Only four of the Premier League’s five scheduled 10 a.m. ET kickoffs have started, and goals are at a premium.

Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United
Mesut Ozil’s left-footed side volley off a popped clearance has the Gunners on top at the Emirates Stadium.
Watford 0-2 Huddersfield Town
Elias Kachunga and Aaron Mooy had the visitors up a pair before the match was 25 minutes old, and Troy Deeney complicated Watford’s comeback hopes when he saw straight red after 32 minutes.
Stoke City 0-0 West Ham United (delayed)
A power outage pushed kickoff back 60 minutes at the bet365 Stadium.
Burnley 0-0 Brighton and Hove Albion
Not much cooking so far at Turf Moor, where James Tarkowski conceded a penalty to Glenn Murray only to see the PL veteran send his effort over the bar.
Chelsea 1-0 Southampton
The Blues are having trouble without Alvaro Morata up top at Stamford Bridge, so defender Marcos Alonso just whipped a free kick past an out-of-sorts Fraser Forster to make it 1-0.
GOALLL! Marcos Alonso puts Chelsea 1-0 up right on half time. Decent free kick but Fraser Forster has to do better. Got down very slow. #CFC 1-0 #SaintsFC #CHESOU
