    Chelsea 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    Decent chance for the visitors to whip the ball into the Chelsea penalty area after Thiago Silva wrestles Taiwo Awoniyi to the ground.

    The hosts struggle to clear that and the ball pings around their penalty area before Awoniyi blazes an effort over. Pretty decent chance that.

    Man City 0-0 Fulham

    The first sign of Jeremy Doku's pace as he darts past a man on the left before swinging over a cross that lands at Phil Foden's feet. He tries to beat Antonee Robinson but the Fulham man's tackle is clean.

    Man City 0-0 Fulham

    Phil Foden comes into the game and something happens. It's no coincidence.

    The ball is floated to the far stick for the England forward to volley a neat ball between the Fulham keeper and defence. Erling Haaland is in there but doesn't anticipate it.

    Burnley 1-1 Tottenham

    Burnley's Lyle Foster, with only Guglielmo Vicario to beat, prods an effort goalwards, but it is saved by the legs of the Spurs keeper. Foster looked miles offside, and he was, with the assistant taking an age to raise the flag.

  5. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:25 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Brentford 1-0 Bournemouth

    Almost a second goal for the hosts. Kevin Schade holds off a defender and runs through on goal and sees his shot clip off Bournemouth keeper Neto and come back off the post.

    Liz: This game, so far, is a perfect illustration of the importance of Pep. The intensity, the ideas, the direction he provides cannot be replaced. We've not got going and it's simply not something he would stand for.

    G: I know that it's "impossible to replace Kane", but with all that money coming in it's borderline negligent to not even try, leaving Richarlison as your only recognised Center Forward.

    Man City 0-0 Fulham

    I've just seen the Harry Wilson incident. Ruben Dias certainly had his hand on the Fulham man's shoulder, but the ref clearly didn't think it was enough to be penalised. City's defender taking a big risk, though.

    Man City 0-0 Fulham

    Harry Wilson darts forward and goes down near the edge of the City box. He appeals to the ref as play continues. Looks adamant he's been fouled. The on-field official says no, and he's backed up by the VAR team.

    Brentford 1-0 Bournemouth

    What is Dominic Solanke doing?

    Bournemouth's Scottish midfielder Ryan Christie slaloms through the home defence and is about to pull the trigger until his teammate flicks the ball off his toes straight at home keeper Mark Flekken.

    Man City 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham win a second corner, but as with the first they can't beat Rodri at the near post.

    Antonee Robinson looks to be a big outlet for the Cottagers. Twice now he's got forward down the left to good effect.

  11. CLOSE!published at 15:21 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Burnley 1-1 Tottenham

    Another chance for Burnley. Sander Berge slides a square pass to Zeki Amdouni, who tries his luck from 25 yards out. Guglielmo Vicario in the Tottenham goal is worried, but then relieved to see Amdouni pull his shot wide of the left upright.

    That is the difference between playing Premier League and Championship.

    Burnley played very expansive football last season but at the expense of leaving their defenders two versus two at the back.

    It is a beautiful finish from Son, top class.

    Brentford 1-0 Bournemouth

    Dominic Solanke is making his 100th Premier League appearance this afternoon and he goes on a mazy from left to right before Ethan Pinnock comes over to block off the Bournemouth forward.

  14. Postpublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Burnley 1-1 Tottenham

    It's a very good game this one. Luca Koleosho, who made Burnley's goal, has a chance to put his side back in front but can only skew a header wide when free in the penalty area.

    Luke Harris' previous Premier League experience amounts to three substitute appearances - one against Manchester City ironically - last season totalling ten minutes.

    It is fair to assume this is the biggest test of the youngster's professional life so far.

    The crowd haven't made their presence here felt at all yet. They're waiting to be given something to get animated about and it has yet to materialise in 20 minutes.

    Chelsea 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    There's been a fairly lengthy delay at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea's Conor Gallagher took a whack from Ryan Yates.

    The visitors are doing their best to close down the space and give the home side very little time on the ball but it looks pretty warm out there so we'll see just how long they can keep this up for.

    (Re: 14:56) Incredible really Man City academy contributing massively towards the Eng U21's. People down voting probably because of jealousy, but it's sad and negative. Someone contributing big time for the good of the national team should be appreciated. Can't people take off their biased tints of their glasses.

    Tom Cairney's afternoon is over. He applauds the away fans and limps off to be replaced by Luke Harris for a first Premier League appearance. He's from Jersey and the first player to appear in England's top flight from the island since Graeme Le Saux.

    No Joao Palhinha today for Fulham and now no Cairney. A blow.

    Son Heung-min (Tottenham)

    Burnley's lead only lasts 12 minutes. A long ball forward from Tottenham is controlled by Son Heung-min and the new Spurs captain links up with Manor Solomon, before getting the ball back.

    With goalkeeper James Trafford charging off his line, Son keeps his composure with a lovely, lofted finish to make it 1-1.
