It's chucking it down at Old Trafford. Not so much so at Bournemouth. The teams are in the tunnel. Ready for six more Premier League games? We're nearly ready to go in our 3pm kick-offs.

Why tinker with Aaron Ramsdale? Keep him in the side.

Yes I agree that goalkeeping has evolved and moved on. There are games where you are going to have possession and want to move the ball out from the back quicker, but every keeper at this level can do that.

So he should stick with Ramsdale, leave him in the side, keep his confidence up.

There is some pressure starting to build in Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta is making a lot of changes, tweaking between different formations, questions if he is overthinking, who is going to play in goal?

He needs as many first choice players fit and firing when those question do start to come up.

It is hard to question the manager with the job he has done so dar.

Everton's prospective new owners 777 Partners are in attendance at Goodison Park today.

Co-founders Josh Wander and Steven Pasko as well as CEO Don Dransfield will be watching on today.

Earlier this month, current owner Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake in the club to the Miami-based investment firm.

Earwigging the conversations of those in gold walking down the Waterloo Road a few moments ago would not have made for a good pre-game talk for Wolves.

“How much will we be beaten today?” “Will it be double figures?” the Wolves fans were discussing.

But the Man City side are injury-ridden and out of a quadruple earlier than we’d expect.

So, who knows…

Burnley have played some attractive football this season.

They have brought in new players who are trying to learn Vincent Kompany's methods and how he wants them to play.

Even though their first fixtures were against the big clubs, Man City, Tottenham, Man Utd, they have been quite impressive.

They are going to have to be more conservative, that is not to say completely abandon the expansive football, but learn to shut up shop at times and defend.

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil puts it quite succinctly at the start of his programme notes.

"There is no easy time to face Manchester City. They are the best team in the world."

In fairness, Wolves did lead Liverpool for quite a long time in their last home game.

I suspect they will have to up their levels from that performance to get anything out of this.

What sort of reception will Matheus Nunes get from Wolves fans?

The Portugal midfielder was fined in August after missing training in an effort to secure a move to Manchester City.

Nunes eventually made the move for £53m.

It could be a lively old afternoon in the Black Country.

Two teams who are consistently inconsistent so far this season. These two meet just days after a Carabao Cup victory for United against Palace.

The starting line-ups are different and I expect a very different game today.

A big opportunity for Facundo Pellistri today as he follows up his start against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday with a first Premier League start against the Eagles today.

As kick off approaches, the 21-year-old winger will, along with the usual warm ups, have been doing his quite endearing pre-match rituals which involves socks and messages to his girlfriend.

"I put my two socks together to see which one is longer, and I put the longer one on my right foot," he told Manchester United's official website.

"I also send messages to my family and my girlfriend makes fun of me because I send the same messages to her every time: three heart emojis, then one more."And she cannot reply – if she does, I send it to her again! It's just the way that I get ready for the game."

Jarrod Bowen has had a brilliant start to the season, he is just getting better and better.

The team and himself are understanding the role he fits into best and where he needs to play. His energy is fantastic, creating and scoring goals for the team.

When he first moved to the club from Hull lots of clubs were looking at him, and he took a little bit of time to settle in. But he has become a real leader now for West Ham.

There will be no Pep Guardiola in the Manchester City dug-out this afternoon.

Guardiola serves a one-match touchline ban for picking up his third yellow card of the season at Newcastle on Wednesday.

He will be speaking to the media later though.

Took Ollie Watkins out of my Fantasy team.

Feel like crying.

Ex-England striker on TNT Sports

It was the perfect person to play against Brighton because he makes those runs in behind. Ollie Watkins did everything. He was clinical. [He] consistently made the runs and got in and when he did, he finished them.

There's talk about shoehorning Kai Havertz in and it not working. I don't know what people expect because Arsenal are unbeaten and they're back in the Champions League. Yes, they've dropped points at home against Fulham and Spurs but apart from that I think Arsenal are trying to do it efficiently.

For me, Havertz is lacking in confidence and I understand all the flack. But he actually adds efficiency that Arsenal lacked last season.

A lot of people will not give him credit because he cost £65m and he should be scoring five to 10 goals a week. It doesn't work like that.

It's a new system, he's got to understand how Arsenal play.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola faces childhood friend Mikel Arteta in the Premier League.

The pair are part of a remarkable group of managers to have come from the tiny Gipuzkoa area of northern Spain.

One of those bosses, Julen Lopetegui, left Wolves before the season began, but Unai Emery remains at Aston Villa.

Yet their shared roots in the Basque Country are eclipsed by the bond that unites Iraola, Arsenal manager Arteta and Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, the former Liverpool and Spain midfielder. The trio all played youth football for amateur club Antiguoko at the same time.

"It was a very nice period," Iraola told BBC Sport.

"You are eight, nine, 10 years old and you are playing with your friends on the beach. We didn't have these hopes when we were playing. We were just kids playing football."

The London Stadium has plenty of disco music blaring out whilst the West Ham players inspect the pitch pre-match.

Will Candi Staton inspire the Hammers to break their run of back to back defeats in the Premier League?"

Aston Villa hat-trick hero Ollie Watkins, speaking to TNT Sports after the win over Brighton: "It was a good performance from us. We bounced back here and they play some good stuff so it is a great result."

How many are you aiming for this season: "I'm not sure. Hopefully a lot more. [It is] a great day for me."

On Gareth Southgate being in attendance: "To be honest, I don't know when he is here. It is nice when he is but I want to perform and score every game. There have been a few times this season when I have been disappointed and there is always a chance to put it right. I am going to enjoy it.

"Someone told me about my record [against Brighton] before the match. Every game I want to score and hurt their defence and it worked today. Collectively, we were second to none. Credit to the boys."

How much do you continue to develop under Emery? "Always. If I haven't scored, he continues keep talking to me and telling me to work hard every day and goals will come."

On reports of a new contract: "I just try and let my football do the talking. My goal is to score goals and help the team win. What happens off the pitch is separate."

There's quiet optimism around Goodison Park with Everton starting to hit form after their early struggles.

In their previous Premier League game - a 3-1 win at Brentford, Everton scored more goals and claimed more points than they had in their first five games combined.

They followed it up with an impressive Carabao Cup victory at Aston Villa and are now looking to win three games in a row for the first time since September 2021, in the early days of Rafa Benitez's short-lived reign.

It might just be me but it feels like two teams facing each other again just days after meeting in a cup competition happens more often than you'd expect.

Here we are again with Manchester United hosting Crystal Palace. The two sides met in the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford on Tuesday, with the hosts claiming a comfortable 3-0 win.

A repeat of that would be most welcome for manager Erik ten Hag as it would ensure Manchester United finish September with three wins in a row, having started the month with three successive defeats.
