Manchester United v Crystal Palace, Watford v West Ham and more – live!

Five for Grimsby. Not a familiar soundbite. James Hanson makes it 5-2 for the Mariners at home to Port Vale.

In the Championship: And further news in that division as Bristol City and QPR both take 3-1 leads against Hull and Wigan respectively.

Championship report. Earlier, West Brom scored a late equaliser to draw 1-1 at Derby. Ben Fisher was at Pride Park.

Hat-trick! It’s not going well for Harry Maguire (Man Utd 0-1 Palace) but it certainly is for Chris Maguire. The Sunderland man has a hat-trick as the Black Cats lead AFC Wimbledon 3-1.

Old Trafford analysis. Kieran Hegarty describes the match, thus: “Manu playing on the front foot again.. but coming second in all the bitey (!) moments.. again. Won’t end well I tell ya.”

Quiz latest. Another name thrown into the mix by Adam Anderson.

“I seem to remember Fabrizio Ravanelli for Middlesbrough getting off to a flyer and then fading towards the end of the season.”

In the Championship: Talking of away teams doing well, Leeds are 3-0 up at Stoke while Nottingham Forest are 2-0 up at Fulham.

All four away teams winning in the Premier League. Well, fancy that.

Brighton 0-1 Southampton

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

Sheffield United 1-2 Leicester

Watford 1-3 West Ham

A second from Haller. And this one’s an overhead kick! Wow! West Ham won this same fixture 4-1 last season and they’re closing in on the same scoreline.

Rashford misses! The striker hits the post. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now checking who is United’s third-choice penalty-taker as he’s going to get a promotion.

Penalty for Man Utd. Rashford grabs the ball as Pogba steps away!

Big-money signing Haller gets his first for West Ham. It’s perhaps the easiest he’ll ever score as he taps in Felipe Anderson’s pass.

What a goal from Harvey Barnes. Just his second for the Foxes.

The visitors are back in front.

A screamer from Moussa Djenepo. Ings plays a pass out to the summer signing, who takes a touch and curls a beauty from 20 yards. What an introduction from the substitute. A more conventional goal from Sheffield United’s Oli McBurnie as he rises highest in the box and guides a clever header past Schmeichel. Nice cross from George Baldock.

And an equaliser for the Blades!

Deadlock broken on the south coast.

The real quiz. Patrick Baker puts forward Diego Costa. “Started on fire for Chelsea. Alas, a flame too hot to be sustained in English football.”

Jack Brown adds: “Klinsmann scored vs Sheff Wed, then Everton…did he score in his third??” Nope, they lost 1-0 at home to Man Utd.

In Scotland. Livingston are going top of the SPL in style. Jack Stobbs gives them a 4-1 lead at Ross County.

In the Championship: Leeds double their lead at Stoke as Patrick Bamford sets up Ezgjan Alioski to make it 2-0.

Union Berlin off the mark. Yes! An equaliser. Their first ever goal in the Bundesliga is netted by Sebastian Andersson with 10 minutes left. Augsburg 1-1 Union Berlin.

Quiz latest. Tom Chivers puts forward Jose Reyes.

“He seemed to score in all his first few games,” says Toms. “A vital FPL pick early in that season, must have been about 2006. Also: Salah? I haven’t checked these because that would be cheating.” Admirably honest.

And, you’re right. Reyes scored in each of his first six games for Arsenal, the first of those in the Community Shield.

Summary: three likely scorelines and a coupon buster.

Half-time whistles blowing. Something to keep you going in the break from our earlier post about Teemu Pukki…

Peter McDonnell writes:”PLEASE give us the other eight players who scored in their first three Premier League appearances!!! Can’t find it anywhere! Myself and some friends are tentatively suggesting Van Nistlerooy, Michu, Torres, Suárez…. But haven’t a clue really.” Anyone? There are 10 and so far we have Pukki and Pavel Pogrebnyak.

News from Scotland. Simon McMahon gives us this update: “Afternoon Dave. In Dunfermline watching Dundee United as they try to maintain their 100% start to the Scottish Championship. They lead the Fifers (I’ll not tell you what my Cowdenbeath supporting brother in law calls them) 1-0, an early Lawrence Shankland goal the difference, his sixth in the league this season, only three games in. Elsewhere, Arbroath lead Alloa and Dundee are being held by Inverness.”

Big goal in the Championship: Table-toppers Leeds hit the front at struggling Stoke as Stuart Dallas fires home. 1-0 to the visitors.

Tactical observation. Michael Jake Shaffer is watching the action at Old Trafford and notes: “While Palace look like they have a plan whether they are in or out of possession, United look as if the only thing written on their tactics board was “Win Game.””

VAR says no goal. Brighton have the ball in the Southampton net via Lewis Dunk’s header but it’s ruled out for offside.

Goal for Sheffield Wednesday fan Jamie Vardy. It had been coming. After a series of shots from outside the box, Leicester go in front as James Maddison sets up Vardy with a lovely pass with the outside of his foot which the striker rams home with his left foot. Emphatic finish.

Luke Shaw taken off at Old Trafford. The left-back is carrying a knock and is replaced by Ashley Young.

Hat-trick of goals for the Hatters. Barnsley are unbeaten in 29 homes games but Luton are tearing them apart. 3-0 to the visitors, the latest from Harry Cornick.

A shock on the cards at Old Trafford. Palace haven’t been it as an attacking force but Ayew finds acres of space through the middle and puts de Gea on his backside with a cool finish into the corner.

Red card: Brighton are down to 10 men against Southampton after a horror challenge by Florin Andone. You’ll wince at this.

Mike Brooks pulls me up on a stat.

“At Old Trafford. Manchester United dominating the early possession against Crystal Palace, who haven’t won there since 1989.”

Manchester United 1 – 2 Crystal Palace (30.11.11 Old Trafford).

You’re right, Mike. Should have said “in the League!”

Premier League latest halfway through the first 45:

Brighton 0-0 Southampton
Man Utd 0-0 Crystal Palace
Sheffield United 0-0 Leicester
Watford 1-1 West Ham

At Bramall Lane. Not an awful lot happening but Leicester, who started slowly at Chelsea last week, are starting to find some rhythm.

In the Championship. Four goals so far in the 3pm games and half of those have been scored by Luton, who lead 2-0 at Barnsley. Forest and Wigan still lead 1-0.
