West Bromwich Albion 2-2 Watford

Watford are now up to fifth in the table, having scored two in each of their away games this season, having scored a 95th minute winner at the Hawthorns.

What a job Marco Silva is doing.

West Ham 1-0 Swansea

Goalless going into added time between two sides in the bottom five, with the home manager under pressure and the fans baying for blood...

Step forward Diafra Sakho.

Stoke 2-1 Southampton

It looked as though Maya Yoshida had turned home a point for the Saints, when he scored their firsts second half goal of the season.

But Peter Crouch grabbed the winner, and Stoke withstood heavy late pressure to triumph.

Late goals everywhere

Phew, what a finish!

A few to catch up on there.

16:55
FULL TIME: STOKE 2-1 SOUTHAMPTON

After eight minutes added time!

16:54
FULL TIME: WEST BROM 2-2 WATFORD
16:53
FULL TIME: WEST HAM UNITED 1-0 SWANSEA CITY
16:53
GOAL: WEST BROM 2-2 WATFORD (Richarlison)

So, so late!

In the 95th minute, the £12m Brazilian pops up to earn the Hornets a deserved point at the Hawthorns.

He heads in Holebas' free kick.

16:51
FULL TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 0-0 LEICESTER CITY
16:50
FULL TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 4-0 CRYSTAL PALACE

United go top, with City playing this evening.

Mata after three minutes, Fellaini with two, and a late goal for Lukaku (pictured).

16:47
GOAL: West Ham 1-0 Swansea (Sakho)

A job saver for Bilic?

Third of the season for Diafra Sakho, and it arrives in the 90th minute to send the London Stadium wild.

Deep cross, poked home by the Senegalese front man, and that may be the game.

16:44
Crossbar!

Andy Carroll smacks one off the woodwork. So close, with five to go.

16:43
GOAL: Stoke 2-1 Southampton (Crouch)

Winner?

Peter Crouch scores against his former club, and he may never have scored a scrappier one.

Stoke had about 278 shots in the six yard box, before the gangling forward stuck out a long leg and poked it home.

16:42
GOAL: Manchester United 4-0 Crystal Palace (Lukaku)

Can't have a United game without a Lukaku goal!

It's his 11th goal in 10 games since his £75m move, and it comes from a tap in, six yards out. 

Too easy.

16:41
West Ham 0-0 Swansea

Needing a goal in the final 10 minutes, Slaven Bilic takes off Javier Hernandez.

The home fans are livid. If Southampton score, it might be fatal for the Croatian.

16:40
Will this fella grab a goal today?
Manchester United's Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku reacts to a missed opportunity
16:37
Final 15 minutes

Three of the five matches are level, while Watford are pushing for an equaliser at West Brom.

At Old Trafford it's all over, but all to play for in the other 3pm starts.

16:33
GOAL: Stoke 1-1 Southampton (Yoshida)

Equaliser!

Southampton have thrown on Gabbiadini and Austin, but it is the centre back who makes the breakthrough.

Driven cross, six yards out, Maya Yoshida gets a touch and it crashes in off the cross bar. Level with 15 minutes to play.

16:33
Debut for Palace

This time last season, Freddie Ladapo was playing for non-league Margate. Today, the 24-year-old striker is making his Premier League debut at Old Trafford as he comes on for Bakary Sako.

Unfortunately for him, his big day will come during what looks like an inevitable defeat.

16:30
West Brom 2-1 Watford

Jonny Evenas gives the ball away, cross comes in, Richarlison...

Wide. Huge chance for Watford to bag a leveller.

16:28
Should be four!

Lukaku picks ball up on the edge of the area, only the keeper to beat - slots his shot wide.

That sound was millions of fantasy football managers groaning simultaneously.

16:26
Palace continue to toil

Bakary Sako - playing as an emergency striker due to Christian Benteke's injury - drags a shot across the face of goal.

Thoughts, Roy?

16:24
Stoke 1-0 Southampton

The Saints have not not scored in 10 of their last 13 games, nor in the second half of any match so far this season.

Three quarters of the game gone and they are still playing 4-5-1. Manuel Gabbiadini and Charlie Austin are still sat on the bench.

16:21
Manchester United seek a fourth

Ashley Young tries to get in on the goal action, but his low shot is saved by Hennessey.

Still 3-0 at Old Trafford.

16:20
Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester

Very little to write home about from the South Coast. Leicester just about shading it with half an hour to go.

16:19
West Ham 0-0 Swansea

Andy Carroll has not scored since January, and is struggling to make an impact today.

