Good afternoon and welcome to today’s Premier League coverage, with seven matches on the schedule.

There are five afternoon fixtures first up. Liverpool host Fulham and Chelsea take on high-flying Hull, while Aston Villa face Nottingham Forest in an all-Midlands clash.

At Anfield, Bradley Barcola has been handed his first Premier League start. Here is how the Reds line up this afternoon.

Chelsea entertain third-placed Hull in west London today. Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers return to the starting XI after their impact off the bench against Leeds in midweek.

There is one change for Villa, with Ross Barkley replacing the suspended Joao Gomes. Daniel Muñoz makes his Nottingham Forest debut.

A reminder of today’s fixtures. How do you see these contests playing out through the evening?

Just how vital are these three to Chelsea? They have combined for eight goals and seven assists in all competitions this season.

Liverpool also carry an in-form attack into this game. How will Barcola fit in?

KICK OFF

The first five matches of the day are under way.

Bournemouth v Brentford has begun at a lively pace, and Keane Lewis-Potter curls an effort just wide of the bottom corner.

Hull show their threat against Chelsea as Mohamed Belloumi charges forward and sees his shot deflected wide.

GOOOAL CHELSEA!

Morgan Rogers continues his sensational start for the Blues. Chelsea break from a corner, Joao Pedro finds Rogers on the edge of the box, and the in-form attacker places his finish into the bottom corner.

CHANCE LIVERPOOL

Alexander Isak brings down a pass from Barcola, but the Swedish striker drags his shot across goal.

OFF THE LINE

Alisson gives the ball away to Fulham and Liverpool are nearly punished, but Gonzalo Garcia’s goal-bound effort is hacked clear from the line.

What a season the English playmaker is having so far.

CHANCE CHELSEA

A huge opening for Pedro Neto, who pokes narrowly wide from point-blank range.

OFF THE POST

Things get scrappy at Villa Park as Pau Torres’ effort is tipped on to the post, and the hosts cannot turn in the rebound.

GOOOAL PALACE

The Eagles take the lead and Anan Khalaili scores his first Palace goal, his deflected effort nestling in the bottom corner.

CHANCE PALACE

The home side are on top and Jorgen Strand-Larsen’s fierce half-volley is saved by Kjell Scherpen.

CHANCE CHELSEA

The Blues could already have had a few. Neto’s first-time strike is punched away by Konstantinos Tzolakis.

OFF THE BAR!

So nearly for Victor Munoz, whose header from six yards crashes against the crossbar.

GOOAL IPSWICH

The Tractor Boys draw level at Selhurst, with Emmerson left unmarked to head home from close range.

CHANCE FOREST

Morgan Gibbs-White gets into a dangerous area for the first time and fires a stinging shot straight at Zion Suzuki.

GOOOAL HULL!

Hull’s dream run continues as Beloumi finds the net with a low finish into the corner to bring the Tigers level. Game on.

Florian Wirtz looks to spark Liverpool and sends an unthreatening shot from 20 yards harmlessly wide.

CHANCE HULL

What a warning for Chelsea as Hull’s Lewie Coyle drills towards goal, but it takes a deflection and goes wide.

GOOOAL HULL!

Hull have scored again and Beloumi has his second of the afternoon. His strike from the edge of the area takes a huge deflection, wrong-foots Martinez and puts the Tigers ahead.

Not a statistic Alonso will want to see...

GOOAL BRENTFORD

Kevin Schade gives the visitors the lead against Bournemouth. The midfielder gets his head to an excellent delivery and the effort goes in off the post.

RED CARD

Palace are down to 10 men against Ipswich as Axel Disasi is sent off for a heavy, studs-up challenge on Jack Clarke.

GOOAL BOURNEMOUTH

Brentford’s advantage lasts only a few minutes as Bournemouth level through Justin Kluivert’s powerful low finish.

GOOAL IPSWICH

Ipswich complete the turnaround and Leif Davis puts the visitors ahead with a simple close-range finish.

HALF TIME: Liverpool 0-0 Fulham

HALF TIME: Chelsea 1-2 Hull

A difficult half for Chelsea. Can they respond?

HALF TIME: Villa 0-0 Forest

HALF TIME: Palace 1-2 Ipswich

HALF TIME: Bournemouth 1-1 Brentford

Ipswich have made the extra man count. Leif Davis has been the key figure in south London.

