7.24: That's all from us tonight. But don't forget, you can watch highlights of all today's games on the Sun GOALS app at your leisure. Thanks for joining us today. Goodnight!
7.22: The crisp salesman's right. It was a clear penalty as Bellerin upended Musa from behind right at the end there. But perhaps it would have been harsh on Arsenal who looked the more likely winners.
FULL TIME: LEICESTER 0 ARSENAL 0
7.18: We're into three added minutes and Mahrez so nearly wins it for Leicester, racing clear and rifling a low shot that Cech does brilliantly to block with his legs.
7.14: And he so nearly does! Musa wriggles free in the box and goes down under a clumsy challenge from Bellerin. It's another stonewaller but again Clattenburg says no and merely motions to Musa to get up. Another shocker of a decision from the man with the tragic tatts and hair weave. What have Leicester got to do to get a penalty?
7.13: Leicester make a final sub as new boy Musa comes on for Albrighton. He's got three minutes to make himself an instant hero
7.10: Arsenal still knocking on the door. Ozil makes a beautifully timed run but in the middle Giroud displays all the fleet-footed movement of the Olympic pommel horse and the chance goes begging.
7.07: It's all Arsenal now as Wilshere's cross just evades Giroud and then Morgan slides in brilliantly to deny Walcott just as he's about to pull the trigger. Monstrous tackle! How much longer can Leicester hold out?
7.04: Last throw of the dice from Arsene as he lobs on Olivier Giroud for Oxlade-Chamberlain. I've got a feeling Giroud's going to score the winner. I can just feel it in my water.
6.59: Arsenal make a dubstitution with Jack Wheelchair, sorry, Jack Wilshere and Ozil replacing Xhaka and Cazorla. 15 minutes for somebody to find a winner.
6.56: Leicester make a sub as Ulloa replaces Okazaki but here's Vardy bearing down on goal, surely this is the opener...NO!!! The England striker blazes high and wide! He'd have absolutely buried that last year.
6.54: You know Dion Dublin presents Homes Under The Hammer? They really should have got Robert Huth to do it. He’s already got the show’s initials, HUTH. Which is why whenever I watch that show, I always get a mental image of Leicester's pug ugly centre half. And now, so will you. You’re welcome.
6.51: Here's Sanchez bursting clear but Robert Hoof is quickly over to clatter the bejesus out of the Chilean.
6.47: Decent whizz-bang from Mahrez, who fizzes the resulting free kick narrowly over before Bellerin unleashes a 25 yard rasper that Schmeichel comfortably pats down. Come on chaps, I saw better finishing in the women's hockey last night.
6.42: Coquelin should be back in the dressing room here. He's already on a yellow but clearly trips Mahrez just outside the box. Incredibly, Clattenburg gives the free kick but no second yellow. Wonder if he'll celebrate by getting a tattoo of that woeful decision on his a**e. Utter madness!
6.40: The good news is Mendy's back on his feet. The bad news is he soon collapses again and is replaced by Andy King. Not the way he would have wanted his Premier League debut to finish.
6.36: Ow! Ow! Ow! At full pace, Mendy stretches for the ball but his studs get stuck in the turf and his ankle almost doubles up underneath him. Oh man, watching the slo-mo of that made my stomach turn as much as looking at the patterns on the Leicester pitch.
6.34: Oooh silky skills from Petr Cech who, with Jamie Vardy thundering down on him, pulls off the neatest drag back, completely outfoxing the Foxes striker. See, Joe Hart. That's what your feet are for!
6.32: PEEEEP! We go again...
On second thoughts, maybe more of a two man tent than a marquee
18.25: Actually, here’s a photo of Arsene’s last marquee signing….
18.21: If Arsenal fans are still frustrated by their club's lack of transfer signings, I have some good news. Apparently Arsene is all set to land one of the biggest names seen at Euro 2016. He’s going to pick up a can of Socar Azerbaijani oil on the way home. And that's true
6.17: Not a lot of quality on show but Arsenal have looked the more threatening. Mind you, Leicester will be fuming about the non-award of a penalty after Drinkwater appeared to be tripped in the box right on half time. This one's still right in the balance
6.16: HALF TIME: LEICESTER 0 ARSENAL 0
6.12: Suddenly the game springs into life as Cech hurtles off his line to thwart Vardy, the ball springs loose to Drinkwater but Koscileny slides in and upends him. Penalty all day long but Clatto says nowt doing. Rubbish decision!
