    Tony 'Bomber' Brown
    West Brom's all-time leading goalscorer on BBC Radio WM

    Forget Erling Haaland at Manchester City, Albion have got their own striker - Karlan Grant.

    Tom Fellows again, he's done that little lollipop trick. It's a terrific goal from the Albion point of view. Just what they needed.

    Wingers are worth their weight in gold. I've played with great wingers and this lad is joining them in that class.

    BBC Final Score

    Charlton haven't beaten Bolton in the league since October 2014 when they were both Championship sides.

    This afternoon the pitch is wet, the pitch is slippery... fingers crossed for a well-lubricated, fast-paced game of football.

    Can Charlton break that bad run today? They've made the perfect start...

  17. Could be cagey at Carrow Roadpublished at 15:07 British Summer Time 24 August

    Norwich 0-0 Sheff Utd

    Joshua Adu-Donkor
    Final Score

    A wet day at Carrow Road.

    Sheffield United are one of the favourites to get promoted and to make an immediate return to the Premier League.

    But they got a reminder last week how competitive the Championship can be as they were pegged back from a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 against QPR at home.

    Norwich are still looking for their first win of the season. They sold winger Jonathan Rowe this week to end that transfer saga.

    A cagey game expected by some - but I'm being optimistic and hoping for loads of goals.

    Ebou Adams (2 mins)

    Perfect start for the away side!

    Ebou Adams hits a fine strike to give the away side the lead inside two minutes.

    Watford have won their first three in all competitions so far this season, they'll need to come from behind if they're to make it four from four.
