Adam: Calm down people, 3 years away, 1st home game, almost a brand new squad. Whole season ahead of us! #avfc

James Pollard: Stop all the clocks,cut off the telephone, prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Everton are winning early doors.

David Ljunggren: Joelinton appears to have all the footballing talent of a wardrobe - slow, clumsy, no acceleration, no positional strength and lackadaisical in defence. £40 million well spent I'd say...

Aston Villa finally start to find their feet a little.

Pressure from the home side sees John McGinn force a save from Aaron Ramsdale before Wesley sees a shot on the turn blocked.

Cherries keeper Ramsdale calms the visitors down by coming out to collect a cross.

NO GOAL! BURN-T!

Ol' Dan Burn was offside in the initial build-up.

Gutting for Trossard but the correct decision.

These Liverpool performances have carried on from pre-season. They look a bit leggy and vulnerable at times. There have been a couple of times where they should have got rid of the ball but they look a bit panicky. To be fair, they have been down to ten men. James Milner has just come back on the pitch after receiving treatment but it’s not a solid start for Liverpool.

We're back even. Liverpool skipper James Milner returns to the field with a bandage wrapped around his head after taking a whack earlier.

Milner's straight back into the thick of the action, heading away a dangerous ball into the away box.

So close to a response from the Hornets!!!

Jose Holebas swings in a corner that Craig Dawson, at the far stick, heads on to the woodwork, via the glove of Jordan Pickford.

This almost turned into a Jonathan Woodgate-style debut for Villa's Douglas Luiz on his first start.

The Brazilian, who gave away possession for Bournemouth's second, shanks an attempted clearance... and is relieved to see it go out for a corner and not nestle in the top corner.

Dale Stephens awakens the crowd with a 20-yard strike that Hammers stopper Lukasz Fabianski is forced to tip over the bar.

The Seagulls are just about on top here.

And Saints almost take advantage of their extra man! From a home corner, Maya Yoshida rises almost unopposed and forces Adrian into an instinctive save.

Liverpool are down to 10 men by the way. No, you've not missed a red card. James Milner is off receiving some treatment.

That early Dan Burn headed chance for Brighton is still the one and only effort on goal so far at the Amex.

Not a thriller so far - and that's being kind.

Southampton might have got a bit of pasting at Turf Moor last week, but they look much sharper today.

Another half chance for the hosts following a corner, Che Adams lurking at the far post to drill across the face of goal. Jannik Vestergaard and Maya Yoshida both stick out legs but need a bigger shoe size or two to reach it.

Party well and truly pooped. Villa Park is sat in stunned silence, apart from the pocket of jubilant Bournemouth fans.

Slovakian keeper Martin Dubravka comes to Newcastle's rescue again by blocking Teemu Pukki's shot from eight yards out at the far post.

Should the Finn have squared the ball?

Villa are playing out from the back. Don’t take too many risks. In the Championship you might get away with that but not in the Premier League. Bournemouth are a brilliant side to watch, they have exploited the weaknesses in Villa and they are looking really good.

Meanwhile, we have another chance...
