Alex Howell
BBC Sport at Emirates StadiumThis is a seriously impressive performance from Arsenal. They've come so close to scoring so many times. Martinelli has just had a volley that was heading for the top corner tipped over by Martinez. Arteta will be happy at the break.

Superb save by Emi Martinez to keep it 1-0 as he flings himself at a Gabriel Martinelli shot on the half volley that seemed certain to be heading into the top corner.

Simon: Everyone talking about Man City winning the league, but there is currently only one 100% record, and it ain't them.

Bournemouth 0-0 Wolves
Familiar problems for Wolves. They play some neat and tidy football but just nothing happening for them in the final third. Into three minutes of added time at the end of the first half.

Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer at AnfieldNewcastle's new striker Alexander Isak is easing his way in at Anfield. He had a half chance which he created for himself but shot well off target.
Keeper Nick Pope seems to have recovered well after having treatment early on and Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe will be reasonably satisfied with what he has seen so far.

Arsenal 1-0 Aston Villa
Gabriel Jesus is yet to lose a single Premier League match in which he's found the net (48 - W45 D3 before tonight).
Not a good omen for Aston Villa.

Dion Dublin
Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveIsak is not letting Gomez and Van Dijk take their time. Sometimes you can get caught on the ball. Isak is reminding all of the defenders that they aren't going to get that time tonight. It's a good start from the new boy.

Josh: Haaland needs to increase the difficulty, he's definitely got it on amateur.
Millington: Yeah yeah yeah, Haaland Haaland blah blah blah BUT can he do it in the Premier League?!
DJ Williams: Man City to score 10 + goals and Haaland to get half of them. He will also get 40 plus goals. As a Liverpool fan I feel sick.

Harry Kane plays a nice through ball into Dejan Kulusevski, who tries to slide it across for Son Heung-min, but the South Korean was too far ahead of it.

The biggest shock in this game is that it is still 1-0. It has been total dominance from Arsenal and Aston Villa look nervous, highlighted by Emi Martinez dragging the ball behind to concede a corner.
