Half-time
And that’s the half-time whistle around the grounds. Let me bring you some scores…
Championship: Sean McLoughlin has been shown a red card and Blackburn are down to 10 men against Norwich. The Canaries are also awarded a penalty and Josh Sargent converts to give them a 1-0 lead.
Championship: Portsmouth lead Preston thanks to a goal from Andre Dozzell. Meanwhile, Bristol have extended their advantage against Hull through Emil Riis.
Championship: Ipswich have taken the lead against Derby at Portman Road. Oxford have drawn level against Coventry and Bristol lead Hull 2-1 at Ashton Gate.
Premier League: Nightmare for Manchester United. Matheus Cunha goes to ground holding his hamstring and will not be able to continue. He is forced off. Will Benjamin Sesko replace him? No. It’s Joshua Zirkzee.
GOAL! Wolves 1-2 Everton (Iliman Ndiaye, 33)
Everton lead once again! This time through Iliman Ndiaye. A well-worked goal from the Toffees which culminated in a close-range strike from the edge of the six-yard box.
GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Burnley (Josh Cullen OG, 27)
A free kick is sent into the box, Casemiro heads it towards goal and his effort hits the crossbar, bounces down and hits Josh Cullen. The midfielder can’t do anything about it as the ball drops over the line.
GOAL! Wolves 1-1 Everton (Hwang Hee-chan, 21)
Hwang scores the much-needed equaliser for Wolves! Marshall Munetsi makes a run down the right with the ball before drilling a low cross into the box, putting it on a plate for the forward to fire it into the net.
Premier League: A goal has been disallowed at the Stadium of Light. Dango Ouattara put the ball in the net for Brentford but the strike has been ruled out due to an offside.
Premier League: No penalty! After a review, the penalty awarded to Manchester United was overturned because the contact was deemed to have been made outside the box. A drop-ball has instead been given to Dúbravka.
Scottish Premiership
Premier League: Manchester United have been awarded a penalty following a foul on Mason Mount from Kyle Walker. VAR is currently reviewing it to check if the contact was made outside the box.
League One: An own-goal from Teddy Sharman-Lowe has put Blackpool into the lead against Bolton.
Championship: Cameron Archer strikes in the 10th minute to give Southampton the advantage over Watford.
Meanwhile, Coventry lead Oxford thanks to Haji Wright. Surely we won’t see another seven goals today…
League Two: Colchester have taken a 1-0 lead over Barnet thanks to Jack Tucker, while Crawley have the advantage over Chesterfield following a strike from Harry McKirdy.
GOAL! Wolves 0-1 Everton (Beto, 7)
Beto strikes first at Molineux by heading past José Sá and into the bottom corner!
Jack Grealish with another assist.
League One: Jayden Fevrier fires Stockport into the lead against Wigan in League One.
GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Bournemouth (Evanilson, 5)
A strike from Evanilson deflects off Cristian Romero and loops over Guglielmo Vicario before bouncing into the net!
Bristol City 0-1 Hull City: And the first goal of the afternoon comes from Hull! Joe Gelhardt with the strike.
Kick-off
We’re under way in the 3pm games! Now let’s see where the first goal comes from…
Mary Waltz has messaged in from California to say:
“This Everton fan is happy that Strand Larson is not playing. Not very sporting. But that’s that. Fulham was done over by VAR. Bin it.”

James Humphries has messaged in to say: “Big day in north Lanarkshire – Killie come to fir park under our ex-manager* Kettlewell, who quit citing fan abuse. I must confess I never heard anything beyond the usual for managerial abuse, but that is a pretty ridiculous standard to begin with, so it will be… interesting to see what sort of welcome he gets.
“Anyway, with the well going pretty, uh, nicely under Askou’s possession-based football, and Kettlewell’s Killie below us only alphabetically, this could be pretty tasty; especially considering Kettlewell is fairly combustible type (I think he had three touchline bans last season, and that was only up to about February). Lots to look forward to then, and we’ll see how cheery I am after we’ve lost to the inevitable injury-time sickener.”

Full-time: Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
Goals from Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez helped Chelsea to a 2-0 win over Fulham at Stamford Bridge. The match was overshadowed by some controversial decisions which left Marco Silva and the visitors furious.

Shaun T has messaged in to have his say on Ruben Amorim’s team selection:
“Any thoughts on why a club in need of a striker would fork out 66 million quid for one (Sesko) but choose not to play him? Is he injured? They need goals.”
To be completely honest, my guess is as good as yours! I don’t think he’s injured. At least, nothing has been said about any kind of injury. He should be fully match fit considering he had a full pre-season with RB Leipzig before moving to Manchester.
I’d have thought this would have been the perfect game to put him in from the start. Like you say, United need goals!
Jørgen Strand Larsen is not in the Wolves squad this afternoon amid rumours of a potential move to Newcastle. The Magpies saw two bids for the striker knocked back before finally signing Nick Woltemade, a move which was confirmed earlier today.
Wolves boss Vitor Pereira said yesterday that Strand Larsen was being treated for a minor knock.
Andre Onana has been dropped by Ruben Amorim for Manchester United’s match against Burnley this afternoon. The goalkeeper was heavily criticised for his performance against Grimsby on Wednesday. However, Amorim refused to point the blame at him.

Preamble
Hello, good afternoon and welcome to another Clockwatch. We have four Premier League fixtures to look forward to this afternoon, with the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham in action.
Following their shock Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town midweek, United host Burnley at Old Trafford in what could be viewed by some as a must-win game. Speaking of Grimsby, they face Bristol Rovers in League Two at the same time.
Meanwhile, Tottenham welcome Bournemouth to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as they look to continue their perfect start to the campaign.
Elsewhere, Wolves – who are yet to win a Premier League match this season – take on Everton and Sunderland host Brentford.
I’ll also bring you updates from across the EFL as the 3pm BST matches get under way.
