    Leeds 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Leeds have fallen behind in every single game they've played this season.

    There seems little chance of that happening today but maybe they're going to need a jolt to really up the tempo here.

    Sheffield Wednesday have lost all four of their league games so far this campaign.

    QPR's Andre Dozzell scores with his effort from the edge of the box to give the visitors the lead.

    His first goal for the club, and what a way to do it. Milan van Ewijk bends a superb free-kick from 25 yards past the wall and into the bottom corner.

    The pendulum swings once again.

    GOAL: Coventry 0-1 Watfordpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Mileta Rajovic (35 mins)

    On his first start for the Hornets. The drought is over.

    Summer signing Mileta Rajovic has his first goal for the club, converting Tom Ince's low cross, and Coventry's hopes of a fourth straight clean sheet are ended.

    The superb penalty save from Daniel Bachmann has sparked quite a turnaround.

    The away side hit the front!

    Terriers forward Delano Burgzorg has his first for the club in his first start.

    Aaron Ramsey (30 mins)

    Now then. Cardiff are unbeaten in six against Ipswich but this wasn't in the script after Town's fast start to the season.

    Aaron Ramsey taps in from Karlan Grant's low cross from the left.

    They haven't kept a clean sheet in nine away games but if they do today then Cardiff will inflict a second straight home defeat on Ipswich.

    WOW! WHAT A GOAL!

    It's an effort every right-back who has ever played the game dreams of! Rotherham take a corner and the bouncing ball is smashed from the edge of the area by Dexter Lembikisa into the top right corner.

    The Wolves loanee is mobbed by his team-mates! What a strike!

    Leicester City have won their first four league games for the first time ever.

    If they're to extend that record to five they will have to come back from behind today.

    Finn Azaz (27 mins)

    Out of nowhere.

    Possibly an own goal.

    Finn Azaz's long range shot looks like it was deflected off a Blackburn players heel and into the corner of the goal.

    They all count.
