Manchester City v Brentford, Liverpool v Nottingham Forest, and more: football – live | Premier League

40 min: Liverpool 0-0 Nottm Forest Matz Sels almost scores a comedy own goal to give Liverpool the lead. It sounds like he dropped a high ball through his own legs and then inadvertently saved it in his follow through. I can’t quite picture it, but I’m sure it’ll be all over that social cesspit soon.

36 min: Brighton 0-0 Ipswich The Ipswich keeper Arijanet Muric has made a terrific double save from Georginio Rutter and Kaoru Mitoma.

33 min: Celtic 0-0 Hearts A bit of controversy at Celtic Park. Hearts were awarded a penalty for a handball by Liam Scales, but the decision has been overturned after an on-field review.

GOAL! Man City 2-1 Brentford (Haaland 32)

Serie A Patrick Cutrone, once of Wolves, has just scored a fine goal to put Como 2-0 up against Bologna. The last time they won a Serie A match, their current coach Cesc Fabregas had just turned 16 (and was still better than 99.94 per cent of midfield players in England).

“At Anfield, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Yates are in the early stages of an epic snide-a-thon,” writes J.R. in Illinois. “It’s somewhat entertaining.”

Whatever happened to Gary McAllister? The strong, silent type.

Liverpool 5-0 Nottingham Forest (April 1988)

“It is remarkable how well this holds up,” says Niall Mullen. “What a team/time that was.”

I’ve always wondered: why did they only hit those (admittedly stratospheric) heights for only one season? It can’t be Rushie’s fault surely. They were, individually and collectively, just astonishingly good in 1987-88.

17 min: Liverpool 0-0 Nottm Forest The in-form Luis Diaz has hit the post for Liverpool, who are passing Forest to sleep.

13 min: Liverpool 0-0 Nottm Forest “All Liverpool,” says Paul Merson on Sky, though haven’t yet dirtied Matz Sels’ gloves.

10 min: Man City 0-1 Brentford It sounds like Brentford are causing City all sorts of problems on the counter-attack, and Nathan Collins has just forced a save from Ederson following a corner. The people who can actually watch this game reckon Brentford could have already scored three.

Thomas Frank is such a good manager and it’ll be fascinating to see how he fares when he gets a bigger job. It might be that he and Brentford are a perfect fit for each other.

Goal! Hoffenheim 1-2 Leverkusen (Berisha 37) Leverkusen were beaten after leading 2-0 in their previous league game, so this goal from Mergim Berisha could make things interesting.

“Newsflash just in from Arsenal FC Limited,” writes Charles Antaki. “Emergency motion to Uefa that all games today should have a running time of no more than five minutes.”

5 min: Man City 0-1 Brentford Bryan Mbeumo almost had a chance to make it 2-0. He was about to shoot when Rico Lewis picked his pocket in the penalty area. Blimey.

Liverpool 0-0 Nottm Forest “Easy football watching today,” boasts Marin Widdicks. “As Forest haven’t won at Anfield since 1969 (I’m pretty sure) I have no expectations at all today. So rather than pacing around with nervous energy I can just relax today, a free hit if you like…

“Now watch us go 2-0 up in the first 20 mins and have me hide behind the sofa as Liverpool win 4-2.”

Bundesliga: Hoffenheim 0-2 Leverkusen (32 mins)

The champions have started with ferocious intent against Hoffenheim. Martin Terrier put them ahead in the 17th minute and Victor Boniface has just made it two.

GOAL! Man City 0-1 Brentford (Wissa 1)

“Is it just me,” begins John Kim promisingly, “or do the Man City player photos make them look shiny and sickly, as if they were emerging from the club at 9am after a hard night of partying? Plus, the angle is all wrong. They all have giant foreheads!”

Complacency’s kicking in after four titles in a row.

“Afternoon Rob,” writes Simon McMahon. “High flying Dundee United start the day in third place, having secured two wins and two draws from their opening four league fixtures after their return to the Scottish Premier this year. They don’t play until tomorrow, against Rangers at Tannadice, so, depending on today’s results, could end up anywhere from third to sixth.

“Whatever happens today, a win tomorrow would see United regain third place. A word too for Peterhead’s Rory McAllister, who last week became only the third player to reach 250 league goals in Scotland since 1945. Am sure there are some clockwatch anoraks out there who can name the other two…”

That’s a great question. Is one of them called Alistair?

Match report: Southampton 0-3 Man Utd

Ben Fisher was at St Mary’s to see Manchester United inflict another defeat on Southampton.

“Aberdeen-Well not one of your featured games, eh?” says James Humphries, and yes Well does mean Motherwell. “I am disappointed, and not just because it’s difficult to find any dodgy streams of non-OF spl games. I mean, so I’ve been told.”

Well you wouldn’t be getting any insights from here. I’m at the mercy of the boys and girls on Soccer Saturday. (And Reddit, but keep that to yourself.)

Pep Guardiola on Manchester City’s FFP case

I’m happy it starts on Monday and I know there will be more rumours about the sentences that come up and we’re going to see. I know what people are looking for, I know what they are expecting – I know it because I have read it for many years – but I’ve said everyone is innocent until guilt is proven.

Arne Slot on Liverpool’s busy schedule

For the players it might be a lot. If it is too much then it is a question for them to ask because I don’t feel what they feel but I do see it is a lot and it is up to us to prove we can handle that: the ones who play almost every game and the ones to come in and show they can continue to get results like we have so far.

Half time: Leeds 0-1 Burnley

Burnley had only 25 per cent possession in the first half at Elland Road, but they lead through Luca Koleosho’s 18th-minute goal. Will Ferrell is among the crowd for that game.

The other half-time scores in the Championship are Oxford 0-0 Stoke and Millwall 0-1 Luton (Mengi 10). No word yet on Vince Vaughn being at The Den.

Half time: Southampton 0-2 Manchester United

After a diffcult start to the season, Erik ten Hag is having a more comfortable afternoon at St Mary’s. It might have been different had Andre Onana not saved Cameron Archer’s penalty when the game was goalless. But he did, and Matthijs de Ligt and Marcus Rashford scored soon after to put United in control. You can follow the second half with Barry Glendenning.
