Weekend Football Clockwatch: Liverpool v The Seagulls, Chelsea v Everton along with Further Fixtures

A pleasant afternoon here in London, where the sunshine is indeed shining, though by the moment we're at half-time, dusk will be falling. Speaking of which, can there be a positive farewell for the Egyptian star? And, that does not have to be one forever, of course.

Big scoreline in League Two, where it's a regional clash of Bristol Rovers v Swindon; relatively local. Swindon are ahead 3-0.

Subsequent Scores have done in, and it's currently Huddersfield 1-1 Wigan, Oxford 1-2 Preston, Salford 1-2 Colchester, Norwich 1-1 Southampton. At Norwich, whose equaliser came from Jovon Makama, Southampton missed a first-half penalty and have now drawn level through Ryan Manning.

Norwich have gone back in front, the decisive strike coming from Jovon Makama, his second of the game.

Reports from Spain, where Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Kylian Mbappe is available to play on Sunday against Alaves. Mbappe missed the Champions League defeat by Manchester City. Alonso stated, "We've got Kylian back, he's ready to play, and tomorrow we'll see and decide if he starts." Real Madrid are without several injured players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga.

On that Bristol Rovers v Swindon game, one fan reported: "Hi. Bristol Rovers 0 Swindon 3 doesn't tell the half of it. Ten League defeats in a row incoming, which is one club record. Five home losses in a row is another club record... It's not much fun being a Gashead these days." For Swindon, Aaron Drinan has joined Rovers' Kacper Lopata in being shown a red card.
