Swansea 0-1 Preston
Gareth Vincent
BBC Sport Wales at the Liberty Stadium
New Swansea boss Steve Cooper has won his opening two home games, but he is cutting a frustrated figure so far this afternoon.
His side simply have not got going here and it is Preston who deservedly lead as half-time approaches.
Alex Neil's team have pressed high up the pitch and Swansea have not been able to cope.
Having said that, they have trailed in their two other Liberty fixtures so far this season.

GOAL: Barnsley 1-1 Charltonpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 17 August 2019
Conor Gallagher (40 mins)
Charlton back on terms in fairly swift fashion, just six minutes after Cauley Woodrow's goal-of-the-season contender.
No such spectacular events on this occasion, but it's equally important as Jonny Williams proves the creative force for the Addicks as he rolls the ball across for Conor Gallagher to tuck in unopposed.
Parity.

GOAL: Wigan 0-1 Leedspublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 17 August 2019
Patrick Bamford (34 mins)
Image source, Rex Features
He was handpicked by Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa to help Leeds return to the Premier League, and Patrick Bamford is proving the value of the Argentine's insistence.
Leeds perhaps ought to have scored when former Latic midfielder Adam Forshaw hit the post, but Bamford was well-placed and alert to tuck in the opener.
Harsh on Wigan, who through Lee Evans (not the sweaty but funny comedian) smacked a free-kick which gave Kiko Casilla problems. They're down to 10 men though and the task is not getting any easier is it?

GOAL: Stoke 1-1 Derbypublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 17 August 2019
Liam Lindsay (32 mins)
Big equaliser that drags the Boothen End to it's feet, and Stoke back into the game.
Stoke had been threatening since that early Derby goal and finally made the breakthrough, as Liam Lindsay got his nut to a corner and powered it in. Took a deflection but he will be claiming it, I bet you.
Game on in Staffordshire.
