One game down, six to go in the Premier League. Five of those are under way now. All of them bathed in glorious sunshine.
Wolves v Fulham (15:00 BST)
Naz Premji
Final Score
Both these Portuguese coaches have named unchanged teams today.
It means Wolves' new striker Goncalo Guedes has to make do with a spot on the bench.
Wolves put in a great performance at Leeds and lost and Fulham put in a great performance and got a point against Liverpool.
Bruno Lage's has already said his side need some more help and after Guedes' arrival, don't be surprised to see more new faces come in.
FT: Aston Villa 2-1 Everton
Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrad, speaking to BBC Sport:
"I'm really pleased with our level of performance, I believed that if we found that level there would be a different outcome from last week.
"What we put in this week, the quality and the goals we scored, no-one can challenge the outcome, I thought we deserved it.
"We looked a different team today. It was tough conditions for both sets of players, but they were excellent in terms of the game plan. We really wanted to make it about their back three, and both goals have come off that."

Ashley Williams
Former Wales captain on Final Score
Steven Gerrard didn't look too happy at the end. Aston Villa didn't manage the game after the second goal. It was a bit scrappy.
I'm sure he's relieved he's got the win, but there's a lot of work to be done at Villa.
Brighton v Newcastle (15:00 BST)
Alan Shearer
Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Brighton were amazing on Sunday when you consider their record at Old Trafford wasn't very good [they had drawn two and lost 12 of their previous 14 visits].
The way they performed after losing a couple of really important players in pre-season [Yves Bissouma to Tottenham and Marc Cucurella to Chelsea], to go there and play the way they did and make Manchester United look ordinary - great credit to Brighton.
Arsenal v Leicester (15:00 BST)
Michael Brown
Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
Kasper Schmeichel was so vocal, his leadership and the demands he put on his players. He'll be a big miss but now others have to step up.
He made those big saves and you knew you had a great goalkeeper behind you.
No disrespect to Danny Ward, he hasn't got that stature at this moment in time, he's getting the opportunity now.

For Frank Lampard, the story switches to him now.
They have Nottingham Forest coming up. There's a lot of pressure building very early in the new season.

Haaland makes the cover of City's programme for his home debut
It's 83 days since Manchester City were last in action at Etihad Stadium - it was quite a, erm, quiet afternoon at the end of last season, against Aston Villa. Do you remember it?
Since then, they have added a certain Erling Haaland to their attack - just in case they find themselves 2-0 down with 15 minutes to play in a must-win game, I suppose?
It would be a shock if they find themselves in that position today, though. City have beaten Bournemouth in all 10 of their Premier League meetings and have not lost to them in any of their 17 meetings to date. The Cherries have only even been ahead once - for eight minutes at Dean Court in August 2017. Something to aim for today, then...
Arsenal v Leicester (15:00 BST)
Ben Mundy, at The Emirates, Final Score
As we tick down to kick off here in the north London heatwave, the temperature is rising. We’re expecting the thermometer to reach 34C, so it was rather odd seeing Arsenal scarves and woolly hats on sale as I walked towards Emirates Stadium. Nothing like a bit of winter planning, I guess!?
Anyway, back to the football. It’s rather apt England is experiencing its driest conditions since the 70s, because that was the last time the Gunners won their first two league games of a new campaign – without conceding.
They have a great chance of achieving that this afternoon though, against a Leicester side who won just four on the road in the Premier League last season.
Brendan Rodgers side let a two goal lead slip against Brentford in their opener last week – so they have work to do.
Arsenal v Leicester (15:00 BST)

Leicester City are no longer the only club in Europe's top five divisions not to make a signing, after it was confirmed experienced goalkeeper Alex Smithies is joining the Foxes.
Brendan Rodgers has been dealing with a squad size too big for the 25-man Premier League squad rules, as well as a sustainable model for finances and recruitment which has meant players needed to leave the club before they could move in the market.
This won't be where Leicester City are finished in the transfer window, with the club still looking at opportunities to move Bouba Soumare and Jannik Vestergaard out of the club. Plus, questions over the heads of Ayoze Perez and Caglar Soyuncu remain.

Just spoken to social media’s newest sensation Nick Pope on….. Nick Pope.
The sun may have got to some people on social media on Friday as Nick Pope's name was trending all day long. It basically stemmed from him being suggested as an option in a fast food outlet's poll and took off from there...
FT: Aston Villa 2-1 Everton
Ashley Williams
Former Wales captain on Final Score
Everton need a striker, a focal point. They need someone to shoulder the burden of scoring goals in that team.
They need more possession - I don't know how long we've been saying it, they need more control in games.
The performance last weekend was OK, but today they weren't as good.
Wolves v Fulham (15:00 BST)
Chris Sutton
Former Premier League striker
Wolves needed a striker, and they have got one after signing Goncalo Guedes this week.
They have got some talented players but they worry me a little bit, based on their performance against Leeds.
Until the season settles down, it is hard to really know what to expect from Bruno Lage's side, but I am anticipating another feisty display from Fulham after their draw with Liverpool.
The Fulham players will have taken a lot of confidence from that performance, and with Aleksandar Mitrovic in their team they look like they've got a goal threat.
I am really tempted to go with a Fulham win, but they are another team I have backed to get relegated - so that can't happen. It's going to be another draw, I'm afraid.
Prediction: 1-1
Brighton v Newcastle (15:00 BST)
Newcastle United
Two games into the season and Newcastle are wearing a fourth-choice top at Brighton. That's because their other shirts clash with Brighton's.
They have sought permission to wear the pre-match top which features a silhouette of St James' Park and city landmarks in sky blue.
Arsenal v Leicester (15:00 BST)
There's a relaxed vibe outside Emirates Stadium on what is a hot, sticky day. Will the Gunners maintain their strong start after launching the campaign with a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace last week?
And will Gabriel Jesus score his first Premier League goal in Arsenal colours?
Southampton v Leeds (15:00 BST)
Marc Webber
Final Score
The heat is being turned up in real life and metaphorically at St Mary’s Stadium.
Having won just one of 13 previous Premier League games, a midweek fans forum left Ralph Hasenhuttl very clear of the worries many fans have about the mental fragility of a side of younger prospects who could bear future financial fruit for the club, but are still finding their feet at this level.
His four changes today bring in some experience, with Che Adams starting.
No such early season fretting for Leeds fans and an unchanged side for Jesse March maybe gives us a glimpse of the type of structure we will see from them all season.
Brighton v Newcastle (15:00 BST)
What a day to be an ice cream seller.
Got a feeling the owner of this van parked outside Brighton's ground is in for a busy shift.
It's definitely a double cone day.
Man City v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)
Chris Bevan
BBC Sport at Etihad Stadium
It's always a good sign when the sky above Etihad Stadium is the same colour as Manchester City's shirts.
To borrow some lyrics from local heroes Oasis, that means there's some time in the sunshine for Erling Haaland, who makes his home debut against Bournemouth today - there is no easy way out for the Cherries defence.
I'm sure Erling's dad has already told him the Manchester weather isn't always like this though.

Anon: If Lampard could have motivated his team to play for the first 88 minutes they may well have got more out of this game! Dreadful performance Everton.
Craig: So the only scorer for Everton this season is OG. Get him signed up!
