⚽ Live scoreboard | Sign up to Football Daily | Email Billy Yes! Another goal, another header in the Premier League. Gibbs-White, a Manchester United fan, attacks the ball at the back post and powers his header down past Lammens. Championship: Carlton Morris has his second for Derby at Bramall Lane. Charlie Kelman puts Charlton in front against Swansea. Stoke have a fourth against Bristol City. FA Cup: After conceding in the first minute, seventh-tier St Albans again leak a goal after kick-off. Charlie Webster doubles Burton’s lead. We’re on a streak of four headed goals in the Premier League. Any more? Eye-catching FA Cup half-time scores AFC Wimbledon (L1) 0-1 Gateshead (NL)
Barnsley (L1) 1-1 York (NL)
Grimsby (L2) 0-1 Ebbsfleet (NLS)
Macclesfield (NLN) 3-3 Totton (NLS)
Slough (NLS) 2-0 Altrincham (NL) Brighton 1-0 Leeds (Welbeck 11)
Burnley 0-2 Arsenal (Gyökeres 14, Rice 35)
Crystal Palace 1-0 Brentford (Mateta 30)
Fulham 1-0 Wolves (Sessegnon 9)
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Man Utd (Casemiro 34) Half-time boos at Forest – for the officials rather than their own team. United lead 1-0 from that controversial corner. Championship: Southampton’s struggles continue as Lewis Dobbin finds the net for Preston at St Mary’s. Luca Kjerrumgaard doubles Watford’s lead against Boro. Oxford level it against Millwall. A shrewd observation from Kári by email: “Rice’s strike today came after a throw-in by Kyle Walker. The fashion for long-throws leaves gaps in defence and Arsenal pounced. I wonder if this is the coming trend. ” There’s always a counter-trend. You can get in touch too. Scotland: Pierre Landry Kaboré doubles Hearts’ lead against Dundee. There’s no stopping them! Agbadou pleads his innocence after cleaning out King as the last man but really he can have no complaints. Wolves want handball off King but VAR says no. They will play the rest of this with 10 men. Rice, provider of the first, scores this one himself as he heads in Trossard’s cross from the left. A ninth successive win is surely on the cards here. The home supporters were still booing the decision to give the corner when Fernandes whipped it into the Forest box. Ouch. Uproar at the City Ground! Dyche is in the face of the fourth official after United are given a controversial corner. Replays showed that perhaps the whole ball hadn’t gone out. Fernandes takes it, Casemiro meets it right on cue and directs the ball down and into the back of the net. The France striker heads off to kick the corner flag in celebration after putting Palace in front by nodding in Lerma’s cross! Tell a lie … Lawrence Shankland gives Hearts the lead against Dundee – seven points the gap back to Celtic as it stands. Scottish Premiership: Falkirk 2-0 Kilmarnock and Livingston 0-1 Hibs are latest scores. Leaders Hearts are still being held at home to Dundee. Sels saves from Amad, perhaps a camera save. Maybe a deflection made it harder than it looked. Dyche has been very keen to get in behind United down the sides. Championship: Stoke are three goals to the good against Bristol City, QPR have equalised against Ipswich through Rumarn Burrell and Carlton Morris has given Derby the lead at Sheffield Utd. FA Cup: Josh Stones has put non-league York in front at John Stones’s former club Barnsley. No relation … I think. FA Cup: Kain Adom has given Gateshead the lead at AFC Wimbledon, bridging the 57 places between the two sides in the pyramid. FA Cup: Four goals in the first 17 minutes between Macclesfield and Totton – 2-2 between the two non-league sides. Get yourselves to Moss Rose. Championship: Birmingham lead Portsmouth having already missed a penalty, Millwall are in front at Oxford and second-place Middlesbrough trail at Watford. Set piece again. Rice’s cross is bunted back across the six-yard box headed in by Gyökeres after Burnley had contested the awarding of the corner. Arsenal seven points clear as it stands. First blood to Brighton as Welbeck is in the right place at the right time to convert Wieffer’s cross. Against the run of play, Sessegnon beats Johnstone with a low shot through his legs. More trouble for Vítor Pereira. Forest’s Ndoye forces Lammens into a save after cutting inside on his left foot and sending a powerful shot goalwards. Casemiro