West Ham 2-2 Crystal Palace

And Jacob Steinberg watched an equally entertaining 2-2 at the London Stadium.

5.19pm BST

Newcastle 2-2 Southampton

Louise Taylor was at St James’ Park to watch a cracking match that included two goals in second-half injury time.

5.18pm BST

Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford

Paul Doyle, without doubt my favourite bald football writer, was at Villa Park to see Brentford get another excellent point away from home.

5.11pm BST

Brighton 0-2 Everton Sam Dalling was at the Amex Stadium to watch Everton continue their terrific start under Rafa Benitez.

5.07pm BST

Although Norwich lost, the fact they scored a goal means that Arsenal are bottom of the nascent Premier League table. I take no pleasure in conveying this information.

Dundee United 0-2 Hearts

“The last time Robbie Neilson was at Tannadice I applauded him off the field,” writes Simon McMahon. “Today I questioned his parentage. I’m not proud of it, but such is football.”

4.59pm BST

Full time: QPR 2-0 Coventry

And an ultimately comfortable win for in-form QPR, who go second in the table.

4.58pm BST

Full time: Fulham 3-0 Stoke

A comfortable win for the leaders Fulham, who gave high-flying Stoke an unwelcome dose of reality.

4.58pm BST

Full time: Norwich 1-2 Leicester

Three defeats out of three for Norwich - but they played really well at times in this game and it’s premature to say this is 2019-20 all over again.

4.57pm BST

Full time: Newcastle 2-2 Southampton

James Ward-Prowse’s emphatic 96th-minute penalty earns Southampton a deserved draw.

4.56pm BST

Full time: Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford

Peep peep! Brentford’s unbeaten start continues after an honourable draw at Villa Park.

4.56pm BST

Full time: Brighton 0-2 Everton

Another excellent result for Rafa Benitez’s Everton. Demarai Gray scored a fine goal, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ignored a Richarlison tantrum to score the second from the penalty spot.

4.43pm BST

NO GOAL! Norwich 1-2 Leicester Todd Cantwell has been ruled offside. He didn’t touch the ball, but was apparently interfering with play. How? You tell me, you’re watching the bloody games!

4.42pm BST

VAR CHECK! Kenny McLean has scored for Norwich at Leicester, heading in from a corner, but it may be disallowed for an apparent offside against Todd Cantwell.

Updated at 4.42pm BST

4.40pm BST

“Crystal Palace have been really good in the second half,” says Neill Brown. “Perhaps recently retired ex-Arsenal midfielders can learn to coach a team and not just destroy decades of proud history?”

For heaven’s sake, man, let it go. David Platt left Forest 20 years ago!

4.38pm BST

GOAL! Norwich 1-2 Leicester (Albrighton 76)

Marc Albrighton, who is only playing because of Ayoze Perez’s suspension, has smashed Leicester back in front at Carrow Road.

GOAL! QPR 2-0 Coventry (Barbet 76)

QPR’s superb start to the season - their superb 2021 for that matter - continues. Yoann Barbet has put them 2-0 up against Coventry, a win that will move them up to second in the Championship for the next few hours at least. (West Brom play at Peterborough tonight.)

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Southampton (Elyounoussi 74)

The substitute Nathan Redmond’s excellent cross is finished by Mohamed Elyounoussi. Southampton haven’t been as dominant in the second half but overall they deserve that equaliser.

GOAL! West Ham 2-2 Crystal Palace (Gallagher 70)

Conor Gallagher gets his second! He sent Craig Dawson off to another postcode with a Cruyff turn before beating Lukasz Fabianski. It sounds like a fantastic goal, though I’’m not sure why I’m bothering as you lot have probably seen it already.

4.24pm BST

Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford “Early candidate for worst play-acting of the season by Brentford’s Canos,” says Chris N. “He deliberately ran into El Ghazi, who was standing still, and went down clutching his face after light shoulder to shoulder action. Good player, Canos - he should stick to his day job.”

Brighton 0-2 Everton Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a penalty at Leeds last week, so I’m not sure why Richarlison tried to take this one off him. Thankfully for Everton, Richarlison didn’t get the chance to do the Mirallas.

4.18pm BST

As things stand - I know, I know - Everton are second in the league, behind West Ham on goal difference.

4.17pm BST

GOAL! West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace (Gallagher 58)

Conor Gallagher, on loan from Chelsea, scores Crystal Palace’s first goal under Patrick Vieira. Palace have been much better in the second half, according to reports.

GOAL! West Ham 1-0 Crystal Palace (Fornals 39)

West Ham take the lead with a beautifully worked goal. Pablo Fornals and Michail Antonio sliced the Palace defence open, allowing Fornals to score from close range. I think.

