Premier League LIVE: Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka shake off knocks to both start for Arsenal at Bournemouth while Mateo Kovavic comes in for banned Rodri for Man City at Wolves

Summer signing David Raya has once again been named Arsenal’s number one at the Vitality Stadium, while Aaron Ramsdale has once again been restricted to a place on the bench.

Mikel Arteta insisted the former Brentford goalkeeper had been brought in to provide competition for the England international between the sticks, a decision that proved controversial among many former goalkeepers.

With three consecutive games in the starting XI now under his belt, it appears Arteta has made up his mind and Raya will be the club’s first choice this season.

Last semester they had to chase Arsenalpossibly overtake the Gunners in the final weeks of the campaign, but this time they have flown out of the blocks.

Pep Guardiola‘s men won their first six league games, scoring sixteen goals and conceding just three times. They made an early effort for a sixth title in seven years.

With kick-off getting closer, we’ll soon be bringing you team news on all five 3pm kick-offs covered here…

On a busy day of action in the Premier League, we have five separate matches to focus on today, all kicking off at 3pm.

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have picked up where they left off in the Premier League last season and are the only team to maintain their 100% winning record six games into the season. However, a midweek defeat to Newcastle in the EFL Cup could provide the first glimpse of a chink in the Citizens’ armor to face Gary O’Neil’s Wolves at Molineux.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will look to continue their unbeaten start to the season against Bournemouth, just outside the relegation zone, as the only non-promoted team to record their first win this season so far.

Fresh from the momentum of a major cup win in midweek, Newcastle will look to inflict further misery on Vincent Kompany’s Burnley at St James’ Park but a lack of attacking options with both Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak in doubt due to injury.

After bouncing back from a disappointing domestic campaign with their European exploits at the end of last season, David Moyes’ West Ham have enjoyed a much better start this time around, even without talisman Declan Rice. Today they host a bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United side, having scored seventeen goals in six games.

And finally, fresh from their first win of the season, Sean Dyche’s Everton will look to continue their newfound momentum against strugglers Luton at Goodison Park. Rob Edwards’ side defied all odds to reach the top flight, but with just three goals this season, it will take a dramatic change in fortunes to have any hope of survival.

Manchester United have suffered another faltering start to a Premier League season under Erik ten Hag, but they have the chance to secure back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season when they take on the Crystal Palace of Roy Hodgeson.
