GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Wolves (Nathan Redmond, 2 minutes)
What a start for Southampton!
Josh Sims, starting for the first time this season, is involved in the build up but it is Nathan Redmond who scores brilliantly, beating Romain Saiss to the ball and finding an incisive finish.
Burnley 0-0 Cardiff, 2 minutes
Nearly a great start for Burnley, too, Chris Wood heading against the post after a Dwight McNeil free kick.
Fulham 0-0 Everton, 5 minutes
Positive beginning for Fulham, seeking a first win under Scott Parker this afternoon.
Aleksandar Mitrovic curls into Jordan Pickford's arms.
A rip-roaring start from Southampton, the earliest of leads through Nathan Redmond.
Southampton 1-0 Wolves, 10 minutes
Wolves have come back into this one well, however, and Leander Dendocker should find the target with his header from a lovely Joao Moutinho free kick, just directing the ball wide.
Burnley 0-0 Cardiff, 11 minutes
Neil Etheridge is briefly caught out as he jostles at a corner, Burnley's sizeable cohort testing the Cardiff goalkeeper aerially.
Etheridge just about gets a paw to the ball to get it away.
