54 mins: GOAL! Watford 2-0 Brighton (Roberto Pereyra)
It's a second goal for Pereyra, and he doesn't score tap ins! Beautiful skill and trickery on the left hand side, he cuts in and shoots on his right, leaving Ryan in the Brighton goal helpless. Two for Brighton, two for Pereyra and that could be game over in this one.

We are reaching the 70 minute mark in the 3pm kick offs, and it's a big 20 minutes for newcomers Cardiff and Fulham who both trail by a single goal. These the kind of games they'll need to win if they are to collate a decent points tally by the end of the season
80 mins: GOAL! Huddersfield 0-3 Chelsea (Pedro)
Substitute Hazard darts forward, takes on three players, passes to Pedro who finishes well. Job done for Chelsea, who have looked impressive.
79 mins: GOAL! Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace (Wilfried Zaha)
Just as we say how important this last 20 minutes would be for new boys Fulham, it's Palace that double their advantage and probably have this one wrapped up now. Zaha with the finish under Fabri and he has been key today, and will play a huge part in the campaign for Palace.
