    Andrew Priestley: New manager, same Arsenal.

    Abdul Said: Arteta's spell last for just 30 minutes, why would you start from the back gifting the ball cheaply.

    Chelsea 0-1 Southampton

    The Chelsea fans groan and throw their arms up in the stands.

    Southampton's poor clearance reaches only Callum Hudson-Odoi eight yards out inside the box.

    It is on the angle but instead of smashing a first-time effort at goal, elects to try and pick out Tammy Abraham with a chipped cross and the Saints clear.

    It's hotting up a touch at Goodison Park, too. Chris Wood goes close this time but can only help his header over the crossbar. Think that might have been offside anyway.

    Gerard Deulofeu (27 mins)

    The Nigel Pearson revival continues!

    A lovely move cuts open the usually so disciplined Sheffield United defence as a ball from the back is flicked on by Nathaniel Chalobah and Gerard Deulofeu races into the box before coolly steering a low finish beyond Dean Henderson.

    Michail Antonio gets the honours, from a long way out. Easy for Vicente Guaita.

    Southampton's pressing has been impressive. It's all about timing, they seem to know when to press and when to go for it. That's a wonderful goal for Southampton. Beautiful play.

    Everton go close!

    Not sure how that stayed out? Djibril Sidibe's low drive is saved by the boot of Nick Pope and it ricochets off a couple of claret and blue bodies before being cleared.

    Good save from the Burnley keeper.

    Great goal for Southampton. Chelsea have got the three at the back but sadly for them, there was only one at the back, Kurt Zouma, for the two-on-one. Nothing Kepa could do. Chelsea attacking with the ball just don't look like they are going to break through.

    Chelsea 0-1 Southampton

    That was Michael Obafemi's first Premier League goal since last December.

    Only his second ever in the top-flight.

    Obafemi is the youngest (19y 49d) away Premier League scorer against Chelsea since May 2007 - James Vaughan for Everton (18y 303d).

    Dan Gosling (35 mins)

    The home side with the breakthrough!

    It felt like Arsenal were just starting to take control of this game but instead it is the hosts who lead as the Gunners' defence is caught out by Jack Stacey's run down the right side of the box and his cutback is poked in by Dan Gosling.

    Not a great start for Mikel Arteta.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 West Ham

    Better from Crystal Palace! But what a miss...

    It all started with the wizardry of Wilfried Zaha, tricking his way down the left wing and driving the ball across goal.

    Max Meyer helps it back across the six-yard box for the oncoming Jordan Ayew to surely just tap in, but the forward dangles a toe at it and can only send his effort wide.

    Huge chance for the hosts.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Arsenal

    Arsenal well on top, but Nelson needs to be able to put better crosses in. No pressure on him and they're sailing over everyone. Arsenal could be two or three up with some better final balls.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Arsenal

    Lucas Torreira is loving life as the linchpin of this Arsenal midfield as he effortlessly sprays a ball from deep down to Bukayo Saka on the edge of the Bournemouth box. Good first touch by Saka to bring it under control but he then loses possession when he is closed down.

    Michael Obafemi (31 mins)

    Marvellous goal!

    Southampton have sat back, soaked up the pressure and hit Chelsea on the break.

    Skipper Pierre-Emile Hojberg fizzes a pass into the feet of Michael Obafemi and then the Blues defenders are in all sorts of trouble.

    He spins past Fikayo Tomori who jumps in, cuts inside of Kurt Zouma and curls a superb finish from the edge of the box into the top corner.

    Kepa Arrizabalaga was unmoved but the Saints fans are bouncing at the Bridge.

    The decision stands and no goal but Sheffield United learned their lesson after what happened against Newcastle earlier this season. They played to the whistle this time.

    Carlo Ancelotti is being so Italian - it's hilarious! The actions that he's giving, the shrugs he's giving, the arms and the big, big sighs. He's a joy to watch!

    Nearly half an hour gone and Southampton are already taking agessss on each goal kick and throw-in.

    Ryan Bertrand takes a few too many seconds for referee Jon Moss's likening and is shown a yellow card.

    Tightrope for an hour.
