PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE: Follow the action from around the grounds as it happens




3.25pm: Newcastle are on top at St James' Park, Leon Best has just hit the post.
3.19pm: Woodgate has been substituted by Tony Pulis already after a nightmare start to the game.
GOAL! Wolves 1 Stoke 0: Hunt (pen)
We have our first Premier League goal of the afternoon... Stephen Hunt buries the penalty after Matt Jarvis was brought down by Jonathan Woodgate, who was lucky not to pick up his second yellow.

3.15pm: Meanwhile, down in the Championship, Brighton are down to nine men after just 15 minutes against Burnley.

3.05pm: Still no goals in the Premier League. Everton have started brightly at Goodison and Marouane Fellaini has stung John Ruddy's fingertips already.
3pm: We're underway...

2.50pm: So, we're all set for an intriguing set of matches in the middle and at the bottom of the Premier League. Norwich and Swansea have both made strong starts to the season but face tough away trips today. Were they to lose then the likes of Blackburn, Everton, Fulham and Wolves will have a chance to suck them into the relegation scrap if they can pick up home wins. We have a relatively local tie between Wolves and Stoke and have two managers in trouble desperately looking for a win in the shape of Blackburn boss Steve Kean and Bolton manager Owen Coyle.
