Weekend's Football Live Updates: The Reds v The Seagulls, Chelsea vs The Toffees along with Further Action

Good day from the capital, a place where the sunshine is indeed shining, although by the moment we're at half-time, dusk will be falling. Speaking of which, can there be a positive send-off for Mohamed Salah? Furthermore, that does not have to be a departure permanently, of course. He, like many others will be heading to the Africa Cup of Nations, whatever transpires. We await the starting lineups from the Merseyside club's game with Brighton.

Here are today's 3pm UK kick-off fixtures.

Reports from La Liga, where Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Kylian Mbappe is fit to play on Sunday against Alaves. Mbappe was absent for the Champions League defeat by Manchester City. Alonso confirmed, "We've got Kylian back, he's ready to play, and tomorrow we'll see and decide on his involvement." Real Madrid are without several injured players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga.

On that Bristol Rovers v Swindon game, one fan reported: "Hi. Bristol Rovers 0 Swindon 3 doesn't tell the half of it. Ten League defeats in a row incoming, which is one club record. Five home losses in a row is another club record... It's not much fun being a Gashead these days." For Swindon, Aaron Drinan has followed Rovers' Kacper Lopata in receiving a red card.
