Hi there, everyone. I'm here at the start of the second half of the match from Craven Cottage. Watford are currently 0-1 up through a goal by Andre Gray.
Watford are currently in 5th but a win here would lift them to 3rd, at least temporarily. Fulham would stay in 15th but would perhaps drop perilously close to the drop zone later in the day with a loss.
Oh - great run and shot by Gray, really tested the Fulham keeper.
GOAL! Bad boy Mitrovic pounces on a chance in the six yard box to flick home Fulham's equalizer.
1-1!
Mitrovic is now joint top scorer with Eden Hazard on five goals.
Oh - Mitrovic hits the bar!
Foster might have got a touch onto the bar there. Very, very close to a Fulham winner.
Full-time at Craven Cottage. Watford stay 5th temporarily and Fulham will jump to 14th.
Next up are the 10am kickoffs, including the NBC Match - Liverpool v. Southampton and of course the untelevised Leeds v. Brum, which I'll be following closely.
Good morning, Bob. Up after a wee bit of extra kip and ready for the 10 AM matches. One on NBCSN and one CNBC.
Got a strong pot of coffee brewing.
WOW ! SAF back at OT for the first time since his brain hemmorage in April.
Saints vs Pool on NBCSN and Evil Neil vs Pep on CNBC

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Salah, Shaqiri, Mane, Firmino. Subs: Fabinho, Milner, Keita, Gomez, Sturridge, Moreno, Mignolet.

Almost kick-off time at Elland Road - come on, you Whites!
Morning, MUR - how are you, mate?
The Reds get us going at Anfield.
The 10 AM matches underway with a strong cuppa by me side.
Doing well. Thank you for asking. How are you?
Yeah, mate - the same. Good week at work. Batching it up again this weekend, with Kate returning next weekend.
Newly promoted Wigan defeated Bristol City yesterday 1-0 to move up to third. That's not idle gossip.
I'm sure Kate will be delighted to be back.Happy for both of you.
Bees take the lead at the Rams. Are they now top?
Glad to see light blue doesn't clash with royal blue in the match on CNBC. That should occur more often.
Terriers move out of the drop zone as they take the lead at the Foxes.
They're still a point behind us on and on goal difference. We have a four goal advantage over them. As the saying goes, "Goal difference is worth a point."
That is a sensible approach for Citeh and Cardiff.
Oh - Salah was threatening there, but the center backs dealt with it well.
Mattias Jorgensen AKA Zanka with the goal.
GOAL! An own goal from Hoedt gives Liverpool the lead. No will care about that down the line.
GOAL !!! POOL TAKES THE LEAD THANKS TO AN OG.
Liverpool pressure paying off there, with Shaquiri finding a great position and then firing a low cross in that Hoedt could only knee into his own net.
1-0 Reds!
Zanka has given Huddersfield an early lead over Leicester.
Shaquiri, in his first Pool start , had a corner headed away. Mane passed back to him . He cut in and a cross deflected off of one saints defender then off of Hoijberg for an OG
Shaquiri back to haunt his former manager, Sparky Hughes.
Yesterday's result and today's lead at the Rams not good for Leeds.
BUGGER!! BRUMMIES TAKE THE LEAD AT ER. SORRY, BOB.
COME ON LEEDS.
The Reading Railroad takes the lead vs the Tigers in a relegation six pointer.
Accrington Stanley takes the lead vs the Real DOns in a L1 match between tiny clubs. Bristol Rovers takes the lead vs Coventry . That's not idle gossip.
Struggling Argyle takes the lead at Charlton.
Newport County in the lead at Trannie.
Salford City in the lead vs Boreham Wood.
Lamps's lads tie it up vs the Bees. Good news for Bob.
Charlton ties it up vs Argyle.
Colchester in the lead at Oldham
GOAL! Matip nods home the second - too easy.
Typiocal of Salah this season. He misses a sitter. Actually a great slide tackle by Cedric the Entertainer for a corner off a one two with Bobby F
Really poor from the Southhampton center backs there. Matip towered over Westergaard to nod home a routine header.
2-0!
GOAL !!! MATIP HEADS POOL TWO UP WITH A FREE HEADER./
Welcome back. I have provided some important updates.
Foxes tie it up vs the Terriers
WAY HAY!!! UNITED TAKE THE LEAD VS WOLVES.
Ihenacho with the Foxes goal.

