Chelsea v Nottingham Forest, Manchester City v Fulham: clockwatch – live
Following last night’s win for West Ham over Luton Town at Kenilworth Road, it’s a big day in the top flight ahead of the first international break of the season. Sheffield United and Everton got the day’s action under way at Bramall Lane, where thr hosts have come from behind to lead at half-time.
Abdoulaye Doucoure poked Everton ahead with his side’s first Premier League goal of the season, a goal that was cancelled out by a fine strike from Jordan Archer on his Premier League debut for the Blades. Archer helped increase his team’s lead, forcing an own goal off Jordan Pickford with an even better effort that struck thge post deep in first-half added time.
Later this afternoon, free-spending Chelsea, league leaders Manchester City and born again Tottenham are among the big name sides kicking off at 3pm. Having spent over £1bn under their new ownership regime, Chelsea host a Nottingham Forest side who are without a league win on the road since their victory at Southampton in early January.
City, the reigning Champions, host Fulham and Spurs will try to put their midweek Carabao Cup defeat behind time by consigning Burnley to a third consecutive defeat. In today’s other 3pm fixture, Brentford will look to continue their excellent start to the season against Bournemouth.
