    If Chelsea do not beat Sheffield Utd, and do it comfortably, I fear the board and the fans will be asking for Pochs head and he may be sacked. Potter was sacked for less

    Well worked by Palace. Phil Foden is closed down by three defenders and Roy Hodgson's side manage to beat the City press to come away with it.

    I was going to say it was a positive start for Newcastle but a big groan has just come through as Schar has gone down.

    Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher plays a one-two on the edge of the box but his 20-yard effort is straight at Wes Foderingham.

    Bournemouth 0-1 Luton

    Ahh, a poor touch from Antoine Semenyo after Adam Smith had picked him out with a decent cross-field pass.

    Semenyo manages to keep it in and fizzes it back across to Dominic Solanke, but he can't get there ahead of the defender.

    Round of applause for Newcastle's Fabian Schar as he hobbles off. Emil Krafth replaces the Swiss.

    Fairly even start - albeit with Chelsea leading on possession. Cameron Archer has a shot blocked for Chris Wilder's Blades.

    Luton are starting to control things at Bournemouth. Ross Barkley is playing some good stuff.

    Newcastle defender Fabian Schar suddenly pulls up injured while running with the ball. This isn't good. The Magpies are running out of players.

    It is a fine effort, really good play from City. Dias has got loads of time to take a touch and pick a spot and he should really hit the target. Danger signs already from City.

    Now Rodri has a go, linking up with Rico Lewis through the middle before toe-poking it wide of the post from just inside the box.

    Man City 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Ruben Dias fizzes a decent effort just wide of the left post from the edge of the box. He hit it so well!

    Man Utd could not score at home against Bournemouth in 100 minutes. Luton does it in 3.

    City have started well and are passing it well and finding gaps. Palace need to get a couple of passes in before they play that long ball to Mateta.

    Andros Townsend whips one in for Elijah Adebayo, who isn't too far away from getting on the end of it.

    Not a load of action so far. Blades striker Oli McBurnie is OK after being clattered by Benoit Badiashile.

    Out of all the games on show today, Newcastle I'd imagine will be the most scrutinised. They need to start winning consistently and quickly otherwise last season will just be put down to a flash in the pan season. People hope they would have kicked on but it's not looking like it. Big, big game for them today.

    City are well on top at the Etihad. Bernardo Silva tees up Kyle Walker for a cross but it hits the back of Phil Foden.

    Martin Dubravka gets away with one. The Toon keeper runs out to try to deal with Harry Wilson, but the Fulham midfielder cuts it back before he gets there. Luckily it doesn't land to a player in pink.

    If one of your best assets is getting the ball into the box and being powerful and dangerous then do it.

    The ball is played into the box and Adebayo rises higher than anyone else to thump a header into the net.

    If it works for you then keep doing it.
