A red card at Old Trafford

JR in Illinois writes ...
“Nolito has just headbutted Craig Dawson right in front of referee Lee Mason and Mr. Mason has somehow only given Nolito a yellow card for it,” he confirms. “Absolutely scandalous. You will never see a clearer red card.”

Championship: Cyrus Christie has given Derby County a one-goal lead against Sheffield Wednesday.

Updated
A contentiopus booking at the Hawthorns
Premier League: Manchester City’s Nolito gets booked for sticking the nut on Craig Dawson, who stays on his feet. If he’d gone down, the Manchester City striker would surely have been sent off. Quite why Lee Mason didn’t send him off anyway is a mystery, as he wouldn’t have booked the Spaniard if he hadn’t seen him committing what was an offence punishable by a straight red.

Another goal in the second tier
Championship: Reading take the lead against Nottingham Forest, who have yet to keep a clean sheet this season. Garath McCleary doing the honours there after 10 minutes.

Championship: Kenny Jackett’s reign at Rotherham didn’t get off to the best of starts, with his Millers side going behind to a rare Freddie Sears goal.
Early chances in the top flight
Premier League: Watford have already missed a hat-trick of chances against Hull City at Vicarage Road, while West Brom and Manchester City have traded early blows. Nacer Chadli went close for West Ham, while Raheem Sterling shot straight at Ben Foster when he should have done better.
An early result from the Kassam Stadium
League One: Millwall have beaten Oxford United. Liam Sercombe put the hosts a goal up after 31 minutes, but Steve Morison and Aiden O’Brien replied for the south London side to give them all three points.
Not long now ...
The tunnels of football grounds the length and breadth of the UK are filling with players enjoying last-minute energy bars and gels, swigs of water and whoops of “c’mon boys!” as kick-off time approaches. Kick-off is just a couple of minutes away.
An email from fitba's Simon McMahon
“Game of the day in Scotland is at Tannadice where in-form Dundee United, second in the Scottish Championship, welcome fifth placed Falkirk,” he writes, although fans of Celtic and Aberdeen may beg to differ. “The Bairns are managed by former United boss Peter Houston, and beat Ray McKinnon’s men earlier in the season, so United have every reason to be fired up today. Elsewhere leaders Hibs are at home to St. Mirren and Raith Rovers host Queen of the South. In the Premiership, Celtic beat Aberdeen 1-0 in the early kick off to stretch their lead to 10 points with a game in hand. The bookies might as well pay out now. Other Premiership fixtures include Inverness v Hearts, and rock bottom Dundee travel to Hamilton. In Scottish League One the top two meet as Brechin host Livingston.”
And a new record for Jack Rodwell, who becomes the first player in league history not to have won one of the last 35 games he's started.

Today's Championship fixtures
Brentford beat QPR in last night’s West London derby and Birmingham entertain Aston Villa in what promises to be a fairly spicy Midlands derby tomorrow, but there’s plenty of cracking Championship to enjoy in between. Having dispensed with the services of Walter Zenga, Wolves travel to Ewood Park to take on struggling Blackburn Rovers with Rob Edwards in temporary charge in today’s late kick-off.
It’s the earlier ones with which we’re concerned and at Deepdale, mid-table side Preston entertain league leaders Newcastle, having suffered a 6-0 midweek thrashing at the hands of Rafael Benítez’s side in the EFL Cup. Second entertain fourth in the pick of the afternoon’s clashes at The Amex, where Brighton play Norwich City in the pick of the afternoon’s games. In third place Huddersfield travel to Fulham and Sheffield Wednesday, two places back in fifth, go to Derby County. Bristol City will be hoping to hang on in there in the play-off places with victory over Barnsley at Oakwell.
Curiously, five of the Championship’s top six teams are playing away from home today (Brighton are the exception), which ought to lead to something of a reshuffle at the summit of the second tier at 5pm.
Greetings sports fans ...
Today’s early Premier League kick-off features Sunderland and Arsenal, where the score is currently 1-0 to the visitors early in the second half. You can follow the rest of that match with Rob Smyth’s minute-by-minute report, but we’ll keep you provided with updates here. We have five 3pm (BST) kick-offs (other time zones are available) to report on, which are listed above, while we’ll also bring you news of goals and other talking points in the Championship and beyond.
