Are Watford really going to wear red at Swansea? Surely their yellow doesn't clash with the Swans' white?

Swansea make six changes from their midweek win over Reading in the Carabao Cup.

Wilfried Bony retains his place to make his first Premier League start since rejoining the club, while Jordan Ayew and Federico Fernandez are among those returning to the starting XI. Bayern Munich loanee Renato Sanches has to settle for a place on the bench.

Watford make two changes from their 6-0 defeat by Manchester City. Kiko Femenia is back after concussion and replaces Daryl Janmaat in defence while Etienne Capoue comes in for Nathaniel Chalobah, who misses out with a knee injury.

Does that mean Ronald Koeman has abandoned the wing-backs? By choice or necessity?

Ronald Koeman reacts to Everton's 4-0 defeat at Manchester United last weekend by making three changes to that side.

Forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin makes his first Premier League start since 21 August, while midfielder Davy Klaassen and Mason Holgate are also recalled.

Wayne Rooney makes the 400th Premier League start of his career.

Everton: Pickford, Martina, Holgate, Williams, Baines, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Calvert-Lewin, Klaassen, Sigurdsson, Rooney.

Bournemouth also make three changes to the side that beat Brighton 2-1 in the Premier League eight days ago,

Winger Junior Stanislas makes his first Premier League appearance of the season, while Dan Gosling and former Liverpool player Jordon Ibe also start.

Bournemouth: Begovic, A Smith, Francis, Ake, Daniels, Gosling, Surman, Ibe, King, Stanislas, Defoe.

Burnley make one change to the team that drew 1-1 at Anfield last weekend, with Jeff Hendrick recalled after a thigh injury; he replaces Johann Berg Gudmundsson.

Nick Pope keeps his place in goal, with new goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard not in the Clarets squad.

Jon Walters remains out with a knee problem, while ex-Huddersfield striker Nahki Wells is not yet available following ankle surgery.

Huddersfield make one change to the side that drew 1-1 against Leicester, with Jonathan Hogg in for Danny Williams who has been ruled out with a fractured foot.

Steve Mounie, Collin Quaner, Kasey Palmer and Jon Gorenc Stankovic are also out, but Rajiv van La Parra makes the bench.

Southampton are in the top 10 and they have some very good players. They have two good strikers as well.

I think they have too much about them that they won't struggle and be in the bottom six. The club has been run very well.

Southampton field the same side that played in the 1-0 win at Crystal Palace, meaning centre-half Virgil van Dijk is again only on the bench. Charlie Austin and Manolo Gabbiadini are also substitutes for a side that has only scored four Premier League goals this season.

Southampton: Forster, Bertrand, Hoedt, Lemina, Yoshida, Soares, Davis, Romeu, Romeu, Redmond, Long. Subs: McCarthy, Austin, Ward-Prowse, Van Dijk, Johberg, Gabbiadini, Pied.

Manchester United are unchanged from their last Premier League match last Sunday. It means Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford will have started three games in a week after also playing in the Carabao Cup win over Burton on Wednesday.

Daley Blind replaces Matteo Darmian on the bench, but there is no place in the squad for Luke Shaw against his former side.

Manchester United: De Gea, Young, Bailly, Jones, Valencia, Matic, Fellaini, Mkhitaryan, Mata, Rashford, Lukaku. Subs: Romero, Martial, Smalling, Lingard, Carrick, Herrera, Blind.

Them's the headlines. Full, game-by-game, team news coming right now. We'll start at St Mary's...

Fantasy football managers (myself included) groan as Gabriel Jesus is left on the Manchester City bench for the visit of Crystal Palace.

As we thought, an injured Michael Keane is missing from Everton's squad for the game against Palace.

Wilfried Bony does make his first league start in his second spell at Swansea.

Team news in two minutes. Stand by your beds.

Wilfried Bony stares out from the front of the Swansea programme today and he is set to earn a first Premier League start since his return to the club from Manchester City this summer.

Bony 1.0 scored 25 goals for Swansea in the 2013-14 season and Paul Clement needs that player back with Swansea having failed to score in four of their five Premier League games so far this season.

Watford come here off the back of their 6-0 mauling at the hands of Manchester City last weekend but they were very impressive when I saw them win 2-0 at Southampton and I wouldn't expect any sort of hangover today because they'll know that City are going to do that sort of thing to quite a few teams this season.

Let me know what you're up to today, where you are and how you're following the football. If you're having a helluva journey, maybe send me a picture. Doncaster to Plymouth looks a toughie and I'm also hearing that Manchester United fans might be having trouble getting to Southampton.

Speaking of radio, our friends at BBC Radio Merseyside have tweeted that Everton defender Michael Keane could miss the visit of Bournemouth because of an injury. Confirmation either way will be coming from 14:00.

And, if that wasn't enough, you can follow all of this in the company of BBC Radio 5 live, which you can listen to on the wireless, or at the top of this page.

The fastest goals service in town will be based at St Mary's for Southampton-Manchester United, but will be on the spot for every other iota of Premier League action up and down the land.

We'll be right across all of those games (team news will be dropping soon), perhaps mixing with a touch of reaction from West Ham's game against Spurs (Spurs are 2-0 up) and maybe having a tiny peek ahead to Liverpool's game at Leicester later on.

The bottom line is this. If Jose Mourinho buys a meat and potato pie, you'll know about it. If Roy Hodgson slaps nut on Pep Guardiola, you'll know about it. If Eden Hazard retires from football to become a nun, you'll know about it.

You get the idea.

OK, so things might not get that bad, unless you're a Crystal Palace fan - all the best today. The bottom side's trip to free-scoring Manchester City is one of six 15:00 kick-offs, which look something like this...

Burnley v Huddersfield

Everton v Bournemouth

Manchester City v Crystal Palace

Southampton v Manchester United

Stoke City v Chelsea

Swansea v Watford

That's until full-time, when you throw your phone against the wall, kick the cat, denounce your team and instead don some sequins ready for the Strictly opening night.

But today is the first day of the rest of your season. Optimism, belief, anticipation. Just think of the possibilities.

Just remember. Things could always be much, much worse.
