********************************

CRYSTAL PALACE 2-2 WEST HAM - ZAHA

97: Unbelievable! Crystal Palace have equalised in the 97th minute! Zaha turns, holds off defender and shoots into corner. Slaven Bilic looks desolate.

ARSENAL 2-1 SWANSEA

FT: Well that was tough, but Arsenal have done just enough at the Emirates.

WEST BROM 2-3 MANCHESTER CITY - PHILLIPS

89: Now could this be costly? Matt Phillips pounces on a mistake from Otamendi at the back and converts from close range late on. 

ARSENAL 2-1 SWANSEA

90: Alexis Sanchez is almost slipped through by Aaron Ramsey but Alfie Mawson makes the block. Three minutes of added time here.

LIVERPOOL 3-0 HUDDERSFIELD

86: Liverpool work it well around the Huddersfield box but the ball refuses to drop for Solanke in a promising position.

CRYSTAL PALACE 1-2 WEST HAM

83: Crystal Palace are knocking on the door, but Joe Hart is keeping them out. The England No.1 has made a couple of cracking saves to deny Milivojevic and Cabaye.

BOURNEMOUTH vs CHELSEA

Bournemouth XI: Begovic, Francis, Steve Cook, Ake, Adam Smith, Lewis Cook, Surman, Daniels, Stanislas, Afobe, Defoe.

Subs: Caballero, Drinkwater, Willian, Batshuayi, Cahill, Christensen, Ampadu.

Referee: Craig Pawson.

ARSENAL 2-1 SWANSEA

79: Arsenal absolutely bossing things now. Swansea look completely deflated having allowed a goal advantage to slip. Slight concern for Arsene Wenger as Sead Kolasinac hobbles off injured.

LIVERPOOL 3-0 HUDDERSFIELD - WIJNALDUM

76: Liverpool are rampant now. Gigi Wijnaldum receives the ball from Mo Salah, takes a few touches and lets rip. Pick of the goals for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

WATFORD 0-1 STOKE

67: Richarlison has a free header at the back post, he puts it wide after failing to connect properly. Let’s not forget that Watford are kings of the late goal. Sparky will be aware of that I’m sure…

WEST BROM 1-3 MANCHESTER CITY - STERLING

65: Spectacular build-up from Manchester City. Leroy Sane and David Silva exchange passes before slipping it to Kyle Walker, who crosses for Raheem Sterling to convert.

LIVERPOOL 2-0 HUDDERSFIELD

62: Save! Mohamed Salah, who I’ve made my Fantasy Football captain today, sees his shot tipped wide by Lossl. Could easily have been 3-0 to Jurgen Klopp’s side.

LIVERPOOL 2-0 HUDDERSFIELD - FIRMINO

57: Have the floodgates opened? It certainly looks that way.

Roberto Firmino adds his name to the tally after heading home James Milner’s inswinging corner.

ARSENAL 2-1 SWANSEA - RAMSEY

55: Boy, that escalated quickly!

Arsenal have completely turn things around at the Emirates inside five minutes!

Sead Kolasinac finds Aaron Ramsey, who scores inside Fabianski's near post. All change please, all change.

CRYSTAL PALACE 1-2 WEST HAM - MILIVOJEVIC (PEN)

53: Ogbonna clatters into Townsend inside the area and the referee points to the spot. Milivojevic steps up… converts! Roy Hodgson handed a lifeline.

ARSENAL 1-1 SWANSEA - KOLASINAC

51: The beast obliges! Thumping finish by the big Bosnian Sead Kolasinac after a scramble in the Swansea penalty area.

LIVERPOOL 1-0 HUDDERSFIELD - STURRIDGE

50: Daniel Sturridge gets a slice of luck and goes through on goal before dinking nicely in. I think it was Tommy Smith who deflected James Milner’s pass into his path.

WEST BROM 1-2 MANCHESTER CITY

50: Decent chance for the Baggies. Krychowiak sneaks in behind Walker but spurns the pass and Ederson gathers. Just the 79% possession for Pep Guardiola’s side today…

ARSENAL 0-1 SWANSEA

48: Not quite sure when Arsenal intend to turn up the heat, but it’s going to need to be soon. Swansea have only conceded once away from home this season.

45: And we’re back underway around the grounds folks. I’ll let you know any major substitutions shortly.

HT: ARSENAL 0-1 SWANSEA - CLUCAS

HT: LIVERPOOL 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

HT: WEST BROM 1-2 MANCHESTER CITY - SANE, RODRIGUEZ, FERNANDINHO

HT: WATFORD 0-1 STOKE - FLETCHER

HT: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-2 WEST HAM - HERNANDEZ, AYEW

********************************

ARSENAL 0-1 SWANSEA

45: How aren’t Swansea 2-0 ahead?! Ayew, Jordan not Andre who just scored, robs Mertesacker and shoots straight at Cech. Huge let off for the Gunners.

