Plenty of early kick-offs across the Championship, League One and League Two. You can see all the details on our live scores page. The most eyecatching scoreline is in Staffordshire, where Stoke lead Charlton 4-0.

Justin Devenny, who signed from Crystal Palace in the week, is on a debut hat-trick – as is his new teammate Ethan Galbraith. Charlton had 10 points from four games going into the game.

For the first time since 2019, Chelsea are beginning a WSL season as Not Champions. Their attempt to win it back is under way; they lead Aston Villa at half-time thanks to a solo goal of frightening simplicity* from Lauren James.

* At least that’s how she made it look. In reality it was anything but.
