Image source, Getty ImagesSho: Brentford should be three up! Sensational so far, but they will regret these missed chances.
Man City 0-1 Brentford
Simon Stone
BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at the Etihad Stadium
Image source, Getty ImagesI have rarely seen Manchester City look like this.
Nathan Collins was on his own in the area and forced a goal-line save from Ederson.
Brentford could have scored three.
Their fear will be they will be made to pay for only scoring once but City have to improve otherwise they will concede again.
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
No shots in the game at all so far at Anfield. I'm sure Forest fans would have settled for this as a start.
Man City 0-1 Brentford
Off the line!
Brentford have a corner and Nathan Collins is unmarked in the middle of the penalty area and his effort is denied by a brilliant reaction save from Ederson low down to his right.
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Emlyn Begley

Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is very much treating the technical area as a recommendation and not a rule in the early stages. He has to move out of the way so Andy Robertson can take a throw-in.
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Chris Sutton
Former Celtic striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Trent is playing so high and that's causing Forest problems.
Forest have set up with a 4-4-1-1 - Gibbs-White is playing off Chris Wood. This gives Forest the option to go direct.
He takes up some interesting positions, Trent - he is floating around the pitch.
Liverpool are trying to get overloads all over the pitch.
Fulham 0-0 West Ham
Any other neutrals a bit surprised that Joachim Andersen left Palace for Fulham? He has sprayed a gem of a pass out wide to start another Fulham attack which is cleared. No real chances yet at the Cottage but it's nice and bright.
Man City 0-1 Brentford
Manchester City = rattled.
Yoane Wissa fancies his chances again but Ederson comes right out of his goal mouth to clear.
Moments later, Keane Lewis-Potter clips one in to the back post and Bryan Mbeumo goes for the spectacular with an attempted overhead kick. Goodness me.
Man City 0-1 Brentford
Ashley Williams
Former Wales defender on Final Score
It's early in the game, the first attack of the game.
Yoane Wissa is an impressive player.
I still feel like Man City are going to win the game. Fair play to Brentford, they have come out on the front foot.
John Stones messed up the clearance which can happen sometimes and Wissa is in the right place at the right time.

Brentford making the classic mistake of scoring too early against City. We all know what happens next...
Michael
I'm a bit nervous for Brentford scoring so early. City have got the whole game to take revenge.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
The first chance for Mo Salah to run at the Forest defence but Dominik Szoboszlai gets the second part of a one-two all wrong and kills the momentum.
Man City 0-1 Brentford
Simon Stone
BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at the Etihad Stadium
I was just writing about the minutes' applause for before kick-off for former England and Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson when Brentford scored.
It was a real mess from John Stones and Ederson and Yoane Wissa stuck the ball into an empty net.
Bryan Mbeumo should have made it two when he was one-on-one with Ederson.
I have a member of the Brentford staff next to me. He was unimpressed by that judging by the ferocity he slammed his hands into the table.
Man City 0-1 Brentford
Manchester City look somewhat all over the place here. Bryan Mbeumo is through on goal but can't quite sort his feet out and it's a piece of last-ditch defending from Rico Lewis which keeps the deficit to just one.
That goal actually came after 22 seconds, the fastest goal in the Premier League so far this season.
The question is, have Brentford just poked the bear?
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Chris Sutton
Former Celtic striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
You cannot be anything but impressed by the way Liverpool have started the season under Arne Slot.
Slot has gone about it in a understated way and Liverpool have played with an excellent balance.
Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester
Jordan Ayew should really do better against his old club.
Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi stands one up to the back post but Ayew shoots into the ground and the ball bounces harmlessly over.
Fulham 0-0 West Ham
West Ham's first real passage of attacking play is decent but Michail Antonio is forced wide by some good covering defending and the danger is gone.
Brighton 0-0 Ipswich
Brighton first to threaten at the Amex as Carlos Baleba's snapshot from 20 yards brings a good save out of Ipswich keeper Arijanet Muric.
Man City 0-1 Brentford
Will Perry
BBC Radio 5 live commentator
Wissa heading it into an empty net.
A shambles from a defensive point of view from Man City.
Liverpool 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Now that Chris Sutton has pointed it out Forest do look a bit incongruous in this shade of light blue. Andy Robertson is in need of treatment after taking a blow to the face.
Yoane Wissa (1 min)
Image source, Getty ImagesWell, we've barely even got going at the Etihad before Yoane Wissa heads home from four yards out.
John Stones did not defend Keane Lewis-Potter's header back across goal and also evaded Ederson, leaving the Brentford striker with an empty net to head into.
Just 23 seconds on the clock. Incredible.

Bournemouth are winless in five Premier League meetings with Chelsea (D2 L3), having won three of their previous four against the Blues prior to this (L1).
Chelsea have lost just one of their seven Premier League away games against Bournemouth (W4 D2), with three of their four defeats in the competition against the Cherries coming at Stamford Bridge.
Bournemouth are unbeaten in all three of their Premier League games so far this season (W1 D2) – they’ve never gone four without defeat from the start of a campaign in the competition before.
Bournemouth beat Everton 3-2 last time out, despite trailing 2-0 up to the 87th minute, the latest a team has come from 2+ goals down to win a Premier League game. It was the Cherries’ third win from 2+ goals behind since their return to the competition in 2022, more than any other team in that time.
Chelsea have won each of their last three Premier League away games, last having a longer run between February and April 2022 (4).
Chelsea have conceded at least once in each of their last 17 Premier League away games, shipping 36 goals in total in this run. Only once have they had a longer run without a clean sheet on the road in the competition, going 24 games between January 1993 and February 1994.
Both Bournemouth and Chelsea have scored a joint league-high four second half goals in the Premier League this season. All four of Bournemouth’s have been in the final five minutes of games (86th minute onwards), while all four of Chelsea’s came in their only away game so far against Wolves.
Chelsea’s Premier League win rate in August is 61.1%, their highest in any month excluding June/July, while it drops to 47.8% in September (their second-lowest). Excluding June and July, only Arsenal have a bigger such drop from one month to the next among ever-present sides in the competition (61.4% in October, 45.4% in November).
Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo has had more shots than any other Premier League player this season (17). Meanwhile, Semenyo (17 shots, 4 chances created) and teammate Marcus Tavernier (12 shots, 9 chances created) have been directly involved in 21 attempts so far, with only Kevin De Bruyne (23) being involved in more in the division.
As well as having the most assists so far (4), no player has created more big chances than Chelsea’s Cole Palmer in the Premier League this season (4). Palmer is averaging a goal (23) or assist (15) every 76 minutes in the competition for Chelsea, the second-best rate of any player with at least 1,000 minutes for a specific club (behind only Erling Haaland, one every 67 with Man City).
