An entertaining game comes to an end at St. James' Park as Chelsea claw their way back to draw level against Newcastle United.

Teams coming out from four fixtures. We will get you updates from all the games, right here!

Pep Guardiola's future at Man City could be up in the air with The Athletic suggesting the club are preparing ideal candidate to replace the Spaniard.

Off we go as we get you live scores and updates from Manchester, Brighton, Wolverhampton and Bournemouth.

It's HIM! Who else.....Erling Haaland scores as Man City get things underway with a goal and go atop the Premier League standings as things stands.

Man City 1-0 West Ham

Mats Wieffer produces a header forces Robin Roefs into a decent save. Sunderland's away form isn't great and the Black Cats will be happy to settle for a point tonight.

Brighton 0-0 Sunderland

It's all Cherries at the moment as Burnley are camped in their own half. Scott Parker's men are in wretched reign of form.

Bees are stinging the Wolves side with possession and the home team unable to come out of their own half. Rob Edwards needs a big performance tonight, especially how they performed against Arsenal.

Wolves 0-0 Brentford

West Ham look under-cooked and under-prepared for the game as City are all over the Hammers here. Nuno wears a beleaguered look with sparse fans travelled to Manchester.

Brighton v Sunderland and Bournemouth v Burnley have not produced any action so far with no goals to show.

Chelsea and Newcastle produced a thriller but the next four fixtures are proving to be a dull affair so far.

West Ham have responded well to the first goal but another goal could kill off their confidence. City are building attack after attack and one killer pass could be the difference.

Man City 1-0 West Ham

Jinxed it! Tijjani Reijnders doubles City's lead and the former champions will go atop before Arsenal play Everton later tonight.

Man City 2-0 West Ham

Jaidon Anthony thinks he has given his side the lead against his former club, but only to find his teammate Laurent was offside.

• Man City 2-0 West Ham

• Brighton 0-0 Sunderland

• Wolves 0-0 Brentford

• Bournemouth 0-0 Burnley

All matches get underway in the four fixtures.

Gianluigi Donnarumma is called into action straightaway in the second half as the Italian produces a fine save from Crysencio Summerville and Freddie Potts. Nice start from the Hammers.

Man City 2-0 West Ham

After a dull first half, Brighton and Sunderland have come into life in the second half with some chances at either ends.

Another chance for Bournemouth as David Brooks gets away from his marker as he finds the back end of a cross but cannot direct his header on target.

Bournemouth 0-0 Burnley

After scoring two in the first half, Man City have mellowed down a bit and look conceding a goal with West Ham finding ample of chances to bury it but cannot do so.

Man City 2-0 West Ham

Keane Lewis-Potter has given Bees the lead and Wolves will feel they are hard undone by. A good start to the game and conceding in the second-half will not go down well with Edwards.

Wolves 0-1 Brentford

Erling Haaland seems to have killed off the contest with the game's third and Norway forward is on a hat-trick. Elsewhere, Antoine Semenyo gives Bournemouth the lead over Burnley.

That second goal from Erling Haaland puts him on 149 for Manchester City in all competitions.

Wolves need to win this or atleast gain a point or else they would go down as the worst team in the Premier League, alongside Derby County. Ladislav Krejcí goes down in the penalty area, but referee Matt Donohue isn't interested.

Wolves 0-1 Brentford

Black Cats are sitting deep and looking to hit on the counter but Brighton just cannot finish their dinner. Chances after chances but the Seagulls lack the killer edge.

Brighton 0-0 Sunderland

Keane Lewis-Potter makes it 2-0 and seems like it's game over for the home team. And to make matters worse, Jorgen Strand Larsen cannot put away the penalty and the score stays 2-0! Woeful.

Wolves 0-2 Brentford

Clarets finally earn a goal via Armando Broja who scores for the visitors and eases pressure on struggling Scott Parker.

Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

No hat-trick for Erling Haaland today. But Manchester City are top of the Premier League.

Man City 3-0 West Ham

• Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

• Wolves 0-2 Brentford

• Man City 3-0 West Ham

• Brighton 0-0 Sunderland
