Less than five minutes to go at the Emirates and frustration is starting to set in for the Gunners. The pre-game feel-good factor has already worn off, it seems.

It's all Arsenal at the Emirates, really, but Southampton have just spurned another glorious chance to pinch all three points.
On this occasion, a long range shot is saved by Cech. The keeper sends it back into the path of Shane Long, but he scuffs his effort when it appeared easier to score.

Southampton are making a change with ten minutes left. They're clearly happy to settle for a point, because...

Back at the Emirates, Arsenal launch an attack through the middle, eventually the ball is cut back from the left side and at the moment when Olivier Giroud appears certain to poke it home, the Frenchman slipped.
Southampton survived - but can they hold out until the end?

GOAL: Stoke 0-4 Spurs (Kane)
Harry Kane has ended his mini-goal drought for club and country. The striker has underlined Spurs' dominance this afternoon with their fourth goal of the afternoon.
This scoreline could get gruesome for the Potters at this rate.

GOAL: West Ham 2-4 Watford (Holebas)
Jose Holebas has scored Watford's fourth of the afternoon and after a brilliant first 40 minutes for West Ham, they appear to have completely collapsed.

A couple of changes for the Gunners now, and the new signing is among those making way. Arsenal have 25 minutes to find a winning goal.

GOAL: Stoke 0-3 Tottenham (Alli)
Yep, it's definitely all over now. Dele Alli, who missed a sitter earlier, finally has his goal and Spurs have the three points.
Alli, 20, keeps his cool and slides home after good work by Kyle Walker.

GOAL: West Ham 2-3 Watford (Capoue)
The Hornets complete an amazing comeback through Etienne Capoue, who chests a Roberto Pereyra cross down down and bangs it into a the net.
What a game - and there's still 30-odd minutes left!

GOAL: West Ham 2-1 Watford (Ighalo)
Watford are back in the game - and what a game is is turning out to be. Odion Ighalo has given the away side a lifeline in the game just before the interval.

GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-1 Crystal Palace (Ayala)
The hosts are level thanks to Daniel Ayala, who has scored with a cracking header. at the Riverside.
Less than five minutes til half-time in the 3pm games, by the way.

GOAL: West Ham 2-0 Watford (Antonio)
Michail Antonio scores with another header to double the Hammer's lead. It could be a long old day for Watford in East London.

GOAL: Arsenal 1-1 Southampton (Koscielny)
What a great goal from Laurent Koscielny! The Frenchman launches an overhead kick from 12 yards into the net after Southampton failed to clear a corner.
That was Ibrahimovic-like from Koscielny. We've got a real game on our hands at the Emirates.

Back at the Emirates, Santi Cazorla swings a cross in from the sidelines and Walcott cannot direct his header on goal.
Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, is on the touchline, asking his players to get themselves organised. Some 25 minutes gone in North London and Arsenal have been pretty uninspiring so far.

GOAL: Middlesbrough 0-1 Crystal Palace (Benteke)
At the same time Southampton scored, so too did Crystal Palace. And Christian Benteke is the man.
On this occasion, the big-money signing from Liverpool climbs all over his marker to loop a header into the net.

An early-ish goal for Southampton has changed the atmosphere a bit at the Emirates. Gunners fans arrived, I think, expecting a one-sided win this afternoon - but Saints look like they mean business.
Perez has barely had a kick on his Arsenal debut, by the way.

GOAL: Arsenal 0-1 Southampton (Tadic)
Saints take the lead through Tadic, who drifts a freekick from 20 yards over the wall and as it rebounds off the bar, it goes in via Petr Cech's back.
In fact, that may be one for the dubious goals panel - but Southampton won't really care for the moment.

Arsenal are now starting to find their rhythm against a well-drilled Saints side, who have plenty of men behind the ball. It's just Rodriguez who is being left upfield.
If Arsenal don't score early, they could be in for a long afternoon. Fraser Forster is already wasting time. Monreal has gone into the book, by the way.

