Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool

Well that had Liverpool hearts in mouths for a moment. Tavernier punted a lofted ball towards goal, Alisson left it, and mercifully it sailed wide.

Three changes for the Cherries.

Two changes for Liverpool

Two changes from Iraola - Munoz and Nyoni are on for Barcola and Wirtz. I assume that will make them slightly more defensive. Nyoni was in a holding midfield role in midweek.

Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool

That's a super slide tackle from Hill to deny Isak, who was through one-on-one! Possibly goal-saving.

Man CityGoalSunderland

Goal:Man City 4-3 Sunderland (Brobbey 59')

This is ridiculous! Brian Brobbey... AGAIN! I don't remember seeing anything like this. Three times City have scored, and within minutes he has. A simple tap-in this time.

Can he get a fourth without City scoring again? He is running rampant.

Goal:Man City 4-2 Sunderland (Semenyo 57')

Semenyo has given City something they haven't had so far this match - daylight!

It was a storming finish from close range. No saving that.

Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool

Liverpool have a spring in their step now. Kerkez fancied his chances against his old club from range but has his effort blocked. Barcola has been stretching the hosts with his wide runs. There's suddenly a bouyancy about them which wasn't there before. And Isak has just narrowly missed! But the glaf went up.

Leeds 0-0 Crystal Palace

BOBBY MANZI at Elland Road:

Tyrick Mitchell’s disallowed goal has woken the home crowd up - they need their side to respond. Crystal Palace have started brilliantly in the second half; Leeds haven’t been able to handle them.

Goal:Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool (Isak 58')

Isak has his fourth goal of the Premier League season - and he's rushed straight over to the crowd to celebrate with the fans!

Gakpo sent in the cross, Wirtz miscued his effort, but Isak was there to clean up and sweep it in!

He also gets a yellow card for his celebrations as he climbed over the advertising board to be with the supporters!

Chance! Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

Rayan steals a slither of space from Kerkez as he drives towards the goalline on the right side of the box. He whips in a low ball and Christie meets it at the near post but it spirals over. That was maybe the best chance of the game so far.

A minute later, Christie tries to drive it low with his left boot but puts too much drag on it. Wide.

Man City 3-2 Sunderland

We're picking up again in Manchester and I've got to say, I'm glad. This game was much better than the dross served up in the other two so far!

Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

Alexander Isak on the ball and... where did that go?

'Absolute shocker that,' says Carragher. Can I just keep quoting him?

BournemouthPremier LeagueLiverpool

Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

Jamie Carragher is really getting stuck into young Florian.

'I'm surprised Wirtz has come out for the second half,' he says on Sky Sports. 'His first two touches, he's given it away twice.'

It's a poor start to the half for the Reds, as Szoboszlai cleans out Scott and gives away a free-kick. Tavernier sends it high and has Alisson backpedalling but it was off target.
