Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte was stretchered off with a knee injury during their 4-0 win over Brighton on Saturday, August 31, 2019.

"He has gone to the hospital. Tomorrow we will know exactly what he has. I think he will be out for a while," said City manager Pep Guardiola on Laporte's injury.

Liverpool maintained their 100 percent start to the Premier League season with a 3-0 win at Burnley on Saturday, August 31, 2019, to retake top spot from Manchester City.

Manchester United and Chelsea lost further ground on the leaders in disappointing draws with Southampton and Sheffield United.

Leicester are the closest challengers to the top two as their unbeaten start continued with a 3-1 win over Bournemouth.

Crystal Palace backed up their shock victory at Old Trafford last weekend with a 1-0 win over 10-man Aston Villa thanks to Jordan Ayew's goal 17 minutes from time.