The natives are restless. Manuel Lanzini is about to come on.

16:18
Rashford at the centre of the action
16:13
West Brom 2-1 Watford

Watford inches away from the leveller - Etienne Capoue fires wide after a poor defensive header by Kieran Gibbs.

They have dominated the 10 minutes of the second half so far, but are yet to make it count.

16:11
PICTURES: Fellaini scores his second

So similar to the Belgian's first - header from close range at the far post.

16:08
Penalty shout for Palace

Should Palace have had a pen? Chris Smalling caught Jeffrey Schlupp in the area, looked like a good shout.

Hard to say it would make a huge difference to the way this game is going.

16:05
GOAL: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace (Fellaini 49)

Inevitable.

United set out in the second half looking like a side determined to squeeze any vestiges of life out of their opponents, and the have done so with ease.

Rashford cross from a free kick, Fellaini close range header, 3-0.

16:01
Second halves underway

At Old Trafford and across the other four matches.

15:59
Pray for Roy

Palace may well need divine intervention to get anything from today's game.

One for the Roy meme bank?
15:57
Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester

On the up side, Bournemouth are halfway to their first clean sheet of the season.

On the downside, they are yet to really look like scoring themselves.

15:56
Stoke 1-0 Southampton

First of the season for Mame Diouf, always a big moment for a striker.

Less good news for Saido Berahino. The missed penalty smacked off low confidence, very poorly struck by a man who has not scored in 10 months.

15:54
West Ham 0-0 Swansea

Little to mention from the London Stadium, a rather nervy encounter so far.

I wonder if Carlo Ancelotti is watching?

15:52

Two minutes later Saido Berahino saw his penalty well saved by Fraser Forster
15:50
Half times in the Prem 3pms

Six goals across the five games so far. Not a bad return.

United are dominant against Palace - they led inside three minutes through Juan Mata, and Marouane Fellaini's header may have ended the game as a contest.

Elsewhere, West Brom scored two in four minutes before Watford pulled one back; Stoke lead the Saints despite missing a penalty; and the two games between four of the league's bottom five are goalless.

15:48

PICTURE: Hope for Watford

Abdoulaye Doucoure pulls a goal back for the visitors at West Brom. 2-1 there.

15:44
PENALTY SAVE: Stoke 1-0 Southampton

Van Dijk drags down Berahino in the area... but Forster denies him!

The Dutchman's return is not going to plan.

Berahino, meanwhile, is yet to score for Stoke since joining them last January.

15:43
PICTURES: Fellaini doubles Man Utd's lead
15:40
GOAL: Stoke 1-0 Southampton (Diouf 40)

Bullet header.

Xherdan Shaqiri serves up a good cross, and Mame Biram Diouf - a striker playing at wing back for the hosts - powers the ball past Fraser Forster.

Virgil Van Dijk's return to the starting XI not going to plan.

15:38
GOAL: West Brom 2-1 Watford (Doucoure 37)

Marco Silva's men back in the game.

Abdoulaye Doucoure makes a run from midfield, and following flicks from Richarlison and Troy Deeney, he slams in from 18 yards.

Unlucky deflection off Jonny Evans in the build up from an Albion perspective, but Watford deserve a goal on the balance of play.

15:35
GOAL: Manchester United 2-0 Crystal Palace (Fellaini 35)

Commentator's curse, right there.

Marouane Fellaini gets the killer second, rising at the far post to head unstoppably past Wayne Hennessey.

Great cross there from Ashley Young too. Palace have no answers.

15:33
Manchester United 1-0 Crystal Palace

After United scored inside three minutes, you really feared for Palace, but they have stabilised well and are finally getting a few passes going.

That said, it took until the second half for City to overwhelm them last week.

15:30
Southampton 0-0 Stoke City

The Saints are having the majority of play, although Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting forces a smart save out of Fraser Forster.

Half an hour played, still goalless.

15:28
Excitement for the Palace fans

They've won a corner!

It's about as good as their season has got so far.

It came to nothing. United still 1-0 up.

15:25
Out of the blue

KIERAN GILL AT THE HAWTHORNS: Shoot-yourself-in-the-foot defending from Watford here. Up until the 18th minute, we hadn't even seen a shot. Out of nowhere this.

West Bromwich Albion's Salomon Rondon celebrates scoring their first goal
Jonny Evans celebrates scoring their second goal
15:24
All passing, no penetration

SAM CUNNINGHAM AT THE VITALITY STADIUM: For all Bournemouth’s brilliant passing and domination in the opening 10 minutes, the score remains goalless.

