    I'm impressed with Leeds out of possession. They don't just stay in their slots, they hunt in packs.

    Fulham have matched Leeds' intensity though and they're playing good football.

    It's a really good game.

    Fulham 0-0 Leeds

    Meanwhile, at Craven Cottage we have a decent game on our hands. Two sides full of energy, looking to make stuff happen. Both teams have had chances.

    It's the on-loan Billy Gilmour who hits the Norwich free-kick but well over the bar.

    File this under 'game over'.

    Yoane Wissa hits the post with a curling effort from the edge of the box and Marcus Forss taps in the rebound for his second goal of the game.

    Charlie Austin

    And the shock is on the cards.

    QPR striker Charlie Austin is the man to break the deadlock, of course, nodding in from a couple of yards out after Asmir Begovic parried a shot straight into his path.

    Here's a chance for Norwich. They have a free-kick near the edge of the Liverpool box.

    Burnley 0-0 Rochdale

    A chance for Maxwel Cornet to score his first goal in English football as the Burnley man runs onto a long ball over the top and tries to chip Jay Lynch but the keeper saves.

  9. CLOSE!published at 20:01 British Summer Time 21 September 2021

    QPR 0-0 Everton

    Good chance for Everton but Anthony Gordon's low shot from the edge of the box is kept out by QPR goalkeeper Seny Dieng's excellent save low down.

    Manchester City 0-0 Wycombe Wanderers

    Adebayo Akinfenwa overpowers one of Manchester City's teenage defenders in the air but concedes a free-kick in the process.

    Norwich 0-1 Liverpool

    Oh, so close to a dream start in a Liverpool shirt for Kaide Gordon. A cross from the left is swung in towards the young forward but he is just an inch or two from making contact with his head.

    Fulham 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds spurn a glorious chance to take the lead. Crysencio Summerville intercepts a pass and charges into the box before setting up Tyler Roberts for a shot that is saved. Rodrigo follows up but can't get a good connection on his shot. Fulham survive.

    Manchester City 0-0 Wycombe Wanderers

    It's 86-14% on possession so far. This is a game between a team who love the ball - and a team who seem to love playing without it.

    Raheem Sterling fails to connect properly with City's first shot of the game.

    Norwich 0-1 Liverpool

    Good luck to any strikers who fancy their chances of knocking Ibrahima Konate off the ball in future. The man is an absolute unit.

    Ex-Liverpool midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Fulham have named a good team and they should be in front.

    They've been on the front foot and they're stopping Leeds from playing.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 19:56 British Summer Time 21 September 2021

    Preston North End 0-0 Cheltenham Town

    Connor Wickham's first start in a competitive football game since July 2020 lasts seven minutes. Preston's summer signing is injured and has to be replaced by Sean Maguire.

    Enda Stevens

    The Championship side lead against the Premier League club.

    Enda Stevens converting for the Blades, slotting home from 12 yards out following Adlene Guedioura's excellent run and pullback.

    Can this be counted as a shock?

    Fulham 0-0 Leeds

    Fulham with the first big chance of the game. Neeskens Kebano's cross is headed down and just wide by Rodrigo Muniz.

    The home side look up for this.

    Burnley 0-0 Rochdale

    Early chance for Rochdale but Jake Beesley's shot is saved by the legs of Nick Pope.

    Norwich 0-1 Liverpool

    Good response from the Canaries. Christos Tzolis is released down the left and his low ball flies just a yard in front of two team-mates, Adam Idah the closest to making contact.
