Follow the latest updates live from the Premier League clash between Everton and Brighton and Hove Albion as Carlo Ancelotti’s side look to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season.

Everton have been one of the form teams in the country so far, winning all six of their matches in all competitions and making it three from three last weekend, in which Dominic Calvert-Lewin continued his goalscoring run before netting a hat-trick in the midweek Carabao Cup victory over West Ham.

Ancelotti does have a number of injury concerns on his hands though, including summer signing Allan, and Brighton will fancy their chances of an upset after resting the bulk of their squad during the week. Follow the live updates below.

Pep Guardiola is smiling throughout his post game interview. He clearly enjoyed the game even if Man City didn’t win. 

Are they losing the ruthlessness that he built in his first couple of seasons at the club?

Ederson was at fault for Man City conceding tonight but then he also had to make six saves to keep City in the game.

More defensive frailties for Man City?

We’ll bring you the reaction from Elland Road but for now our focus goes to St. James’ Park. 

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce makes four changes to the side that drew 1-1 at Tottenham.

Captain Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Ritchie are out with injuries with Miguel Almiron and Javier Manquillo dropping to the bench.

Allan Saint-Maximin returns after a three-match absence with an ankle problem, while Emil Krafth, Fabian Schar and Jamal Lewis all start.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche makes two changes to the side that started their 1-0 home defeat to Southampton.

Jimmy Dunne and Matej Vydra drop to the bench as Ashley Barnes and James Tarkowski make their first Premier League starts of the campaign.

90+3 mins: Full time. The points are shared, Leeds dug deep and found a way back into the match. Ederson’s poor clearance allowinf Rodrigo to latch onto the ball and equalise for the home side. 

More questions for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. Benjamin Mendy had a tough time tonight, could we see a new left-bck at the Etihad before the end of the transfer window?

90 mins: Three minutes added time. Three more minutes of carnage.

89 mins: Bernardo puts a corner into the box for City, it skips through and Rodrigo loses possession. De Bruyne receives it out on the left and he sends it into the box. Sterling gets to the ball but heads it wide.

87 mins: Sterling goes down and wants a penalty but he doesn’t get one. It might not matter as Foden is played down the left wing. Sterling is wide open in the middle but the pass is intercepted by Meslier.

84 mins: Sterling comes close again for City, he works the ball onto his right foot and tries to curl one into the top corner but it goes wide.

81 mins: Bernardo Silva is played into the box. He shoots as Davis slides in and the ball hits the defenders arm. City want a penalty but the new interpretations of the new rules don’t reward them.
