Seven minutes of added time to play at St James’ Park where it’s still Newcastle 1-1 Man City.

Serie A latest: Udinese 0-1 Inter

It’s been a slightly sticky start to the season for champions Inter but they’ve taken the lead at Udinese today inside the opening minute via Davide Frattesi.

Still 1-1 at St James’ Park with 10 minutes to go. This would be four points dropped in two games for Manchester City. Those ‘without Rodri’ stats will no doubt be flashed up again if they fail to win here.

Goals in the Championship

Second-half strikes in all three games. Blackburn are 2-0 up on QPR after goals from Lewis Travis and Danny Batth; Josh Maja has pulled a goal back for West Brom, who now trail 2-1 at Sheffield Wednesday; and Borja Sainz has scored his second of the day for Norwich to give the Canaries the lead again after Craig Forsyth had levelled for Derby.

Nottingham Forest v Fulham team news

Everton v Crystal Palace team news

Big news for Everton as big defender Jarrad Branthwaite returns from a groin injury to make his first start of the season. Palace look to be lining up with a back four rather than a three.

Chelsea v Brighton team news

It’s a full house of 11 changes for Chelsea following their Carabao Cup win over Barrow. Malo Gusto comes in from the side that won at West Ham last weekend.

Brentford v West Ham team news

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Man City (Gordon 58)

Bang! There’s no Isak but Gordon steps up and sends Ederson the wrong way. Game on!

Newcastle have a penalty at home to Manchester City. Anthony Gordon bursts through and is tripped by Ederson, who picks up a yellow. VAR says yes, the spot-kick stands.

Oof!! Norwich lead at Derby but, come on, the ball was surely out in the build-up.

Premier League teams news arrives 75 minutes before kick-off these days so we’ll have starting XIs very soon.

More early kick-off news

But not great news for Deano’s former club Bradford, who trail 2-1 at Harrogate in a North v West Yorkshire derby. In the other League Two game that started early, Walsall lead Colchester 1-0. In League One, we’re into the second half of two games and it’s currently Crawley 0-1 Bolton and Reading 1-1 Huddersfield.

Championship half-times

It’s been a tough first period for leaders West Brom, who are 2-0 down at Sheffield Wednesday following a Darnell Furlong own goal (9) and a strike from Josh Windass (23) for the hosts. I drove past a place in Bradford a couple of days ago and saw an advert for an evening with Dean Windass. Good times for the Windass clan.

Blackburn 0-0 QPR
Derby 0-1 Norwich
Sheff Wed 2-0 West Brom

Preamble

While the top looks very familiar, there’s a slightly unusual look to the Premier League table this season due to six teams still having a zero in the ‘win’ column. Three of those sides – Leicester, Crystal Palace and Everton – are in action at 3pm. Leicester have it all on to break their duck given that they’re away at Arsenal while the other two, Everton and Palace, meet at Goodison. Pencil that in for a draw then. Wolves, who are bottom, host Liverpool in the 5.30pm game so there’s a fair chance we end today with six teams still searching for a first win.

At the other end of the table, Arsenal, Brighton and Nottingham Forest all go into their 3pm games with unbeaten records in the top-flight so far.

Elsewhere, Aberdeen can go top of the SPL for a few hours, with Celtic in action later today. And while it’s not on my watch, note that it’s Bayern v Leverkusen in the Bundesliga at 5.30pm.

These are our featured games, all 3pm kick-offs unless stated.

Half-time: Newcastle 0-1 Manchester City

It’s been a well-contested first 45 minutes at St James’ Park but City have the advantage after a Josko Gvardiol goal 10 minutes before the break. Nice set-up play from Jack Grealish and a classy finish from the Croatian.