clears the corner. Big goal in the Championship. Divin Mubama puts Stoke in front at home to Bristol City – both teams started the day in the playoff spots. George Hurst has given Ipswich the lead at QPR. Manchester United win a couple of early corners at Forest. Sels threatens to launch a counterattack from one but Amad is there to deal with Ndoye’s breakaway. St Albans have not had a dream start to their FA Cup tie at Burton. The seventh-tier side are a goal down after Tyrese Shade’s first-minute strike. After some Remembrance tributes, we are under way at Burnley, Brighton, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest – and in 32 FA Cup ties. Right, the football’s about to start. I’ll bring you all the Premier League goals as they go in, with updates from Scotland, the Championship and FA Cup as well. Here’s the table before we play: Some more football-adjacent news: Championship: News of Blackburn’s lunchtime win at Leicester and Hull’s victory at Carrow Road has reached us While we wait for kick-off … At the start of the coaching course, I had [offers of] help from colleagues to do everything for me. I said: ‘Stop! I will do everything myself, type every letter. I have to learn. ’ One exercise, I was busy for weeks and really proud. I sent it in and the big red cross came back. ‘Not good enough. You have to do more. ’ OK, I get the point. Feyenoord’s Robin van Persie on his transition to management, as told to Rob Draper: Sophie Downey was at Stamford Bridge this lunchtime to watch Sam Kerr seal the points for Chelsea against London City Lionesses: Early full-time results Women’s Super League Chelsea 2-0 London City Sam Kerr on target
Manchester City 1-0 West Ham Six wins in a row for City Championship
Leicester 0-2 Blackburn Pressure grows on Martí Cifuentes
Norwich 0-2 Hull Likewise for Liam Manning
West Brom 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday First post-Chansiri point FA Cup first round
Chelmsford 4-1 Braintree Town Sixth-tier side cause upset Arsenal are clear at the top of the league but Burnley will think they can be the great disrupters against the current title favourites. The Clarets irritated Liverpool for 90 minutes here before giving away a silly penalty and will not let Arsenal’s reputation dictate their performance. Mikel Arteta has plenty of players in form and Arsenal’s record against Burnley is incredible, only losing once against them in the Premier League, and never at Turf Moor. Only Liverpool have won in the league against Burnley on their own patch, proving that it’s a very difficult place to go. In recent years, the mentality at Arsenal has been questioned, so winning today would be proof of their fortitude this season.

Brighton v Leeds
Burnley v Arsenal
Crystal Palace v Brentford
Fulham v Wolves
Nottingham Forest v Manchester United Championship highlights
Oxford Utd v Millwall
Sheffield Utd v Derby
Stoke v Bristol City
Watford v Middlesbrough FA Cup highlights
Bolton v Huddersfield
Burton v St Albans

Wycombe v Plymouth Scottish Premiership
Falkirk v Kilmarnock
Hearts v Dundee
Livingston v Hibernian Europe highlights
Atlético Madrid v Sevilla (3. 15pm)
PSG v Nice (4pm) And just like that, it’s November. The Premier League moves into its fourth month of the season and, after a fast start by Liverpool, it appears as though Arsenal have become the frontrunners for the title. They face Scott Parker’s Burnley this afternoon at Turf Moor and will go seven points clear at the top of the table with a win. Manchester United’s opening weeks of the campaign were tough going, the nadir that Carabao Cup defeat at Grimsby, but Ruben Amorim seems to have righted the ship and if they can beat Nottingham Forest at the City Ground today then they will go up to the giddy heights of second. Nuno, Ange, Sean Dyche will have something to say about that. Also on the agenda this afternoon is the mid-tabliest of mid-table battles as Crystal Palace (10th) host Brentford (11th), the all-German duel in the dugout at Brighton v Leeds and an almighty scrap at Craven Cottage as troubled Fulham face even-more-troubled Wolves. Alongside those five 3pm (GMT) kick-offs in the top flight, there’s a full programme in the Championship and the small matter of 32 games in the FA Cup first round.