6.08: While there's a lull in the game, just time to tell you that the Arsenal players all went to see Pete’s Dragon last night. Although Cech’s wife apparently hates it when they call her that.
6.05: Now it's the home side's turn to press as Mahrez whips in a free kick that forces Cech to come and claim. Although to be fair, Maddie Hinch would have caught that with her eyes shut.
6.02: SAVE! Brilliant stop from Schmeichel as Cazorla's free kick from the left evades everyone, rears up off the turf and is heading in until Kasper the friendly keeper gets fingertips to it. That was almost a replica of Barkley's goal for Everton last week.
6.01: Leicester just can’t seem to get out. What they could do with is one of those Olympic Derny bikes to encourage their midfield to start moving in a forward direction
5.58: Oof! 'Ave that! Coquelin launches a cruncher on Vardy and earns a card that matches the colour of his shirt. Don't panic Gooners, Arsenal are in yellow today.
5.57: Ooh and they so nearly take the lead as Oxlade-Chamberlain goes off on a mazy run before curling a peach of an effort from the edge of the box just past the far post. Unlucky, son.
5.53: Arsenal are pinning Leicester back with new signing Granit looking particularly good on the counter (sorry). I’m gonna stick my neck out – it’s only a matter of time before they take the lead here.
5.46: It's all a bit frantic with not a lot of composure being shown by either side. Here's another example as Bellerin gets in behind down the right but his hurried cross is easily cut out. If he'd found Walcott lurking at the back post, Arsenal would surely have had the lead. Even Theo couldn't have missed that.
5.41: Leicester fans are belting out endless choruses of 'Jamie Vardy is a Blue - He Hates Arsenal!' Doesn't quite scan but the sentiment's there.
5.38: It's a high octane start with both sides going at it hammer and tongs. Your referee today is Mark Clattenburg, who's concealing his two new tattoos with a long sleeved burgundy shirt. As always, Clatto is bang on trend, the big vain dolt.
5.34: Good to see Robert Huth back for the Champions. How many penalties do you reckon he’ll give away tonight? With referees clamping down on grappling at set-pieces, I’m going for just the three.
5.30: PEEEP! We are underway with Leicester straight on the attack, winning a corner which Arsenal successfully defend. Shocker!
5.29: FACT ME! Leicester City are on a 19-match winless run against Arsenal in the Premier League (D6, L13) and lost both games last season.
5.26: Right, the players are on their way out. It's a rare old atmosphere too with the place literally bouncing. Anyone would think they'd just won the league or something.
5.23: By the way, I heard reports earlier that Arsenal were close to making a much needed signing at lunchtime. But apparently Arsene refused to pay the asking price for a Greggs Meal Deal.What can you do?
5.19: Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Holding, Koscielny, Monreal, Xhaka, Coquelin, Walcott, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sanchez
Subs: Ospina, Gibbs, Wilshere, Giroud, Ozil, Chambers, Elneny
5.17: Evenin' all! Here's how the sides line up at the King Prawn Stadium...
Leicester: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, Drinkwater, Mendy, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy.
Subs: Hernandez, Musa, King, Amartey, Zieler, Gray, Ulloa.
16.55: SPURS 1 CRYSTAL PALACE 0
16.54: FT: WEST BROM 1 EVERTON 2
16.53: FT: SWANSEA 0 HULL 2; WATFORD 1 CHELSEA 2
16.51: All over at Turf Moor and Burnley have beaten Liverpool! FT: BURNLEY 2 LIVERPOOL 0
16.50: Head for the exits Swansea fans! GOOOOAAAALLL!!! Abel Fernandez wraps up another brilliant win for Hull City and are they going to be this year's Leicester? SWANSEA 0 HULL 2
16.48: Quite possibly...
