Meanwhile at Gigg Lane: Bury fans have assembled to protest against their owner after their fourth game of the season, against Gillingham, was postponed.

Ipswich: My colleague Will Unwin has alerted me to this Ipswich Town goal gif, which hopefully didn’t take too many takes to record or James Norwood will have been hammered.

Correction: Arsenal 2-1 Burnley. My anti Arsenal bias had originally denied them two of the points they won against Burnley in today’s early kick-off. All fixed now.

League One

Portsmouth fans were forced out of their beds at the crack of dawn to make the 334-mile trip from Fratton Park to Sunderland for this afternoon’s lunchtime kick-off. It’s 1-1 at the Stadium of Light after 30 minutes, a scoreline with which Sunderland fans have become wearily accustomed in the past year.

The Championship

Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic are the surprise early pace-setters in the Championship and both sides will be hoping to make it three wins out of three this afternoon. Lee Bowyer takes Charlton to Barnsley, while Wednesday travel to the Den to take on Millwall. At the bottom of the table, Reading, Stoke City and Blackburn have yet to get a point on the board.

In last night’s game, Fulham beat Huddersfield Town by the odd goal of three, a defeat which cost Terriers boss Jan Siewert his job. The German took over in January following the resignation of David Wagner, but masterminded just one win in his 19 games in charge.