Elsewhere, West Ham should be 2-0 in East London, where Daryl Janmaat, making his first start for Watford, almost turns the ball into his own net.
At Stoke, Marko Arnautovic has the ball in the net but it's ruled out because he was clearly offside.
11 - Since his Premier League debut, Michail Antonio has scored more goals than any other West Ham player (11). Hammer.

There's probably of a little bit of a feeling-out process going on at the Emirates, given that these Arsenal players will have barely trained together.
The likes of Mustafi and Perez are trying to find their feet. Tadic is looking dangerous for the Saints, meanwhile.

GOAL: West Ham 1-0 Watford (Antonio)
The first Premier League goal of the 3pms goes to Michail Antonio, the England new boy.

There was a big game in Manchester earlier today and in case you missed what happened, you can check out our live blog.

Away from Arsenal for a second, here's a reminder of the two teams. Kick-off is around 25 minutes away.

Arsene Wenger also said prior to the game that Jack Wilshere is a "world-class player" – and has no intention of selling the midfielder.
The 24-year-old England international was recently allowed to join Bournemouth on a season-long loan deal, but Wenger has rubbished rumours that the move is a precursor to Wilshere leaving the club.
"I spoke to Jack and there were concerns that he wouldn't play enough," Wenger said, according to The Mirror. "If he has some time then he will come back at a competitive level. He's gone to play games.
"He wanted games and I can understand his desire, it's a logical decision. Let's not forget that he missed last year... you can't afford to be out two seasons without playing at the top level."

Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admitted he was surprised by the speed with which they were able to sign Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez.
The duo joined the Gunners a few days before the summer transfer window closed but Wenger has said the deals were concluded earlier than he had expected.
"We were earlier than expected [on the two deals] with a quick turnaround on Saturday morning, when the window closed on the Wednesday," the Arsenal manager explained, according to The Mirror.
"Mustafi is a young centre-back and already has experience. Lucas Perez is an interesting striker who can score goals but can also provide assists. He has some interesting qualities."
The fans are filtering into the stadium before the big kick-off. After a fairly miserable opening day, there is a renewed sense of optimism around the Emirates.
Lucas Perez is, of course, a bit of an unknown quantity to British football fans. He enjoyed a breakthrough season last year and will be looking to build on that in the red of Arsenal. Can he do it? We're about to find out...

Good luck lads!#AFCvSFC pic.twitter.com/Qt1ltyOHqf

What managers say
Claude Puel: "Before signing for Southampton I spoke with him about the possibilities to coach in England. He said to me it would be a very good challenge to coach in England in the greatest championship in the world.
"It was important to sign for Southampton and to play against these managers. Arsene Wenger was my trainer during seven years at Monaco. It [is] a pleasure to see him on the other bench."

What Managers Say
Arsene Wenger: "[International breaks] are a little bit of a problem [for maintaining fluency], so I have to analyse how everybody came back, what kind of intensity they had to cope with and the fact as well that we play three days later again.
"Certainly, for some players, four games in 10 days plus the travelling is not really feasible at the top, top level. That's why you have a strong squad and I will focus on the players who could prepare properly for the game."

Preview
Southampton have an enviable record against the Gunners in recent times, beating them 4-0 at St.Mary's last year on boxing Day and following that up with a brilliant defensive performance at the Emirates, drawing the game 0-0.
The Saints have drawn two and lost one of their last three games and will be looking to recreate their past form against the North London club, who are yet to find their groove this season.
Preview
Arsenal come into the game on the back of their first win in the Premier League, against Watford, after a loss against Liverpool on the opening day and a 0-0 draw against Leicester City.
The mood is much better at the Emirates with the signing of two new players before deadline day, in the form of Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez.
Both players are likely to make an appearance and the fans will be hoping that they can set the ground running from the outset, especially with other clubs around them tearing away in the race for the title.
