I know this blog is the main event, but if you want a little livener then Scott Murray is on Chelsea v Manchester United, where Morgan Rogers has just given the home side a 1-0 lead:
A rare treat with five 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League this afternoon. There’s a Carabao Cup rematch at the Etihad as Brighton aim to get revenge for their defeat on penalties on Wednesday night. Bournemouth look to continue their good form against a resolute Leeds side, Brentford v Forest should be entertaining, there’s a basement battle between Coventry and Sunderland, while two promoted sides go at it with Ipswich on the road at Hull. In the Championship West Ham v West Brom will be worth keeping an eye on, my pick for League One is Mansfield v Notts County, and League Two leaders Salford welcome in-form Exeter to Moor Lane. I’ll be doing my best to keep you across all of it and first up is the team news, in about 15 minutes.