CRYSTAL PALACE 0-2 WEST HAM - AYEW

43: One becomes two for West Ham as Andre Ayew doubles West Ham’s advantage. It’s an absolute screamer as the forward smashes it home from 25-yards out.

LIVERPOOL 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD - SALAH MISSED PENALTY

41: Liverpool players weren’t even appealing when Smith pulled back Firmino inside the area, but it’s correctly been given.

Mo Salah steps up… saved! Lossl dives low and Jordan Henderson strikes the rebound against the bar.

ARSENAL 0-1 SWANSEA

39: Good to see Gareth Southgate in the stands today, shame Arsenal have no English players in the starting XI today… No real urgency in Arsenal’s play. They’ll need to get a lick on!

LIVERPOOL 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

36: Chance! Jordan Henderson finds James Milner inside the area but Lossl does well to save the low volley.

33: Looks like it’s advantage to all the away sides so far today folks. Except Huddersfield, but they’re doing alright at Anfield.

CRYSTAL PALACE 0-1 WEST HAM - HERNANDEZ

31: Looks like that victory over Tottenham has done West Ham some good. Crystal Palace fail to clear a corner and Javier Hernandez is there to power home from an Aaron Cresswell cutback.

WEST BROM 1-2 MANCHESTER CITY

28: It should be game, set and match at the Hawthorns, but David Silva isn’t exactly a heading machine. Kevin De Bruyne plays a wonderful cross over to the Spaniard, whose header is way off target.

ARSENAL 0-1 SWANSEA

25: Swansea's goal came from their first shot, and first touch in Arsenal's penalty area. Arsene Wenger looks very nervous.

ARSENAL 0-1 SWANSEA - CLUCAS

22: What?! Dear me. Swansea have scored with virtually their first attack of the afternoon. Tammy Abraham plays a delightful ball through to Sam Clucas, who slips it underneath the onrushing Petr Cech.

LIVERPOOL 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

22: It’s going to be a long afternoon at Anfield folks. The Terriers are sitting inside their own area and don’t look like leaving any time soon. No Philippe Coutinho to carve them apart today.

ARSENAL 0-0 SWANSEA

19: Still nothing from the Gunners. They are totally dominating things in North London, but they’re not doing much with it.

WATFORD 0-1 STOKE - FLETCHER

16: Darren Fletcher?! I didn’t think we’d be seeing his name on the scoresheet today. Anyway, Fletcher smashes home a Stoke corner from the edge of the box.

WEST BROM 1-2 MANCHESTER CITY - FERNANDINHO

15: What on earth is going on here! Manchester City have struck back instantly through Fernandinho. The midfielder strikes from distance, takes a deflection and it trickles into the net off the post.

WEST BROM 1-1 MANCHESTER CITY - RODRIGUEZ

13: Errrr… this wasn’t in the script!

West Brom have hit back instantly at the Hawthorns with Jay Rodriguez getting his name on the scoresheet.

Gareth Barry plays it forward to the former Southampton striker, who lifts it over Ederson.

WEST BROM 0-1 MANCHESTER CITY - SANE

11: It’s been coming… Tony Pulis’ experiment with three at the back fails to stop Manchester City and Leroy Sane.

David Silva plays it to Fernandinho, who threads it over to Sane to finish with style.

Incidentally, Sane has had a hand in 10 goals in his last seven Premier League games for Man City (6 goals, 4 assists).

CRYSTAL PALACE 0-0 WEST HAM

12: It’s exactly what you would have expected. Two sides struggling with confidence, both scared to lose and lacking quality.

LIVERPOOL 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

10: No attacking intent from Huddersfield. They’re just absorbing everything and challenging Liverpool to break them down. I wonder if the Wagner/Klopp friendship will be as strong after 90 minutes.

WEST BROM 0-0 MANCHESTER CITY

7: Despite Tony Pulis saying West Brom would try something different, it’s looking very much like the same side. Delph tries his luck from around 25 yards but he’s drilled it wide.

ARSENAL 0-0 SWANSEA

5: Not a lot happening so far. Arsenal seeing more possession with Swansea happy to sit deep and break whenever possible. I should mention there’s tons of empty seats in the Emirates today. Cant imagine that’s got anything to do with the shareholders meeting earlier this week.

LIVERPOOL 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

1: Well that was quick. Dejan Lovren’s week has taken another turn for the worse. The centre-back picked up an injury after 35 seconds and has been replaced by Ragnar Klavan.

UNDERWAY!

1: We’re off folks. Can Arsenal pick up from where they left off against Everton? Or will Swansea spoil the party?
