1.45pmClockwatch
The staggered start denies us the thrill that used to accompany opening day but the first 3pm Premier League team news of the season will be announced at 2pm, while three lunchtime games in the Championship will be drawing to a close: Derby v Coventry and Portsmouth v Norwich, as well as Wrexham’s game, from where Sam Dalling will be reporting. Rob Smyth will guide you through all the news and then action from around the grounds, with Brighton v Fulham, Sunderland v West Ham and Tottenham v Burnley from the top division. In the Championship, can Sheffield United steady the ship at Swansea after the Bristol City debacle and a Carabao Cup exit at Birmingham? We will have reports and reaction from all the Premier League games, plus roundups from the lower divisions.
