Manchester City almost score inside 25 seconds! Leroy Sane screams down the left, fires in a low cross which Asmir Begovic just about gathers at the second attempt before Raheem Sterling can tap in.

Here we go then. All five games are just getting under way. What will the bottom three look like in around two hours time?

This so-called protest hasn't really caught on. St James' looks as full as you'd expect as the teams emerge.

Huddersfield were outstanding against Wolves, especially the way their midfield three gelled together. It’s about consistency for Huddersfield, but they have a great chance against Brighton.

When you look at how Rafa sets teams up tactically, he has a fantastic squad and they could finish much higher up the Premier League – but they lack a goalscorer.

Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, the son of Leicester owner Vichai who recently died in a helicopter crash outside the stadium, is present again at the King Power.

He has taken his seat after shaking hands with several supporters in the stands.

Rather you than me, Eilidh...

Newcastle United

St James' looks to be filling up slowly enough on this particularly wet and windy afternoon.

Newcastle fans have called for fans to not take their seats until the 11th minute in protest against "11 wasted years of Mike Ashley’s tenure as chairman at the club."

Their words, not ours.

Is that going to have any real effect?

Both Christian Benteke and Alexander Sorloth must not be producing the goods needed even in training. The team needs goals and is struggling to score. They are OK defensively but they just can't score. It's a different kind of pressure they are expected to win today and they have to get something against a team that have been poor.

Bruno Genesio may have given all coaches a small ray of hope in midweek, with Lyon's tactics helping them produce another impressive Champions League display against Manchester City.

It's only a tiny 'might' though, and Eddie Howe won't be feeling any more comfortable ahead of City's return to domestic action.

The Bournemouth boss has to prepare to face a team that has scored 40 goals already after 13 games and conceded only once from open play. Ominously, the champions now have no significant European distractions until February.

Despite three successive defeats, Bournemouth have had a very encouraging campaign so far and their season won't be defined by the ultimate Premier League test.

I would not worry too much under Sean Dyche, because on the training ground he’s still getting something from them. You can see when players lose confidence in a manager, but I’m not seeing that.

Full-on Fantasy Football woe with that City XI.

The only good news for me is that Matt Doherty will rise from the bench and bring seven points with him.

Huddersfield have leapt from the bottom of the table to 15th on the back of an unbeaten three-game run which has brought seven invaluable points.

However, they are still just two points above the relegation zone and must know that survival - if it comes - will be by the skin of their teeth based on points taken in games like this.

How David Wagner must wish he had a finisher like Glenn Murray. Whilst no Huddersfield striker has scored so far this season (think about that for a moment!), Murray is the joint top-scoring Englishman in the league - notching 50% of his club's goals so far this campaign.

No wonder he was offered - and signed - a new contract recently.

Bournemouth have got a chance, their record away is not great but they have started the season well. But this is a bonus game for them – when you play a game you’re not expected to win, sometimes it goes well.

Akram Hussain: That's the problem with Pep he's so selfish he doesn't think of the rest of us wannabes. On the plus side every one of the top 10 in my fantasy league have Aguerro!

Only Fulham (0) have kept fewer clean sheets than West Ham in the Premier League this season (1).

One of the few things this all-conquering Manchester City side are missing is a homegrown superstar - there are high hopes that Phil Foden, aka ‘The Stockport Iniesta’, can fill that role of course.

But today City fans might get a chance to see ’the Warrington Modric’, aka Bournemouth’s David Brooks, who is the local lad that got away (The Modric comparison is not mine, by the way - it's courtesy of an excitable Cherries fan)., external

The 21-year-old Wales winger, who has been one of the brightest young talents in the Premier League so far this season, spent 10 years on City's books before being released aged 16.

It seems it is not just young City players who struggle to get a game at the Etihad, though. Brooks has started 12 out of 13 league games for the Cherries this season but, like Foden for City, only makes the Bournemouth bench today.