Hull are dreaming thanks to Beloumi’s brace.

SECOND HALF

The second halves are now under way across all five matches.

Villa’s attacking problems continue.

GOOOAL FOREST

The deadlock is broken in the Midlands as Liam Delap rifles an absolute rocket into the bottom corner for Forest. A superb strike.

Isak works half a yard inside the Fulham area and shoots straight at Bernd Leno.

CHANCE BOURNEMOUTH

Kluivert is full of confidence after his first-half equaliser, and his fierce 25-yard strike is tipped over by Caoimhin Kelleher.

Chelsea continue to chase an equaliser against Hull, and Konstantinos Tzolakis keeps out two Reece James efforts.

GOOOAL BOURNEMOUTH

The Cherries come from behind to lead Brentford. Evanilson tees up Marcus Tavernier, who lashes home an excellent finish.

Delap is off the mark for Forest at Villa Park.

GOOAL BRENTFORD

An end-to-end contest is developing at the Gtech, and the Bees draw level through Kevin Schade’s second, a composed chipped finish.

The team news is in for Spurs v Everton. Richarlison is missing from the Spurs squad, while there is no place for Grealish in the Everton starting XI.

Tottenham XI: Kinsky; Gray, Van de Ven, Van Hecke, Udogie; Tonali, Bentancur, Fernandes; Savio, Solankem, Marmoush.

Everton XI: Pickford; Maitland-Niles, Tarkowski, Brathwaite, Mykolenko; Armstrong, Garner; Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, George; Barry.

GOOOAL CHELSEA

Chelsea finally have their equaliser. Joao Pedro applies an emphatic finish to complete a devastating move created by Cole Palmer.

GOAL DISALLOWED

Delap has a second Forest goal chalked off for offside.

Chelsea are on top once more and Palmer’s powerful 25-yard strike flies just wide of the post.

Liverpool appeal for a penalty after Alexis MacAliister goes down inside the Fulham area, but nothing is given.

GOOOAL ASTON VILLA

The Villans have been under sustained pressure in the second half but are back in it as Alysson scores his first goal for the club with a glancing header.

CHANCES CHELSEA

Reece James’ long-range effort is saved comfortably before Palmer clips over from just inside the area. Can the Blues find a winner?

GOOOAL PALACE

Ten-man Palace are level, and Jorgen Stand-Larsen rifles an unstoppable strike into the bottom corner for his third goal in two games.

John McGinn reaches a milestone and set up Alysson’s equaliser.

Palmer makes another telling contribution on his 100th Chelsea appearance.

CHANCE HULL

Mohamed-Ali Cho meets a cross from four yards out but cannot beat Martinez. A massive chance to win it.

CHANCE LIVERPOOL

Isak rises highest to meet a corner, but his glancing header lacks direction.

GOOOAL FOREST

Daniel Munoz’s cross is met by Igor Jesus, who flicks the ball into the net with a clever finish.

FULL TIME: Liverpool 0-0 Fulham

GOOOAL IPSWICH

Surely that is the winner. Substitute Zian Flemming reacts first to a loose ball in the box and tucks it beyond Benitez.

FULL TIME: Chelsea 2-2 Hull

FULL TIME: Villa 1-2 Forest

FULL TIME: Bournemouth vs Brentford

FULL TIME: Palace 2-3 Ipswich

Another unconvincing defensive showing from Chelsea.

Here we go...

Our 5:30pm kick-off between Spurs and Everton is moments away. The teams are out in north London.

KICK OFF!

We are under way between Tottenham and Everton.

CHANCE!

A Spurs free-kick ends with Jan Paul van Hecke firing just wide.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton

A quiet start to proceedings...

There has been little to note in the opening 10 minutes. Spurs have dominated possession but are yet to register a shot on target.

Everton have not even managed an attempt on goal yet.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton

Half an hour gone...

Still no goals. Neither side has had a shot on target, although Everton have grown into the contest a little.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton

CHANCE!

Robertson opts to shoot instead of crossing, but Pickford saves it. That is the home side’s best opening so far.

HT: Tottenham 0-0 Everton

KICK OFF!

The home side start the second half.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton

CLEARANCE!

