An accusation of kit-clash bias: “With reference to Melissa’s comment about the Millwall keepers kit clashing with that worn by Norwich, why are Norwich wearing their third kit?” asks Sam Huscroft. “Surely that is the cause of the clash? Just a thought.”

Tottenham 1-1 Arsenal: Jan Vertonghen prevented Pierre Emerick-Aubamayang from knocking home the follow-up from his missed penalty in added time with an incredible block. It becomes slightly more credible when you see how far he’d encroached when the penalty was struck. Arsenal fans will be seething over this, although it was dreadful penalty.

Match report: Tottenham 1-1 Arsenal
Premier League: David Hytner was at Wembley to see Tottenham and Arsenal share the spoils in an entertaining game dogged – or enhanced, depending on your point of view – by controversy. Here’s how he saw it.
Prediction time: I’ve a sneaky feeling Huddersfield might beat Brighton today. At least I had, until I saw this ...
2 - Since 2011-12, when the Amex Stadium opened, Yorkshire teams have won just two of 30 visits there in league football (including play-offs), with Barnsley winning 2-1 in December 2013 and Sheffield Wednesday winning 1-0 in August 2014 (W2 D10 L18). Borders.

SCENES AT WEMBLEY!!!
Premier League: Pierre Emerick-Aubamayang has missed a penalty in added time at Wembley, squandering a glorious opportunity to nick the three points at the death for Arsenal. Davinson Sanchez had brought him down with a needless shove in the back and the striker had a poor penalty saved by Hugo Lloris. Aubamayang subsequently missed the follow-up, finding himself denied by a sensational block from Jan Vertonghen. Follow the knockings of that match with Simon Burnton ...

Updated
League One: Despite losing Jacob Brown to a red card after 34 minutes, Barnsley have taken the lead against Southend United, with Cameron McGeehan opening the scoring on 50 minutes. Victory this afternoon would take the Tykes to within two points of league leaders Luton ... for a couple of hours at least.
Scottish Premiership
Just the two games in the Scottish top flight today, what with the cream of the weekend’s action being reserved for the Scottish Cup quarter-finals. Kilmarnock host Motherwell and Livingston travel to basement-dwellers St Mirren in the games they’re all talking about.
League Two
Three points clear at the top of the table, Lincoln City are unbeaten in their past six games, but have won only one of them and travel to Forest Green today. Three points behind them, Bury entertain struggling Macclesfield, while third-placed Mansfield host Cheltenham Town. Anchored to the bottom of the table and issued with a winding up petition by HMRC earlier this week, Notts County host fellow strugglers Port Vale in a match both sides could really do with winning.
League One
Five points clear at the top of the table, Luton Town have what looks a relatively straightforward task when they entertain struggling Rochdale at Kenilworth Road. Third place Sunderland host Plymouth, whose travelling fans have to endure a 806-mile round trip. In the day’s early kick-off Barnsley travelled to Southend and it’s currently scoreless at Roots Hall, with the teams enjoying their half-time cuppas.
Championship
Arguably their most impressive performance of the season, an emphatic, exhilarating 4-0 win over West Brom, took Leeds United top of the Championship last night, which means Norwich and Sheffield United have a game in hand and are playing catch-up. A point behind Leeds, Norwich travel to Millwall, while Sheffield United don’t play until they meet Sheffield Wednesday in the Steel City derby on Monday night.
Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal got the day’s Premier League action under way, kicking off at Wembley in the day’s early fixture. It’s currently 1-0 to the Arsenal early in the second half and Simon Burnton has the latest. Table-toppers don’t play until tomorrow, when they make the short journey across Stanley Park to face, Everton, which Manchester City can go two points clear at the Premier League summit with victory over Bournemouth today.
Nearer the bottom of the table, Brighton need to get themselves out of trouble against a Huddersfield side that got their first win under new manager Jan Siewert during the midweek round of fixtures. Newcastle travel to West Ham, while Burnley and Crystal Palace go toe to toe at Turf Moor. Also in danger of the drop, Cardiff City and Southampton travel to Wolves and Manchester United respectively.
Your Saturday Clockwatch is here ...
Good day and welcome to your one-stop shop for all this afternoon’s football action. We’ll keep you updated on all the goals as they go in around the grounds on a busy day of Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two action.
