    Amalfitano settles it for West Ham.

    Ah, right. Thanks.

    I reckon Liverpool will come back to win this.

    There's still time...

    Liverpool should've defended that a lot better

    Early days but the Liverpool squad doesn't look anywhere near as good as Chelsea/Man City/Arsenal or even Man United. Very difficult to see them challenging for the Champions League places.

    They have invested all the Suarez money and tens of millions more. They cannot be a worst team after over 100m investment.

    They can if the players they've bought don't collectively boost the team as much as the one they've sold.

    Suarez and Sturridge carried that Liverpool team last season. These results shouldn't surprise people.

    Falcao looks like he can do more than just score. That was a very good cross for the goal

    What a sublime lob from di Maria.

    United looking the real deal so far.

    Leicester prove the adage that you're always at your most vulnerable after you've just scored - 2-1 and it's that man Ulloa again.

    Terrific start to this match.

    Can't believe how well Ulloa is doing in the PL, watching him in the Championship I would never have thought he was capable of making the step up.

    I guess this is what 63 million buys you.

    Still looking forward to some attacking teams going at that united defence

    I'm pleased that Southampton are doing well after all those departures.

    Shame the departed aren't living up to their value.

    Not really surprising. That sort of thing often goes to the head. And those that are left behind or come in as replacements have a lot to prove and step up their games.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Leicester against a team they'd be expected to beat (I didn't see their game against Stoke).

    They seem OK defensively but they don't seem that great going forward (although Schlupp has been lively when I've seen him come on as a sub). Ulloa relies on crosses.

    Leicester have equalised!

    Totally agree - in fact it should have been a free kick the other way.

    Think we'll be hearing a great deal about that post-match if it enables Leicester to get a result out of this match.

    Clattenburg is an absolute joke, nothing new there.

    united should have been closing it out - but a terrible pen decision and some keystone cops defending means its now three all!
