Euro roundup, with more to follow.

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: Diego Gomez has fouled Wirtz, and it’s reckless, with VAR having a check. It’s yellow but it will not be red. That’s the last action of the half.

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: Minteh, whose decision-making can go awry, goes it alone as part of a three-man attack for Brighton. Shot is deflected. There are chances for the visitors here.

Chelsea 1-0 Everton: Thierno Barry, who scored his first goal last week, with his second shot on target of the entire season, slides across to miss a chance. A sadly familiar story for Everton fans.

Mary Waltz is in touch: “Management is backing Slot over Mo. Football is a brutal, what have you done for me lately business. That is why I laugh when I hear “we are a family” propaganda.”

So does Steven Mills: “Conspiracy theory - Gomez’s injury was staged to ‘force a rejig’ to get Salah on. I’m convinced...”

Championship: Morgan Whittaker puts Middlesbrough 2-0 up on QPR. Does Rob Edwards lie awake and wonder? His Wolves team play tonight, against Arsenal. Good luck with that.

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: This is an open game, and the Anfield crowd are enjoying it, plenty of applause for Wirtz who slowly but surely seems to be coming good. Now, when will it start happening for Alexander Isak?

Chelsea 1-0 Everton: From an unnamed source at the Bridge: “The amount of space the Ev are giving Chelsea…”

Championship: It’s Wrexham 1-1 Watford, the equaliser from the away side coming from Mamadou Doumbia. Read Barney Ronay’s piece on the Wrexham story.

Championship: Middlesbrough lead QPR 1-0, David Strelec getting it. Coventry City, the leaders, are currently 0-0 with Bristol City.

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: Ekitike and Wirtz have an understanding developing, and with Salah’s help, the striker goes close.

Championship: Birmingham 1-0 Charlton (Christoph Klarer 28) Not going well for Nathan Jones at the moment. Charlton have lost their last five.

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: Salah on the burst almost immediately, and goes close to setting up Ekitike, via Mac Allister.

Chelsea 1-0 Everton: Alcaraz does an Alcaraz thing and Garnacho does his compatriot a favour by missing the target.

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: Ekitike goes close after some skill from Wirtz, who is playing a free role.

Championship: Kyle Joseph has scored his second as Hull now lead 2-0 at Millwall.

Chelsea 0-0 Everton

Charly Alcaraz is on for Dewsbury-Hall, the sub is a player who always offers plenty, a real amusement arcade, and one to turn David Moyes’ hair yet whiter with his wilfulness.

Kári Tulinius gets in touch: “I don’t think Salah has meaningfully worsened over the last few months. He was always a sui generis player, and part of Klopp’s brilliance was setting up the team to get the best out of him. Slot clearly understood this last season, but when he started to change things around to prepare for the departure of that other sui generis talent, Alexander-Arnold, the changes stifled Salah. If someone manager has a plan for him, they might get a game-changing player on a favorable loan contract in January.”

Chelsea 0-0 Everton

Sad news as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, once of Chelsea, has pulled a hamstring. He’s quietly been one of the signings of the season, really good for Everton. That’s a shame.

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: Gomez, of Brighton, forces a fine save from Alisson, and the visitors are coming back into this one.

Jeremy Boyce gets in touch: “I’d just like to thank Richard Woods for supporting team who are one of the few (at this moment) who are even more rubbish than mine, Shrewsbury Town. We were rooted at the foot of the table but thankfully have managed to escape the drop zone for now, thanks to the likes of Rovers and Newport being even more useless. We’re away at Wolves in the next round of the Cup, chances there, but today we’re away at table-topping and hated local derby enemies Walsall. Mind you, they were top this time last year then blew it. All the same, a 4 - 1 thraping on the cards, see you soon Richard.”

Another Championship goal: Leicester 1-0 Ipswich, with a fine strike by Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

From the Championship, Millwall, pushing for promotion, are a goal down to Hull, Kyle Joseph getting it.

Chelsea 0-0 Everton

Reece James’s corner is nodded over by Trevoh Chalobah as Chelsea push on in the opening stages.

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton

Joe Gomez with the assist there, and it has to be said his return has been a good thing for Liverpool. He’s impressed since his return, and added solidity, and now an assist,

Away we go at Stamford Bridge and Anfield: Let’s see what this afternoon brings.

