GOAL! Stoke City 1-1 Sheffield United (McGlynn 78). Another leveller in the Championship, thanks to Jack McGlynn at the bet365.
GOAL! Millwall 2-2 West Ham United (Mavropanos 80). … and now West Ham are level! They get to take a corner this time. They take it short. Manor Solomon drops a shoulder to make space on the right, crosses long, and Konstantinos Mavropanos plants a header into the top left!
GOAL! Millwall 2-1 West Ham United (Kante 74). Mohamadou Kante drills a low shot into the bottom left from 25 yards, and it’s game on at the New Den. It’s not all good news for West Ham, though: Millwall keeper Filip Marschall has reportedly accused Hammers striker Taty Castellanos of spitting on him during a rules brouhaha. Marschall had held onto the ball for 11 seconds, so while everyone was arguing upfield, West Ham, referencing the new rules, took a corner and Pablo walked it into the empty net. But the referee didn’t penalise Marschall, so no corner, no goal … and now this.

Arsenal also make two changes following their last Premier League match, the 2-0 win at Sunderland: Gabriel Magalhães and Jurriën Timber are in; Myles Lewis-Skelly drops to the bench, while Ben White is out injured.
… and of course in the Premier League, there’s yet another debacle threatening to unfold at the Lane. Villa lead 1-0 going into the second half, and Daniel Gallen has all the details.
Elsewhere in the Championship, it’s currently …
Charlton went two up after just 26 minutes thanks to Jack Moylan and Yousef Salech, only for Tyreece Campbell to pull one back soon after. Sheffield United meanwhile have just gone into the lead thanks to Kalvin Phillips on 51 minutes.
There’s a fairly big game going on in the Championship …
… and it’s HALF TIME: Millwall 2-0 West Ham United. Goals from Caleb Taylor on 16 minutes and Camiel Neghli on the strike of half-time, both coming as a result of West Ham’s failure to deal with long throws from Lyndon Dykes. West Ham haven’t won at Millwall since 1988, to be fair.
Preamble

Other games are available, and we’ll be covering those in what I’m confident you’ll consider a charming scattergun style. Anyway, let’s not hang about. It’s on!