16.45: GOOOOAAAAALLLL!!! It's a rapid counter-attack from Chelsea as Fabregas sets Diego Costa free and he does the rest, running in on goal before slipping it through the legs of Heurelho Gomes. They've nicked it! WATFORD 1 CHELSEA 2
16.42: DEADLOCK BROKEN AT THE LANE! Harry Kane flicks on a corner and there's the new recruit Victor Wanyama to give Tottenham the lead. A little over five minutes for Palace to get back in this. Not looking good for them to be honest. SPURS 1 PALACE 0
16.39: And a GOOOAAAALLLL at Vicarage Road where Michy Batshuayi is in the right place at the right time to seize on a mistake from Gomes and draw Chelsea level. WATFORD 1 CHELSEA 1
16.38: GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! HULL HAVE THE LEAD AT SWANSEA! It's a tap-in for Shaun Maloney and everyone's favourites to go down continue to defy their doubters. SWANSEA o HULL 1
16.36: Grujic has only just come on for Liverpool and virtually his first contribution is a lashed left-foot shot from the edge of the area that forces Tom Heaton to tip it over. Great defensive work from the Clarets.
16.34: Just the 85% of possession for Liverpool in this second half...
16.32: Hand your head in shame Ross Barkley. It's an inch-perfect cross from Bolasie from the right and there's the occasional England man at the front post but, unmarked, he heads wide from four yards. Everton should be out of sight by now.
16.28: This man is on at the Hawthorns too...
16.25: Dele Alli is on at White Hart Lane if you're interested. If you're not, sorry.
16.24: Another ripper from Andre Gray at Turf Moor as Dejan Lovren backs off and all but invites him to shoot. It's a little high and a little wide but, again, it's not great defending from Liverpool.
16.22: "Hi, I'm Etienne Capoue...'
16.20: GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! Everton have the lead at West Brom and it's the veteran Gareth Barry who steals in at the back post to nod home the bouncing ball! WEST BROM 1 EVERTON 2
16.17: New England boss Sam Allardyce is at White Hart Lane. Bet he wishes he hadn't bothered. It's still 0-0 there.
16.14: And it's a screamer from Etienne Capoue who chests the ball down and then rips a left-footer past Courtois prompting scenes of delerium at Vicarage Road. WATFORD 1 CHELSEA 0
16.13. Change for Burnley as Defour takes his leave and on comes Gudmondsson. And there's been a GOOOOAAALLLL at Vicarage Road...
16.10: CLOSE! In fact it should really be a goal for West Brom as Darren Fletcher's side-footer from 12 yards is saved by the legs of Maarten Stekelenburg.
16.08: Shots at either end at Turf Moor as Andre Gray fires over from the edge of the box while Roberto Firmino stings the fingers of Tom Heaton with a rasper from 30 yards.
16.04: And they're off at all the theory games too. Don't forget we've also got Leicester v Arsenal coming up straight after these 3pm games.
16.03: They're back under way at Turf Moor and Daniel Sturridge has already a chance for Liverpool that he's spurned, dragging it wide.
15.59: They also had 446 passes to Burnley's 124?!?
15.56: Liverpool had 78% possession and 13 attempts in that first half. Burnley had two shots - and scored them both. Football eh? Bloody hell...
15.52: This is how it feels to watch the Liverpool defence...
15.50: HT: BURNLEY 2 LIVERPOOL 0; SWANSEA 0 HULL 0; SPURS 0 PALACE 0; WATFORD 0 CHELSEA 0
15.48: ALL SQUARE AT THE HAWTHORNS! Everton's Kevin Mirallas draws Everton level, squeezing the ball through the legs of Olsson and beating Ben Foster at the far post. HT: WEST BROM 1 EVERTON 1
15.46: Shouldn't have sold Martin Skrtel. Tell a lie...
15.44: Half-time approaches. A couple of minutes to play...
15.39: Interesting tactical change from Rocket Ronnie Koeman. He's brought James McCarthy off and brought Romelu Lukaku on to face his old club.
15.37: GOOOOAAAAALLLL!!! Burnley lead Liverpool 2-0! And it's Andre Gray who delivers, cutting in from the right, before working it on to his left foot and burying it low into the corner. BURNLEY 2 LIVERPOOL 0
15.35: Another chance for Swansea against Hull as Barrow's industry gives Wayne Routledge an opportunity but his cheeky backheel was impudent but unsuccessful.
15.30: Half an hour played across the country and just the two goals to report. Not good enough. See me.
15.27: BOOKING! And it's West Brom's Saido Berahino who gets a yellow card for a clumsy foot in on Gareth Barry. Strong to report a booking involving Barry and it not being him getting it. Wonders will never cease.