Manager Eddie Howe will be pleased with how his side are performing — after being left concerned by their displays in their opening five league games — but they must turn that into goals.

Jermain Defoe has hit the crossbar and Marc Pugh’s rebound was heading in until Leicester’s Danny Simpson blocked with his hand. It was a definite penalty.

15:21
GOAL: West Brom 2-0 Watford (Jonny Evans 21)

Set piece from a Pulis team = goal.

Matt Phillips corner swung in dangerously, flicks off a Hornets head at the near post, and Evans barges in ahead of centre back partner Ahmed Hegazi to double the home advantage.

West Brom well on their way to three points.

15:19
GOAL: West Brom 1-0 Watford (Rondon 18)

Hit the big man!

The big Venezuelan striker, Salomon Rondon, shrugged off Christain Kabasele with ease and buried it past Heurelho Gomes.

His first goal of the season.

15:18
Rashford in full flow

He well and truly embarrassed Joel Ward to set up the opening goal.

15:15
Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester

Even opening 15 at the Vitality Stadium, a win would be huge for both sides - 19th v 17th, this one.

15:13
Manchester United in control

Nemanja Matic gets the ball on the edge of the area but side foots it over the top. A different player in that position may have done better.

Only one side in it so far.

15:11
West Ham 0-0 Swansea

Decent start for the hosts at the London Stadium, Lukas Fabianski the keeper kept the busier so far.

Is it too early to call this a six-pointer?

15:10
Regrets for Roy?

JOE BERNSTEIN AT OLD TRAFFORD: In the Palace dug-out, Roy Hodgson sunk even lower into his seat as Mata opened the scoring. That £1million survival bonus looks further away than ever.

15:06
PICTURES: Manchester United lead

So easy for United, cutting through Palace like a knife through hot butter.

Roy Hodgson can only look on helplessly.

15:03
GOAL: Manchester United 1-0 Crystal Palace (Mata)

Oh dear. This could be a very long day for Palace.

Marcus Rashford has Joel Ward on toast down the wing, pulls it back and Juan Mata slots in.

The first of many?

15:00
Kick-off

Underway at Old Trafford, and across the 3pms in the Premier League.

14:58
What injury?

Jamie Vardy was deemed not fit enough to join Gareth Southgate’s England squad two days ago as he struggles with a hip injury, but he starts for Leicester City, here at the Vitality Stadium, against Bournemouth.

14:57
Van Dijk starts for the Saints

After three minutes of league football until today, Virgil Van Dijk returns to the starting line-up today for Southampton.

Having been so heavily linked with a move this summer, how will he perform? Kick off is minutes away.

14:54
Time for Jermain to start firing

Last season Defoe almost kept Sunderland up single handed with his goals. Given how Bournemouth have started the season he may need to pull a similar trick this time around.

He's yet to hit top form though, after an injury-hit start to the campaign. Will he finally fire today?

14:51
West Ham need some bulldog spirit

Is that a bulldog? I'm not an expert on breeds.

Either way, West Ham need a win today, with Slaven Bilic's men trapped in the bottom three.

Who's a good boy?
14:48
Preparing for damage limitation?

Bottom club Palace warm up for their game at Old Trafford this afternoon.

What would be a good result for Roy Hodgson's boys? Anything less than last week's 5-0 drubbing at Man City, realistically.

Bakary Sako warms up - he looks likely to be deployed as an emergency striker for injury ravaged Palace
14:45
Deeney's return

Kieran Gill at the Hawthorns: Marco Silva has handed his first start of the season to Troy Deeney. His four Premier League appearances this season had seen him substituted on in the 83rd, 84th, 74th and 86th minutes.

It comes in the same week that West Brom boss Tony Pulis hinted he would be interested in a January swoop for the Watford captain.

Mind games from Silva? Maybe.

14:45
15 minutes until kick-off...

It's that time of the week again.

First, let's catch up with the build-up at the Hawthorns.

14:37
How they stand...

Tottenham move up to third ahead of the 3pms... here's how we stand going into these five matches!

14:32
Spurs off to a flyer at Huddersfield

In the early kick-off in the Premier League, Huddersfield were put to the sword by a formidable Tottenham, with Harry Kane taking his September tally to 13 goals.

The England striker scored twice, while Ben Davies and Moussa Sissoko added further strikes in the 4-0 victory at the John Smith's Stadium.

Jose and his players arrive at Old Trafford!

There was some doubt over whether Romelu Lukaku was fit to play against Palace today, but he's at Old Trafford and in the starting XI!
