PENALTY AT THE LIBERTY STADIUM

GOAL! Sunderland 2-1 Crystal Palace
Premier League: Straight from the kick-off, Crystal Palace boot the ball long and Joe Ledley puts them back in the game with a shot that takes a deflection so wicked it should be a green-faced witch in a movie about a little girl from Kansas and her dog getting marooned in the land of Oz. Bah!
GOAL! Sunderland 2-0 Crystal Palace
Premier League: Jermain Defoe scores his second of the game (from an offside position) to double Sunderland’s lead against the Palace.

GOAL! Liverpool 4-1 Hull City

Updated
GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Hull City
Premier League: Boom! James Milner slots the ball into the corner to give Liverpool a 2-0 lead against 10-man Hull City, who look doomed. They’ve never won in 10 visits to Anfield and have shipped three or more goals in six out of those 10 games. Some prescient genius predicted a similar hiding this afternoon and it looks on the cards.
Penalty and red card at Anfield!
Hull City full-back Ahmed El Mohamady has been sent off for deliberate hand-ball. Liverpool have a penalty.
Meanwhile in the Championship: Huddersfield midfielder Rajiv van La Parra has just been sent off after picking up a second yellow card in quick succession in his side’s match against Reading. At Loftus Road, Lukas Jutkiewicz gave Birmingham City a 23rd minute lead against QPR.

An injury at the Stadium of Light

Updated
GOAL! Middlesbrough 0-1 Tottenham
Premier League: Son Heung-min has put Tottenham Hotspur a goal up against Middlesbrough with his third goal of the season. Seven minutes is all it took for the deadlock to be broken, due in no small part to some atrocious defending by Middlesbrough. Victor Valdes got a hand to the ball, but couldn’t keep out Son’s shot.

It's almost time ...
As referee Robert Madley leads Bournemouth and Everton out on to the Vitality Stadium pitch, Phil Jagielka claps his hands together three times and shouts “C’mon boys!” - a clarion call currently being echoed in tunnels the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. Kick-off is just moments away.
Crisis baton ...
Despite his side being bottom of the table and having conceded four goals in three of their five PRemier League matches this season, Mark Hughes looks relatively unperturbed ahead of his team’s match against West Brom. He’s dropped Shay Given to the bench and called goalkeeper Lee Grant up for his Premier League debut. His opposite number, Tony Pulis, has had to contend with a number of his players suffering from stomach bugs and colds during the week, as a dose of the lurgy swept through the West Brom dressing room.
Full time at Old Trafford: Man Utd 4-1 Leicester
It’s all over at Old Trafford, where Manchester United have beaten champions Leicester 4-1, courtesy of first half goals from Chris Smalling, Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba. Demarai Gray scored the goal of the game by way of consolation for Leicester early in the second half, but the main talking point of the day will inevitably be the omission of Wayne Rooney from Manchester United’s starting line-up. He put in an appearance for the final seven minutes. That’s Leicester’s third defeat of the season, the same number they recorded en route to winning the last campaign.

Sound the comeback klaxon
Manchester United 4-1 Leicester City: Demarai Gray, a halftime substitute for Jamie Vardy, has prompted a rousing rendition of “we’re going to win 5-4” from Leicester City’s travelling support at Old Trafford with an absolute screamer just before the hour mark. That was a wonderful goal. Follow the final half-hour here.

Greetings sports fans
The weekend’s Premier League programme is already under way at Old Trafford, where a Wayne Rooney-less Manchester United are slaughtering Leicester City 4-0 with eight minutes into the second half. Compared to last season, champions Leicester have been an uncharacteristic shambles at the back, conceding three of their four goals from corners. You can follow the conclusion of that with Rob Smyth’s minute-by-minute report, but we’ll keep you posted here while bringing you team news and build-up to the day’s other fixtures from around the grounds.
We’ll also be keeping tabs on the Championship, bring you any notable updates from the lower leagues and Scotland, where Celtic take on Kilmarnock, Hearts entertain Ross County, Inverness play Dundee and Partick Thistle host Motherwell.