15.26: It's absolutely belting it down at Vicarage Road where two super stylish Italian managers don't look quite so stylish now. Not sure how Conte's 'hair' is going to cope with the torrential rain.
15.19: High tempo stuff at Vicarage Road where Chelsea are trying to break down the massed ranks of the Watford defence. And here's a booking for Troy Deeney for the kind of challenge on Gary Cahill that I'd do, being too old and too slow to catch up with him.
15.18: Liverpool look really good going forward and I mean really good but at the back? Blimey...
15.15: CLOSE! Tip-top Toby Alderweireld has a golden chance to give Spurs the lead but his header from the corner is straight at the man that Joe Hart secretly wishes he was, Wayne Hennessey.
15.12: So much for my bet on Daniel Sturridge being the first goalscorer...
15.09: GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! And it's another Euro 2016 star, Gareth McAuley, who puts the Baggies ahead, heading home from close range from a corner. Gareth McAuley is 59. WEST BROM 1 EVERTON 0
15.07: CLOSE FOR SWANSEA! Icelandic superstar Gylfi Sigurdsson whacks the Hull crossbar with a belter from nearly 30 yards. Still 0-0..
15.06: I know, amazing...
15.05: That Burnley goal was a lesson in how not to play out from the back. Just hoof it! Get rid!!!
15.01: GOOOAAAAALLLL!!! Shocking defending from Liverpool as SAM VOKES takes full advantage and gives Burnley the earliest of leads, belting it in the top corner! BURNLEY 1 LIVERPOOL 0
15:00: It's Saturday, it's 3pm and it's the football! WE ARE OFF AROUND THIS ONCE GREAT NATION!
14.55: A quick scan of the grounds and the teams are starting to filter out of the tunnels and on to the pitches. Which is handy.
14.54: And finally, it's West Brom v Everton at the Hawthorns. WEST BROM: Foster, Dawson, McAuley, Olsson, Evans, Gardner, Yacob, Fletcher, Phillips, Berahino, Rondon EVERTON: Stekelenberg, Baines, Funes Mori, Jagielka, Holgate, McCarthy, Barry, Gueue, Barkley, Mirallas, Deulofeu
14.53: To Vicarage Road for fun and games. WATFORD: Gomes; Britos, Cathcart, Prodl; Amrabat, Capoue, Guedioura, Behrami, Holebas; Deeney, Ighalo CHELSEA: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Kante; Pedro, Oscar, Matic, Hazard, Costa
14.52: It's a London derby at the Lane. SPURS: Vorm, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Wanyama, Lamela, Eriksen; Janssen, Kane PALACE: Hennessey, Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare, Puncheon, Ledley, Townsend, Lee, Zaha, Wickham
14.51: To the Valleys for Swansea v Hull! SWANSEA: Fabianski, Nuaghton, Fernandez, Amat, Kingsley, Cork, Fer, Barrow, Sigurdsson, Routledge, Llorente HULL: Jakupovic, Elmo, Livermore, Davies, Robertson, Huddlestone, Meyler, Snodgrass, Clucas, Hernandez, Diomande
14.50: Hello and welcome back! Right, let's wade into the teams for the 3pm games, starting with Burnley v Liverpool. BURNLEY: Heaton, Ward, Mee, Keane, Lowton, Boyd, Marney, Defour, Arfield, Vokes, Gray LIVERPOOL: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge.
14.25: One game down, six to go. Stay right here as we bring all the action from the 3pm games, coming right up!
14.23: GOOOOAAAAALLLL!!! Another tap-in for Nolito as Raheem Sterling draws Shay Given off his line and just squares it for the Spaniard to roll it into an empty net. And that's the final whistle! FT: STOKE 1 MAN CITY 4
14.21: Which, for the record, is still time for John Stones to pick up a booking for a late lunge on Diouf near the the halfway line.
14.19: Five minutes of stoppage time...
14.16: Two changes. Stoke swap Arnautovic for Sobhy Ahmed and City bring on Fabian Delph for Kevin De Bruyne.
