Keep checking back here for live updates on each game.
Scorers: Chalobah 60', Guéhi 77'; Strand Larsen 67', Gomes 72'
Four goals in the final 30 minutes of action saw Crystal Palace earn a 2-2 draw away at Wolves.
A cagey opening period saw Crystal Palace just edge Wolves in terms of chances created, but neither side was able to break the deadlock.
Wolves went close to taking the lead just before half-time as Pablo Sarabia ghosted in at the back post, however his attempt bounced off Matheus Cunha and went straight to Palace stopper Dean Henderson.
Into the second half and Sarabia found himself one-on-one with Henderson, but the 'keeper somehow managed to make the save with his face.
It was Palace who broke the deadlock on the hour mark, sparking the game into life.
Trevor Chalobah registered his first for the club, finishing from a tight angle after a set piece had sent goalkeeper José Sá scrambling.
Chalobah went from hero to zero as his defensive mistake allowed Cunha to put Jørgen Strand Larsen one-on-one with Henderson, and the Norwegian made no mistake in levelling the scores.
The mood suddenly turned and a slick passing move started by Mario Lemina was finished by João Gomes after a smart pullback from Gonçalo Guedes.
And just as it seemed like the home side had their tails up, Palace drew back level as Marc Guéhi netted from close range from a corner.
Jean-Philippe Mateta had the ball in the back of the net for the Eagles in stoppage time, but his attempt was ruled out for offside.
The result leaves Wolves boss Gary O'Neil still under pressure, with his side now rock bottom of the table and without a Premier League win this season.
Scorers: Semenyo 9'. Evanilson 62'; Gvardiol 82'
Bournemouth provided a major upset as they held on to beat reigning champions Manchester City at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries almost took the lead in the first minute as they forced Ederson into an excellent double save from Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo.
However their bright early start was rewarded after 10 minutes when Semenyo provided a clinical finish to put the home side into a shock early lead.
City looked well off the pace and the hosts looked more likely to double their lead than concede as they headed towards the half hour mark.
And Pep Guardiola's side managed to go through the entire half without even having a shot on target against Iraola's side, with Bournemouth more than holding their own at the Vitality Stadium.
They almost doubled their advantage a minute into the second half, only for Ederson to once again come to Man City's rescue, smothering an effort from record-signing Evanilson.
At the other end, Phil Foden dragged a low effort wide, but as City began to threaten they were hit by a clinical counter attack from the Cherries, with more good work from Semenyo allowing Evanilson to tap home a second goal and leave City on the ropes.
It could have been over moments later, only for Marcus Tavernier's effort to hit the post before Adam Smith to smash over from six yards out.
It took until the 80th minute for Man City to register their first effort on target, as Erling Haaland toe poked the ball at Mark Travers. Two minutes later though, their second resulted in a goal as Josko Gvardiol rose highest to nod past the Bournemouth goalkeeper, coming to Man City's rescue once again.
They could have been level in the 90th minute as a low effort from Doku was well kept out by Travers, and six minutes of stoppage time only increased the tension on the south coast.
Again, City came close, with Erling Haaland producing a pair of astonishing misses from a yard out as Bournemouth road their luck in the dying stages to hold on for a massive three points.
Scorers: Davis 55'
A late goal from Jordan Ayew claimed a point for Leicester City against 10 man Ipswich in a battle at the bottom of the Premier League.
Faced with an Ipswich side still seeking their first Premier League win of the season, Leicester had the better of what was an end to end start to proceedings, with both sides spurning chances to take an early lead.
The home side began to assert themselves on the game as the half drew on, but lacked any quality in the final third, heading into the break level.
Ten minutes into the second half, the home side took a precious lead as Leif Davis lashed home on the volley after good work from Sam Morsy, putting Kieran McKenna's side on course for their first Premier League win in over two decades.
But they were made to work for it, as they were reduced to ten men minutes from full time when Kalvin Phillips was shown a second yellow card, just moments after Ipswich felt that they should have been awarded a penalty.
And deep into stoppage time Ipswich were handed a hammer blow as Jordan Ayew made Leicester's increased pressure pay to rescue a point for the Foxes, and leave the East Anglian outfit waiting for their first win of the season.
Scorers: Kadioglu 15'; Gakpo 69', Salah 72'Liverpool came from behind to beat Brighton in a repeat of their midweek clash in the EFL Cup, moving top of the Premier League in the process.
The Seagulls who took an early lead as they capped an impressive start to the game with a deserved goal, with summer addition Ferdi Kadioglu driving a thunderous effort in from the edge of the penalty area.
