Yesterday's results & headlines

Arsenal kept their perfect start to the season intact with a comfortable 2-0 win over Sunderland on Sunday, stretching their unbeaten run in all competitions to six games. It was a busier afternoon elsewhere at the top: Manchester City edged the Manchester derby 1-0 against Manchester United, while Liverpool were held to a goalless draw by Fulham at Anfield and Tottenham Hotspur remain without a Premier League goal this season after a blank draw at Everton. Chelsea were pegged back twice by newly promoted Hull City in a 2-2 draw.

Further down the table, Brighton thrashed Coventry City 5-0, Nottingham Forest beat Aston Villa 2-1, Ipswich Town came from behind to edge Crystal Palace 3-2, and Bournemouth and Brentford shared four goals in a 2-2 draw.

Leeds put four past Newcastle

Monday night's late kick-off produced the biggest scoreline of the round: Leeds United thumped defending Carabao Cup holders Newcastle United 4-1 at Elland Road. Lewis Miley's own goal and a Jayden Bogle strike inside two first-half minutes set the tone, Dominic Calvert-Lewin added a third before the break, and substitute Noah Okafor made it four after the interval. Bazoumana Touré's late consolation was scant reward for the visitors, and Leeds move up to third in the table.

Chelsea and City flex muscles in the WSL

In the Women's Super League, Chelsea thrashed Manchester United 5-0, and Manchester City put four past Aston Villa in a 4-1 win, both results underlining why the pair are already being talked up as the title's front-runners this early in the campaign.

Today's fixtures & previews

Carabao Cup, third round

It's a big night in the League Cup with five Premier League clubs in third-round action. The standout tie sees Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, kicking off at 20:00 and shown live on Sky Sports/ITV4. Liverpool are unbeaten in all competitions this season (three draws, two wins) but have been toothless in front of goal; Spurs arrive 17th in the table without a league goal to their name, though they have won five of the last ten meetings with Liverpool in this competition and Andy Robertson could face his old club.

Arsenal travel to Portman Road to face Ipswich Town, also kicking off at 20:00. Mikel Arteta's side have won every match so far this season and go in as heavy favourites against a Championship-bound Ipswich side already stretched thin by injuries. Elsewhere, West Ham United host Fulham at 19:45, Reading welcome Brentford at 20:00, and Peterborough United take on Barnsley at 19:30.

Horse racing

Four British fixtures make up a solid Flat and jumps card. Redcar stages seven races from 13:53 to 16:54, Uttoxeter runs National Hunt action from 14:00 to 17:05, and Yarmouth holds a seven-race Flat card from 14:17 to 17:18. Under the lights, the all-weather at Wolverhampton rounds off the evening with racing continuing into the night. Punchestown across the Irish Sea also stages an eight-race card for those following the wider circuit.

Player news & injury updates

Saliba's long road back

Arsenal's biggest concern remains William Saliba, who has been sidelined since picking up a back injury on World Cup duty with France in the summer. Surgery was not recommended and Mikel Arteta has confirmed the defender's recovery is being managed slowly, with no firm return date in sight — a significant loss for a side that has otherwise conceded just twice all season.

Liverpool's treatment room

Arne Slot remains without Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa and Giovanni Leoni for tonight's cup tie, with Leoni facing a lengthy knee lay-off. Cody Gakpo was a doubt before Sunday's draw with Fulham but was only managing cramp, while Joe Gomez and Giorgi Mamardashvili are both available.

Manchester United's absentees mount

At Old Trafford, Amad Diallo has yet to feature this season, while Manuel Ugarte continues a lengthy knee-injury absence. Marcus Rashford was rested in midweek and Luke Shaw remains to be assessed after sitting out United's recent European trip.

Tuchel's September squad taking shape

England head coach Thomas Tuchel will confirm his squad on 18 September for this month's Nations League fixtures against Spain, Czech Republic and Croatia. He is already set to be without Chelsea's Cole Palmer, Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, all sidelined through injury, though Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo are expected to return to the fold.
