talkSPORT brings you all the latest updates from the Premier League and beyond.

After midweek European action, the Premier League is back and back with a bang with a huge Merseyside derby to kick-off the weekend.



Liverpool made it five from five this season and continued their Merseyside derby run with a 2-1 victory over Everton live on talkSPORT.



We'll also bring you EXCLUSIVE radio commentary of the 8pm kick-off between Fulham and Brentford, with goals as they go in from today's other games including Manchester United vs Chelsea at 5:30pm.

Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim issued a bullish response to calls for the United boss to change his system, insisting: "I'm doing things my way."

And talkSPORT understands Nuno Espirito Santo has been sounded out by West Ham as a possible replacement for Graham Potter, should the under-pressure boss get the sack.

WHO ELSE COULD IT BE!

Malick Diouf delivers a strange corner into the box.

It barely reaches the six-yard-box, but Jarrod Bowen just drops out towards the near post.

He flicks a header through bodies and into the bottom corner.

Out of nothing, it's game on!

West Ham cannot defend corners at all!

Adam Wharton delivers a brilliant ball into the heart of the six-yard-box.

Maxence Lacroix gets up and smacks his header off the bar.

Joe has gone for a well-earned break after that first 45 minutes, and I am here to take you through the remainder of the 3pm games.

It would be fair to say the first half was something else in terms of goals.

Let us hope for a cracking set of second halves as well.

GOALS EVERYWHERE!

Stach grabs the ball after Wolves give up possession.

He passes left to Okafor and Sa is beaten for the third time in the game with a low shot across his goal and into the bottom corner.

From 1-0 down to 3-1 up at the break - what a comeback from Leeds!

Some terrible defending from Brighton.

Richarlison is allowed to collect the ball in the box from Mohammed Kudus, take a touch, swivel 180 degrees and fire the ball in.

All the while, Brighton's defenders are just statues in the box.

Poor from them, but a good finish from the Brazilian and suddenly Spurs are back in it.

Another cracker!

What a turnaround from Leeds, who now lead through a fantastic free-kick.

Stach hits it so sweetly and doesn't bother going up and over the wall, he just smashes it in at the goalkeeper's near post.

Questions will be asked over Sa being beat there, but Stach's hit the ball so well it just flies past him.

Belter.

Palace are in front through their main man up front.

Marc Guehi gets on the end of a corner to nod the ball towards goal, and it comes off the bar after a deflection.

And Mateta is just the quickest to snap up the loose ball, as he heads the ball in.

WOW!

What a strike and Brighton have an early two-goal lead against Spurs!

Lucas Bergvall gives the ball to Ayari, and he has loads of time to wind up a shot and arrow a strong effort past Vicario.

The goalkeeper should probably do better, but what a hit.

The striker opens his account for Leeds and equalises for his new club.

It's a trademark header from the ex-Everton man, leaping high to meet Jayden Bogle's cross and loop his effort over Jose Sa.

It's his first goal since joining the Whites as a free agent in the summer.

Oh dear, Oleksandr Zinchenko is making his Forest debut today and he's had an absolutely stinker here.

Anthony's effort is towards goal but not a clean contact at all and Zinchenko looks like he's there to cover and clear off the line.

But the ex-Man City and Arsenal full-back falls over and instead hooks the ball into his own net.

It's looks like a calamitous own-goal, but Anthony's scruffed shot was heading in anyway, so it's officially his.

All square!

A really lovely, flowing move this, and a super finish at the end from the Czech man.

Tolu Arokodare collects the ball and plays it backwards to Fer Lopez, who then floats a beautiful pass into the box with his first touch for Krejci to run onto.

It's perfectly weighted, and the defender doesn't look out of place in the box as he scores past Karl Darlow with a really nice lofted finish.

This was very close, but after a VAR check for a very, very tight possible offside, the goal stands.

Minteh is sent clear on goal from a perfect through-ball from Georginio Rutter and there's no chance anyone catches him.

And he keeps his cool in front of goal, taking the ball around the goalkeeper and prodding home into an empty net.

Fast start from the Seagulls!

There's a goal already, just four minutes into the 3pms - but, sorry Fantasy Premier League manager, it's not Chris Wood.

It's a first Premier League goal since February for full-back Williams, who absolutely thumped the ball in the net from inside the box after a corner was knocked down.

It took a bit of a deflection, but it really was a properly hard hit strike.

There was no stopping it.

An early lead for Forest as Ange Postecoglou searches for his first victory in his third game in charge.

Yeah, we feel bad for jinxing this earlier - if you believe in that kinda thing.

Earlier we wondered whether today would be the day the Everton manager would finally end his horrible Anfield record...

and seconds later Liverpool scored the opener.

Everton were much improved in the second-half and brought the game to Liverpool, but the Reds held on for another three points at home against their rivals and the Scot coach.

And so Moyes' career-long wait for a victory at Anfield goes on...

Here's how the standings look ahead of the rest of today's games.

Liverpool are good, but they don't half make their fans sweat for these wins, do they?

Everton ended their long wait for a goal at Anfield, but could not do enough to turn around the Reds' 2-0 first-half lead.

For David Moyes, it’s 11 Anfield defeats in a row.

And the Reds extend their 100 per cent start to the new campaign and show why they’re the team to beat.

"Liverpool have been poor with the ball since half-time," says Charlie Adam on co-commentary for talkSPORT at Anfield.

"The last ten minutes are becoming dangerous for them, because Everton just need one moment.

"They just haven't had the same zip and control in possession, and they've given the ball away far too cheaply."

Florian Wirtz and Curtis Jones have both been brought on to presumably change that, but it's not working so far.

Ekitike has been brilliant leading the line for Liverpool today - but he's done a lot more than that, as his heatmap shows.

In the second-half, a tactical switch saw him put out on the left wing, with Cody Gakpo placed more centrally.

And now the striker has been replaced, with Isak now on the pitch searching for his first Liverpool goal.

What a hit, what a goal!

Everton have come out in this second-half with the extra purpose they needed, and they're right back in this one.

A cross from Grealish is brought down Ndiaye in the box, he then tees it up for Gueye who rifles a power-shot across the goal and into the top corner.

It's Everton's first goal at Anfield since 2021, when they beat the Reds 2-0.

But, as that game was during COVID, it means it's the first goal at Anfield Everton fans have actually seen with their own eyeballs since 2019.

Worth the wait?

two more to make it a day to remember.

And the way Liverpool's back-four have looked this season so far, it's certainly possible.

Game on!

What a signing this man has been for Liverpool.

The longer this streak goes on the more fans will be asking, should Isak even start in this team up front?

"Liverpool are not allowing Everton to breathe" - Charlie Adam

Tactically pretty perfect from Liverpool in the first 45 minutes as they hold a healthy lead at the break.

But they have shown signs that they can be got at - the battle between Jack Grealish and Conor Bradley has been a particularly tasty one.

But Everton really need to step it up and find a way to control the ball more after the break.

"Ekitike showing he's no understudy!"

The words of Sam Matterface as the summer signing continues his brilliant start in a Liverpool shirt to double their lead.

Gravenberch goes from scorer to provider, playing Ekitike through on goal with a lovely pass forward.

Ekitike takes a touch, and with his second pokes the ball through the legs of Pickford.

It makes you wonder why Liverpool spent all that extra money on Isak after their previous striker signing started so well.

But imagine when Isak is fully up and running too...
