Championship

Hull City moved up to 13th in the table with a 2-0 home win over West Brom last night. Ghana striker Benjamin Tetteh scored his first goal for Tigers to give them a first-half lead, which was doubled courtesy of a Dara O’Shea own goal after the break.

Ewood Park is the venue one of two lunchtime kick-offs, where Blackburn Rovers are hosting Sheffield United. Fourth in the table, nine points behind the Blades, who are in the second automatic promotion spot behind Burnley, Rovers lead courtesy of a Harry Pickering strike after five minutes. In this afternoon’s other early game, it’s scoreless between Cardiff City and Bristol City at the break.

Premier League

Manchester City and Newcastle United got the top flight ball rolling in today’s lunchtime kick-off between the Premier League’s two state-owned clubs. It’s half-time at the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City have dominated their visitors for the opening 45 minutes and lead courtesy of a fine solo goal from the in-form Phil Foden. Should City hold on to their lead, they’ll close the gap between themselves and Arsenal to two points, having played one game more.

Saturday Clockwatch

Another weekend, another round of Premier League fixtures and table-toppers Arsenal have what looks, on paper at least, a relatively straightforward home fixture against struggling Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium.

They’ll kick-off in North London shortly after the final whistle has been blown on second-placed Manchester City’s clash with Newcastle United at the Etihad, while there are four other top flight match slated to take place before Southampton’s 5.30pm (GMT) battle against Leicester City later this afternoon. Bottom of the table and four points from safety, Southampton are in dire need of a win over their fellow strugglers.

We’ll bring you team news, updates on all the goals as they go in around the grounds and flag up any other major talking points on what promises to be another fascinating afternoon of top-flight action.
