we'll gladly take it. But it doesn't matter what stadium we go to, we know we have to be right on top of our game. We need to focus on that, not whether it's a huge stadium, the national stadium, or any other stadium.

    "It's about us delivering a strong performance to get us what we want."

    Now if you're a regular at Anfield you'll know in the Kop there's a huge flag in honour and tribute to Owen McVeigh who lost his battle with leukaemia in December 2015.

    The Liverpool squad will wear this special t-shirt in tribute of the 11-year-old during the warm-up and help raise awareness of the The Owen McVeigh Foundation.

    Jordan Henderson in his programme notes says: "The flags on the Kop are an incredible sight and there is always one that catches my eye. It features a dad holding his son's hand and carries the words: 'It's off to the match we go'.

    "I can say without hesitation that all of the players know what the banner stands for and who it represents."

    Roberto Firmino

    Liverpool's home and away tally against Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United was better last season than any other side.

    Forward Roberto Firmino has scored three goals in four Premier League games against the Gunners.

    West Brom 1-1 Stoke

    Stoke striker Peter Crouch: "It's a decent point, coming away to West Brom is always tough so it's a good result. It wasn't my finest goals we will take them every day of the week.

    "At home you want to get off to a good start, we beat Arsenal and drew here so that's a good start to the season."

    West Brom forward Jay Rodriguez: "I have always tried to get on the end of crosses. Luckily I judged the bounce and it went in today.

    "The goal means everything. All I want to do is play after time out and I am enjoying be part of it. We have made a positive start. Perhaps we could have held on for the win, but it's a good point."

    Everton have so far to go to get anywhere near as good as Chelsea. The be honest, if the Toffees don't acquire a centre forward then there will be many more tough days on the office like today.

    With no attacking threat from the visitors there were no doubts in Chelsea's mind. They cruised to the win.

    Liverpool fan with back tattoo

    It was too hot for Liverpool supporter Matthew when he arrived at the ground, and he took the chance to show me his tattoo. He's going for 3-1 Liverpool.

    "There's always goals in this fixture. We've had a good start - a draw and two wins and Champions League qualification so there's a lot of confidence," he said.

    "I'm nervous about Alexis Sanchez, though. He's a class act but hopefully we will keep Philippe Coutinho and if that happens will probably be near enough to win the Premier League. Nothing but positive."

    Wayne Rooney goes straight over to speak to the referee at the final whistle.

    Jon Moss nods in a manner that suggests he is not really interested in what the Everton man is saying.

    In one ear, out of the other.

    Can you hear that?

    It's the sound of Chelsea obituaries being ripped up.

    The champions are very much alive and well, the Blues have despatched Everton with ease today.

    That Burnley defeat on the opening day was merely an early season hiccup.

    West Brom winger James McLean is not best pleased when Anthony Taylor awards a free-kick for a tug at the back post.

    Willian has had a few pops at goal today, but has not been able to find a way past Jordan Pickford.

    Into three minutes of injury-time.

    Finally, Thibaut Courtois is called into action, it's only taken 89 minutes.

    Aaron Lennon, who came on a few minutes ago, has a shot blocked in the area by Antonio Rudiger.

    It is a brilliant stop by the German defender.

    In comes Idrissa Gueye to lash home a finish...but the big goalkeeper tips the strike over the crossbar.

    At least one Belgian keeper is seeing some Premier League action.

    Stoke are the side looking more likely to get a second goal at The Hawthorns.

    I spoke to Jurgen Klopp live on 5live sport about Simon Mignolet's absence from the Liverpool squad.

    The German boss said: "Simon is rested, that is all. He won the race and was really strong for us but we need the other two boys (Loris Karius and Danny Ward) also. For a goalkeeper it's a different intensity. He is in the stadium, we had no argument and I told him a rest makes sense."
