  1. 'Eze causing mayhem'published at 15:17 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Final Score

    Eberechi Eze, as per usual all of last season, is causing mayhem for Crystal Palace.

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Crystal Palace

    There's not been too much from Crystal Palace in the early stages but Odsonne Édouard has the Sheffield United defence panicking as he runs at them, gets into the box before Jack Robinson slides in front of his shot at the near post. Crucial block.

  3. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:16 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Bournemouth 0-0 West Ham

    West Ham inches away from the opener!

    Tomas Soucek makes a good run and is found in the box but his effort comes back off the inside of the far post and lands in the grasp of Neto.

    So close for the Hammers and a mighty big let off for the Cherries.

    De Zerbi's step count 13 minutes into the game must be ridiculous.

    I'm sweating for him!

    Bournemouth 0-0 West Ham

    Both of these teams battled successfully against relegation last season after flirting with it for long periods.

    West Ham came here and won 4-0 in the second half of the campaign. This is shaping up to be a much tighter affair.

    Everton 0-0 Fulham

    Everton really needed to take at least one of those two early chances.

    A few moans and groans are starting to creep in with each misplaced pass.

    Bournemouth 0-0 West Ham

    Wide!

    Bournemouth almost take advantage of a slip from Nayef Aguerd as Dominic Solanke nicks the ball. He sets up David Brooks, but the winger shoots past the far post.

    Everton 0-0 Fulham

    It looked like the first goal in these 3pm games was going to come from this game but things have settled a bit now after a fast start.

  9. Postpublished at 15:11 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Almost a dream full debut for William Osula as his curled effort deflects just wide of the far post.

    It has been a decent start by Sheffield United.

  10. Postpublished at 15:11 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Brighton 0-0 Luton

    Luton are giving a decent account of themselves here. They're not allowing Brighton to dictate. Ryan Giles' cross from the left is a decent one and dealt with well by Lewis Dunk, who chests back to his own keeper under pressure.

    Bournemouth 0-0 West Ham

    Philip Billing has requested to just be known as Philip this season. So that's the name on his shirt now.

    He had a fine season in 2022-23 and is in the thick of it here again, looking to pull strings.

  12. 'Almost a dream start'published at 15:07 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Everton 0-0 Fulham

    Betty Glover
    BBC Sport commentator

    Everton nearly had a dream start.

    Maupay raced on to a past and fired one towards goal but dragged it wide of the post.

  13. Postpublished at 15:07 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Bournemouth 0-0 West Ham

    West Ham have started the brightest here.

    Pablo Fornals and Jarrod Bowen have both fired wide with efforts from range.

    Matt: Well, that was harder than it should have been. But good to show some grit and see it out. Work to do, but good three points and a cracker from Saka

    One game in and people are already exclaiming Arsenal won't win the title. Ridiculous really.

  15. 'Bright start from Brighton'published at 15:06 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Brighton 0-0 Luton

    Steve Sidwell
    Former Villa and Brighton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Brighton have started brightly.

    Mitoma on that left hand side did well to jink side to side to make space for the cross

    Dunk unmarked at the back post was always stretching to get there, just a little too high.

    Brighton 0-0 Luton

    Joao Pedro misses a sitter!

    The forward, on debut is perfectly placed to meet a low ross from the right from Pascal Gross but completely fluffs it, sending it wide of the far post. Should be 1-0.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:06 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Everton 0-0 Fulham

    Big save by Bernd Leno as he sticks out a boot to deny Abdoulaye Doucoure from point-blank range.

    This has been a real high tempo start.

  18. Postpublished at 15:05 British Summer Time 12 August 2023

    Brighton 0-0 Luton

    Luton's first dart forward ends with last season's 20-goal top scorer Carlton Morris driving in a low cross that Jason Steele grabs.

    A good crowd at Bramall Lane for Sheffield United's Premier League return. The home side have certainly started with enthusiasm but no real chances yet.

    Everton 0-0 Fulham

    And now Antonee Robinson's ball into the box is just out of Harrison Reed's reach at the back post.

    A very open start to this game with both sides looking to make an early impression.
