West Ham United v Queens Park Rangers (Football League)
From 20:00
Coverage of the Championship match from The London Stadium. The visitors are going in search of their first victory against the Hammers in 22 years when they claimed a 1-0 victory at home in this division. Since then West Ham have four of the last six games between these two sides, including a 2-1 win after extra time in the FA Cup third round back in January.
10 Oct
West Bromwich Albion v Birmingham City (Football League)
From 12:30
Coverage of the Championship match from The Hawthorns, as the local rivals go head to head. The visitors have had the better of this fixture in recent years having only lost one of the last seven meetings between the two teams. That loss came in February 2024 when the Baggies claimed a 1-0 victory at this ground, a win that ended a run of four consecutive successes for the visitors.
10 Oct
Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League)
From 17:30
Coverage of the Premier League match from Old Trafford, as both sides play their first game after the international break. The hosts have been below-par so far this season having only picked up five points from their opening five matches. Their visitors have fared even worse, claiming just two points in their five games and are currently bottom of the table coming into this round of fixtures.
11 Oct
Southampton v Portsmouth (Football League)
From 12:00
Coverage of the Championship match from St Mary's Stadium. The Saints have won all four of their league matches so far this season, with the most recent of those being a comfortable 4-1 victory over Bristol City, while Pompey have won one, drawn one, and lost one on their travels to date, and that loss came at the hands of the Robins in a 2-1 defeat in August.
11 Oct
Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest (Premier League)
From 14:00
Coverage of the Premier League match from Selhurst Park. Palace welcome Forest in the first Premier League weekend back after the international break, with both sides looking to build momentum as the campaign develops. The visitors have already faced Palace this season in the reverse fixture, while the Eagles will be hoping their home advantage can help them claim another valuable three points. With Forest also facing a busy schedule across domestic and European competition, this could be an important test for both sides.
11 Oct
Hull City v Everton (Premier League)
From 14:00
Coverage of the Premier League match at MKM Stadium. The teams last met here in the third round of the FA Cup in the 2021/22 season, when Everton claimed a 3-2 win. The Tigers will be hopeful of earning a result this time around after enjoying a strong start to the campaign that saw them lose just one of their first five league games, but the Toffees also started the season well.
11 Oct
Liverpool v Manchester City (Premier League)
From 16:30
All the action from the Premier League match at Anfield. City did the double over the Reds last season, prevailing 3-0 at Etihad Stadium and 2-1 here, and they have started the current campaign with wins in all of their opening five league games. Liverpool have also made an unbeaten start to this term under new manager Andoni Iraola, but they have drawn three of those contests and this looks to be their toughest test so far.
12 Oct
Coventry City v Newcastle United (Premier League)
From 20:00
Coverage of the Premier League match at Coventry Building Society Arena. The newly promoted hosts endured a difficult start to the season, losing their first four league matches, but they bounced back with a victory at Nottingham Forest before the international break. Meanwhile, Newcastle have had a steady campaign so far with two wins, two draws and just one loss.
13 Oct
Millwall v Swansea City (Football League)
From 19:45
Coverage of the Championship match from The Den. The Lions home form in the league has been inconsistent thus far, and while they claimed impressive wins over Norwich City and Bolton Wanderers, they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Wrexham and also drew 2-2 with rivals West Ham United last time out. Meanwhile, The Swans went into the international break at the division leaders having won five, drawn two, and lost one, with the sole defeat coming away to Southampton.
13 Oct
Stoke City v Middlesbrough (Football League)
From 20:00
Coverage of the Championship match at bet365 Stadium. Tomas Rigo gave Stoke a 1-0 lead in last season's corresponding fixture, but goals by Alan Browne and Thomas Conway gave Boro a 2-1 win, with the Potters' cause not helped by Bosun Lawal's 77th-minute red card.
14 Oct
Lincoln City v West Ham United (Football League)
From 20:00
Coverage of the Championship match from ProAmpac Stadium. These two sides last met back in 2023 in the League Cup at this ground in a game that was decided by a 70th-minute Tomas Soucek goal that gave the Hammers a 1-0 victory in the third round of the competition.
16 Oct
Burnley v Wolves (Football League)
From 20:00
All the action from the Championship match at Turf Moor. These teams last met here on the final day of last season's Premier League campaign, when Adam Armstrong gave Wolves an early lead from the penalty spot, but Zian Flemming's strike just after half time gave the Clarets a share of the points. It was a disappinting season for both teams, and while Wolves have shown signs that an immediate return to the top flight may be possible, Burnley's poor form has carried on into the current term.
