Alarm bells in Chelsea's defence as Kevin de Bruyne is again afforded space in a dangerous position. He can't get his shot away on this occasion but City have started in a really positive fashion.

Frank Lampard has worked wonders with Chelsea's kids since suffering a heavy defeat at Manchester United on the opening weekend of the season.

But Chelsea are lucky to be on level terms at the Etihad as Kevin de Bruyne finds space inside the penalty area before lashing just wide.

That's just the start Pep Guardiola demanded from his side.

Watford

Watford defender Adrian Mariappa speaking to Sky Sports: 'Playing the game it did not feel like a 3-0 defeat.

'In the first half we were quite confortable and we are disappointed with the goals we conceded today. We need to go back to the drawing board, look back at this game and work in trainng.

On the penalty incident: 'At the time I thought it was just two people kicking each other: it will be probably debated all week but personally I am not a lover of VAR.

It's fourth against third and we're under way.

Here come the teams...

Burnley

Burley manager Sean Dyche speaking to Match of the Day: 'It is a convincing win but hard-fought, in the first half we were miles off, we had a word at half time and we set out in a different manner in the second half.

'I reminded the players about discipline and to play on the front foot.

'Our defence kept us in the game in the first half, we did not look too much in trouble but Nick Pope deserves a lot of credit too.

On the penalty awarded through VAR: 'I think that what VAR is it for. I was surprised it was not given in the first place. But I think in the end it is the right decision.

On Chris Wood: 'I think it is a great goal, he adjusts his feet right at the right second and that's a fantastic centre-forward goal.

'I like having two centre forwards, Barnes and Wood are playing a big part on us scoring more freely since last Christmas.

Manchester City have already lost three Premier League games this season - one more than Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Time to turn our attention to the late game.

There's around 10 minutes to kick-off at the Etihad.

Chelsea start one place and one point above Manchester City.

Southampton

Southampton's James Ward-Prowse, speaking to MOTD: "We dominated the game and put Arsenal under pressure. But we were not clinical enough in the last 20 minutes to put the game to bed. We're kicking ourselves. On a positive note, it's a building block for us and we have some winnable games coming up."

Adam Salter: Surely, after that performance, Emery’s position is untenable. You should be beating Southampton comfortable at home, not drawing 2-2 (and a very lucky 2-2, The Saints should have steamrolled us).

John Spurling: I can’t remember a home game where the away side should so clearly have won, but didn't. Southampton were sharper and Arsenal dreadful and very lucky.

A bit of clarity on the Leicester penalty. Which was saved. Before the Foxes scored on the rebound. And then ruled out. Before being re-taken. And finally scored.

The premier League inform us: "The on-field decision was to award the goal, but the VAR identified that both James Maddison (who headed in the rebound) and Brighton players had encroached inside the penalty area. The VAR then correctly advised the referee that the penalty should be retaken."

Fair enough.

Burnley

Burnley goalscorer Chris Wood on Sky Sports: 'It is important to get a win, we had to dig deep with a solid performance.

'Our defence has been top class, we kept the clean sheet and that’s what we built the result on.

On coming back from international duty: 'Strategically we knew it was not a gamble and we managed it with the team of our physiotherapists and in the end it paid off'.

BtheG: This is the worst Arsenal team I have witnessed!

Southampton

Southampton's James Ward-Prowse, speaking to Sky Sports: "The main thing is we showed up. Coming up against a quality team like Arsenal, you are always going to be under pressure. It's painful to think if we had hung on for a couple of minutes more we would have had all three points."

George: We really are the ‘People’s Club’...

“Can’t win away from home?” Come to Goodison!

“Struggling with goals on the road?” Don’t worry, we’ve got you!

“Desperately need a win to please your board?” That’s fine, we don’t want the points!

Manchester City make five changes from the 3-1 defeat by Liverpool before the international break.

Norwich City

Norwich forward Teemu Pukki speaking after the game: "It feels amazing to get our first away win. It has been coming for a while but it feels good to get some away points. I think we did well, we were defending well and we were still playing our style of football. The clean sheet is really important, that’s what we came for. The defence have really played a vital part today."

On people tipping them for relegation: "We don’t care what people say, it’s up to us to do our job to stay in the league. We have started now and we need to continue. We have been missing that away win and now it’s a lot easier to go forwards. It’s a relief but I think it’s about time and we thoroughly deserved the points today."

Stuart Clark: Liverpool were so lucky there. I know people will say "thats what champions do grind out results" but its surely only a matter of time before these rubbish performances catch up to us?

Right then, who's getting sacked first? Emery? Silva? Pellegrini? I'm only half kidding.

Liverpool are eight points clear of second-placed Leicester City and 12 ahead of Manchester City, who play at 17:30 GMT at home to Chelsea.

Wolves are up to fifth in the table!