14.13: Diddy David Silva makes a break on the inside left channel but rather than pull it back across the box he goes for goal and spears it over the top. Moments later, Iheanacho goes round Shay Given but has the vision to look up and pick out Nolito at the back post and he makes no mistake! GOOOOAAAALLL!!! Three to Man City! STOKE 1 MAN CITY 3
14.10: SUBSTITUTION! Pep's shuffling his pack. It's Kelechi Iheanacho coming on and City's goalscorer Sergio Aguero making way. It's been another hugely impressive performance from the Argentinian.
14.09: Ten minutes for Stoke to salvage a point here...
14.04: 'That's for my Camp Nou hell, Pep...'
14.02: If this isn't a reason/excuse for a right old knees up then I don't know what is...
13.58: Another missed booking by Mike Dean as Diouf rakes his studs down the ankle of David Silva and escapes with no other punishment than a free-kick. That was a bad one, it really was. But here is a yellow card for the Pirlo of the Potteries, Joe Allen, as he hauls down Pablo Zabaleta. Stoke will also make a change, swapping Imbula for Jonny Boy Walters.
13.57: SUBSTITUTION! That's it for Jesus Navas. He's being hooked and on comes Nolito.
13.54: BOOKING! And a yellow card for Kevin De Bruyne now for a late challenge on Wollscheid, right under the Roman nose of Mike Dean.
13.53: About time we had a change or two. If I were Sparky, I'd get Crouchy on. Rustle a few feathers.
13.51: FACT ME! Today marks the 20th anniversary of the last time Mark Hughes smiled.
13.49: Stoke are very much back in this and for the first time City don't look their usual confident selves. A little under 30 minutes to play.
13.47: This must be tough for Joe Hart to watch, not least because Willy Caballero's distribution today has been ruddy awful.
13.45: Tough...
13.43: Sterling's challenge on Shawcross wasn't quite as blatant as Shawcross's on Otamendi but at least Mike Dean's been consistent. Yes, you heard that right.
13.39: Question. Why was little Raheem Sterling marking giant Ryan Shawcross? Anyone?
13.35: BOOKING! Very late challenge on Arnautovic by Zabaleta sees the City skipper go in the book but what's this? PENALTY! And this time it's Ryan Shawcross who's held back by Raheem Sterling! He goes in the book while Bojan will take the spot-kick... AND SCORES!!! He sends Caballero the wrong way and Stoke are back in this! STOKE 1 MAN CITY 2
13.34: Quite possibly...
13.31: The players are back out and it looks like some of the Stoke players have been crying. OK, we're good to go. PEEEEEP! WE'RE OFF!!!
13.27: D'oh!
13.24: This man is on fire. Not literally. That would breach all manner of Health & Safety regulations...
13.21: This just in from the Stoke changing room...
13.18: And that is your half-time whistle, courtesy of Mike Dean. City are all over Stoke to be fair. Still, at least Stoke have Charlie Adam on the bench. Hope springs eternal and all that. HT: STOKE 0 MAN CITY 2
13.16: Two minutes of added malarkey at the end of this first half...
13.14: That's eight goals in seven Premier League games against Stoke for Sergio Aguero. Altogether now: 'Can we play you every week?' In other news, Bojan picks up a booking for booting the ball away. Clown.
13.11: Nice Gareth Hunt from the man behind Shay Given...
13.09: Big shout for a penalty for Stoke now as Kolarov flattens Joe Allen in the area during a goalmouth scramble. Certainly looked like one to me. But I'm not Mike Dean. And I never will be.
13.05: More leniency from Mike Dean as he lets Eric Pieters off for a deliberate block on Jesus Navas. But they get their comeuppance big time. Why? Because there's been another GOOOOAAAAALLL!!! From the free-kick, it's Kevin De Bruyne who swings it in, right on the bonce of Sergio Aguero and he does the rest, rifling a fine header beyond Shay Given. STOKE 0 MAN CITY 2
13.02: No idea how Jesus Navas escaped a yellow card there as he slid in on Wollscheid. It was very, very late and more than a little dangerous. Mind you, I'd book Jesus Navas just for being Jesus Navas.
12.56: PENALTY! Ryan Shawcross is pulling Otamendi's arm as though it were a one-arm bandit and that's a penalty. Sergio Aguero to take it... SCORES!!! The wee man sends Shay Given the wrong way and no keeper in the world is saving that, not even a 40-year-old with his best days long behind him. STOKE 0 MAN CITY 1
12.53: Still seems strange seeing Joe Allen in a shirt other than Liverpool's. A bit like seeing your ex-girlfriend with a new fella. I'm not saying Joe Allen looks like a girl. Well, he does have long hair, but...
