Full time: Manchester City 3-0 Burnley

Sergio Aguero, Nicolas Otamendi and Leroy Sane kept the Etihad scoreboard operator on his or her toes during another easy day at the office for Manchester City.

Full time: Newcastle 1-0 Crystal Palace

Mikel Merino’s late goal was enough to separate the sides at St James’s Park. Newcastle take all three points.

Full time: Stoke 1-2 Bournemouth

Eddie Howe masterminds Bournemouth’s first away win of the season, as Stoke lose again.

Full time: Huddersfield Town 2-1 Man United

Manchester United’s unbeaten league record goes at the John Smith’s Stadium, where Huddersfield have hung on to win courtesy of goals from Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre. Marcus Rashford’s late consolation was not enough.

Updated

Full-time: Swansea 1-2 Leicester City

Michael Appleton makes it one win from one match as Leicester City caretaker manager.

Derby County double their lead: The Rams make it 2-0 against a Sheffield Wednesday side that has been playing with 10 men since the fourth minute.

Cardiff City go ahead: Joe Ralls has put Cardiff ahead against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

Two red cards at Ashton Gate: Headbutts are exchanged between Leeds United’s Gaetano Beradi and Bristol City’s Matt Taylor and the pair are given their marching orders. It remains Bristol City 0-3 Leeds United.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Crystal Palace (Merino)

It's all going on in the Championship

Having trailed Sunderland 3-1 at half-time, Brentford have levelled the scores with a goal scored courtesy of a hideous deflection. It’s Brentford 3-3 Sunderland.

At the City Ground, Nottingham Forest have doubled their lead against Burton Albion and lead 2-0 after 80 minutes.

Intriguingly, having looked home and hosed after going 3-0 up against Preston at Molineux, Wolves are making their fans sweat. A Conor Coady own goal means the deficit has been reduced to just one goal: Wolves 3-2 Preston.

Hull have gone ahead at Barnsley, with Leonid Slutsky’s team taking the lead through a scrambled effort by substitute Fraizer Campbell.

And Bolton’s search for their second successive win of the season has hit a snag after they let QPR make it 1-1 at the Macron Stadium.

GOAL! Stoke City 1-2 Bournemouth (Diouf)

Mame Biram Diouf pulls a goal back for Stoke City. That’s his third goal in as many games for his side, who are attempting to take advantage of the windy conditions at the Britannia Stadium by bringing on Peter Crouch, their own windmill in human form.

Scottish fitba correspondence: “Afternoon Barry,” writres Simon McMahon. “A somewhat niche email this may be, but for anyone interested in Scotland’s match of the day, at half time it’s Dundee United 0-2 Inverness. United lucky to have nil. The natives are getting restless at Tannadice.

Aston Villa retake the lead: In the Championship, Albert Adomah makes it Aston Villa 2-1 Fulham on 49 minutes. At Griffin Park, it’s turning into quite the thriller between Brentford and Sunderland. The visitors led 3-1 at the break, but Florian Jozefzoon has thrown Brentford a lifeline.

Jose Mourinho rings the changes

With his side trailing Huddersfield Town 2-0 at half-time, Jose Mourinho hooking Juan Mata and Anthony Martial. Marcus Rashford and Henrik Mkhitarian replace them. United have used all three of their substitutes, after Phil Jones was forced off with injury in the first half and replaced with Victor Lindelof, who immediately cost his team a goal.

At Bramall Lane, Sheffield United have just doubled their lead against Reading, with Billy Sharp nabbing his fifth of the season.

GOAL! Huddersfield Town 2-0 Man Utd (Depoitre 33)

No, really. Huddersfield double their lead against Manchester United, following an appalling piece of defending from Victor Lindelof, who had just come on for the injured Phil Jones. Lindelof misjudged the flight of a long ball, completely missed it with his attempted clearance and allowed Laurent Depoitre in behind him to score. Jose Mourinho won’t be enjoying this.

GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 Burnley (Aguero 30pen)

Sergio Aguero scores his 177th goal for Manchester City to become the club’s joint top scorer, alongside Eric Brook. It was a soft penalty - Bernardo Silvo appeared to dive under a challenge from Nick Pope, prompting a bit of a scuffle that led to Leroy Sane and Jeff Hendrick getting booked. Once the situation had been diffused, Aguero made no mistake.

Today’s three o’clock kick-offs are just moments away. Who’ll be first to score in the Premier League? I’m plumping for Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to bag one early doors for Stoke in their match against Bournemouth.

Meanwhile at Stamford Bridge ...

Having been two goals down against a Watford side that squandered several opportunities to wrap up the game, Chelsea have just triumphed 4-2 at Stamford Bridge. Michy Batshuayi came off the bench to make it 2-2, before Cesar Azpilicueta headed Chelsea into the lead. Batshuayi popped up again deep in injury time to give Chelsea a two-goal winning margin that looked most unlikely 30 minutes ago.

Today's Premier League fixtures

Chelsea are currently entertaining Watford at Stamford Bridge, where it’s currently 2-1 to Marco Silva’s visitors after 55 minutes. They came from a goal down to go ahead and should have put the game well beyond a Chelsea team that is defending very poorly. Two missed sitters (and I mean sitters) have kept the champions in the game. Here are the rest of today’s top flight match-ups.
