Key events
Norwich are back in front, the goal coming from Jovon Makama, his second.
Some goals have done in, and it’s Huddersfield 1-1 Wigan, Oxford 1-2 Preston, Salford 1-2 Colchester, Norwich 1-1 Southampton.
At Norwich, whose goal came from Jovon Makama, Southampton missed a first-half penalty and have now equalised through Ryan Manning.
Salah on the bench for Liverpool
So is Alexander Isak. More team news to follow but it looks like Wirtz supporting Ekitike in attack.
Liverpool fans appear less well disposed to Salah than those back in his home country.

Preamble
Good afternoon from London, where the sun is actually shining, though by the time we’re at half-time, darkness will be descending. Talking of which, can there be a happy send-off for Mohamed Salah? And that doesn’t have to one forever, of course. He, like many players will be heading to the Africa Cup of Nations, whatever happens. We await the team news from Liverpool’s game with Brighton. Just one other match at that time, though a significant one at the top of the table.
Here are today’s 3pm UK time kick-offs.
Chelsea v. Everton
Liverpool v. Brighton
There’s a full round of EFL action, too.
