STILL TO COME:

FULL TIME! ARSENAL 1-1 MAN CITY

A dramatic finale at the Emirates as Arsenal return to second in the table but are five points behind leaders Liverpool. Mikel Arteta will still be happy with his side's hard-fought point after breaking down a resolute City.

GOAL! ARSENAL 1-1 MAN CITY

There is a late twist! The hosts snatch a leveller against the run of play with Martinelli lobbing Donnarumma

There'll be seven minutes of stoppages at the Emirates. Is there a late twist ahead?

Arsenal are continuing to knock on the door but they aren't able to find a way past City's statuesque defence and Donnarumma, who's just been booked timewasting incidentally

CHANCE!

Doku launches a counterattack and sets Haaland up for an effort but it's straight at Raya

CHANCE!

Another half-cleared City cross falls for Eze to meet on the half-volley but Donnarumma is able to palm it away

CHANCE!

Saka having an early impact with a cross which isn't fully cleared by City and breaks for Zubimendi but his effort is narrowly off target

SECOND HALF!

Off we go again.

City also make changes with Nunes on in place of an injured Khusanov

Arsenal set to ring the changes with Eze and a returning Saka replacing Madueke and Merino

HALF TIME! ARSENAL 0-1 MAN CITY

Mikel Arteta's men grew into the half but still can't find a way past Donnarumma. The visitors have held onto their lead quite well given the late onslaught.

CHANCE!

Madueke goes for Donnarumma's near post with a shot but the City stopper is equal to it with a decent stop

We've got four minutes of added time at the end of the first half. Will the hosts be able to draw level?

CHANCE!

Arsenal continuing to turn the tide as Madueke hits the byline for a cross which is clawed away by Donnarumma before Calafiori's shot is skied over

CHANCE!

Madueke wins a corner with a shot that's deflected wide but the follow-up header from Saliba after another Donnarumma punch clear is off target.

SAVE!

Donnarumma needing to punch clear a second Arsenal corner as it's sent in by Rice

CHANCE!

It's still all City at the moment as Reijnders forces a good stop from Raya

GOAL! ARSENAL 0-1 MAN CITY

The visitors take the lead with Haaland slotting home from a good pass by Reijnders

KICK OFF!

We're underway at the Emirates

FULL TIME! BOURNEMOUTH 0-0 NEWCASTLE

Eddie Howe remains winless in the Premier League against his former side, but it's a solid point for both sides.

Neither did enough to win it in truth.

FULL TIME! SUNDERLAND 1-1 ASTON VILLA

A great point for the 10-men Black Cats, who stay unbeaten at home this season after Wilson Isidor's late equaliser.

Unai Emery will be hugely disappointed his side couldn't hold on for the win after Matty Cash's opener. They remain without a league victory.

Watkins heads straight at Roefs from close range.

He's ruled offside after, but the Villa striker didn't know that.

BIG SAVE!

Justin Kluivert fires in a low, hard free-kick from the edge of the box that Nick Pope does well to turn away.

Into added time in both games.

Will we see a winner in either?

Nick Woltemade is off after a quiet afternoon for Newcastle, with William Osula on in his place.

Howe will surely be asked after why neither Bruno Guimarães or Joelinton have played here.

CLOSE!

Harvey Elliott curls just wide of the far post.

Jadon Sancho is on for his Villa Premier League debut.

Can he mark it with the winner?

Now can we get a goal at the Vitality??

Just the two shots on target so far, with less than 15 minutes to go.

GOOOOAL! SUNDERLAND ARE LEVEL!!!!

Amazing.

Wilson Isidor has done it again at the Stadium of Light, reacting quickest to Granit Xhaka's header into the box to poke the ball home.

He's now scored in all three home league games for Sunderland this season.

The 10 men are level!

By our maths, Villa had not scored for 534 Premier League minutes before Cash's strike.

That includes the end of last season.

It wouldn't be a surprised if they got another quickly here on the break as 10-man Sunderland chase an equaliser.

GOOOOAL! CASH GIVES VILLA THE LEAD!

The long wait is over, and what a way to do it.

