⚽️ Updates from the 3pm BST kick-offs around the grounds

⚽️ Live scoreboard | Match report: Brentford 3-1 Man Utd Thanks Billy, hello everyone. Kick-off is a couple of minutes away, which is just enough time to read Dave Hytner’s report from Brentford. Right, the teams are walking out around the grounds. Rob Smyth has also emerged from the tunnel, mascot in hand, to take over from me for when the whistle blows. There was an eye-catching result in the WSL this lunchtime as Aston Villa’s Lucy Parker struck late at the Emirates. Suzanne Wrack’s report is here: A reminder of the 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League: Chelsea v Brighton

Crystal Palace v Liverpool

Leeds v Bournemouth

Manchester City v Burnley We’ll be getting under way in about 10 minutes’ time! Sid Lowe is at the Metropolitano for today’s Madrid derby. This week he’s been writing about Julián Alvarez, Atlético’s hat-trick hero against Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday: Asked how Alvarez could score a goal like the winner against Rayo, Simeone’s explanation was simple: “Because he’s very good. ” When it was suggested that it had been Lionel Messi-like, he replied: “Well, he’s Julián Alvarez. ” There was more, he knew; this was about the person as well as the player. “He is the best player we have got, ” the coach said. Alexander Isak is making his first Premier League start for Liverpool at Selhurst Park. Marc Guéhi is charged with stopping him when, really, he might have expected to be lining up alongside him today: It speaks volumes for Guéhi’s professionalism that he has picked up where he left off at Palace having already mentally prepared to become a Liverpool player. The first part of his medical had been completed in London on deadline day and a private jet was standing by to take him to Merseyside. Full-time scores from the early kick-offs: Premier League

Brentford 3-1 Manchester United (Thiago 8 20, Jensen 90+5; Sesko 26) Championship

Coventry 3-0 Birmingham (Thomas-Asante 16, Osayi-Samuel 49og, Torp 78)

Swansea 1-1 Millwall (Vipotnik 12; Coburn 45+1)

Wrexham 1-1 Derby (O’Brien 59; Brereton Díaz 72) WSL

Arsenal 1-1 Aston Villa (Maanum 10; Parker 90+4) Mathias Jensen seals the points for Keith Andrews and Brentford to hand Ruben Amorim that familiar feeling of defeat at Manchester United. Igor Thiago’s first-half double put Brentford on their way before Benjamin Sesko’s first United goal gave them some hope. Nathan Collins was penalised for pulling back the returning Bryan Mbeumo in the box but Bruno Fernandes’s penalty was saved by Caoimhin Kelleher. Jensen’s emphatic finish came in the fifth minute of stoppage time. There is no Cole Palmer for Chelsea today. He’s one of a number of injury absentees Enzo Maresca is having to deal with amid a dip in results: On the treatment table:

Palmer (groin)

Adarabioyo (calf)

Fofana (concussion)

Colwill (knee)

Essugo (thigh)

Delap (hamstring) Kyle Walker’s awkward departure from Manchester City doesn’t seem to have affected Pep Guardiola’s opinion of him: I don’t judge one behaviour over a short period of time. He was unbelievable. One of the greatest full-backs ever. I slept like a baby for the games with Kyle there. There are eight minutes of stoppage time at Brentford, who still lead Manchester United 2-1 after Bruno Fernandes’s missed penalty.
