    Danny Welbeck gets his first Premier League start for Watford.

    It is one of four changes Quique Sanchez Flores has made to the side that got massacred 8-0 at Manchester City last week.

    Not surprisingly, Dimitri Foulquier, who was replaced after 33 minutes of his debut, by which time Watford were 5-0 down, is not involved.

    I spoke to a couple of fans outside. They were at the Etihad Stadium. "Embarrassing," was their collective view.

    A huge day for Christian Eriksen who started September by being linked with a move away from Tottenham before the European transfer deadline - and ends it by returning to Mauricio Pochettino's Premier League starting line-up.

    With his contract due to expire next summer, the Denmark midfielder continues to be linked with a move away and it will be interesting to observe his body language as he gets an opportunity to help put Tottenham's season back on track against Southampton.

    Chelsea v Brighton (15:00 BST)

    BBC Match of the Day commentator

    Frank Lampard has the worst record in his opening nine games of any Chelsea boss this century. Blues fans couldn't care less. Their support of the club legend is unwavering. They know he's been handcuffed by the transfer embargo. They're loving his trust in the kids. By May, half of the team could have come through the youth ranks. Their progress is one of the features of the season so far.

    The first home win of the season, against Grimsby, will also have relieved some anxieties.

    Brighton's Graham Potter has progressive beliefs. But isn't it dangerous to change the DNA of a side in such a short time if you haven't got enough quality players to implement it? Injuries dictated 11 debutants in the Carabao Cup. The squad looks too thin to have allowed experienced players to leave on loan.

    Their record away at the established top-six sides is awful - 12 defeats in 13! It'll take a major upset for that to change.

    Chelsea v Brighton (15:00 BST)

    The headline news for Chelsea is N'Golo Kante is out with a hamstring problem.

    Frank Lampard makes three changes from last weekend's 2-1 defeat by Liverpool. Ross Barkley, Pedro and Marcos Alonso come in.

    They are the only three in today's line-up to start against Grimsby in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

    Mateo Kovacic and the injured Emerson Palmieri are out from the Reds loss.

    Brighton are entirely changed from the extremely youthful side who lost to Aston Villa in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

    There is one change from last weekend's 0-0 draw with Newcastle. Davy Propper misses out for the first time in the league this season, with Yves Bissouma taking his place.

    BrightonImage source, .

    Chelsea: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Tomori, Alonso, Jorginho, Barkley, Willian, Pedro, Mount, Abraham. Subs: Caballero, Kovacic, Hudson-Odoi, Pulisic, Batshuayi, James, Guehi.

    Brighton: Ryan, Webster, Dunk, Burn, Montoya, Bissouma, Stephens, Alzate, Gross, Maupay, Mooy. Subs: Bong, Jahanbakhsh, Murray, Schelotto, Button, Baluta, Connolly.

  7. 'It could be a really important three points'published at 14:29 British Summer Time 28 September 2019

    Sheffield United 0-1 Liverpool

    Liverpool goalscorer Georginio Wijnaldum on BT Sport: "We didn’t start the game well. In the first half we slowed the game down too much and that’s why they could stop us.

    "It was not the best game we had but we won. A few years ago we would not have been able to win these games.

    "It could be a really important three points. It’s really good to keep collecting the points."

    Liverpool have now won at 56 different stadiums in the Premier League, more than any other side (Man Utd and Spurs 52).

    So yeah, that's a real stat.

    Sheffield United 0-1 Liverpool

    Liverpool weren't great today, and I've seen them getting some stick online. But to view it from a different perspective, they won while not playing well.

    I've heard it said that this is what successful sides do.

    They've now won 16 Premier League games on the bounce. They've probably earned the right to have an off day. Especially if they emerged unscathed from it.

    Bob Moss: Awful performance, lucky goal, 3 points, sums up Liverpool's season so far.

    Nicolas: Robbo needs competition for his place. Has been phenomenal but has to have more concerns about his starting place.

    Liverpool take the points and keep their 100% record alive, thanks to a big slice of luck.

    But Sheffield United take huge credit from this game. But for Dean Henderson's error they'd maybe have taken a deserved point.

    Sheffield United are now desperate to get the ball up to their attackers. Before they were taking their time and passing but now they are using Dean Henderson to play the long ball from the back.

    Oliver McBurnie does all he can to get on the end of a cross from the right, but after getting past TAA he heads wide. Probably a foul by the big man anyway.

    The 90 minutes are up. We'll have four minutes of added time.