12.51: Better from Stoke as Joe Allen runs in behind the City defence to reach Bogan's clever through-ball but Pablo Zabaleta is there to scoop it to safety. Tidy passing there from the Potters.
12.48: John Stones morphs briefly into Jesus Navas as he carries the ball from his own half deep into Stoke territory before being outnumbered by the massed ranks of the Stoke defence and losing the ball. Textbook.
12.43: Thirteen minutes played and City have had 75% of the possession. That's Manchester City, by the way, not Stoke City. Thought I'd better clear that up.
12.41: Close! Raheem Sterling, who's being roundly booed every time he gets on the ball, works a shooting opportunity on the edge of the box but his right-foot shot is a foot too high. Decent effort that and one appreciated by the Stoke fans who reply with 'There's only one greedy b******'.
12.39: If ever Pep Guardiola wanted to know what English football was really like he would have got a good idea by watching that two-footed lunge by Phil Bardsley that David Silva managed to sidestep. That, for me at least, says it all.
12.37: Sergio Aguero's looking lively. He just burst down the City right, got to the byline but then overhit his cross to a waiting Raheem Sterling in the six-yard box. Still don't like his new beard though.
12.34: Of course, you may recall that it was Arnautovic that scored twice in the opening 15 minutes in this fixture last year. And he's just conceded another free-kick wide on the City right. He needs to get his head together. This is Mike Dean reffing after all.
12.32: The first foul of the day and it's the poor man's Zlatan, Marko Arnautovic, that concedes it, flattening the impish Jesus Navas in midfield.
12.30: Referee Mike Dean manages to blow his whistle and start the game without making an awful hash of it and WE ARE OFF!!!
12.28: Interesting...
12.27: OK, so the teams are in the tunnel and we're about to find out if Pep Guardiola can do it on a wet and windy afternoon in Stoke. Here they come...
12.24: What was wrong with a spinning top or a hula-hoop? Kids these days, tsk...
12.23: Seven minutes to kick-off in a soggy Stoke. Ready?
12.18: Good to see that Stoke boss Mark Hughes has done away with the facial hair he's been sporting of late. Still preferred him when he looked like this though.
12.16: Expect goals today. Why? Because Stoke have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 11 league games. And get this. They've conceded 37 Premier League goals in 2016. That's more than any other side currently in the top flight.
12.11: Your referee for this lovely lunchtime fixture is everyone look at me, I’m Mike Dean…
12.09: That's about as much action as he's going to see while Pep's around...
12.07: FACT ME! Stoke have beaten Manchester City in each of the last two seasons, having previously gone 10 sad and sorry games without a victory (D5, L5).
12.04: Don’t you just hate that new Premier League ball?
12.02: Weirdly, Navas did a TV interview earlier and he still needs a translator! He's been here for three years! What the hell has been doing? That's just plain lazy, sorry.
12.00: And lo, the Jesus Navas Mystery continues! Yep, he starts for City in place of Nolito. As for poor old Joe Hart, he's on the bench again. Man. City: Caballero, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Stones, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero
11.58: There's a debut for the Pirlo of the Potteries Joe Allen! And Shay Given starts against his old club at the age of 87. Fair play to him. Stoke: Given; Bardsley, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Pieters; Imbula, Whelan; Bojan, Allen, Arnautovic; Diouf
11.57: But first it’s to the windswept Potteries where Stoke City entertain Manchester City. I say ‘entertain’ but it’s not like Sparky will be doing some juggling or close-up magic for them. Well, I don’t think he will be. Anyway, enough already. The teams please!!!
11.54: I’m Gavin Newsham and I’ll be here all afternoon to bring you the many varied delights of Burnley v Liverpool, Spurs v Palace, Watford v Chelsea, West Brom v Everton and, at 5.30pm, the champions Leicester at home to Arsenal. Oh, and Swansea v Hull too.
11.50: Hello, good afternoon and welcome to our live coverage of all today’s Premier League action. Yes, who needs the Olympic Games when you’ve got Swansea v Hull coming up later?
