Tumbleweed ... As our three o’clockers hit the 10-minute mark, there seems to be a strange reluctance to score goals in grounds the length and breadth of the country ... with a few notable exceptions. Chelsea have scored the only goal in the Premier League, while Cardiff are the only team to have got one in the Championship. Actually, hold on ...
A goal in the Championship: Still looking for their first win of the year at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland go behind to Cardiff City. Craig Bryson with the goal there.

The three o’clockers are under way! And we have a goal already!

Mauricio Pochettino speaks: “I am in love with him,” he says of Harry Kane with a smile upon being interviewed by Sky Sports after his side’s win over West Ham. Quite what Harry’s girlfriend will make of that statement remains to be seen!
Right, that’s all from me. Barry Glendenning is on hand to take you through the day’s thrills and spills – enjoy. I’ll leave you with Barney Ronay’s on-the-whistle report from the London Stadium:
We’ve got Manchester City v Crystal Palace live for you right here, by the way, with Bob Williams:
Premier League
All the lineups can be found below, and perhaps the most interesting news is Gabriel Jesus’s omission from Manchester City’s team to face Crystal Palace, with Leroy Sané and Raheem Sterling starting alongside Sergio Agüero in a formation I don’t intend to predict. Manchester United and Southampton are both unchanged for their meeting at St Mary’s, while Paul Clement has mixed his team up with Renato Sanches dropping to the bench and Wilfried Bony making his first start on his return to the club, against Watford.
Serie A
Roma host struggling Udinese in the day’s early kick-off in Italy, where Edin Dzeko has put the home side in front after 12 minutes. He has 22 goals in his last 22 games, I’m told. Hot form.
Full-time: West Ham 2-3 Tottenham
The game ends in a melee of flailing hands and frustration, but Spurs hold on to claim all three points. They climb to third in the Premier League, for now at least, while the Hammers remain 17th.

Here’s Graham Ruthven’s on-the-whistle report from Ibrox:
La Liga
The lunchtime battle between two of La Liga’s heavy hitters, Atlético Madrid and Sevilla, has been won 2-0 by Atlético in their new Wanda Metropolitano stadium courtesy of second-half goals by Yannick Carrasco and Antoine Griezmann. By the way, if you missed Sid Lowe’s piece – ‘A stadium called Wanda’ – then I urge you to take a look:
A bit of news from the Football League, where AFC Wimbledon could face a telling off for their refusal to acknowledge MK Dons’ full name. Here are the details:
AFC Wimbledon could face disciplinary action for failing to recognise bitter rivals MK Dons by their full name for the second successive season.
Friday night’s programme for the Kingsmeadow clash did not reference the home side’s opponents either on the cover or inside, while their official Twitter feed simply referred to Robbie Neilson’s team as Milton Keynes throughout their match coverage.
The rivalry stems from the original Wimbledon side, who won the FA Cup in 1988, relocating to Milton Keynes in 2002.
The EFL had contacted AFC Wimbledon before the match to ensure there would be no repeat of last season’s situation, but the club appear to have ignored their request.
The EFL Board will now investigate the matter, which could be referred to a Disciplinary Commission.
A statement read: “Prior to Friday evening’s League One fixture between AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons, the EFL sought assurances from the home club that the game would be treated in a consistent and appropriate manner to any other taking place at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
“The EFL is more than aware of the issues around the creation of MK Dons and the upset this caused for the then, Wimbledon FC.
“The failure to recognise MK Dons in the correct manner causes reputational issues for the EFL as well as creating the potential for unrest amongst MK Dons supporter and, as such, is of concern for the EFL.
“Under new EFL regulations 3.4 and 3.5 all clubs are required to behave towards one another with the ‘utmost good faith’ and not to ‘unfairly criticise, disparage, belittle or discredit’ any other club.” PA

Red card! Serge Aurier (Tottenham)
It’s all happening at the London Stadium. Serge Aurier has picked up a second yellow for an agricultural hack at Andy Carrol:
Goal! West Ham 1-3 Tottenham (Hernandez)
Well West Ham are out of the relegation zone, at least:
Full-time: Rangers 0-2 Celtic
The first Old Firm derby of the season ends as we thought it might, but the scoreline doesn’t tell the story of wasted first-half chances by the home side. It also omits the spectacular slide-tackle on Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha in the first half by one of his own players, a must watch. Here’s how Barry Glendenning saw it:
Goal! West Ham 0-3 Tottenham (Eriksen)
Over in Stratford, Harry Kane has just leathered the post from a free-kick, agonisingly missing out on his hat-trick, but Christian Eriksen was on hand to put the ball in the West Ham net a moment later. That goal technically puts the Hammers in the relegation zone – not a good look for Slaven Bilic. Rob Smyth has all the latest:
Preamble
Put down that delicious glass of Carabao – the Premier League is back! And how: Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea all play on Saturday at 3pm for the first time this century, probably, in a stonking lineup:
