Good morning and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of the Premier League as West Bromwich host promoted Middlesbrough and West Ham travel to Manchester City.
Yesterday, Chelsea and Manchester United maintained their 100 per cent records in the Premier League as Leicester and Arsenal celebrated maiden victories on Saturday.
First-half goals from Eden Hazard and Willian put Chelsea in charge against Burnley at Stamford Bridge before Victor Moses made absolutely certain of victory a minute from time.
That made it three wins out of three for Antonio Conte's side and took them clear at the top of the table, but only until United's dramatic last-gasp victory against Hull in the late game.
Hull's David Meyler looked to have squandered the last clear chance of the game at the KCOM Stadium when he fired over, but Jose Mourinho's side broke free at the other end and Wayne Rooney slid the ball back from the by-line for substitute Marcus Rashford to tap home from close range and reward their relentless pressure.
However, Mahrez saw his effort saved by Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and Leroy Fer pulled a goal back 10 minutes from time to set up a nervous finish for the Foxes.
Arsenal eased the pressure on manager Arsene Wenger with a 3-1 win at Watford which was effectively sealed before the interval at Vicarage Road.
Santi Cazorla opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 10 minutes and Alexis Sanchez doubled the lead five minutes before half-time.
Mesut Ozil then rubbed salt into Watford's wounds with a third in first-half stoppage time and although substitute Roberto Pereyra pulled one back after 57 minutes, Arsenal comfortably secured all three points.
David Moyes secured his first point as Sunderland manager with a 1-1 draw at Southampton, but will have been disappointed not to have claimed all three at St Mary's.
Jermain Defoe gave the visitors the lead from the penalty spot after 80 minutes but the Black Cats could not hold on to their advantage for long, with substitute Jay Rodriguez equalising five minutes later - his first Premier League goal in more than two years after serious injuries.