BLOODY HELL ! BRUMMIES TWO AT ER IN MONK'S RETURN TO ER.
Not good at all!
Top trailing with Wigan in a surprising third place.
Now we're just hanging on by goal difference. What's going on?
Happy for you about that goal for United.
Two of Sparky's former clubs in action as Blackburn takes the lead at The Brit./
Cheers, mate. Sorry about the score at ER. Fred will be pleased for his namesake.
I've just seen a picture of Fred celebrating his goal at OT. He sucking his thumb and has the ball up his shirt, so apparently he's also celebrating a birth.
GOAL !!! CITEH TAKE THE LEAD IN THE WELSH CAPITAL/. TOP TWO LEADING
Aguero has opened the scoring for Citeh at Cardiff.
Romeu picks up a yellow card for a rash one on Shaquiri.
Evil Neil's lads schooled as there were lots fo first time passes that culminated at Weekend at Bernie's passing to Aguero , who scored with a well placed close range effort.
GOAL !!! CITEH TWO UP. WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S SCORES OFF A CORNER.
Etheridge had just failed to keep out a deflected cross for a corner . Sane took the corner short to Gundogan then got the pass back and he cross ed in for Weekend to score with a looping header.
Bob will be pleased that Lamps lads lead the Bees 3-1.
And Bernie Sanders has added a second goal for Citeh.
Bristol Rovers three up vs Coventry. That's not idle gossip.
That does help us out, yes. But we need to fight back at ER. Losing to Brum at home is not acceptable.
Donny Trump on top vs Bradford City
And to Monk, of all managers. That would be Brum's first win of the season. They've drawn half a dozen out of eight

GOAL !! CITEH THREE UP WITH QUITE A FINISH FROM gUNDOGAN
From the Guardian: "Garry Monk is doing a job on his former side – Birmingham are 2-0 up at Leeds, who have been forced into a first-half tactical substitution as Marcelo Bielsa attempts to stem the tide."
I love it that Bielsa is willing to make changes straight away. Come on!
Cardiff won a tackle then Sterling immediately won the ball back and some passing between him, Sane , and Gundogan resulted in a long range effort in the upper 90.
Jo Rawls booked for a nasty tackle on sane . Could have been red.
Agreed, mate. Hope the change results in Leeds goals.
Leeds have had nearly 70% possession and have had seven goal attempts. Brum have had 3 and scored from two of them.
We're well capable of scoring three goals in the second half.
Fred will b e pleased that the Black Cats are two up vs Rochdale.
GOAL! Shaquiri hits a corker off the bar. Salah finishes it to break his goal drought.

Evil Blades two up vs Evil Ridsdale's struggling team
Lemina picks up a yellow card for a cynical tug back on Mane.

Good change and agreed that Leeds need goals.
Another long Citeh possession as Sterling played a slide rule pass down the left for Sane whose pass in the box was tapped in at the far post by Mahrez.
Mahrez, the super sub has extended Citeh's lead.
Young Phil Foden on for Gundogan and coming on as his team is four up.

Bielsa to be fair to him has made all of the changes that he can today. Dallas, Forshaw and Edmondson all on.
Looks like Evil,Neil and his former club, the Terriers , will be in the drop zone along with the Toon.
No more rolls of the dice.
You must love the fact that Evil Neil;'s lads are being schooled. So much for being too cool for school.
Loads of possession now but we need to make it count. Come on, you Whites!
