West Ham United 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur: The Irons welcome back ex-manager Harry Redknapp and striker Jermain Defoe, though will be cautious given his form alongside Robbie Keane and Aaron Lennon
Fabio Capello and Franco Baldini are in attendance at Upton Park to scout a raft of England players such as Defoe and Lennon, Carlton Cole, Robert Green, Scott Parker, Tom Huddlestone, Mark Noble, Ledley King...
Of course, West Ham's manager Gianfranco Zola is another Italian who knows about working with English talent, both established, like Matthew Upson, and emerging, like Junior Stanislas
A long clearance is nodded down by Luis Jimenez, picked up by Cole, who turns and half-volleys the ball past Carlo Cudicini from 20 yards to put West Ham ahead in the second half
Moments later Cole cancels out his brilliant strike with a misplaced pass straight to Defoe in the Hammers box and the most prolific marksman in the division gladly makes it 1-1
Spurs plough forward and get their reward when Lennon cuts inside from the right and places the ball past Green's desperate right hand to win the game and give Tottenham three wins out of three
Burnley 1-0 Everton: In between Sunday's pair of all-London games, David Moyes will want his Everton side to get their season back on track but face opponents with a 100% Premier League Lancashire derby record
Wade Elliott, a free signing from Bournemouth, gets the opening goal of the game - receiving the ball in the right channel, cutting in, and curling the ball past Tim Howard with the help of a faint deflection off Phil Neville
The Toffees spurn a lot of first-half pressure but Steven Fletcher of Burnley is guilty of the biggest miss, an unmarked header from little more than six yards in the centre of the goal
For the second time in a week Burnley survive an opposition penalty as Luis Saha sends his spot-kick wide of Brian Jensen's right-hand post after Tony Hibbert's tumble in the box
Moyes is bested by compatriot and counterpart Owen Coyle who now has Everton's scalp to hang beside Manchester United's with two wins and two clean sheets in a row at home for Burnley
Fulham v Everton: Although Chelsea have two wins out of two they have come from behind in both games, something not many teams find easy against Roy Hodgson's professional outfit
Fulham's defence, so mean and consistent under Hodgson, are broken just before the break as Didier Drogba keeps onside by a toe's length to finish the good work of Nicolas Anelka and Frank Lampard
Drogba returns the favour in the second half by playing in Anelka who takes the ball around Mark Schwarzer as if he wasn't there to make it 2-0 and wrap up the three points
