Updates and latest transfer news ahead of Sunday’s Premier League games and Old Firm derby
Ewan Murray, who will be joining us later, has previewed the Old Firm.
It was also a day of uncertainty for West Ham. There were a lot of reports around about Aston Villa agreeing a deal to sign Lucas Paqueta but those were premature. Villa were looking at a loan with an obligation to buy. West Ham have no intention of selling the Brazilian. The latest from the club and Paqueta’s camp is that he will not leave during this window. West Ham are at Nottingham Forest later. Paqueta trained on Saturday and travelled with the squad. There’s some doubt over his involvement because of the speculation over his future but sources at West Ham remain confident he’ll play. Nayef Aguerd, though, is not expected to be involved. He wants out.

Bayern Munich beat Augsburg 3-2 after leading 3-0
Bayer Leverkusen held 3-3 at Werder Bremen
Bayern Munich almost imploded in their 3-2 Bundesliga victory at Augsburg , conceding two goals for the second consecutive match after going 3-0 up soon after the break.
Bayern’s back line looked vulnerable, just as it had in Wednesday’s German Cup first round win over third-tier Wehen Wiesbaden in which they conceded two goals and needed a stoppage-time winner to advance.

The spoils were shared after an uneventful match at Elland Road
2 min: A fairly nondescript start to the game, during which Leeds see plenty of the ball. Elland Road in good voice.
Leeds get the ball rolling. The rain tipping down in West Yorkshire.

Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez scored to give Chelsea the points but Fulham were furious about two VAR interventions
5 min Fulham try to play out from the back and lose the ball. Joao Pedro rakes a left-foot drive from 25 yards that is held to his left by Leno.

Fans turn on Sellés as Blades slump to fourth defeat
Ipswich rescue point in 16th minute of stoppage time
Rubén Sellés admitted his future as Sheffield United manager is out of his hands as Blades fans called for the Spaniard to be sacked after just four league games in charge.
Sellés’ nightmare start to life in charge of United continued as they went down 1-0 at table-topping Middlesbrough, leaving the Blades bottom and without a point going into the first international break. The away fans at the Riverside turned on Sellés and chanted the name of former manager Chris Wilder after Tommy Conway sealed a fourth straight win for Boro with a fine second-half strike.

Abdul Fatawu’s opener and a Ricardo goal created by 16-year-old Jeremy Monga took the midlands spoils
1 min: Off we go. Some empty seats? And a stray cone left on the field delayed the kick-off. A guilty coach had to run on and remove it. It’s high press and high energy already.
Some loud Kasbabian – thankfully not their awful Sky Premier League anthem – is ringing out. Here we go in the greatest league in the whole bloody world. The teams come out to applause for the last game of August.
Continue reading...Abdul Fatawu screamer sets up Leicester’s impressive win over Birmingham
Abdul Fatawu’s stunning early goal and Ricardo Pereira’s late effort gave Leicester record a hard-fought but deserved victory over Birmingham in the Championship. Fatawu’s brilliant finish lit up a game of precious few chances, as these two Midlands rivals slugged it out under the lights at the KP Stadium.
Chris Davies’s side, who came into the contest unbeaten in the second tier, improved as the contest between two of the league’s most fancied clubs wore on. But with Jay Stansfield ruled out they struggled to create enough to trouble Martí Cifuentes’s side, before the Leicester substitute pounced following 16-year-old Jeremy Monga’s memorable assist.

Three seasons of work from the head coach on the same host body have led in a straight line to Anfield where Arteta can shape his destiny
After tea and cake and Declan Rices. After Ebe Eze and Viktor Gyökeres. Should I, after three straight second places, have the strength to force the moment to its crisis? Hmm. Maybe not. With all due apologies to the living descendants of TS Eliot, the love song of Mikel Arteta still doesn’t really scan or rhyme or have a clear endnote as yet, even as the six-year anniversary of his appointment as Arsenal manager approaches.
This is normal enough. It is obviously incorrect to conclude, as many have, that Arsenal’s manager has to win a trophy this season or be remembered not just as a fraud, but as a Lego-haired billion-pound-spend fraud, the worst kind of fraud there is. Sport doesn’t work in simple metre. Uncertainty is key to its fascination.
