37 mins: GOAL! BURNLEY 2 LIVERPOOL 0:
Burnley double their lead at Turf Moor! New record signing Steven Defour won the ball in midfield, and then sent Andre Gray away down the right-wing. The one-time non-league striker proved he's a man for this level, stepping inside James Milner and then Ragnar Klaven before firing low past Simon Mignolet.
79 mins: GOAL! SWANSEA 0 HULL 1:
Just six minutes after coming on, Shaun Maloney has poked Hull City into the lead at Swansea! The diminutive forward was in the right place at the right time to force the ball over the line from close range after Curtis Davies had a flicked on a right wing corner. Are the Tigers heading for another victory?
80 mins: GOAL! WATFORD 1 CHELSEA 1:
Chelsea level it up up at Watford, and it's their new £33m man, Michy Batshuayi, off the bench and in the goals. On as a substitute for Oscar, the Belgian was in the right place to mop up and equalise after Heurelho Gomes had failed to hold Eden Hazard's fizzing low drive from outside the penalty area. Ten minutes remain, can either team find a winner?
45 mins: There will be one additional minute before we endure a half-time break full of slow motion replays of that one incident.
67 mins: Claudio Ranieri makes a second change, and it's like for like as Leonardo Ulloa takes over from Okazaki in attack. Can the gangly Argentine help his team to victory?
70 mins: A sight of goal for Jamie Vardy...but the striker fires wide of the near post! The Leicester forward was on to the ball in an instance after Koscielny failed to deal with Albrighton's through ball, but great determination from the Frenchman to get back and make amends was enough to put Vardy off his stride, and the result was another off-target effort.
73 mins: A double substitution for Arsenal. Granit Xhaka's Premier League debut is over and, along with Santi Cazorla, he will be replaced by Mesut Ozil and Jack Wilshere. It's a bold move from Arsene Wenger, will it pay dividends?
