Alex Pritchard takes the ball on his chest a la Marouane Fellaini and goes down in the box under David Luiz's challenge, but referee Chris Kavanagh waves away the appeals.

The ball breaks loose to Philip Billing, who fires over from 30 yards.

Chelsea are keeping the ball well. Alvaro Morata is finding space and Pedro is carrying the ball in dangerous areas. Difficult start for Huddersfield. The Chelsea bench is incredible with the likes of Eden Hazard waiting on the sidelines.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has given a surprise start to Ross Barkley today and the ex-Everton man bursts forward towards the edge of the box but is dispossessed by a brilliant Aaron Mooy recovery challenge.

Wilfred Zaha looks fabulous and a danger, especially when Patrick van Aanholt joins the attack, but Crystal Palace are spending the vast majority of their time defending.

What a game. Brilliant start with chances at both ends. Fulham are really impressive with the way they are moving the ball. Tom Cairney has developed into a top-class footballer.

Neil Warnock watches on sternly from the touchline at Bournemouth like a haunted owl. His side are doing OK so far, to be fair. Not really tested Asmir Begovic but they're giving as good as they get across the pitch.

Few would have Dale Stephens as first scorer at Watford but the Brighton defensive midfielder has just gone very close with a hooked volley past the far post.

Ah, we have a save.

Huddersfield work the ball well to Alex Pritchard 25 yards out, but the shot is straight at Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

It was easy, but the Spaniard dealt with it cleanly, keeping his concentration.

We've seen some goalkeepers parrying those into their own net.

Hosts Fulham get a free-kick in a good position outside the box and Aleksandar Mitrovic grabs the ball, but plonks his effort straight into the Palace wall.

Mat Ryan was one of the division's top keepers last season and he looks keen to repeat that assessment this campaign. The ball breaks for Troy Deeney in the Brighton box but the Seagulls stopper stays calm, steps forward and calmly pushes away the Watford striker's goalbound effort. Top stuff.

A slow start at the John Smith's Stadium, neither side really threatening.

Alvaro Morata had a chance when he was one-on-one with Ben Hamer, but the Spaniard dragged his shot wide.

He was offside anyway, but the Terriers supporters enjoyed the miss.

I saw David Brooks play a few times for Sheffield United last season. Bournemouth have purchased raw talent, but his potential is huge.

It speaks volumes that Eddie Howe has chosen to start Brooks today. They probably saw him as a bit of a project when they purchased him, but he's clearly impressed during pre-season.

Watford are giving the Brighton defence a minor examination early on. It takes a good, strong couple of blocks and a clearance to head off a couple of shots and a resulting corner.

Will Hughes looks up for this. He's pulling strings for the home side.

Femi: Bad vibe as a Chelsea fan for this game at Huddersfield with Morata leading the line.

Kevin: Cardiff already in 5th - vying for Europe!

The start from Fulham was breathtaking. They have calmed it down a bit. There was over-excitement from Fulham at the start, now they are passing it around and keeping possession. I think the Palace players are enjoying a bit of respite.

One way traffic at Craven Cottage.

New signing, if you can call him that, Aleksandar Mitrovic is proving to a handful for the Crystal Palace defenders.

He tees up an Andre Schurrle pass for himself but does not get a good connection on the strike and goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey can push the ball away,

From the resulting corner, Serbia international Mitrovic rises highest but plants his header wide.

Fulham are easy on the eye, playing some decent football.

Skipper Tom Cairney sweeps a nice pass into the feet of Ryan Sessegnon in the area, and ex-Chelsea man Andre Schurrle is inches away from getting on the end of the cutback.

Oh, close! Cardiff have started well but they almost gift Bournemouth an opener as a loose ball gives possession to Callum Wilson near the box. Bad idea. The forward works himself a yard but fires his low shot an inch or two wide.