Matty Cash was involved in the red card and now he's broke the deadlock, smacking one in from all of 30 yards out.

Roefs really should have done better, but Emery will not care one bit.

Changes for both sides at the Vitality.

Jacob Murphy and Joe Willock are off for Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes as Newcastle go in search of a goal.

Double change for Bournemouth too, with Alex Scott and David Brooks being replaced by Justin Kluivert and Ryan Christie.

Will Eddie Howe join him in making changes soon?

He has several big guns on the bench.

Unai Emery brings on Harvey Elliott and Ian Maatsen as he looks to find the breakthrough.

Lucas Digne and Emi Buendía make way.

OFF THE BAR!!

Sunderland are down to 10 but they've come closest to scoring here.

Villa can't deal with their balls into the box and Omar Alderete's looping header bounces off the bar and away to safety.

There's always a stat!

BACK UNDER WAY!

Will this half bring goals?

Arsenal vs. Manchester City surely will, and teams will be confirmed in just 10 minutes.

HALF TIME!

Let's hope for better after the break in our two games.

We could really do with a goal in one of these games.

It's been a dull first-half outside of Reinildo's red.

Chris Rigg is the unlucky player to be taken off with defender Dan Ballard on.

It was the 18-year-old's first Premier League start but needs must for Régis Le Bris.

RED CARD FOR SUNDERLAND!

Reinildo has been sent off for a kick out at Matty Cash from the ground.

So needless from the Sunderland defender, and is that the boost Villa needed?

Massive moment at the Stadium of Light.

Villa have had 50 attempts on goal since they last scored in the Premier League.

Their last goal was scored by Boubacar Kamara in a 2-0 win over Spurs on May 16th.

Over four months and over five games without one now.

Ollie Watkins is denied at point-blank range by a brilliant stop from Robin Roefs.

The Villa striker is ruled offside right away but the keeper did not know that.

Ezri Konsa does well to block Wilson Isidor's attempt at goal.

It's been a slow start here, with Villa yet to have a touch in the Sunderland box.

Will they ever score again?

GOAL RULED OUT FOR BOURNEMOUTH!

David Brooks has the ball in the net after tapping in Evanilson's cross across the box.

However, he's about a yard offside and the goal is ruled out.

Lively start on the south coast.

CLOSE!

Jacob Murphy has Newcastle's first chance, firing at Đorđe Petrović from close range.

The winger started a lovely quick move but couldn't find the finish.

Pope has now been tested, making a kicked save from Tyler Adams' low drive.

Not much to report from the Stadium of Light so far with neither side getting the ball down and playing as yet.

Bournemouth have dominated the early proceedings against a much-changed Newcastle side but have yet to test Nick Pope.

UNDER WAY!

And we're off.

Moments away from kick off at the Stadium of Light and Vitality Stadium.

Comment away with your score predictions!

Despite losing several key players in the summer, Iraola has masterminded a brilliant start to the season.

A late loss in a thriller at Anfield has been followed by three wins, and his side will go second with a win here.

Eddie Howe has not beaten Bournemouth in the six league games he has faced them in, with their most recent clash seeing a 4-1 win for Andoni Iraola's Cherries.

He's won in the EFL Cup against his old side, but could today be the day he ends his league hoodoo?

The last time Sunderland and Villa met in a league game it was 2018 and the division was the Championship.

The Black Cats suffered a second consecutive relegation that season while Villa failed to earn promotion back to the top flight.

Both clubs have come a long way since.

Will this be the day Villa get their first Premier League goal of the season?

Harvey Elliott got their one and only goal in the EFL Cup loss to Brentford but finds himself on the bench here.

Howe has made a surprising seven changes to his side with Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton dropping out among others.

Arsenal vs. Manchester City is our headline act today but there are two very enticing clashes before.

Eddie Howe and Newcastle will be looking to bounce back from their midweek loss to Barcelona as they take on his former side Bournemouth.

Their North-East rivals Sunderland take on winless and goalless Aston Villa aiming to make it three wins from three at the Stadium of Light on their return to the top flight.
