Chelsea Manager Maurizio Sarri says he's really happy with Ruben Loftus Cheek ahead of their Premier League clash against Bournemouth

Life at Stamford Bridge has started very promisingly for Maurizio Sarri, who has guided Chelsea to three wins in their opening Premier League matches.

Chelsea, however, will not be taking Bournemouth lightly, having lost to them twice at home in their last three league meetings in west London.

Eddie Howe could hand Jefferson Lerma his Premier League debut and will welcome back Adam Smith, who returns from suspension, as they look to maintain their unbeaten start.

We'll have all the latest from Stamford Bridge and around the Premier League:

FULL TIME: Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle United 

City win once again and move onto 10 points but it was not as comfortable as it normally is for the Citizens. 

The better players shone through though and goals from Sterling and Walker give City the three points. 

Newcastle scored a good goal of their own from Deandre Yedlin but it wasn't enough to get a point. 

A more than respectable result for the Toon Army but it is still only one point from four matches even though they'll think they should have accumulated a few more.

They've now played against Spurs, Chelsea and City and not lost by more than one against any of them.
