  1. CLOSE!published at 16:44 British Summer Time 31 August 2019

    Newcastle United 1-1 Watford

    Chances at both ends. First a Newcastle corner ends up in an almighty scramble, Ben Foster in the end just about falling on the loose ball, before Tom Cleverley has a piledriver deflected just wide...

    West Ham 2-0 Norwich

    Another fine save by Tim Krul as he sticks out a foot to keep out Robert Snodgrass' low strike.

    Norwich are wide open at the back.

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Aston Villa

    Can Crystal Palace hold on to their slender lead? Aston Villa did have a spell of pressure as they just decided to go for it but they appear to have run out of steam now. Palace look comfortable with a few minutes to go.

  4. 'First touch was good and his second was even better'published at 16:41 British Summer Time 31 August 2019

    Man City 4-0 Brighton

    Bernardo Silva has just come on - his first touch was good and his second was even better. Unselfish from Aguero, laying it on a plate for Bernardo Silva, when he is on a hat-trick.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:40 British Summer Time 31 August 2019

    Chelsea 2-1 Sheffield United

    Tammy Abraham looks close to tears as he comes off, a standing ovation for the Chelsea striker. Been an emotional few weeks. It's a Chelsea debut for Billy Gilmour.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:40 British Summer Time 31 August 2019

    Leicester City 3-1 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth next to threaten as sub Dominic Solanke lets loose from range and it's well pushed clear by Kasper Schmeichel.

    James Maddison should have made it four on the break but his shot is really poor...

  7. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:38 British Summer Time 31 August 2019

    Chelsea 2-1 Sheffield United

    Sheffield United have done well again today - Enda Stevens is close to a leveller with a deflected shot which Kepa has to push away.

    Bernardo Silva (79 mins)

    What a way to make an introduction!

    Bernardo Silva, seconds after coming on as a substitute, takes his first touch of the ball to control a Sergio Aguero pass and then finds the bottom corner of the net with his second touch.

    Cruising.

    Josh Verrills: Hard to see either Norwich or Sheffield United avoiding relegation this season; both teams work hard but lack the quality required to do well in the PL.

    Newcastle United 1-1 Watford

    Got it all wrong! Watford sub Isaac Success is free at the far post but mistimes his jump, heading down and into the ground, and it's pushed clear by Dubravka.

    WHAT A SAVE!

    Stunning stuff from Tim Krul as he gets a strong hand to Manuel Lanzini's bullet header.

    Leicester City 3-1 Bournemouth

    Jefferson Lerma goes in to another strong tackle - pretty similar to the Tielemans one - and he's already on a booking.

    No action taken.

  13. Postpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 31 August 2019

    West Ham 2-0 Norwich

    Bit of pressure from Norwich as they look to set up a tense finale.

    Jamal Lewis clips a cross in from the right and it goes all the way through to Max Aarons but his shot is deflected behind for a corner.

  14. 'Guardiola getting frustrated'published at 16:36 British Summer Time 31 August 2019

    Man City 3-0 Brighton

    Michael Brown
    Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Even at 3-0 Pep Guardiola is getting frustrated when Man City are making little mistakes.

    Chelsea 2-1 Sheffield United

    Are Chelsea sensibly seeing out a win or have they ran out of gas again in the second half? The Blades send on Lys Mousset, not Billy Sharp, for a final push.

    Rashford and Abraham’s contrasting performances today have got me thinking about the modern vogue of young strikers doing their apprenticeship out on the wing. At times it feels like Rashford has gone backwards - like Walcott, Welbeck (even Martial) before him - by playing out wide. Watching Tammy Abraham (and I know it’s early days) it makes you wonder whether these young strikers are better served by instead dropping down and continuing to play in their actual positions.

    Kevin de Bruyne gets a standing ovation as he goes off - he has been very, very good today.

    Kevin de Bruyne's work is done for the day and what fine work it has been - a goal and an assist to his name. On comes Ilkay Gündogan.

  19. 'Burnley could cause Liverpool problems'published at 16:33 British Summer Time 31 August 2019

    Burnley v Liverpool (17:30 BST)

    Leon Osman
    Former Everton midfielder on Football Focus

    Burnley won’t be unnerved by having no possession against Liverpool. Burnley know what they are, they get the ball to the strikers early and score goals. They could cause Liverpool a few problems today.

    Jamie Vardy

    Clinical.

    Chris Mepham tries to overplay inside his own penalty area and the Bournemouth man is punished, Youri Tielemans is able to feed a ball back in for Jamie Vardy, who steers home left-footed.

    Tielemans could well have been off the pitch, of course.
