You want more reading before kick-off I hear you say? Well you are in luck. Jonathan Liew was at the MEMS Priestfield Stadium to bring you all the action from Leicester’s 1-0 win over Gillingham, give it a read:

“I’m afraid it’s just a cup of coffee right now, Sarah, seeing as it’s still not 10am,” Joe Pearson in Indianapolis says. “But my favourite stadium snack was a bratwurst at a Milwaukee Brewers game. Heaven!” Oh that does sounds like heaven, though I can imagine quite messy depending on the choice of topping.

Do you want to catch up with earlier action? Of course you do! Have a read of David Hytner’s report below who attended the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for Spurs 1-0 win over Portsmouth.

I have also grabbed my second coffee of the day so I am fully equipped for the (hopefully) goal fest afternoon. The question is how many coffees is too many? I’m sure I’ll find out.

Phew that was a lot of team news and results! I’ve managed to grab myself some snacks for the action packed afternoon, what is your go to for football? If you’re at home or keeping up with the rest of the matches from a stadium let me know your matchday food of choice! I absolutely love the football scran Twitter page so let’s get something similar going. You can find me on Twitter, @rendellx, or on email.

The final result to bring you from the earlier kick-offs is a 2-0 win for Reading over Watford. Kelvin Abrefa stuck in first half injury time and Shane Long sealed the win in full time injury time.

Shrewsbury v Sunderland team news

Boreham Wood v Accrington Stanley team news

I said they were all wrapping up and they haven’t disappointed with two more matches hearing the full-time whistle. Kelechi Iheanacho scored only goal of the game in Leicester’s 1-0 win over Gillingham. Southampton, meanwhile, secured a valuable 2-1 win amid their bumpy season against Crystal Palace. Odsonne Edouard put Palace ahead but James Ward-Prowse and Adam Armstrong made sure the Saints came up trumps.

I have another result to bring you, they are coming thick and fast now, Preston have defeated Huddersfield 3-1. Florian Kamberi opened the game’s scoring to put the visitors ahead but a Tom Lees own goal and strikes from Bambo Diaby and Alan Browne ensured Preston got the victory.

There is team news for three more matches for the 3pm kick-offs but one of the earlier games has just wrapped up. Tottenham have narrowly beaten Portsmouth in a 1-0 result. Harry Kane found the net in the 50th minute to ensure the Premier League side got the win over the League One team.
