    Brilliant in Bruges on their Champions League debut, it's now time for Leicester City to inject some much-needed momentum into their domestic campaign.

    Four points from four games represents a disappointing return for a club desperate to prove that last year's title success was no flash in the pan.

    In sharp contrast, Burnley's similar tally of four points represents an encouraging start to life back in the big time. 

    You can rest assured that after a hard week mastering Sean Dyche's defensive drills on the training ground they will present a far more formidable obstacle than Club Brugge.

    Hull v Arsenal (15:00 BST)

    Hull's only victory over Arsenal in 18 meetings since 1915 caused a huge stir eight years ago - but there'd be an even bigger reaction to another win now.

    It would surely compel whoever is calling the shots at the Tigers to reach a quick agreement with Mike Phelan over his transition from 'caretaker' status to becoming the boss for real.

    It would be a third win in five games to start the season - beating Phil Brown's three in six with that 2008 success.

    It would also give more ammunition to the anti-Arsene Wenger Arsenal fans who bombard the radio phone-ins after every Gunners setback.

    Former Everton midfielder Kevin Kilbane: "Gareth Barry will always be under appreciated. He's got a great left foot and seeing him come through at Aston Villa and then progress through his career he's deserved to reach 600. He's started the season very well and he's probably the player who gels Everton together.

    Ex-West Brom striker Jason Roberts: "The game has changed as Gareth said which helps you play longer. You get in and do the yoga and do the preparation work before training these days rather than just lacing your boots up and getting on the pitch. He's such an important part of that team. He fills into little positions and his infliuence for the team is immense."

    Causey: I remember him making his debut can't believe that was nearly 20 years ago.

    What were you doing when Gareth Barry made his Premier League debut in 1998?

    In case you missed it earlier, Everton midfielder Gareth Barry will make his 600th Premier League appearance later - becoming only the third player to reach that milestone. The other two? Ryan Giggs and Frank Lampard. Not bad company.

    Team bonding trips to the local carp lake for Leatherhead? Surely.

    Ryman Premier Division side Leatherhead have announced the appointment of former Wigan and Fulham midfielder Jimmy Bullard.

    The club said on their website: "Jimmy has gained a wealth of experience into a variety of management and coaching techniques as a player and is looking to bring the best of these experiences to Leatherhead.

    "Jimmy has held lengthy discussions with me as well as other senior club personnel in order to help in understand the clubs ethos as well as our ambitions for the future that we look forward to him being part of."

    Bullard's first game in charge of the Tanners is at Folkestone Invicta on Tuesday.

    I feel this is a suitable time to bring out my oft-told anecdote (again) about seeing a Championship player eating takeaway pizza in the car park after a game. My mate gave him so much stick he ended up handing us a couple of slices.

    Is it acceptable for professional players to be smashing down a meat feast? Pep Guardiola has banned them too apparently.

    Wonder what Jimmy Bullard would do if he was a manager...

    Could Leicester full-back Christian Fuchs be the next player to move into American Football in later life?

    Maybe Celtic's players are feeling slightly better about themselves now. Barca are steamrolling their latest opponents, with Rafinha cracking in a beauty of a fifth goal against La Liga newcomers Leganes. It's tough at the top.

    Not sure how Leeds United aren't behind in Cardiff. The home side have dominated the lunchtime kick-off in the Champo, rattling both of Rob Green's posts in the first half. But the Yorkshire side survive...

    Follow the second half live here. Once the players have eaten their half-time oranges of course.

    Former West Brom striker Jason Roberts: "I know John Williams, who has come into West Brom with the new owners, from my time at Blackburn and he's not a confrontational character so I am surprised this situation has developed. 

    "Clearly Tony Pulis isn't happy that he's not been able to bring in the players he has wanted at the club. I think he came out and said that Hal Robson-Kanu wasn't his signing which makes you worry a bit."