Brighton 0-0 Everton “I would love to send you anadjective-laden description of the lovely football being displayed in the Everton match,” says Mary Waltz, “but it has largely been a lot of pointless knocking about leading to nothing.”

At least you can still take the positives.

Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford The 3pm games aren’t televised in England, so we’re not able to see any of the goals. But I’ve tried to imagine Emi Buendia’s equaliser based on the various descriptions online. In my head, Danny Ings played a one-two on the led and fed the ball into Buendia in the D. He controlled the ball with a Cruyff turn, had another touch and then flashed a shot into the far corner. That’s how I imagine it, anyway.

Updated at 3.25pm BST

3.16pm BST

Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford I’ve just seen Ivan Toney’s goal, which came to me in a daydream. It was a lovely finish, sidefooted nonchalantly into the top corner when the ball was rolled across the area.

“I’m an Arsenal fan and still like football,” REVEALS Neill Brown. “As I’m overseas, I have the (legal) pick of 3pm kick off’s to watch and I’ve opted for West Ham v Palace.

Norwich 0-1 Leicester This is a worry for Leicester: Ricardo, who was out for a long time last year with a knee injury, has gone off with what looks like the same problem. Timothy Castagne has replaced him. Leicester have been desperately unlucky with injuries since the start of the last season.

Updated at 3.12pm BST

3.08pm BST

GOAL! Norwich 0-1 Leicester (Vardy 8)

A mistake from the debutant Brandon Williams leads to an early goal for Jamie Vardy, finished emphatically from Ricardo’s cross, it says here.

“Everton have not won away to Brighton since Kevin Sheedyy scored a brace in April 1983,” says Matt Burtz. “It’s not quite as bad as it looks due to the two clubs not being in the same league for most of that time, but all streaks have to come to an end at some point, right?”

The Baltimore Orioles concur.

Full time: Derby 1-1 Nottingham Forest

The kind of result that saves a manager from the sacked. Brennan Johnson’s late equaliser for Nottingham Forest in an intense, emotional derby may have saved Chris Hughton’s job.

2.22pm BST

Full time: Manchester City 5-0 Arsenal The kind of the result that gets a manager sacked. With friends like Pep, who needs friends?

2.14pm BST

“Afternoon Rob,” says Simon McMahon. “ Game of the day in Scotland is at Tannadice, where former United and now Hearts manager Robbie Neilson will be assured of a ‘warm’ welcome from the United fans on an absolutely glorious day in Dundee. United are aiming for their third league win on the bounce which hasn’t happened since, well, the last time they did it.

“Today’s other Scottish Premier fixtures are Hibs v Livingston and Motherwell v Dundee, while tomorrow sees the battle for the minor places intensify as Rangers host Celtic. Kilmarnock v Inverness is the pick of the games in the Scottish Championship.”

2.14pm BST

There’s been a fifth goal at the Etihad. I won’t insult your intelligence by telling you which team has scored it.

2.13pm BST

GOAL! Derby 1-1 Nottingham Forest (Johnson 82)

Forest have equalised with eight minutes remaining! A left-wing cross bounced across the area to Brennan Johnson, who rattled a low shot that squirmed through the diving Roos.

2.10pm BST

77 min: Derby 1-0 Nottingham Forest Still 1-0 to Derby, as you’ll know having read the scoreline at the start of this entry. But both teams have had chances in the last few minutes. Jack Stretton’s close-range shot was going in until it took a slight deflection off the knee of Scott McKenna, and at the other end Lewis Grabban’s clever flick was well saved by Kelle Roos.

Derby 1-0 Nottingham Forest Tom Lawrence’s goal has put Derby ahead at half-time in the East Midlands derby. It was made by a cracking pass from Craig Forsyth - but he was pretty lucky to still be on the pitch after plunging his studs into Philip Zinckernagel’s testicles. None of the officials saw the incident.

1.30pm BST

Preamble

Hello and welcome to another busy Saturday afternoon clockwatch. We’ll be concentrating on the five 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League and a handful of matches in the Championship. The headline game is at the London Stadium: West Ham United, who were top of the table before the Arsenal roadshow arrived in Manchester at lunchtime, play Crystal Palace.

Brighton, another team who have started the season with two wins, are at home to Everton - and if that match is half as exciting as last season’s corresponding fixture, we’re all in serious trouble.

Aston Villa manager Dean Smith will come up against his old club Brentford, Newcastle host Southampton and Norwich’s unfriendly start to the season continues with a visit from Leicester.

These are our featured games, all 3pm kick-offs unless stated.

Premier League

• Manchester City 3-0 Arsenal (12.30pm)
• Aston Villa v Brentford
• Brighton and Hove Albion v Everton
• Newcastle United v Southampton
• Norwich City v Leicester City
• West Ham United v Crystal Palace

Championship

• Fulham v Stoke City
• Queens Park Rangers v Coventry City
