Saturday Football Roundup: Liverpool vs Brighton, Chelsea vs The Toffees along with Further Action

Good afternoon from London, a place where the sunshine is indeed beaming, although by the time we're at the interval, darkness will be descending. Speaking of which, can there be a happy farewell for the Egyptian star? Furthermore, that does not have to be one forever, of course. He, like many others will be heading to the continental tournament, regardless of what transpires. We await the starting lineups from Liverpool's encounter with Brighton.

Salah on the bench for the Reds. So is Alexander Isak. Further team news is imminent but it looks like Florian Wirtz supporting Ekitike in the forward line.

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

Subsequent Goals have come through, 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 equalised through Ryan Manning.

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

Reports from La Liga, where Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Kylian Mbappe is available to play on Sunday against Alaves. Mbappe missed the European defeat by Manchester City. Alonso confirmed, "We've got Kylian back, he's ready to play, and tomorrow we'll see and decide on his involvement." Real Madrid are without several sidelined players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga.

On that local derby, one fan commented: "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 receiving a red card.
