Welcome! The weekend Premier League action got under way last night with Southampton earning a good point at Brighton and actually feeling aggrieved that it wasn’t all three after more VAR controversy.

So there’s all that plus news from the EFL and Europe. Leeds can return to the top of the Championship with victory at Blackburn (1.30pm) while we’ll check in on the trio of live Championship games and also bring you hot news from the FA Cup second round. Sounds fun doesn’t it and for those looking for a further fix when this clockwatch shuts down, there’s West Ham v Arsenal in a separate MBM at 5.30pm. Join me!

Key events
Jeremy Boyce gets in touch via email.
“Leeds fan here, so “thanks” for the update from Ewood Park. The Forest – Ipswich match looks pretty tasty, and plenty riding on it for both teams. Ipswich desperately need to turn their agreeable playing style into points, Forest have already turned their agreeable style into surprisingly many points but need to get back on track after two reversals. Could be fun. 0-0 then.”
Barcelona 1-2 Las Palmas. As I was saying, plenty of time for the hosts. Although I wasn’t thinking of a sentence ending ‘to ship another shock goal’. Good grief, the visitors are back in front. Fabio Silva with the goal to get the locals muttering again.
Barcelona 1-1 Las Palmas. Barca are level and it’s a tidy goal from Brazilian forward Raphinha. Still around half an hour to go there so plenty of time for the hosts.
As for Raphinha’s former team Leeds, they trail 1-0 at the break against Blackburn at Ewood Park. The visitors have had 69% possession but just haven’t done enough with it. The second half about to start.
Results from the early kick-offs in the Championship and League Two. Middlesbrough jump to fifth, edging (on goal difference) above Watford, who are held at home by second-bottom QPR.
Championship:
-
Middlesbrough 3-1 Hull
-
Oxford 1-1 Millwall
-
Watford 0-0 QPR
League Two:
-
Carlisle 1-1 Crewe
-
Fleetwood 0-0 Colchester
Oxford 1-1 Millwall. Tyler Goodrham looks to have rescued a point for Oxford with an equaliser four minutes from time.
Barcelona 0-1 Las Palmas. Yikes. The visitors take the lead in the 49th minute via Sandro Ramirez. What madness is this.
Just under 26 hours until Liverpool v Manchester City. Some previews to whet the appetite:
Barcelona 0-0 Las Palmas. Barca are dominant (68% possession, 10 shots to 3) but they’re drawing 0-0 at the break against Las Palmas.
Middlesbrough 3-1 Hull. After their glut of recent goals dried up in a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn, Middlesbrough are back at it and now have three against Hull. Tommy Conway’s second of the game with 11 minutes left looks likely to secure all three points.
Premier League team news. So, digesting some of those starting XIs, it’s good news for Crystal Palace with Eberechi Eze returning following a hamstring injury. Jefferson Lerma also comes back. Nottingham Forest have made five changes from the team that lost at Arsenal, with Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson among those returning. Antoine Semenyo and Lewis Cook are suspended for Bournemouth – that’s a blow – so Ryan Christie and David Brooks get the call. But perhaps the biggest eyebrow raising is at Leicester where first-team coach Ben Dawson, likely prompted by Ruud van Nistelrooy (sitting in the stands), has given first Premier League starts of the season to Conor Coady and Luke Thomas.
Nottingham Forest v Ipswich team news
Nottingham Forest: Sels, Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Yates, Anderson, Jota, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Wood.
Ipswich: Muric, Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Burgess, Davis, Morsy, Cajuste, Hutchinson, Chaplin, Szmodics, Delap.
Wolves v Bournemouth team news
Wolves: Sa, Semedo, Lemina, Toti, Ait-Nouri, Andre, J. Gomes, Bellegarde, R. Gomes, Cunha, Strand Larsen.
Bournemouth: Kepa, Kerkez, Senesi, Brooks, Evanilson, Christie, Adams, Smith, Tevernier, Kluivert, Zabarnyi.
Blackburn 1-0 Leeds. Bad news for the 7,000 travelling Leeds fans as Rovers go ahead via Todd Cantwell’s 22th-minute penalty.
Crystal Palace v Newcastle team news
Crystal Palace: Henderson, Munoz, Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi, Mitchell, Lerma, Hughes, Eze, Mateta, Sarr.
Newcastle: Pope, Schar, Joelinton, Tonali, Gordon, Isak, Hall, Livramento, Willock, Burn, Guimaraes.
Brentford v Leicester team news
Brentford: Flekken, Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter, Norgaard, Jensen, Damsgaard, Schade, Mbeumo, Wissa.
Leicester: Hermansen, Justin, Faes, Coady, Okoli, Thomas, Ndidi, Soumare, Buonanotte, Ayew, Vardy.
Here’s the match report of Wycombe’s FA Cup win at Wealdstone. Our Simon Burnton was there.
As we await the starting XIs, here’s Will Unwin’s piece on how Liverpool have gone to the toppermost of the poppermost in both the Premier League and Champions League.
Premier League team news now drops 75 minutes before kick-off so (counts fingers, thumbs and toes) we’ll bring it to you very shortly.
Here’s a thing – Barcelona are in action right now too! Yes, you heard that right. The Catalans are top of La Liga but have stuttered recently with a draw and a loss in two away games. They remain perfect at home though and are looking to make it six wins out of six with victory over 17th-place Las Palmas. Nothing doing just yet though and it’s 0-0 with 30 minutes gone.
Half-times in the early kick-offs around the country below. We’ve already had one result in the FA Cup with League One Wycombe winning 2-0 at National League Wealdstone. Wycombe reach the third round for the first time since 2020/21.
Championship:
-
Middlesbrough 2-0 Hull
-
Oxford 0-1 Millwall
-
Watford 0-0 QPR
League Two:
-
Carlisle 1-0 Crewe
-
Fleetwood 0-0 Colchester
Preamble
Welcome! The weekend Premier League action got under way last night with Southampton earning a good point at Brighton and actually feeling aggrieved that it wasn’t all three after more VAR controversy. That means there’s no 12.30pm fixture today but there’s plenty to tuck into at 3pm with four top-flight games kicking off. Okay, none of the top six are in action but there’s plenty of intrigue in this quartet of fixtures:
Brentford v Leicester
Crystal Palace v Newcastle
Nottingham Forest v Ipswich
Wolves v Bournemouth
Can you look at any of those four and be confident of a winner? Okay, Brentford have been awesome at home (five wins and a draw in six matches). But what about the Ruud van Nistelrooy Leicester bump effect? There’s a sentence.
So there’s all that plus news from the EFL and Europe. Leeds can return to the top of the Championship with victory at Blackburn (1.30pm) while we’ll check in on the trio of live Championship games and also bring you hot news from the FA Cup second round.
