At long last, the Premier League is back!

Join us for live coverage of Saturday’s 3pm kick-offs, after Liverpool earlier entertained Manchester United at Old Trafford.

A number of the big boys are in action, with Manchester City hosting Stoke and defending champions Chelsea travelling to struggling Crystal Palace.

Tottenham Hotspur will meanwhile be hoping to end their Wembley curse against Bournemouth, while in-form Burnley will be confident of picking up three points against West Ham.

And then there’s Swansea City vs Huddersfield, with the home side needing a win to climb out of the bottom three.

Follow all of the live action below.

Manchester City 0-0 Stoke

Leroy Sane gets on the end of a Kevin De Bruyne cross just outside the six-yard box. He has time to take a touch but smacks the ball over the crossbar with his second touch. What an opportunity.

GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-0 Chelsea (Cabaye)

11' - Crystal Palace take the lead at Selhurst Park through Yohan Cabaye (well, it might well go down as a Cesar Azpilicueta own-goal). It's only taken them eight matches but the Eagles have finally scored their first Premier League goal of the season!

GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 Stoke (Jesus)

17' - Kyle Walker intercepts a Darren Fletcher pass in the middle of the park before sending Kevin De Bruyne away down the right wing. The Belgian bides his time before picking out Gabriel Jesus in the box and the Brazilian forward does the rest, slotting the ball past Jack Butland.

GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-1 Chelsea (Bakayoko)

18' - Tiemoue Bakayoko equalises for Chelsea at Selhurst Park, heading the ball home from a Cesc Fabregas cross.

GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 Stoke (Sterling)

19' - Kevin de Bruyne finds Leroy Sane in bags of space in a threatening position and the German rolls the ball to Raheem Sterling, who has a tap-in from six yards. This could be a long afternoon for the Potters.

GOAL! Burnley 0-1 West Ham (Antonio)

19' - West Ham's Michail Antonio pounces on a big mistake in the heart of the Burnley defence to put the Hammers ahead at Turf Moor.

Ben Mee and James Tarkowski both go up to clear a Joe Hart goal-kick but both miss the ball and Antonio gets in behind them before rounding Nick Pope and slotting the ball into an empty net.

GOAL! Manchester City 3-0 Stoke (David Silva)

27' - City could be on for a cricket score at the Etihad. Another beautiful goal involving Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling ends with the mercurial David Silva slotting City into a three-goal lead. They'll top the table come the end of day's play, of that there's no doubt.

Red card at Turf Moor!

27' - Andy Carroll has been sent off for West Ham at Burnley for two bookable offences. The England striker was cautioned after 25 minutes for catching James Tarkowski with a flailing arm and took just two minutes to pick up another booking for the same offence but this time on Ben Mee.

West Ham still lead by a goal to nil but will have to play the remainder of the match with 10 men.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Chelsea

Victor Moses limps off with a hamstring injury and is replaced by Davide Zappacosta at Selhurst Park.

That's not good news for Antonio Conte, who is already without N'Golo Kante, Alvaro Morata and Danny Drinkwater due to injury.
