Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is really fired up for this one. He's been animated even by his own standards in these first 10 minutes.
Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea
The corner is half-cleared to Mason Mount, who volleys miles over from the edge of the box. Decent spell for the visitors.
Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea
Mason Mount whips the free in but Sadio Mane clears as Antonio Rudiger was swinging his boot for a shot behind him.
Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea
Joel Matip is bamboozled by Mason Mount's first first touch and brings him down. Free-kick in shooting/crossing range.
Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea
Kai Havertz steps inside Fabinho and gets chopped down by the Liverpool midfielder. The Blues play the free-kick back and not forwards though.
Alisson is off his line quickly to beat Romelu Lukaku to a long ball.
FT: Brighton 0-2 Everton
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton manager Graham Potter speaking to Sky Sports: "We weren't really bad - not that good either. The better team won.
"If you make an error against these types of teams, they can punish you, they've got good players. I though we responded well at half time. Over the course of the game, I've no complaints with the result.
"We weren't at our best. We lacked that little bit of quality and they were dangerous on the transition while we were trying to push for a goal.
"Six points from the first three matches is not a bad start.
"We lost Solly March in the week so we lost a bit of balance there. They've got some great forward players and they exploited that."
Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea
Wow, what a moment that would have been. Mohamed Salah picks out Harvey Elliott 25 yards out and the teenager has a crack that flies just wide. Edouard Mendy was diving, he wasn't sure which side of the post that was going.
Newcastle 2-2 Southampton
Southampton
Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, speaking to BBC MOTD: "You have to be happy [with a point] after a game like that.
"We had a lot of chances to go in the lead. In the second half, we concede the first goal, so we changed the shape a little bit. In the end you concede a goal and you think 'oof, unbelievable'. Only the mentality and the belief meant that we draw the game.
"We stopped trying to score and I think we have shown we have quality to score. It was really good that the referee looked the VAR [for the penalty] and in the end, an absolute deserved point for us.
"You know our history here in the last three years so you think it is not possible for us to take something here. But we cannot play much better than the first half today and normally you must get something. Finally we must take the point and keep in going.
"A draw is better than losing here. It is good that we have a two-week break coming up and not losing here."
Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea
Early attack for Liverpool but Reece James heads away from Harvey Elliott's cross.
FT: Norwich 1-2 Leicester
Leicester City
Leicester goal scorer Mark Albrighton talking to BBC MOTD: "I don't score too many goals, but to get off the mark for the season is fantastic for me. For it to be the winner, it is fantastic for the team. It was a tough game today so to come away with three points, I am delighted for us.
"Norwich are a fantastic side, they have shown the quality of football they can play, obviously we have scored early which always helps. When a team scores early it always has the feeling that the team will go on and win the game but we knew they would come back strong.
"We played on the front foot for most parts of the second half. Still improvements to be made but I think overall, going into the international break to get the win was the main thing."
FT: West Ham 2-2 Crystal Palace
West Ham United
West Ham boss David Moyes, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "The players are disappointed in the dressing room but that tells you the standards we have set ourselves.
"We just didn't play to the standards we have reached in recent weeks.
"We scored another couple of goals and played really well at times in the first half. We have been good defensively but I was disappointed with the goals we conceded today."
Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea
Seven seconds in and Chelsea have a free-kick as Sadio Mane fouls Reece James. Nothing comes of the free-kick though.
Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea
Here we go.
FT: Brighton 0-2 Everton
Everton
Everton forward Demari Gray speaking to Sky Sports: "Always good to get a win before the international break. We've had a good start to the season. Similarly to last week, we started without much possession, but we've got good structure in the team. We defend well.
"I'm happy to score, but that's our game plan, we analysed their weak points and we worked it well.
"For my goal, I was running at speed and I thought that if I took him down the outside, it would be difficult for him. I did that and tucked it away well - I'm happy. Going forward we're very dangerous.
"Before the penalty - I'm not too sure what happened. It's a good thing that all our strikers want to score goals, but Dom (Calvert-Lewin) is the taker and he tucked it away."
Liverpool v Chelsea (17:30 BST)
Almost time for the game of the weekend. The game of the season so far?
FT: Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford
Brentford
Brentford manager Thomas Frank speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Happy with most of the performance. We started the game brilliant at a difficult place to play. We were brave, pressed high and scored and I felt we were really on top of the game. Then one miscommunication and it gave them the chance.
"In the second half I felt we started better and then it was more even in the last part of the game. I felt if there should have been a narrow winner it should have been us.
"I would like us to be even braver. My message before every game is to go for a win, play forward and attack. I just probably need to keep reinforcing it."
On Ivan Toney's first Premier League goal: "I said after the game, 'what took you so long'. He is a fantastic finisher. It was a beautiful goal. His presence on the pitch leading the team is amazing."
FT: West Ham 2-2 Crystal Palace.
West Ham United
West Ham boss David Moyes has just told Match of the Day that a deal to sign Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is "getting close".
He adds: "We do need a couple of more in because we have a lot of games coming up. We have a good team and I like the players we have got."
FT: Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford
Aston Villa
Aston Villa manager Dean Smith speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I am reasonably satisfied. We lacked a little bit of quality and fluidity in the final third and that cost us the victory.
"I am disappointed with the way we conceded but pleased with the way we came from behind.
"Some players didn’t think they were playing until we told them this morning. I phoned Ashley Young up late last night, we talked about his versatility, and he said he’d play anywhere but goalkeeper.
"There’ll [Brentford] want to prove they are here to stay. We will have socially distanced drinks in the office now. It will be good to see them all again."
Newcastle 2-2 Southampton
Southampton
Southampton captain James Ward-Prose, speaking to BBC MOTD: "The downside was we had three or four chances to kill the game.
"To concede too early in the second half put us on back a bit but it shows the development of the team that we go a goal down and show good reaction and good spirit and come away with a deserved point - but I feel we could have won.
"Of course there are positives but there are things we can go away and work on in the two weeks on before the next game.
"It was a pressure penalty. I was thinking about the stick my son would give me if I missed it, so I was thinking about him just before I took it so he could enjoy watching it tomorrow morning."
Norwich and Arsenal are the only two teams on zero points from three games now. Wolves and Burnley are on zero from two.
The Gunners are bottom of the Premier League table three games into the season. That's almost 8% of the season gone.