The Reds grew into the game as it took on an end to end feel, with both Georginio Rutter and Mo Salah having chances kept out by the opposition shot-stopper as they headed into the break separated by just a single goal.
The second half was a similarly open affair, but Liverpool finally got the goal their performance deserved as substitute Cody Gakpo's cross evaded everyone and nestled in the far corner.
Minutes later, they completed an excellent turnaround as Mo Salah cut in on his left foot before curling a powerful strike into the far corner, putting Slot's side on course for all three points as their rivals at the top dropped points.
Scorers: Wood 27', Hudson Odoi 65', Aina 74'
Nottingham Forest were looking to continue their good start to the season against West Ham, and began the game strongly despite failing to test Lukasz Fabianski in the West Ham goal.
However, they continued to apply the pressure and were finally rewarded when in-form Chris Wood was left free to nod home a cross from Alex Moreno and put the home side in the lead.
Moments after Lucas Paqueta saw an effort cleared off the line by Wood, West Ham's first half took another turn for the worst as Edson Alvarez was shown a second yellow card on the stroke of the interval, leaving the visitors with a mountain to climb.
Despite the man disadvantage, West Ham began the second half far better than they had the first, looking to hit Forest on the counter attack as the hosts searched for a second goal.
But the final nail in West Ham's coffin, and perhaps Lopetegui's, came just after the hour mark when Callum Hudson-Odoi linked up with Elliot Anderson before curling into the far corner and doubling Forest's advantage.
It was a cruise for the home side from that point, as West Ham grew increasingly frustrated and Nikola Milenkovic wasted an excellent chance to add a third for Forest.
Minutes later though, it was indeed 3-0 as Ola Aina rifled home a low effort from the edge of the penalty area, adding gloss to an impressive performance.
Scorers: Armstrong 85'
Southampton and Everton met in a relegation six pointer, and in typical fashion it was the Saints who dominated the ball without really creating anything as Everton looked to pick them off on the counter attack.
As Sean Dyche's side pushed for an opener, Southampton looked toothless, with Russell Martin's side failing to have a shot on target in front of a restless St Mary's.
The second half continued in a similar vein, with Aaron Ramsdale forced into making a fine save to keep out an effort from Orel Mangala and keep the score level.
In a low quality affair, Southampton thought they had won it late on, with Adam Armstrong lashing home a left-footed effort from 12 yards out.
Minutes later they thought their hopes of a first win of the season were dashed as Beto once again came to Everton's rescue and grabbing the Toffees a deserved point, only for VAR to rule it out for offside, handing the Saints a much needed first win of the campaign.

Scorers: Isak 12'
A toothless Arsenal fell to a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United at St James' Park, as an Alexander Isak goal in the opening stages proving the difference.
The Gunners began the game on the front foot, with Leandro Trossard dragging the first effort of the contest wide from the edge of the penalty area.
The home side began to settle though, and took the lead after just 12 minutes with their first effort of the game as Alexander Isak powered home a header from an Anthony Gordon cross to hand his side an early advantage.
Though Arsenal continued to dominate the ball, Newcastle remained a threat on the counter attack as the visitors pushed forward in search of an equaliser.
Chances came at both ends as Bukayo Saka flashed a cross along the six yard box before Mikel Merino's effort was blocked on the line by Lewis Hall, while at the other end Anthony Gordon provided a teasing cross of his own that Newcastle could not convert.
The game became increasingly broken up as the half went on, with both sides guilty of a series of petty fouls which ensured that no momentum could be built. leaving Newcastle heading into the break narrowly in front.
The hosts emerged stronger after half time too, with Joe Willock seeing his effort saved by David Raya within moments of kick off. Arsenal continued to see more of the ball but could not do anything with it as Isak stung the palms of Raya at the other end.
Mikel Arteta rang the changes, with Ethan Nwaneri, Gabriel Jesus and Ben White all coming on in a bid to rescue at least a point from the game.
But they still couldn't inject any momentum into the game, with the Gunners stuck firmly in first gear as Newcastle defended stoutly.
Heading into the final ten minutes Arsenal finally managed to create some pressure, but they were still unable to test Nick Pope in between the posts for the Magpies as they closed in on a famous win.
Deep in stoppage time, Declan Rice nodded Arsenal's best chance wide from six yards out, summing up the poor Arsenal performance and ensuring they left St James' Park with nothing.
Tomorrow's Premier League action sees Tottenham host Aston Villa, while Ruud Van Nistelrooy takes charge of Manchester United once again as they face Chelsea at Old Trafford.
