Arsenal or Hull City v Watford
Manchester United v West Ham United
Kick off: Alex Iwobi and Olivier Giroud get us off and running, with Arsenal in red rather than the blue they were expected to wear.
2 mins: Theo Walcott has started on the left once more, a position where he has had a grand total of zero impressive performances. Time to change that today you feel,
3 mins: And just like that he has the ball in the net! But Walcott is offside from a clipped ball over the top as the Hull backline move up smartly. A crisp volleyed finish though.
6 mins: A fine burst down the right flank by Chambers forces Odubajo into a diving tackle near the box that wins a throw in in a good position.Chambers wastes that throw, bouncing a ball near Campbell that the forward can't control. It rolls out wide.
9 mins: Odubajo gets forward as does Elmohamady down the right. Both are caught out when Ospina launches a fast counter, the ball moving from left to right to find Campbell in space to attack the Hull defence.He tries a curler at the far post but can't get the bend on the effort and sends it well wide.

12 mins: Nice combination play by Campbell and Giroud but it's utterly wasted by Gibbs, who gives the ball away under no pressure whatsoever. Typical of Arsenal's slow opening so far.
15 mins: A lovely touch by Giroud, looking bright so far, on the edge of the area as he tries to slip Chambers' low cross past Bruce. But the centre-back stands tall and blocks the Arsenal man's attempts to get past him.
17 mins: Something of a worry here for Wenger as Mertesacker remains down clutching his head after coming together with Nick Powell.
Nacho Monreal is warming up and it looks like he'll be needed.