George looks for Johnson’s run with a dangerous cross, but Van de Ven is alert and clears. Everton win a corner, which leads to another corner, and that too is cleared.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton

Past the hour mark...

It remains goalless. The hosts make a flurry of changes.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton

HUGE CHANCE!

Antonín Kinský switches off and passes straight to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, but the Everton player cannot find the net. A huge let-off for Spurs.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton

WIDE!

A big chance for the visitors. Dewsbury-Hall pulls it back for Johnson, but the former Spurs man miskicks and sends it wide. A very good opening.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton

SAVE!

Pickford gives the ball away and Bergvall aims for the bottom corner. The Everton goalkeeper makes up for the error with a touch that turns it behind for a corner.

Into added time...

There will be three additional minutes at the end of the second half.

FT: Tottenham 0-0 Everton

Spurs are still yet to get going this season.

In case you missed it, here is how Sunderland and Arsenal will line up on Wearside...

Thirty minutes to kick-off at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland host Premier League holders Arsenal.

Less than ten minutes remain before Sunderland v Arsenal, with both teams set to emerge from the tunnel.

Will this prove to be a stumble for Arsenal, or can the Gunners push on and make it four wins from four?

And we are under way on Wearside.

It has been one-way traffic in the opening five-plus minutes, with Arsenal in complete control as they look for an early breakthrough.

CHANCE!

Bukayo Saka comes within inches of opening the scoring.

The England international does not make clean contact with Declan Rice’s lofted ball into the area, and Robin Roefs gathers comfortably.

CHANCE!

Dan Ballard almost gives the hosts the lead against his former club, but his diving effort at the back post deflects wide of David Raya’s goal.

CHANCE!

Arsenal have now passed up two glorious chances to score first, with Kai Havertz blazing over at the near post when he really should have finished.

CHANCE!

Can Arteta tweak things to bring the Greek winger more into the game?

Although Christos Tzolis has started life at Arsenal well, the Gunners are funnelling much of their play down the right through the Saka-White combination.

CHANCE!

Havertz goes close again.

The German controls the ball in the box, spins and hits a half-volley from close range, but Roef tips it over for an Arsenal corner.

...which comes to nothing.

There is just one minute of added time at the Stadium of Light, and Arsenal appear set to make a change at the interval after Ben White seems to have picked up a knock he cannot run off.

Jurriën Timber is likely to replace him.

HALF-TIME

Sunderland have kept Arsenal out over the opening 45 minutes, and the teams go into the break locked at 0-0.

CHANCE!

Arteta makes a double change just before the restart, including Bruno Guimarães, who faces Sunderland for the first time since moving from Newcastle.

PENALTY!!!

Ezri Konsa is judged to have pulled Dan Ballard down at the near post.

DENIED!!!!

David Raya produces a magnificent save to keep out Enzo Le Fée.

GOAL!!! SUNDERLAND 0-1 ARSENAL

Bruno Guimarães comes back to haunt Sunderland.

The former Newcastle midfield star unleashes a brilliant long-range strike to break the deadlock just moments after Sunderland had a penalty saved.

Le Bris responds with an attacking substitution as Sunderland try to force their way back into the match.

CHANCE!

Tzolis and Ødegaard combine to send Arsenal away on the break, but...

CHANCE!

Another attacking switch from Sunderland sees summer signing Malick Fofana introduced.

He nearly helps create an equaliser immediately.

He surges into the final third and cuts the ball back across goal, but after a scramble in the box the Black Cats cannot apply the finish and Arsenal eventually clear.

CHANCE!

Arsenal now make a double substitution.

Sunderland come very close to levelling through an acrobatic effort from Nordi Mukiele.

CHANCE!

Raya comes up big again for Arsenal, this time denying Mukiele from close range with a one-touch effort for the second time.

Sunderland are really pushing now.

CHANCE!

One final change from the champions.

There will be a sizeable six minutes of added time here.

Is there one more huge moment left from either team?

Reinildo is sent off after picking up his second booking.

PENALTY!

Saka is brought down in the area as Arsenal break forward looking to finish the contest.

GOAL! SUNDERLAND 0-2 ARSENAL

Saka converts from the spot to put the outcome beyond doubt.

Roef gets a hand to it, but the Dutchman cannot keep it out.

The champions will take all three points tonight.

FULL TIME: SUNDERLAND 0-2 ARSENAL