Championship: more details here, and this story will update with today’s action, too.

Big win for Swindon, grim for Bristol Rovers in League Two.

Those lunchtime results lifted Huddersfield above Wimbledon in League One.

Huge win for Norwich in the Championship:

That Salford City game finished 4-3 against Colchester for the Gary Neville-led club. Gary loves a Chinese banquet on a Saturday so that will taste that little bit nicer.

Andy Grace gets in touch: “Its crazy to see that Liverpool have two of the most devastating and feared forwards from last season on the bench, while feeling that the team would be weaker if they came on.”

Lunchtime EFL scores

Big win for Arsenal in the WSL. Everton beat Chelsea last week, of course.

Slot seems rather like a chilled-out entertainer of last season, it has to be said.

Arne Slot has been speaking to the BBC:

On Salah: “Like you said, he is back in the squad and on the bench today.”

Isak’s injury: Minor. Got a knock in both games. Games come quite fast and there is also not so much to choose from. Nice to have someone from the bench who can impact the game.”

“Quite proud because playing four games in 10 days - that is almost criminal for football players. Especially if you have only 13-14 outfield players that are available. We accept playing a lot of games, but four in 10 days. That is a lot to take for players.”

Dispatches from Caledonia, from our Simon McMahon: “As well as the two games in the Scottish Premier, there’s a tasty clash at Gayfield in the Scottish Championship where third place Arbroath host second place Partick. A win for the visitors would take them level with leaders St. Johnstone, who won at Ayr last night, while three points for the Red Lichties would close the gap on the top two. Can you tell I’m trying hard to avoid thinking about what might happen at Tannadice ...”

Keep us posted, Simon.

Gary Naylor is in the Bard’s neighbourhood: “I’m in Stratford Upon Avon for The BFG, trusting the RSC to expunge any residual antisemitism from the original (see it once in Dahl’s work and you see it everywhere).

“Anyway, I’m not allowed to check the phone for updates on the Everton score from the stalls am I? Not even in a kids’ show? A blessing in disguise given Everton’s record at Stamford Bridge.”

For Everton, Idrissa Gueye is back from his suspension for slapping a teammate, for his last game before Afcon, where he and Iliman Ndiaye will head. Four changes for Chelsea. Cole Palmer is back after missing Atalanta, Cole Palmer, alongside Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana and Alejandro Garnacho.

No Danny Welbeck for Brighton as Fabian Hurzeler seeks to pack the midfield with Jack Hinshelwood, with Georginio Rutter leading the line.

Two Liverpool changes from Milan, Florian Wirtz in for Isak. Milos Kerkez in for Andy Robertson. Watch out for Kerkez v Minteh today…

On that local derby, Richard Woods gets in touch: “Hi John. Bristol Rovers 0 Swindon 3 doesn’t tell the half of it. Ten League defeats in a row incoming, which is one club record. Five home losses in a row is another club record. Former manager and playing legend in the dugout for local rivals, and a former player captaining them, who has already scored. Oh and by the way we are down to ten men as well. It’s not much fun being a Gashead these days.”

For Swindon, Aaron Drinan has followed Rovers’ Kacper Lopata into the communal bath after a red card.

News from Spain, via AFP: “Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Kylian Mbappe is fit to play on Sunday against Alaves in La Liga, as his depleted team bid to turn around a run of bad results. Mbappe missed the Champions League defeat by Manchester City on Wednesday which left Madrid with just two wins in their last eight games and Alonso at risk of the sack. “We’ve got Kylian back, he’s ready to play, and tomorrow we’ll see and decide (if he starts), that’s good news obviously,” Alonso said on Saturday. Real Madrid are without several injured players for the game in Vitoria, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga. Fran Garcia, Alvaro Carreras and Endrick are also suspended. Defender Dean Huijsen is likely to return for the clash at Alaves which could define Alonso’s future.”

Norwich are back in front, the goal coming from Jovon Makama, his second.

Some goals have done in, and it’s Huddersfield 1-1 Wigan, Oxford 1-2 Preston, Salford 1-2 Colchester, Norwich 1-1 Southampton.

At Norwich, whose goal came from Jovon Makama, Southampton missed a first-half penalty and have now equalised through Ryan Manning.

Liverpool fans appear less well disposed to Salah than those back in his home country.
