Bad news for Brighton. Danny Welbeck is down injured and the Seagulls are preparing to make an early change.

The hosts are very much trying to press forward at every opportunity albeit Pedro Neto appears to have been given free rein to do as he pleases going in the other direction.

The Portugal winger curls another dangerous ball across the face of the Cherries goal.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola will surely want his side to be a little more restrictive.

Nottingham Forest win the first corner of the game as a cross is headed behind at Luton's near post.

The ball is played short, Morgan Gibbs-White's cross is then half cleared before Chris Wood directs a tame header at Thomas Kaminski.

After that lovely finish from Julian Alvarez, thanks to a delightful run down the left from Jeremy Doku, Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi headed back to his seat muttering away to himself.

He did not look best pleased with that. It was a good finish but he will be disappointed with the defending.

Action at both ends as Josko Gvardiol tests Jason Steele with an attempt from outside the box. Brighton respond through Kaoru Mitoma who weaves his way into the box before forcing a save from Stefan Ortega.

Decent game this.

Crystal Palace are on the back foot here as Joachim Andersen makes an important clearance from a dangerous Jacob Murphy ball in.

Everything is going down the right for Newcastle.

Jeremy Doku is running riot. Another lovely run by the Belgian. Brighton need to stop giving him so much space.

It's a beautiful ball in from Kieran Tripper - perfect timing of his run. We've seen that for years, how primed he is to do that.

Newcastle have got that high energy and excitement about them already.

Luton are getting stuck into Nottingham Forest and that has quietened the home crowd a bit. Play is a bit more even now after a strong start by the hosts.

Brilliant run from Doku, I was surprised he got the nod over Grealish, but what do I know?!

Isolated Gross, little burst to the byline, he cuts it back from Alvarez. Wasn't the cleanest of finishes, he choked the shot a bit, but great start for City!

End-to-end action under gloomy skies here. Bournemouth work the ball from left to right with some deft touches in a move that ends up with David Brooks testing Wolves keeper Jose Sa, seconds before the first "Neto duel" of the day at the other end as Wolves' Pedro Neto rattles the bar of the goal patrolled by his namesake Neto.

Meanwhile, there's a roar from the home fans when Alex Scott - socks rolled down in Jack Grealish fashion - seeks to spark another attack. Gary O'Neil is quickly out of his dugout to shout instructions to Boubacar Traore.

Both Neal Maupay and Nathan Collins were onside, but Kristoffer Ajer was off and deemed to be interfering with play.

After a VAR check, we remain goalless in the capital.

Crystal Palace are looking to respond immediately and Jean-Philippe Mateta is not far off grabbing the equaliser.

Joel Ward then makes a crucial clearance at the back post at the other end.

End-to-end game.

Brentford 0-0 Burnley

Neal Maupay thinks he's scored for Brentford but the flag goes up straight away! We're checking things though...

A deep free-kick was volleyed back across goal by Nathan Collins to Maupay who bundled the ball in at the back post.

First half decent chance of the game and Pedro Neto slams a curling left-foot shot against the crossbar.

Wolves could and possibly should be ahead.

John Stones is making his first Manchester City start since the Community Shield. He's lining up against 37-year-old James Milner, who is facing his old club.

Jeremy Doku has the first sight of goal after being fed by Phil Foden but he cannot get it on target.

Newcastle 0-0 Crystal Palace

Cracking finish by Jacob Murphy but the linesman's flag is up with Kieran Trippier possibly just straying offside before teeing up his team-mate.

It is disallowed but VAR is taking a look...

Luton need a win to avoid their worst-ever start to a league season.

So far it is all Nottingham Forest, whose fans are typically loud and creating a superb atmosphere.
